As Democratic hopeful John Kerry whines about the Swift Boat Veterans questioning his Vietnam “war service,” more revelations have surfaced which challenge the legitimacy of his first Purple Heart. The Senator claims that that medal was received because of enemy fire he took, but his own personal diary contradicts that assertion. While the Senator’s supporters tried unsuccessfully to portray President Bush as being “AWOL” during the Vietnam War, they won’t address the fact that Kerry tried to defer his military service at that time for 12 months. And what would Kerry and his friends say about the fact that his...

Today the mainly Muslim state...

I was wondering if any of you good people could point me to an article that traces Bush's business history. I know there is plenty of spin, exagerations, and lies out there on this topic, so is there a factual article that does not make Bush look like a dishonest dunce? If there is one from a "reputable" source such as a mainstream newspaper or such, that would be even better. Thanks for any help. P.S. If this post does not come out right, I am sorry. This is my first time on this forum.

June 10 — Nicolai Lassen considers linking such a fundamental element of the World Wide Web that he sees nothing wrong with creating a service around linking to news articles at more than 3,000 other sites. Danish publishers, however, equate such linking with stealing — and have gone to court to stop it. The case, scheduled for hearings in Copenhagen later this month, is among the latest to challenge the Web’s basic premise of encouraging the free flow of information through linking. REQUIRING PERMISSION before linking could jeopardize online journals, search engines and other sites that link — which is...
