Terrorist Abu Musab Zarqawi recently made headlines again by releasing of a video of an American being executed.

Patriot Act Suppresses News Of Challenge to Patriot Act. nuff said. [link]

NPR's lawyers believe that the FCC's new "zero tolerance" rule prevents use of the word "suck." And the cable companies rub their hands together with glee.

The U.S. service person death toll in the latest Iraq war has totalled 700.
