As the anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches, members of the Bush administration will participate in somber memorials to the victims. But beneath their words will be a calculated effort by the Bush gang to build more pressure for the next phase of their "war on terror."

TELL BUSH: WE SAY NO TO WAR AND WITCH-HUNTS!

WHAT RIGHT DO THEY HAVE?
A slew of pundits and politicians has raised objections to the Bush gang¹s plan for a new war on Iraq. But no one in the Washington establishment is willing to ask the more fundamental question: What gives the U.S. government the right to declare that it¹s time for a "regime change" in Iraq?

MISSING FROM THE RISING
The Rising is a powerful tribute to the victims of September 11 and their family and friends. But what looms over Bruce Springsteen's new album is what¹s not there--the virtual absence of any reference to how the tragedy was exploited as an excuse for war, at home and abroad.

WHERE IS THE FIGHT AT BOEING HEADED?
