The people behind
MoveOn.org. Good
article in today's
Washington Post about MoveOn.org,
which has grown in less than five years from a Web site opposed to
Bill Clinton's impeachment to a major center of online activism for
causes such as opposition to the war in Iraq and media
reform.
Here's
a Q&A with MoveOn.org's
campaigns director, Eli Pariser, by the Portland Phoenix's Sam
Pfeifle. And here's
a closer look at MoveOn.org
by AlterNet's Don Hazen.
Still more on why Saddam didn't
save himself. Alexander Knapp has a smart, long post on Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction. He thinks the evidence supports their
existence, and worries that they fell into the hands of
terrorists
and/or mercenaries when US
troops rolled in.
Read the whole thing, but here's
his conclusion:
If it turns out that Iraqi
materials or weapons have fallen into the hands of terrorists, and
those weapons are used against Western targets, then Bush,
Rumsfeld, and Franks will all have a lot to answer for. And as
I've said before, for their simple negligence in failing to secure
suspected WMD sites, I think that Rumsfeld and Franks should be
sacked. At the very, very least.
