BIG BROTHER WATCH: ILLINOIS launches compulsory mental health screening for children and pregnant women

"The American tradition of parents deciding what is best for their children is, yet again, under attack.  The pharmaceutical industry has convinced President Bush to support mandatory mental-health screening for every child in America, including preschool children, and the industry is now working to convince Congress as well.  But mandatory screening alone is not what the pharmaceutical industry wants.  The real payoff for the drug companies is the forced drugging of children that will result – as we learned tragically with Ritalin – even when parents refuse."

And for all of us protesters, we should all go to the Republican National Convention. If for no other reason than to get a taste of what it will be like to protest in America under another four years of Bush in the Whitehouse.

Bush: Saddam and al-Qaida were linked
June 17: The US president, George Bush, today insisted that there were links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, a day after an independent commission announced that Iraq was not involved in the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.

On the morning of May 30, two members of the Critical Art Ensemble were subpoenaed by the FBI on their way to the "Interventionists" art show in which their work appears. The FBI, we now know, will seek to indict Steve Kurtz before a grand jury in Buffalo, NY on June 15 on charges related to "bioweapons." Incredible as this may sound, it is true.

Robert B. Reich | The Last Word

"Musings about a second Bush term typically assume another four years of the same right-wing policies we've had to date. But it'd likely be far worse. So far, the Bush administration has had to govern with the expectation of facing American voters again in 2004. But suppose George W. Bush wins a second term. The constraint of a re-election contest will be gone. Knowing that voters can no longer turn them out, and that this will be their last shot at remaking America, the radical conservatives will be unleashed."
