While the War Party cheerfully celebrates the holiday season attending galas and fundraisers, the forgotten wounded deal with the prospects of a New Year very different from the last they celebrated.
A Soldier’s Return
Since the war started, more than 2,300 American soldiers in Iraq have been hurt in combat, many by artillery shells and homemade bombs [...]
Traditional Catholic Reflections & Reports has prominently run Justin Raimondo’s article, Pope John Paul II: Man of the Year.

Kudos to The Army Times:
Their Photos Tell the Story, by Jimmy Breslin
The Army Times, a civilian newspaper that is sold mainly on military bases and thus reaches the prime wartime audience, uses eight pages of its year-end review, out now, to run photos of all those who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan…
In introducing the [...]
…who doesn’t march to the beat of the Pentagon’s drummer. It is alarming enough that much of the media have voluntarily fallen into lockstep with the Administration, but not content with that, they now want to silence the remainder who refuse to compromise their ethics to churn out propaganda.

Apparently, the Pentagon’s recruitment goals are not being reached, contrary to assurances that there has not been a marked decline in new sign-ups. Looking further afield has become the current recruitment policy for Uncle Sam Wants You, Eh?
“As Bush was ramping up the Iraq war last winter, Canadian military officials were startled to discover [...]
Just when I was beginning to believe that the outing of an undercover CIA agent for political revenge was going to slip from memory without any heads rolling, apparently there are some who haven’t forgotten and are putting the pressure back onto the Administration. Senators Daschle and Levin, in no uncertain terms, are demanding [...]
Light blogging this week—sorry—but this story was too good to pass up. I guess the Israeli government has run out of Peruvian Native Americans to import for demographic padding, because now they’re shipping in “lost tribes” from India.
“This is my land,” said Mr. [Sharon] Palian, a 45-year-old widower who left a lush rice farm [...]
Has it really been more than two years since the anthrax attacks — and still no one arrested? Hard to believe! We’ve managed to bag Saddam, who never did anything to us. But Ashcroft, Ridge and untold billions of tax dollars later there are still no arrests, still no information on how [...]
The mixed feelings on the Arab street to the capture of Saddam Hussein is the subject of this article by Kamel Labidi, a journalist in Cairo who wrote his observations for THE DAILY STAR, the English language newspaper of Lebanon.
