"Vandalism implies hate for America"
Volume 97 Number 21
Tuesday, September 14, 2004
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "In memory of that day, some UT students wanted to place a memorial to honor the victims. On Tuesday night, these students met and placed 3,025 flags in the amphitheater between the Humanities buildin and the library - one flag for each victim. The memorial was beautiful, and very moving. People walking through were noticeably affected by it. One would assume that it was a gesture everyone could agree on.
Unfortunately, this was not the case. Late last week, an individual or group of individuals vandalized the memorial. They removed every flag, and moved them to the plaza, where they planted them again. They arranged them to spell out "The World Suffers." They also chalked various antiwar and anti-Bush slogans on the side of the Humanities building and on the pavement. Obviously, their message was that the world suffered because of the United States, not because of 9/11. Implicitly, it stated that we got what we deserved."

"US, Russia secretly remove uranium from Uzbekistan"
SNIPPET: "Uzbekistan has been touted as a bastion of Muslim moderation, but evidently neither the US nor the Russian governments believe that is entirely true. From AFP:
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States and Russia carried out a secret operation last week to remove weapons-grade uranium from the former Soviet republic of Uzbekistan, whose government is facing growing Islamist unrest, said the Energy Department....
Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham said Monday the one-day operation, implemented last Thursday, was crucial for enhancing international security."
It included several links and I'd like to share 2 of them with you. FYI.
