Photo’s of Friends at Camp Casey
"This photo was taken the as the sun rose the morning after the pro war lunatic drove over 500 Arlington West crosses at Camp Casey . We had started home from the first week in camp and decided to return immediately because we realized the crazy’s who were hassling the camp had become more brazen . Our fear was well founded when 2 hours after arriving back in camp we found ourselves chasing this maniac down the road. We did not catch him, but it seems the metal stakes on the crosses flattened a tire and the police found crosses embedded in the underside of his truck ."

Did New Orleans Catastrophe Have to Happen? ‘Times-Picayune’ Had Repeatedly Raised Federal Spending Issues
“…after 2003, the flow of federal dollars toward SELA dropped to a trickle. The Corps never tried to hide the fact that the spending pressures of the war in Iraq, as well as homeland security — coming at the same time as federal tax cuts — was the reason for the strain. At least nine articles in the Times-Picayune from 2004 and 2005 specifically cite the cost of Iraq as a reason for the lack of hurricane- and flood-control dollars. “

Abu Ghraib General Lambastes Bush Administration
I had been hesitant to speak out before because this Administration is so vindictive. But now I will … Anybody who confronts this Administration or Rumsfeld or the Pentagon with a true assessment, they find themselves either out of a job, out of their positions, fired, relieved or chastised. Their career comes to an end.
— Janis Karpinski, interview with Marjorie Cohn, August 3, 2005
Karpinski says she did not know about the torture occurring in Cellblocks 1-A and 1-B at Abu Ghraib because it took place at night. She didn’t live at Abu Ghraib, and nobody was permitted to travel at night due to the dangerous road conditions. The first she heard about the torture was on January 12, 2004. She was never allowed to speak to the people who had worked on the night shift. She “was told by Colonel Warren, the JAG officer for General Sanchez, that they weren’t assigned to me, that they were not under my control, and I really had no right to see them.”
