Because the mass media focuses on the personalities of political figures rather than their substance, it helps makes possible the election of incompetents such as George Bush, an authority on constitutional law says. What will such a focus mean for the 2008 election cycle?

According to Glenn Greenwald, in the eyes of the media George W. Bush was the more "likable" candidate and was the victor of a "very small minded personality war" during the 2000 campaign in which the mainstream media focused on a candidate's personality instead of more substantial issues like competency and experience. Glenn Greenwald's remarks came in an interview with Dean Lawrence R. Velvel of the Massachusetts School of Law on the radio program What the Media Doesn't Tell You. Greenwald is a former constitutional lawyer who is now a columnist and blogger on politics and the media for Salon.com. The focus of the program is on how George Bush became the Republican candidate in 2000. In addition, Greenwald has just written a book titled A Tragic Legacy that details the disaster that has become the presidency of George Bush. The show will be aired over World Radio Network on Sirius Channel 140 on both Saturday (June 30) and Sunday (July 1) at 11 a.m. Eastern time.

Any Americans finding themselves in Leuven, Belgium yesterday might be excused for thinking they'd been time-warped back to a demonstration in the 1960s U.S.

Last Monday, the police entered an abandoned house in Leuven, Belgium, that anarchist squatters had occupied for seven years. None of the squatters were present at the time, mostly due to exams. The premise was evacuated and the police dumped everything inside in containers. The house, which the squatters had baptised Villa Squattus Dei, belongs to the Catholic organisation Opus Dei.

Pilots for 9/11 Truth obtained black box data from the government under the Freedom of Information Act for AA Flight 77, which The 9/11 Report claims hit the Pentagon. Analysis of the data contradicts the official account in direction, approach, and altitude. The plane was too high to hit lamp posts and would have flown over the Pentagon, not impacted with its ground floor. This result confirms and strengthens the previous findings of Scholars for 9/11 Truth that no Boeing 757 hit the buillding.

A study of the black box data provided by the government to Pilots for 9/11 Truth has confirmed the previous findings of Scholars for 9/11 Truth that no Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon on 9/11. "We have had four lines of proof that no Boeing 757 hit the building," said James Fetzer, founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth. "This new study by Pilots drives another nail into a coffin of lies told the American people by The 9/11 Commission."
