Here are some more URL's, including several items about the election recount and denunciation of war dissidents in addition to the usual topics covered here. You'll notice that I'm only carrying a few scraps about the war, except for the civil liberties issues that I'm still following closely. For the moment I'm seeing little of importance that's not being reporting the mainstream media. Thanks to everyone who contributed.
