My friends,
Did you know... one reason we can't tell what's happening in this war is that the Pentagon has bought exclusive rights to civilian satellite images of Afghanistan. Here's the story from Reporters Sans Frontieres:

Osama for the record... His warning to the west--here's the text and streaming video of Bin Laden's statement courtesy of the BBC:

Quesions and answers... Z Magazine's talking points about the Sept. 11 attacks, including Who Did It, Why Us, and Who is Osama Bin Laden:

Arundhati again... Z Mag also carries another good Arundhati Roy article:

Feeling guilty about Palestine... I am a Jew, and very concerned about the plight of the Palestinians. So I was interested to run across the Not In My Name website, by Jews who deplore the brutality against the Palestinian people:
Who did it... Maybe it was Bin Laden; I can't tell. This seems thin to me but here is--the UK Prime Minister's compilation of the evidence against Bin Laden:

I think it's critical at these times to get alternative viewpoints, and so I send you these things for your consideration. Send me anything you think would be useful too.
If you don't want these updates, tell me and I'll take you out of my mailing list. And of course, pass it on if you think it's good.
Peace be upon you,
Andy
