Here are some more URL's. Thanks to everyone who contributed. RRE home page: http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/rre.html My last set of URL's included this: Saudi Government Daily: Jews Use Teenagers' Blood for "Purim" Pastries (among other things -- scroll down) http://memri.org/news.html#1016041265c In response, one distraught individual accused me of endorsing the Saudi claim. In case anyone else is unclear on the concept, I realize that the Jews do not ritually kill children to use their blood in making bread. I sent out the link because I found it noteworthy that (at least according to MEMRI) the Saudi press prints such things. I do try to annotate dubious links such as conspiracy sites that a rational person might mistakenly take seriously. But I don't want to insult my readers' intelligence by warning them against ideas that are obviously insane. Nobody who is inclined to believe such things is going to be dissuaded by any warnings from me. war Afghan Camps Turn Out Holy War Guerillas and Terrorists (lengthy survey of their curriculum -- not good) http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/18/international/asia/18DOCU.html?pagewanted=print Old-Fashioned Hide-Outs Fuel High-Tech Weaponry http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-000019557mar17.story Europe Takes War on Al Qaeda to Courtrooms http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-000019552mar17.story Nature of Threat in Georgia Gorge a Matter of Dispute http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-000020086mar19.story Stability, America's Enemy http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/01winter/peters.htm Pipeline Politics Taint US War http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/oped/chi-0203180046mar18.story "...
