Lech Walesa Denounces US Gulags 
The United States leads the world economically and militarily, but it no longer does so morally. This is partly due to the fact that it has occasionally resorted to immoral methods to fight the phenomenon of international terrorism. It says: we have the money, we have the means, and we will fix the problem ourselves. But how much will this cost in human terms? You have to prove your high moral standing by deeds, not by words. This also applies to detention. I say it with all due respect for t...

real i.d. act: Big Victory for Big Brother By tacking the ominous Real ID Act to an $82 billion military spending bill, President Bush won the approval of the Congress and signed the act on May 11. Previously, the Real ID Act, which lays the groundwork for the federal government to track and maintain records of all cardholders movements and purchases, was expected to face opposition in the Senate.
