News censorship is not some obscure conspiracy theory

John Servais · Mon Sep 29, 2003

Indeed, I watched CBS news and they have the story now. (see 3 pm below) Still nada at the CNN and FOXnews websites. A search shows nothing. Novak of CNN wrote the article that exposed the identity of

US soldiers would never do things like that

John Servais · Mon Sep 29, 2003

How many war prisoners is the USA holding? 6,000? A new website is trying to track all the foreigners the USA is holding in secret prisons or not telling us about. Amnesty International is involved. T

It is probably Brett’s to lose

John Servais · Fri Sep 26, 2003

All week I’m hearing from political pros how Mark will still beat Brett for mayor. Mark is too smooth, they say. Mark knows what to say in every situation. Brett is doing a poor job of exposing Mark’s

Taking care of our own—NOT!

The Auditor counted all but the last

John Servais · Tue Sep 23, 2003

Insist on the truth about war casualties

John Servais · Fri Sep 19, 2003

Were 8 US soldiers killed yesterday, besides the 3 being reported? We may not learn for days, weeks or months. As casualties mount, the US military appears to be playing with the numbers. The US only

Some comments on national issues

Just so you guys have an idea of how much traffic flew through this post, my live-blog got 126 hits directed from NWCitizen to my site. Wow, thank you guys for following the liveblog. I’m not sure when I will be able to another live blog (primary night perhaps?) but I will definitely be turning in a full length article on the Dem’s endorsement meeting this Thursday.
