The unit the Pentagon assigned to NorthCom is the 3rd Infantry, First Brigade Combat Team, which has spent three of the last five years in Iraq.

COLUMBUS, OH -- Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the son of a Teamster truck driver and the oldest child in a paycheck-to-paycheck family of seven children, brought his life's experiences   more...and his legislative record to an AFL-CIO town hall meeting in Columbus (OH) today and told his union brothers and sisters, "This campaign is about jobs. It's about jobs. And it's about jobs."

"It's the workers of this country who are going to determine who the president is going to be," the Cleveland Congressman told the cheering crowd. And that next President, he said, must be committed to creating new jobs, making health care available to all Americans, securing workers' rights and pension rights, and improving education for the next generation of American workers.

Introduced as "Ohio's favorite son," Kucinich, the only card-carrying union member in the Democratic field, had the audience on its feet several times. He vowed to cancel the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which has resulted in the out-sourcing of millions of American jobs. He promised a national, not-for-profit health insurance system that would cover all Americans. He pledged that the Justice Department and the Labor Department would enforce workers' rights, especially the right to organize.

His deep and sincere commitment to those issues and his legislative record separate him from the other Democratic candidates, Kucinich said.

"Do you think I could stand up here and talk like this if I was owned by Wall Street," Kucinich asked? "I'm someone who can not be bought. I'm someone who can not be bossed. I'm someone who can not be intimidated."

On health care, he said the other candidates "get too much money from the insurance companies, they can't break the hold." On foreign trade, other candidates are proposing to "fix" trade agreements, instead of scrapping them, and those promises are "weasel-wording" what they really plan to do: "nothing."

In a poignant story taken from his early years as a newspaper copyboy in Cleveland, Kucinich's eyes welled with tears, as did many in the audience, when he told of going to the homes of families to pick up photographs of their children who had died in the war in Vietnam. In vivid, emotional detail, he described their modest, working-class homes "and their hands...rough hands...like they had been working their whole lives...and just barely making it." He used the story to illustrate the personal impact that wars on the other side of the world have on families in Ohio and across the country. The war in Iraq, he said, must be brought to an end and America's service men and women must be brought home as soon as possible.

"You're looking at the only candidate to vote against the war and all of the appropriations" since, Kucinich said.

He added, "Ohio has the chance to be heard and change the election." As an Ohioan, "one of you," Kucinich said, "I'll never forget where I came from."

President Bush has signed into law a controversial bill that creates harsher penalties for violations of intellectual property law. The Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property   more...Act, or PRO-IP Act, was introduced by Vermont Democrat Senator Patrick Leahy, and Pennsylvania Republican Arlen Spector. In addition to stiffer penalties, the PRO-IP Act establishes the Cabinet-level position of IP Czar, and gives the Department of Justice more power to coordinate federal and state efforts against counterfeiting and piracy. Critics believe the Act goes well beyond what is necessary to protect artists’ rights. "Big media already have enough tools and penalties on the books and we don't need any more," said Art Brodsky of the D.C.-based public interest group Public Knowledge. Brodsky pointed out that a single mother of two in Minnesota was charged with a $220,000 fine for allegedly downloading protected media files. The law requires the DOJ to seek both criminal and civil penalties against alleged illegal downloaders. The DOJ has complained that they do not want to serve as a collection agency for the entertainment industry, and that copyright holders should pursue their own civil claims.  less

Department of State Ideal 100 Employer Profile, from CareerTV!

King's July 31 interview of Vice President Cheney dealt mostly with a number of political topics. A sample of the questions from the interview:

How do you deal with it when public opinion polls are stridently   more...against the [Iraq] policy?

But in all cases, they did question themselves. In all cases, they said, well, let's look at it this way. Don't you? I mean the question is, don't you ever say, maybe I'm wrong?

In retrospect, you would still go into Iraq?

Does it pain you when Brent Scowcroft says this is not the Dick Cheney I knew?

Wouldn't you like to be liked?

OK, let's go back. On this program, May of 2005, you said the Iraqi insurgency was in the last throes. Why were you wrong?

In that same interview, you said that the Iraqis were well on their way to being able to defend themselves. Why not? Why are they gone?

To which branch of government do you belong? Are you executive or legislative, or both? We were a little confused over recent statements that you're not in either.

We have an op-ed piece by Walter Mondale, a former vice president, who held your job. And at that time, I guess, up to that time, he would be considered the most powerful vice president. He wrote that: "After 9/11, Cheney set out to create a largely independent power center in the Office of the Vice President. It was an unprecedented attempt not only to shape administration policy, but, alarmingly, to limit the policy options sent to the president."He also accused you of having "a near total aversion to the notion of accountability." How would you respond to that?

Don't you think this administration has also had its credibility problems?

Alberto Gonzales. Do you stand by him?

You're going to stand by him? No doubt about that?

In that regard, "The New York Times," which is -- as you said, it's not your favorite paper, reports it was you who dispatched Gonzales and Andy Card to then Attorney General John Ashcroft's hospital in 2004 to push Ashcroft to certify the president's intelligence gathering program. Was it you?

The "Scooter" Libby trial, did it pain you?

The Senate Judiciary Committee is subpoenaing Karl Rove in connection with the firing of federal prosecutors. Why shouldn't he appear?

But the public might say, what have you got to hide?

So he -- so he [Rove] will not appear?

General Powell says he would close Guantanamo yesterday. Would you?

You have to torture them when they're there?

How come in the past though there's been a question on that?

Have you ever said, "We support certain methods of physical harm"?

What is "enhanced" [referring to Cheney's line 'We support the ability of certain agencies of the federal government to have the capacity to use enhanced techniques for interrogation']?  less
