Today on Flashpoints:
Palestinians in Gaza live in constant terror of Israeli sonic
boom attacks; new draconian legislation passes the House that
represents the Patriot Act on steroids for immigrants; also,
the DEA takes its road show to San Francisco, again violating
the people’s will to make medicinal marijuana safe and
legal; right-wing Congress sneaks a rider onto the Katrina
Aid bill that almost guarantees a renewal in the drilling
of the Arctic Refuge; and the Knight Report;
5:01 PM PST
The Knight Report: Senator Barbara Boxer launches a prolegomenon
for the impeachment of President George W. Bush; Senator Jay
Rockefeller produces a smoking letter that refutes Administration
claims of Congressional support for military spying on American
citizens; and, the new White House enemies list now includes
environmentalists, trade liberationists, pacifists, zoophiles,
and anti-carnivores, all of whom are the targets of FBI surveillance.
