Winds of Change has an excellent and incisive roundup of acts of terrorism and where they are committed. I found the results for India most distrubing. We seldom hear about the attacks there and it appears that there's far more going on there than we know. Likely the attackers are Pakistanis (or perhaps unhappy locals). I've been looking for evidence that the US has recognized this and is working on the problem in tandem with India. More than likely they are doing so, but quietly. Our alliance with Pakistan is tenuous and revealing our working with India would be fatal to any such arrangement.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
