WMR has learned from US and foreign intelligence sources that the B-52 transporting six stealth AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles, each armed with a W-80-1 nuclear warhead, on August 30, were destined for the Middle East via Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

However, elements of the Air Force, supported by US intelligence agency personnel, successfully revealed the ultimate destination of the nuclear weapons and the mission was aborted due to internal opposition within the Air Force and US Intelligence Community.

How to Believe in God: Six Easy Steps
1. First, you must want to believe in God.
2. Next, understand that believing in God in the absence of evidence is especially noble.
3. Then, realize that the human ability to believe in God in the absence of evidence might itself constitute evidence for the existence of God.
4. Now consider any need for further evidence (both in yourself and in others) to be a form of temptation, spiritually unhealthy, or a corruption of the intellect.
5. Refer to steps 2-4 as acts of “faith.”
6. Return to 2.

What transforms this film from an excellent action/suspense flick to a truly memorable film is that it succeeds in delivering a number of messages without being preachy or overly intellectual. The deepest dimensions of the current conflict between the terrorist Muslim world and western civilization are wonderfully delivered through brilliant, smart dialogue that reinforces the film's visual violence. That Americans can find friendship with citizens of a country like Saudi Arabia is also shown with remarkable controlled emotion that brings many viewers to tears. And the conflict between the Saudi government that is totally anti-democratic and the nation's terrorist and fundamentalist insurgents is also creatively portrayed. The burden of being a woman in an Arab country is also shown through the various insults that Garner's character experiences.

After the initial stunning scenes of the terrorist bombing, as the main character played by Foxx fights a bureaucratic battle in Washington, DC to get permission to go to Saudi Arabia to investigate the terrible terrorist event that has also killed an FBI agent and close friend, the dialogue among the FBI agents and between Foxx and high level federal officials is just perfect. The arrogance and stupidity that we expect of high level federal officials is quickly shown through wonderful dialogue. And every now and then there are some really funny lines throughout the film, making the moments of violence and suspense even more effective.

Republicans are playing us for fools.

Under one of those ginned-up names that God Herself couldn't fault -- Californians for Equal Representation -- they're pushing a crafty ballot initiative to change the way electoral votes are divvied up in California. Right now, it's winner-take-all. They go to the presidential candidate who gets the most votes, period.

If this "fairness" is so vital to our democracy, why not change the rules in Florida too? Or Texas, or Ohio? Oh yes -- they must be fair already. Their winner-take-all electoral votes went Republican. Under the California GOP "fairness" rule, Kerry would have taken 19 electoral votes that went to Bush in those states.

The Democratic leadership strategy of continuing to fund Bush's War in Iraq, and of keeping impeachment "off the table" -- that is, of avoiding a frontal challenge to the two key disasters of this administration, the war and the attack on democratic government and the Constitution -- is what threatens to hand the White House and maybe even both houses of Congress to Republicans next year.
