  • Next message: Phil Agre: "[RRE]pointers"

    Here are 200+ more URL's about the war, including extensive coverage
    of the anthrax attacks, the new anti-terrorism law and its effects,
    security controversies, arguments that it's all about oil, and the
    shameful House "stimulus" bill.  Thanks to everyone who contributed.
    
    Next edition on Monday evening.  Please send me items that are not
    likely to appear in the mainstream media.
    
    RRE home page: <http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/rre.html>

    This page seemed so self-evidently wacky that I didn't take great
    care with my disclaimer.  In fact I meant the "..." to communicate
    something like "the author is a few fries short of a full Happy Meal".
    But apparently some people are so freaked out by the recent anthrax
    attacks that their critical faculties are slightly disengaged.  So,
    for the record, here are a couple of debunkings:
