  4. Editorial: Reform Needed in Voting Security (CommonDreams.org)
      "On December 4, 2000, in time to change the outcome of the Electoral College vote, Greg Palast published an article in Salon.com, made into a BBC television documentary shortly thereafter, that laid out solid evidence of massive electoral fraud in Florida, perpetrated against the majority-Democratic-voting African American community by Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush.

  7. 08-13-08 Editorial: United States Shares Blame for Russia-Georgia Conflict (Time.com)
      "America contributed to the war in Georgia in two important ways.
