parliament, was quoted by the local Fars News Agency as saying.
TVNL Comment: Here we go!
· Saddam Execution Rushed to Hide Information — Russian Ex-PM - Saddam

precious resource from national control
· U.S. Bringing Second Carrier to Mideast - The deployment of the USS

· U.S. Says Attacks Are Surging in Afghanistan - Senior American
officials said Tuesday that they had seen a threefold surge in insurgent
attacks in Afghanistan in recent months, caused by militants coming
across the border with Pakistan, and they vowed to hold new talks with
Pakistani officials on curbing the influx.
TVNL Comment: Where is Bush's speech to the nation warning Pakistan
about their border with Afghanistan; or is Iran the only nation that is
not allowed to support our "enemies?"
· Fifty active duty officers to deliver Iraq pullout petition to
Congress - According to Liam Madden, spokesman for the affiliated group
Iraq Veterans against the war, the petition will be received on behalf
of the "out of Iraq caucus" by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), a 2008

Baghdad university as students were heading home for the day killed at

POLITICS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#politics

the Electoral College and award the presidency to the winner of the
nationwide popular vote is making some headway in states large and small
— including, somewhat improbably, North Dakota.
· Not Only the Worst President, but the Worst Possible President - At
any rate, what I think happened is that when the Bush/Scowcroft/Baker
faction decided to use Little George as their presidential poster boy to
expand their Middle-East-based wealth and power, they didn't reckon with
Cheney and Rumsfeld. They thought their boy would be personable and easy
to control. The key moment was when Cheney went looking for a
vice-presidential candidate and found himself.
TVNL Comment: This article nails it!
· WH Moved Swiftly to Replace US Attorneys - The administration is
replacing U.S. Attorneys throughout the country. How'd they get that
power? It was an obscure provision in the USA PATRIOT Improvement and

freshman Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) will deliver the official response to
President Bush's State of the Union address next Tuesday," Erin P.
Billings reports for Roll Call.
· ***** Cheney's "Stomach for War" - Nothing like getting lectured about
guts from a guy whose idea of hunting is to go to a private club and
shoot cage-raised birds. And yet that's what we got Sunday, when *****
Cheney was brought above ground, re-animated and rolled into Fox News,
to tell America we need to have the "stomach to finish the task in Iraq."
ECONOMY : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#economy
· The Triple Deficit Paralyzes Policy Vision - The U.S. has a powerful,
growing economy, yet we pro-ject the "wrong path" image of an aging
society drowning in debt and burdening the world with risk. This gloomy
fiction distorts our domestic and international economic policymaking.
We should reject it and launch a more energetic vision of global
prosperity built on economic freedom and dynamism.
· What $1 Million Buys In Homes Around The World - "One million dollars
doesn't buy very much in the most desirable global property locations,"
9/11 News : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#911
· 9/11 Investigation Initiative - A truly independent investigation
must be of the people, by the people and for the people. It must be
conducted in the full light of day, with nothing hidden, and nothing
held back. Secrets are for those who have something to hide!

· 113 US Universities, VA Hospitals Mum About BioWar Resear - The
costliest, most grandiose research scheme ever attempted having germ
warfare capability is going forward under President Bush and in apparent
defiance of international treaties such as the Geneva Convention of 1925
that bans biological agents.
· Protesters Found in Database - A Defense Department database devoted
to gathering information on potential threats to military facilities and
personnel, known as Talon, had 13,000 entries as of a year ago --
including 2,821 reports involving American citizens, according to an
internal Pentagon memo to be released today by the American Civil
Liberties Union.

· Did AP cover same Bush speech as major papers? - In its article on
President Bush's visit to Fort Benning to promote his plan to increase
troops in Iraq, the Associated Press claimed that Bush was "surrounded

politely" -- "hardly the boisterous, rock-star reception Bush typically
gets at military bases."
EDITORIAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#editorial
· When "The System" Fails! - The role of Commander-in-Chief is a
sub-text for the office of the presidency of the United States during

for a Dictator who no longer answers to the Congress or to the people
that the congress supposedly represents.
· Of Savage Imperialism, Pigskin Monopolists, And Intellectual
Emasculation - What could better reflect the collective psychosis of the
American Empire than our mass obsession with the NFL? Born through
violent revolution, expanded by genocide, enriched by slavery, and
elevated to hegemony through imperialism, militarism, and economic
tyranny, the United States, like NFL football, embodies avaricious
savagery masked by a fastidiously maintained illusion of benevolent
civility.
JOURNALISM & MEDIA : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#media

gets at military bases."
