22. Military Tribunals for Terrorist Suspects - For (USAToday.com - Ingraham)
    Defends the secrecy of military tribunals as a way of protecting American securitiy. "Much of the anti-military-tribunal howl centers on the fact that the proceedings are held in secret. However, it is eminently reasonable to think that as we pursue our war against terror, the public prosecution of individuals who are part of a worldwide conspiracy to murder as many Americans as possible would be harmful to a wide variety of U.S. interests. Classified information whose secrecy is critical to future U.S. investigations could be compromised -- such as the identity of double agents, specifics of other terrorist plots and the details of the covert techniques used by our government to prevent them." "Whatever damage military tribunals do to our international reputation, we risk far greater damage to our national psyche if non-citizen terrorists are allowed to exploit our system and our national pain in prolonged and costly courtroom dramas." 11-01

25. 11-28-03 Senator Clinton Visits Iraq (Guardian Unlimited - Krane)

    "Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat, said a ''critical factor'' for coalition authorities was securing the blessing of Iraq's majority Shiite Muslim community, including Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, who has criticized the plan."
    
    "Al-Sistani, whose opinion is crucial to the success of any political plan in Iraq, has said in recent days he wants an elected Iraqi provisional government instead of one chosen through regional caucuses."
    
    " 'We're caught in a dilemma, possibly of our own making,' Reed said. 'A quick, hasty election might bring to power a person who doesn't share the values we're trying to encourage. But the more we wait, the more it looks like an occupation.' " 11-03

    "In his prepared testimony, Greenspan said pushing taxes up enough to meet future spending promises under Social Security and Medicare might pose a risk to the overall economy."

34. John Paul II - The Authoritarian Pope (Alternet.org)
    "John Paul II took an institution just beginning to throw off the chains of centuries of insularity and autocracy and to be plain speaking, reshaped it into what can only be described as a totalitarian institution."
    
    "In 1958 Pope John XXIII assumed the papacy. Within months he called for an 'aggiornamiento,' a 'bringing up to date' of the church. Church services began to be conducted in native languages. Priests and nuns and laity were given more participation and authority."
    
    "Pope John XXIII died shortly after Vatican II convened. But the reforms he nurtured took root and flowered under his successor. Journalist Gwynne Dyer recently recalled his impressions after visiting Catholic churches around the world in 1978 in preparation for a televised documentary. 'In southern Africa, Catholics were playing a leading role in resistance to apartheid. In Latin America, the phenomenon of 'liberation theology' was reconnecting the church with the impoverished peasant millions whom it had long ignored. In Europe and North America, the old hierarchies were all under challenge, but especially the hierarchy of gender. Justice and equality were the themes and the energy was astonishing."
    
    " 'Twenty-five years later,' Dyer sadly observes, 'it is all gone.' "
    
    "John Paul II attended the Vatican Council meetings in the 1960s and opposed the changes. Upon taking office he undertook to reverse them. To achieve this goal he dramatically centralized and exercised powers."
    
    "In the 1980s French theologican Marie-Dominique Chenu put it bluntly. John Paul harkens back to the 'prototype of the church as an absolute monarchy.' " 4-05

35. Essay - 10 Steps to Better Elections (SierraClub.org)
    "We don't have to quietly accept the status quo. Here are ten ways we could dramatically improve our electoral system.

All have the same end: to expand the franchise, and make sure that every vote is counted." 5-05

37. -06-26-05 CIA Charged With Criminal Abductions (International Herald Tribune)
    "The extraordinary decision by an Italian judge to order the arrest of 13 people linked to the CIA on charges of kidnapping a terrorism suspect here dramatizes a growing rift between American counterterrorism officials and their counterparts in Europe."
    
    Milan's deputy chief prosecutor said "I feel the international community must struggle against terrorism and international terrorist groups in accordance with international laws and the rights of the defendant." "Otherwise, we are giving victory to the terrorists."
    
    "Besides their objections to the American rendition policy, European counterterrorism officials also partly blame a lack of access to terrorism suspects and information held by the United States for their failure to convict a number of their own high-profile terrorism suspects."
    
    " 'The American system is of little use to us,' a senior Italian counterterrorism investigator said. 'It's a one-way street. We give them what we have, but we are given no useful information that can help us prosecute people.' " 6-05

41. -Editorial: Defining Terrorism (Christian Science Monitor - Jenkins)
    "What is terrorism? Consensus has been elusive. But now that the United States is officially at war with terrorism, definition is crucial."
    
    "The term has been applied promiscuously to all forms of violence. But to get beyond propaganda, terrorism must be defined according to the quality of the act itself, not the identity of the perpetrators or the nature of their cause. An act is not terrorism simply because one opposes the cause, or because someone labeled 'terrorist' carries it out. Nor is an act not terrorism because a cause is deemed noble. Ends do not justify means."
    
    "That said, what are the qualities of terrorism?"
    
    "What sets terrorism apart from other violence is this: terrorism consists of acts carried out in a dramatic way to attract publicity and create an atmosphere of alarm that goes far beyond the actual victims. Indeed, the identity of the victims is often secondary or irrelevant to the terrorists who aim their violence at the people watching. This distinction between actual victims and a target audience is the hallmark of terrorism and separates it from other modes of armed conflict. Terrorism is theater." 11-05

42. -11-05-05 Reid: Vice President Blocked Investigation (New Republic)
    "In the wake of his daring feint against the Republicans on Tuesday, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid invited some congressional reporters down to his office on the second floor of the U.S. Capitol building for a chat."

43. -11-15-05 Rice Works to Open Palestinian Borders to Trade (Time Magazine)
    "Rice's all-nighter demonstrated the extent of hands-on diplomatic effort required to get the two parties to achieve what she conceded was just one step towards the goal of establishing a Palestinian state that can live in harmony with its Israeli neighbor. Once the drama of its 13th hour surprise ending fades, the episode may be a sobering reminder of how long and arduous the journey remains — and of how much more may be required of the Bush administration and its successors if progress is to be sustained." 11-05

44. Editorial: Bill Threatens "Unwritten Constitution" (FindLaw)
    "Last week, the Senate unanimously approved a defense authorization bill which, if approved by the House, will dramatically curtail the ability of prisoners held at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to challenge their detention in federal court."
    
    "The Amendment's key provision would strip the federal courts of jurisdiction to entertain habeas corpus petitions from Guantanamo Bay detainees--except in two circumstances."

45. McCarthy, Joseph (University of Wisconsin)
    "In a 1950 speech, McCarthy entered the public spotlight by claiming that communists had "infested" the State Department, dramatically waving a sheet of paper which purportedly contained the traitors' names. A special Senate committee investigated the charges and found them groundless. Unfazed, McCarthy used his position to wage a relentless anti-communist crusade, denouncing numerous public figures and holding a series of highly confrontational hearings. With little if any proof of his charges, McCarthy relied on accusation, slander and innuendo to tarnish his opponents' reputations (a practice now known as "McCarthyism")." 12-05. Visitors sometimes misspell as MacCarthy, Mc Carthy, or Mac Carthy.

46. Coal Mining Safety (ABC News)
    "The 1968 coal mine explosion in Marion County, W.Va., which killed 78 men, prompted Congress to pass the Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. Since then, the rate of fatalities has dropped dramatically, according to the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. Twenty-eight coal miners died in 2004, a steep decline from the industry's deadliest year, 1907, when 3,242 employees were killed." 01-06

47. -Editorial: Checks and Balances on the President During Wartime (The New Republic.com - Levy)
    "The executive branch has declared itself to be the sole legitimate judge of the scope of its own authority during wartime--even in the domestic arena, even when the subject matter permits congressional and judicial participation, and even when Congress has already acted. Each of the other assertions of power over the past several years suddenly seems dramatically more ominous against the background of this rejection of separation of powers. It's legally conceivable that the president has the authority to detain suspected unlawful combatants during wartime. But if the executive is the sole judge of whether that position is constitutionally correct, then the separation of powers doctrine at the heart of the American constitutional order is in serious jeopardy." 01-06

48. Agricultural Machinery (Wikipedia.org)

Given the truly elemental human need for food, agriculture has been an essential human activity almost from the beginning, and it has often driven the development of technology and machines.

    "There are three specific events that these scientists describe as especially worrisome and potentially imminent, although the time frames are a matter of dispute: widespread coral bleaching that could damage the world's fisheries within three decades; dramatic sea level rise by the end of the century that would take tens of thousands of years to reverse; and, within 200 years, a shutdown of the [Atlantic thermohaline] ocean current that moderates temperatures in northern Europe." 01-06

50. Browning, Robert and Elizabeth Barrett (HistoryChannel.com)
    Provides the story of the romance and marriage of the two famous poets. "Barrett Browning's Sonnets From the Portuguese (1850), of which the line 'How do I love thee? Let me count the ways' has since become one of poetry's best-known, was written during their courtship and early marriage and is about her dramatic romance with Browning, and how he helped her save herself from a life of sickness and isolation." 02-06
