Clinton Needs 181% of Remaining Delegates
By David Swanson
Pledged delegates are awarded by voters and caucus goers. Super-delegates are antidemocratic Party control freaks who have no business deciding anything. Of pledged delegates, now that Oregon and Kentucky have had their say, Senator Obama has 1,648 and Senator Clinton 1,493. There are 86 pledged delegates remaining to be awarded in Puerto Rico, Montana, and South Dakota. This means that Clinton can still pull it out if she picks up 181 percent of the remaining delegates.

New NSA Whistleblower Tells of Faulty WMD Evidence
David Murfee Faulk was a translator in the Navy, working in Arabic and Iraqi dialect. In April 2004 he began working for the National Security Agency (NSA) at Fort Gordon outside Augusta, Georgia. (He now writes, under the name Murfee Faulk, for the Metro Spirit newspaper in Augusta, but he has never written about what he did for the NSA.)
Faulk says that in May 2004 he found an extremely large text file containing grid coordinates for alleged chemical weapons sites in Iraq. Faulk showed it

U of Virginia Does Iraq
By David Swanson
As an alumnus of the University of Virginia, I receive its magazine in the mail, a magazine that always makes me question how I can have received as good an education at UVA as I think I did, when the people who produce this magazine seem not to have received the same. The Summer 2008 issue contains an article called “Stories from Iraq”, which contains not a single story of a single Iraqi, coincidentally

Georgia On My Mind
By David Swanson
Georgia’s 13th District consists of the western and southern suburbs and exurbs of Atlanta, and it is currently misrepresented by David Scott, a Democrat and a member of the Congressional Black Caucus who opposes impeaching Bush or Cheney and just voted Yes in the House’s failed attempt to put our grandchildren into debt for another $165 billion for occupying Iraq.
Georgia State Senator Donzella James is challenging Scott in the July 15th Primary. Her campaign tells

Cindy Sheehan to Speak in Charlottesville VA
Sheehan to speak at Omni
By Erika Howsare, Cville Weekly
Peace activist Cindy Sheehan will speak in Charlottesville on May 22. She was in town almost exactly two years ago, speaking against the war in Iraq and about the death of her son there, and stopped here again last July for a rally in support of the impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney.
At that last appearance, Sheehan was talking about running for Congress in California’s Eighth District if the incumbent there, House Speaker Nancy

Mission Accomplished Or How We Won the War in Iraq
By David Swanson
That’s the title of a new book by Christopher Cerf and Victor Navasky. It’s actually just a collection of the familiar quotes by Bush, Cheney, and gang, plus Democrats, plus pundits, all lying about Iraq before and during the occupation. It’s mostly not a funny collection, but it’s sort-of packaged as one and it’s probably funnier than that truly dumb “The Young Dick Cheney” book that Alternet has promoted in a few hundred Emails. But
