Day of the Dead: The Haunting of the White House
By Cynthia McKinney and Catherine Austin Fitts

Something is rising from the ashes of September 11: the spectre of questions that will haunt our country until answered.

Months after the release of the official 9/11 Commission Report - even as Congress moves to implement its proposals for a radical centralization of security forces - growing numbers of Americans are doubting their own government's account of what really happened on September 11, and how.

Is It Bin Laden, Or Memorex?
By Carl F. Worden

When I saw the movie, "Forest Gump", the part where Forest, played by actor Tom Hanks, met with John F. Kennedy, I felt shudders all over my body.

If you saw the movie, you remember the scene where old clips of Kennedy were altered to fit a meeting where the character Gump looked like he was right there with Kennedy, and they exchanged a friendly banter. It scared the living Hell right out of me. It gave me food for thought. That segment looked so real any jury would have concluded it to be true. (Read the rest here)

Bush’s Electoral Prospects Get a Little Help from Overseas
By Ivan Eland

Although John Kerry has a commanding lead in worldwide polling with 72 percent, George W. Bush’s prospects may have been boosted in the more important election here at home by a single foreigner-Osama bin Laden.

Some expected bin Laden to be a factor in the U.S. election - either through an anti-U.S. terrorist strike or, for those more inclined to conspiracy theories, through the Bush administration’s apprehension of him just before the election. Yet four days before the election, bin Laden confounded all expectations by releasing a video that seemed to be aimed at conveying a more statesmanlike presence.

Libertarian Commentary on The Day's News
By Nathan A. Barton © 2004

Well, it came. Election Day. The 55th election of the Chief Executive of the United States of America, an experiment unrivaled in history, is beginning. It is a process that will take at least two months. Then there is the election of thousands of other people to fill various offices, and the decision by (some of) the people on hundreds, if not thousands, of other issues. As usual, there is a lot of hype, a lot of screaming, a lot of lawyering, and a lot of opinions being bandied: this column is part of that last, at least. The opinions expressed herein are my own, not necessarily RRND or TPoL opinions, or anyone else.

Again, since RRND is doing a “web-only” digest this week, I’m including the news summaries written by Tom and crew, as well as my commentary. Your opinions are welcome, please! (Read the rest here)
