Read non-mainstream press and websites

Tragedy and war crimes in Iraq

By John Servais · Sat Apr 10, 2004

A missile into a mosque

By John Servais · Wed Apr 7, 2004

To watch CNN today is to ask “what mass killing of Iraqis in a mosque”. Same on FoxNews. Not mentioned directly and you have to look elsewhere for details. Much talk about ‘test of wills’ and US milit

10 killed is only the tip of the iceberg

By John Servais · Mon Apr 5, 2004

When some of the 24 US soldiers wounded in Iraq over the weekend die from their wounds - they will not be counted as deaths in Iraq. Only those who actually die on the battlefield are counted.<

Fooling with elections

As scripted, a partial veto. Gov. Locke vetoed the ‘Top 2’ section of the primary election bill, SB6453. This gets the Republican and Democrat party bosses off the hook - a huge favor to t

No Locke on SB6453

By John Servais · Wed Mar 31, 2004

Gov. Locke is not scheduled to act on the primary election bill today. This the 20th day since the legislature adjourned and supposedly the last day he can act on a bill. SB6453 is missing from his fu

For those who are in awe of the ‘experts’ in Olympia

By John Servais · Tue Mar 30, 2004

For your morning entertainment. And for those who are in awe of the ‘experts’ in Olympia. Gov Locke vetoes three sections of a bill meant to streamline our bankruptcy laws. To wit:

They all know they violated the public trust

By John Servais · Sun Mar 28, 2004

Before Wednesday, Gov. Locke will act on SB6453, the primary election bill. There has been no news on his deliberations these past two weeks. All legislators are very quiet. No press releases by the p

Let the parties use the caucuses

By John Servais · Fri Mar 19, 2004

Gov. Locke has not acted on the primary election bill. No doubt he is wondering how his reputation will be hurt if he vetoes the ‘Top 2’ process. He will be known in the future as the guy who tried to

Locke is working _with_ the party machines

By John Servais · Sun Mar 14, 2004

Delays are due to secret bargaining

By John Servais · Sat Mar 13, 2004

Will Gov Locke veto the ‘Top 2’ primary process and allow the Montana process to become law? Probably, but not necessarily. He may sign the entire bill - getting himself off the hook with voters - and

Expect a partial veto

By John Servais · Wed Mar 10, 2004

Voting against democracy

They always say they “suspended the rules”

By John Servais · Tue Mar 9, 2004

SB6453 passed the House late this evening by a vote of 51 to 46. Now - if Gov. Locke will just sign it. More when we have more facts. The morning papers should cover it decently.
