What investigation
(Opinion ~ 12/04/03)
Whatever happened to the supposed investigation by Bush's boys into the leak by someone who dropped the name of an agent in our Secret Service? George said his guys could handle it, and a special counsel wasn't necessary. He also added, we may never find out who leaked the name.

George is going to have to explain this lack of action during the election campaign...

ACLU is selective
(Letter to the Editor ~ 12/04/03)
**Dear Editor, Perhaps the ACLU might be taken more seriously if that organization vigorously defended ALL of the civil liberties guaranteed to Americans by the Bill of Rights. From what I have read in the headlines, however, they do not. They pick and choose their cases in such a manner that average, mainstream Americans feel left behind...
