Regarding the Doug Wead Tapes: On the tapes, recorded over the course of the two years before Bush became the Republican presidential nominee, Bush discusses strategy for his presidential run and appears to acknowledge past drug use.

The long-overdue document, an articulation of U.S. strategic priorities that is required by law, lays out a robust view of America's power and an assertive view of its responsibility to bring change around the world.

Lebanon-Iran, Politics, 5/25/2006 http://www.arabicnews.com/ Journalist Investigated for Mocking Putin Israeli-Palestinian Gunfight Leaves 2 Dead Alabama candidate for AG disputes Holocaust, is coming to
NJ By JAY REEVES Associated Press Writer May 12, 2006, 3:56 PM EDT BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- A Democratic candidate for Alabama
attorney general denies the Holocaust occurred and said Friday he will speak
this weekend in New Jersey to a "pro-white" organization that is
widely viewed as being racist. Larry Darby concedes his views are radical, but he said
they should help him win wide support among Alabama voters as he tries to
"reawaken white racial awareness" with his campaign against Mobile
County District Attorney John Tyson. The state Democratic chairman, Joe Turnham, said the
party became aware of some of Darby's views only days ago and was considering
what to do about his candidacy. Speaking in an interview with The Associated Press, Darby
said he believes no more than 140,000 Jewish people died in Europe during World
War II, and most of them succumbed to typhus. Historians say about 6 million Jews were slaughtered by
the Nazis, but Darby said the figure is a false claim of the "Holocaust
industry." "I am what the propagandists call a Holocaust
denier, but I do not deny mass deaths that included some Jews," Darby
said. "There was no systematic extermination of Jews. There's no evidence
of that at all."..... Gibson inspired by 'fear-mongering' Bush Friday May 12,

decline of the Maya kingdom and the slaughter of thousands of inhabitants as
human sacrifices in a bid to save the nation from collapsing. Gibson reveals he used present day American politics as
an inspiration, claiming the government callously plays on the nation's
insecurities to maintain power. He tells British film magazine Hotdog, "The
fear-mongering we depict in the film reminds me of President Bush and his
guys". Cheney pushed for unfettered domestic wiretaps (AFP) AP World NewsSunday, May 14 ? Israeli Troops Kill 6 in West Bank Raids (6:49PM EDT)

Bershad & Schulman was charged today with several criminal counts,
including obstructing justice, perjury, bribery and fraud. The 20-count indictment, handed up by a federal grand
jury in Los Angeles, represents the most prominent confrontation between the
government and a law firm in years. While federal regulators won
multimillion-dollar settlement from big corporate law firms over their role in
the savings and loan scandals, no major law firm has faced a criminal
indictment in recent memory. Milberg Weiss has been the dominant law firm in winning
multimillion-dollar lawsuits against huge corporations on behalf of
shareholders who claimed they were wronged. Its success was so great that
Congress raised the legal hurdle for winning such lawsuits in the 1990's. Today, the firm was accused of secretly paying kickbacks,
beginning in 1981 and continuing through 2005, to plaintiffs in class-action
lawsuits. While the indictment does not prevent the firm from practicing law,
it is expected to have a huge impact on its business. Talks in recent days to avert an indictment had stalled
between prosecutors in Los Angeles and lawyers representing Milberg Weiss,
lawyers involved in the negotiations said. The firm had been unwilling to sign
a deferred prosecution agreement in which it have waived attorney-client
privileges, put in new monitoring systems and made a substantial payment. Two of the firm's prominent partners are named in the
indictment: David J. Bershad and Steven G. Schulman. The two men, who sat on
the firm's executive committee, decided to take leaves of absences late last
week in the hopes it would stave off an indictment of the entire firm. While the indictment caps off a six-year investigation by
the Justice Department into the firm's activities, prosecutors have been
stymied in their efforts to bring charges against the two primary targets of
the investigation, Melvyn I. Weiss and his former partner William S. Lerach. Before a bitter split in 2004, when Mr. Lerach began his
own firm, the two dominated the securities class-action arena through their
firm Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach. Mr. Weiss ran the East Coast
operations of the firm, "Milberg East," and Mr. Lerach headed up the
San Diego operations, known as "Milberg West." Both men were told in February that they would not be
indicted at this time, although people involved in the talks believe they still
remain targets of prosecutors. The indictment against the firm and Mr. Bershad and Mr.
Schulman was included in a revised indictment that was originally handed up
last summer against a retired California lawyer and former Milberg client,
Seymour M. Lazar. Beginning in 1981 and continuing through about 2004, Mr.
Lazar or members of his family served as plaintiffs in approximately 70
lawsuits for Milberg Weiss and received about $2.4 million in "secret and
illegal kickback payments," according to the new indictment. While Mr. Lazar has long stated his intentions to fight
the charges, another Milberg Weiss client, Howard J. Vogel, signed a plea deal
with prosecutors last month, agreeing to provide information against the firm. A retired mortgage broker, Mr. Vogel admitted that he or
members of his family served as plaintiffs in approximately 40 lawsuits from
1991 and as recently as 2005, receiving approximately $2.5 million in
"secret and illegal kickback payments," according to the new
indictment. A third figure named in the indictment, a Beverly Hills
ophthalmologist named Dr. Steven G. Cooperman, or members of his family acted
as plaintiffs in nearly 70 lawsuits, receiving approximately $6.5 million in
payments, the new indictment said. Testimony by Mr. Cooperman prompted the original
investigation six years ago. He is a highly controversial figure, however, as he
offered to provide evidence to prosecutors in hopes of receiving a reduced
sentence on his conviction of art fraud charges. Under New York law, it is illegal for a lawyer to promise
or give anything of value to induce a person to bring a lawsuit or to reward a
person for having done so, according to the indictment. Furthermore, the kickbacks created a conflict because the
paid plaintiffs had a "greater interest in maximizing the amount of
attorneys' fees awarded to Milberg Weiss than in maximizing the net
recovery" to others in the class, the indictment said. UPDATE - Milberg Weiss fired by Ohio attorney general McCain Finds Unfriendly Audience in NYC By BETH FOUHY,

10:38 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - FBI officers raided a House of
Representatives office building on Saturday night, and NBC television said it
had searched the offices of Louisiana Democratic Rep. William Jefferson. "Agents of the FBI's Washington field office
executed a search warrant this evening at Rayburn at approximately 7:15,"
Debbie Weierman, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Washington field office, said. According to court records filed in the plea deal,
Jefferson helped secure a deal with a Nigerian company called Netlink Digital
Television and in return demanded payments to a company maintained in the name
of his wife and children. Ney has been named, although not charged, in a bribery
scandal centered on former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who has pleaded guilty to
plying lawmakers with Super Bowl tickets, travel junkets and other gifts to win
favors for his lobbying clients. Ney's former chief of staff, Neil Volz,
pleaded guilty earlier this month to one count of conspiracy to commit fraud
and to violating a one-year ban on lobbying after leaving Ney's office in 2002
and joining Abramoff's lobbying firm. William Jefferson caught with $100,000 in $100 bills he

fragment it into different services, web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee has said.
Recent attempts in the US to try to charge for different
levels of online access web were not "part of the internet model," he
said in Edinburgh. He warned that if the US decided to go ahead with a
two-tier internet, the network would enter "a dark period". Sir Tim was speaking at the start of a conference on the
future of the web. "What's very important from my point of view is that
there is one web," he said. "Anyone that tries to chop it into two will find
that their piece looks very boring." Imagine the audacity of congress objecting to the
enforcement of laws against corrupt members as FBI Agents [the only federal
employees that don't take bribes) raid congressional member's office for
additional evidence (William Jefferson caught with $100,000 in $100 bills he

well done, consistent with the preservation of a meaningful rule of law, and

same should be true for the corrupt courts) (if only there was a statute making
incompetence illegal; all congressional members could be prosecuted (record

World to protest this injustice! Myanmar's Suu Kyi Released From Hospital 6-9-06 Berners-Lee: Web Is Ready To Evolve - Walaika K. Haskins,
newsfactor.com Sun May 28, 1:15 PM ET The mainstream Web is ready for the next step in its
evolution, the father of the Internet proclaimed at this year's World Wide Web
Conference (W3C). Twenty years from now, we'll look back and say this was
the embryonic period," Tim Berners-Lee, the man credited with creating the
Web, said last week during the opening of conference. "The Web is only
going to get more revolutionary." Supporters of what is called the "Semantic Web"
predict an entirely new Internet that enables computers to do more of the heavy
lifting in terms of processing data and being able to better interpret the
information found on Web pages. Interactivity, Customization The Semantic Web is characterized by a greater focus on
interactivity and customization, and an emphasis on media content and social
technologies. In terms of e-commerce and other functionality, experts say, the
Semantic Web will bear little resemblance to the current Internet. The higher level of performance will be achieved, in
part, by new technologies that move well beyond traditional keyword-search
strategies. As fleshed out at the conference, Berners-Lee's vision of
the next-generation Internet is one in which Web sites, links, media content,
and databases are "smarter," having the ability to automatically
provide more meaning than what is available to users today. The Semantic Web would make better sense of the glut of
data on the Internet and give it context. More Automation Using new programming languages, the technology would
augment the Web with a "Semantic layer," explained Alex Linden, a
former analyst at Gartner. Linden explained that, for average Internet users, the
technology initially will mean better searches. "Because of the additional
data that can be processed better by computers, it will feed all kinds of
search, analytics, and reporting," he said. "More automation is always great," Linden said,
pointing to Google's Froogle search engine as an early example of Semantic Web
technology. The Semantic Web will be "a great improvement in user
experience," he said. "I think there's a chance actually that we can do
better this time around," said Berners-Lee during a W3C panel discussion
about the Semantic Web. Sunday, May 28, 2006 ? Volcano's Lake Turns From Blue to Red (11:58PM EDT) Questions on a Palestinian referendum on Israel Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has proposed that the

unlike the other two years, they've lost a pretty substantial chunk of their

Superman movie dazzles critics in first reviews
The Hypocrisy of DemocratsSpeaking yesterday before a union rally in Worcester,
Massachusetts, Senator Edward Kennedy announced: ?My vote against this
misbegotten [Iraq War] is the best vote I have cast in the United States Senate
since I was elected in 1962.? What Kennedy forgot to mention is that his vote
against the Iraq War further proves that his belief structure adjusts to wind
speeds, and Massachusetts can get mighty windy. Speaking at the Johns Hopkins School Of Advanced
International Studies only weeks before Kennedy cast his ?nay? vote on the Iraq
War, the senator remarked, ?We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is
seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.? (9/27/02) Nine days later on CBS? ?Face the Nation,? Kennedy added:
?Saddam Hussein is a dangerous figure. He?s got dangerous weapons.? (10/6/02) By 2005, Kennedy was singing an altogether different
tune: ?Instead of providing open and honest answers . . . the
president reverted to the same manipulation of facts to justify a war we never
should have fought.? Of course, Kennedy is not the first (liberal) democrat to
change his opinion when the polls began to indicate that the war was unpopular.
In fact, between 1998 and 2003, the Iraq WMD song was quite the hit. For music
lovers everywhere, I have assembled a compilation of democrats who proudly sang
along. Senator John Kerry?Blues ?I will be voting to give the President of the United
States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein
because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his
hands is a real and grave threat to our security.? Oct. 2002 ?Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He
is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a
particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his
continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ...
So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real...?
Jan. 2003 President Bill Clinton?Jazz Fest ?One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the
capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver
them. That is our bottom line.? Feb. 1998 "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force,
our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction program." Feb. 1998 Al Gore?Monotone, I Mean Baritone "We know that he has stored secret supplies of
biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." Sept. 2002 "Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has
proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as
long as Saddam is in power." Sept. 2002 Backup Singers ?We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the
stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction.?
Madeline Albright, Feb. 1998 ?He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as
he has ten times since 1983.? Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser,
Feb. 1998 ?[We] urge you, after consulting with Congress, and
consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including,
if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond
effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass
destruction programs.? Letter to President Clinton, (D) Senators Carl Levin,
Tom Daschle, John Kerry, others, Oct. 1998 ?Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of
weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the
region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.? Rep. Nancy
Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 1998 ?Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building
weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.? Madeline Albright,
Clinton Secretary of State, Nov 1999 "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein
is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has
ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass
destruction and the means of delivering them." Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI),
Sept. 2002 "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October
of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of
chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash
course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities.
Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." Sen.
Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 2002 "There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein
is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear
weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always
underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass
destruction." Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct. 2002 "In the four years since the inspectors left,
intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his
chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his
nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists,
including al-Quaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked,
Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and
chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." Sen.
Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct. 2002 "We are in possession of what I think to be
compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years,
a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass
destruction." Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 2002 And here I thought President Bush was behind the faulty
intelligence. Impressive how he was able to manipulate his predecessor's
intelligence as well while he was governing Texas. This compilation was brought to you by Dr Politico
Records, Inc., and special guest producer Glenn Beck. A source for each quote
can be found here. Getting back to Senator Kennedy, it?s worth mentioning
that in the sea of inconsistencies that mark his public service, his vote
against the Iraq War was a welcomed change. After all, in 1991, he voted
against the Persian Gulf War as well. I guess liberating Kuwait from Saddam?s
tyrannous grip did not meet his criteria for a ?yea? vote. I wonder where that
one falls on his list of favorite votes. Kennedy?s Inconsistencies On Abortion: Until the passage of Roe v Wade, Kennedy held a pro-life
position. In a letter dated August 3, 1971, Kennedy wrote to a colleague that
the legalization of ?abortion on demand? goes against ?the value which our
civilization places on human life.? Yet, with the flip of a switch, Kennedy has
become one of the staunchest supporters of abortion rights. In 1999, Kennedy voted ?nay? on a bill that would ban
?partial birth abortions,? the practice of which is both vile and gruesome. On Immigration: In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed into law the
Hart-Celler Act, which dramatically changed US immigration policy. Kennedy
voiced his support for the bill to the Subcommittee on Immigration and
Naturalization: ?The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It
will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards
of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.? Today, Kennedy is the ranking Democrat on the Senate
Committee on Immigration, and has become one of the strongest advocates for
legal and illegal immigrants alike. On Alternative Energy: Kennedy has long been a staunch supporter of alternative
energy development and has a long record of voting in support of that fact. Yet
his support for such development ends where his neighborhood begins. Today, the US Senate continues to debate a proposed Cape
Cod wind energy project that would obstruct Kennedy?s million dollar view and
those of his constituents. Thus, he is leading the battle against the project
and has enlisted the support of his fellow, hypocritical democrats. According
to John Passacantando, executive director of Greenpeace USA: The maneuver to stop the wind farm ?is clearly a backroom
deal, and they're going to get called publicly on it. . . . The Democrats are
going to kill the first big offshore wind farm in the United States because of
their relationship with Ted Kennedy.? Boston Globe Should the project be carried out, Kennedy?s Hyannis Port
home would be within 8 miles of the 130-turbine, 24-square-mile cluster of
windmills. Of course, you can?t really blame Kennedy. In all fairness, he never
voiced support for the building of alternative energy sources in his own
neighborhood; rather, Kennedy supported such construction in other people?s
neighborhoods. Posted by Dr Politico at June 3, 2006 02:16 PM Mayor urged to address cocaine allegation By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN, Associated Press
