Racial woes: GOP fails to recruit minorities — Just a few years after the Republican Party launched a highly publicized diversity effort, the GOP is heading into the 2008 election without a single minority candidate with a plausible chance of winning a campaign for the House, the Senate or governor.
Lieberman Calls on Google to Take Down 'Terrorist' Content Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, R-Israel, Monday called on Google to remove Internet video content produced by terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda [al-CIAduh]. In a letter sent to Dr. Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO of Google, Inc., LieberBush wrote: "Today, Islamist terrorist organizations rely extensively on the Internet to attract supporters and advance their cause... Islamist terrorist organizations use YouTube to disseminate their propaganda, enlist followers, and provide weapons training – activities that are all essential to terrorist activity."
YouTube refuses Lieberman request -- The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee today [Joe LieberBush] asked Google, the parent company of the popular online video-sharing site, YouTube, to "immediately remove content produced by Islamist terrorist organizations" from YouTube and prevent similar content from reappearing. However, the company immediately refused to comply with his request. "While we respect and understand his views, YouTube encourages free speech and defends everyone's right to express unpopular points of view," the company said.

AP: Thousands Killed in 1950 by US's Korean Ally --At least 100,000 said executed by US's Korean ally in 1950 summer of terror Grave by mass grave, South Korea is unearthing the skeletons and buried truths of a cold-blooded slaughter from early in the Korean War, when this nation's U.S.-backed regime killed untold thousands of leftists and hapless peasants in a summer of terror in 1950. With U.S. military officers sometimes present, and as North Korean invaders pushed down the peninsula, the southern army and police emptied South Korean prisons, lined up detainees and shot them in the head [as in Iraq], dumping the bodies into hastily dug trenches. Others were thrown into abandoned mines or into the sea. Women and children were among those killed. Many victims never faced charges or trial. The mass executions -- intended to keep possible southern leftists from reinforcing the northerners -- were carried out over mere weeks and were largely hidden from history for a half-century .
