Phase III of the Campaign of Conscience for
the Iraqi People
The Bush Administration is considering pursuing
military action against as many as 40 countries suspected of harboring
terrorists.
Iraq remains a prime target....William Cohen,
told incoming President George Bush in January 2001, "Iraq no longer poses
a military threat to its neighbors."
Iraq is willing to let weapons inspectors
return if the bombing and economic sanctions are lifted (Iraqi Ambassador
to UN al-Douri, BBC Nov. 29, 2001), a solution that would promote international
security and the welfare of the Iraqi people.

Talk-show legend Phil
Donahue has joined MSNBC
as the host of a new
one-hour talk show to air weeknights at 8PM, ET on MSNBC. Donahue will
interview newsmakers, reporters and analysts on the topics of the day.
He's a political liberal
who supported Ralph Nader in the 2000 presidential election, and his leanings
represent a clear counter-programming strategy to Fox's Bill O'Reilly,
whose show is particularly popular among conservatives.

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes
so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't
even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears
and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've
got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run
it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will
be prevented from working at all!"
Mario Savio
"What we are talking about here - whether one wants to
recognize it or not, or call it by its proper name or not - is a form
of self-censorship. I worry that patriotism run amok will trample the
very values that the country seeks to defend."
"It's unpatriotic not to stand up, look them in the eye,
and ask the questions they don't want to hear - they being those who have
the responsibility, the ultimate responsibility in a society such as ours,
of sending our sons and daughters, our husbands, wives, our blood, to
face death, to take death..."
Dan Rather, in an interview with BBC's Newsnight From
the UK Independent, 17 May 2002.
