- Muslim Rage (The Atlantic - Lewis)
A tiny percent of Muslims are terrorists, just as a tiny percent of Christians or Jews are terrorists. However, there is a growing number of Muslims, especially fundamentalists, that are very angry with the United States. Bernard Lewis, the Middle Eastern scholar, summarizes why so many Muslims, especially fundamentalists, are so intensely anti-American. Editor's Note - Dr. Lewis appeared on the Charlie Rose television show (10-18-01) and pointed out that vast numbers of Middle Eastern Muslims are also very pro-United States. He gave the example of the tens of thousands of Iranians who publicly demonstrated their grief, sorrow, and support for the United States because of the September 11th disaster--despite strong orders from the Iranian government not to do so. Also called 911, 9-11, or 9/11. 10-01

- Lewis and Clark Expedition - A History (LewisandClark.org)
"On February 28, 1803, the Congress appropriated funds for a small U.S. Army unit to explore the Missouri and Columbia rivers and tell the western Indian tribes that traders would soon come to buy their furs. The explorers were to make a detailed report on western geography, climate, plants and animals, and to study the customs and languages of the Indians. Plans for the expedition were almost complete when the President learned that France offered to sell all of Louisiana Territory to the United States. This transfer, which was completed within a year, doubled the area of the United States. It meant that Jefferson's Army expedition could travel all the way to the crest of the Rockies on American soil, no longer needing permission from the former French owners."
Editor's Note: It could be argued that the French never bought the land and really did not have the moral authority to sell it. The Indigenous people who had been on the land for centuries never sold the land to the French and were still there. What the Americans bought was the agreement for the French to provide no military resistance to Americans as the Americans took the land from the Indigenous people. 01-07

- Bailey, Ann (AmericanRevolution.com)
"The ride in 1791 was what Anne is most famous for. A runner was sent from Point Pleasant to Ft. Lee to say Indians were going to attack with a large army force within a few days. The ammunition was low in Ft. Lee at the time. They needed ammunition so they could fight off the Indians. Anne rode a very dangerous trail alone. She rode 100 miles to Lewisburg across wilderness without roads to get the gun powder. She returned with the much needed supply of ammunition. Anne died in November 1825 of old age. A poem was written in 1861 by Charles Robb about this ride. It was called 'Anne Bailey's Ride'." 10-05

The president's own chief political adviser, Karl Rove, escaped indictment, but was warned that he was still under investigation in the case - a 2003 intelligence leak at the heart of the administration's case for going to war in Iraq." 10-05

- Libby, Missing Weapons, and the Coverup (International Herald Tribune)
"The five-count indictment handed up on Friday against I. Lewis Libby Jr., accusing the vice president's chief of staff of lying to a grand jury in the Valerie Plame case, has left a lot of questions unanswered about which government official was responsible for outing a covert Central Intelligence Agency officer after her husband questioned one of the central justifications for the war in Iraq. But its account of the lengths to which the White House went in 2003 to quash talk of faulty intelligence on Iraq still does not answer the biggest question of all: How that intelligence, most of it meager and old and some of it flat wrong, was used by the White House to justify going to war." 10-05
- -01-05-06 Alito Expected to Move Supreme Court Decisively to the Right (Christian Science Monitor)
