1 | 2 | 3 | Next1 Citation from the page: "According to Federation of Indian Students of Australia (FISA)..., bashings and other crimes against Indian students have grown steadily over the past two years, yet complaints lodged to police have been systematically ignored, with students themselves blamed for being ?soft targets?. While police have allowed muggings and bashings to proceed with impunity, this month?s student protests have received no such leniency... Industries, banks and offices that once employed tens of thousands of workers, were closed down during the 1980s and 1990s, condemning entire families to a life of unemployment and poverty from which they have never recovered... Over the past 12 months the number of 15-19 year olds without work has leapt from 10 to 18 percent nationally... Over the past 10 years, immigrants, asylum seekers, ?boat people?, Muslims and ?Lebanese gangs? have all become scapegoats for the failure of the profit system to provide adequate livelihoods and services...", delicious.com

Gabrielle Schoeneweis: The Sad and Tragic News 1 Citation There are four children without a mother tonight. It doesn?t matter that Scott is a millionaire and it doesn?t matter that the children will be set financially for life.

1 Citation Pelosi?s bad week of blithering responses about why she did nothing after being briefed on torture has given Republicans one of their happiest ? and harpy-est ? weeks in a long time.
They relished casting Pelosi as contemptible for not fighting harder to stop their contemptible depredations against the Constitution.
That?s Cheneyesque chutzpah. The stylish grandmother acted like a stammering child caught red-handed, refusing to admit any fault and pointing the finger at a convenient scapegoat.

I would go further: not only do Congressional Democrats have blood on their hands ? but so do we, the American people. And CIA agents may be about to be sacrificed to assuage their ? and our ? actual and associative guilt. The suddenly urgent calls by our Congressional Democratic leaders, and even by many of the American people, to prosecute CIA operatives, military men and women and contractors who were certainly involved with, colluded in or turned a blind eye to torture are not only the height of hypocrisy, they are a form of unconscionable scapegoating. The scapegoating is political on the part of Congressional leaders, and psychological on the part of many Americans who are now "shocked" at what was done in their name. Hello America, were you asleep for the past seven years? The fact that the Bush administration used torture has been the furthest thing from a secret... ", delicious.com
