I was recently sent a link to the article Explosive Testimony: Revelations about the Twin Towers in the 9/11 Oral Histories, on the site 911truth.org.

Here is a great interview with Noam Chomsky entitled There Is No War On Terror. Some of my favorite quotes from it, follow:

I am excited to hear about the possible investigation for the impeachment of Bush (I’ve been calling for it for a while). Too bad it’s not something that I am hearing much about – you all? No?

I just got done reading the article:
Colleagues force DeLay to relinquish grip on leadership of House on The Guardian. I have already heard about this on blackwednesday.org, but it’s a story that makes me smile.
