- Bradbury Against Unilateral Action in Iraq (Bradbury2002.com)
Provides Bill Bradbury's arguments against unilateral action by the USA against Iraq. Bradbury ran and lost against Gordon Smith for U.S. Senator from Oregon. Senator Smith voted for President Bush's resolution in the Senate. President Bush's resolution, which was passed by Congress, allows the President to initiate warfare against Iraq without support from the U.N. or other countries.
According to Bradbury, "Prudent and decisive action in collaboration with our allies and the United Nations is the best way to achieve long-term national security. A preemptive, unilateral attack merely demonstrates America's power. A measured, well-deliberated international response demonstrates America's strength."
President Bush's resolution "authorizes preemptive, unilateral action that threatens to undermine the very support from the international community that is essential to confronting the threat posed by Saddam Hussein and maintaining international support for the war against terrorism."
"General Wesley Clark, former Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe recently noted, a premature, go-it-alone invasion of Iraq 'would super-charge recruiting for Al Qaida.' Preemptive, unilateral military action could galvanize a new generation of suicide bombers that would threaten the United States and our allies. Further, a preemptive, unilateral invasion of Iraq, without UN support, would set an exceptionally dangerous precedent for the conduct of international affairs in the 21st Century. Any nation could justify attacking its neighbors." 10-02

- Top Actors by Last Name (MovieActors.com)
Provides short biographies of MovieActors.com "Super Stars." "By our definition, a 'Super Star' is a movie actor or actress who can 'open' a movie, someone whose fans rush to see their latest film on opening weekend. They have a proven track record of box office hits. They are frequently household names. It also helps if they have gotten critical acclaim and/or Oscar nominations. A 'Super Star' can be identified by his/her first name like 'Mel' or 'Julia' or 'Harrison.' A 'Super Star,' whether it's Humphrey Bogart or Tom Cruise, usually plays him/herself in role after role, as opposed to losing themselves in a different screen character, movie after movie."

- -09-05-05 Displaced Americans Try to Make a Life in Astrodome (USA Today)
"Smith is — well, was — a machine operator at a New Orleans seafood plant. Now he sleeps maybe two hours a day, from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m., eats, showers, catches snippets of news on a TV in one of the concourses, minds his four kids with his wife, reclines on his cot, reads the Bible, or wanders his new home, trading numb stares with other aimless people."
"Many folks here have lost contact with loved ones, and they worry if this will be permanent. They feel adrift, detached, anxious. What they did to deserve this, how long they'll stay, where they go — they've got plenty of time now to mull these questions." 9-05

- "Superspreaders" a Key for Spread of Disease (Scientific American)
"James Lloyd-Smith, a biophysicist at the University of California at Berkeley and colleagues studied the statistics of eight diseases ranging from measles to monkeypox, and were surprised to find that there was no meaningful 'average' number of people who could be infected by a contagious individual. 'A lot of people don’t infect anyone,' Lloyd-Smith says. Rather, a tiny number of superspreaders are responsible for an epidemic. The researchers developed a mathematical model to predict disease dynamics arising from superspreaders, which showed that depending on circumstances, a viral outbreak can either fizzle out or explode."
" 'There is a great need for rapid action once a disease is identified, to identify the people you should target for control,' Lloyd-Smith says." 12-05
- 05-12-06 Russert: We Need to Know Why the Government Is Spying on Us (MSNBC News - Russert)
"Quest [Qwest phone company] wanted to know who authorized this [collection of domestic phone calls] program. America has very strict laws on collecting this data and sharing it." (Qwest refused to give the National Security Agency the information because it did not present the legal justification. Other phone companies gave them the information.)
"You know there’s another piece of this. It’s not only telephone calls, but email traffic. And when you couple this with other data collection – when you go to a grocery store or drug store and you give them a little card for discount, they also record your purchase – put those lists together and you have a complete profile of 'Joe Smith on First Street.' These are the drugs he takes, these are the foods he buys, these are the calls he makes, these are the credit lines he has. Pretty soon both the government and private sector companies know everything about you." 05-06
