   Italian magistrates have placed a U.S. marine under official investigation for murder over the killing of an Italian agent in Iraq earlier this year, judicial sources said on Thursday.

   Intelligence officer Nicola Calipari was shot dead at an improvised U.S. checkpoint on a road near Baghdad in March as he was accompanying an Italian hostage to safety.

   Italy and the United States held a joint inquiry into the incident, but they failed to agree joint conclusions and instead issued conflicting reports…

    Light A Candle For
    Peace, Tolerance, Understanding
    and For The Children – Innocence Lost!

    Cindy Sheehan | Language of the Heart

    Cindy Sheehan writes that we need to learn a new language of peace and love that we can speak – even shout – to our leaders, who only understand the language of greed and murder.

    Ten things you can do for peace this holiday season

    1. Call or write to your congressional representative.
    2. Write letters to the editor and send them to your local paper. Call radio talk shows and attend public forums and tell others what you think.
    3. Encourage young people and children to express their opinions and feelings about a better world, especially through art.
    4. Support public witness. Organize a vigil for peace with faith-based or other groups in your community.
    5. Learn all you can about the Islamic faith, particularly the dimension of Islam supporting peace and nonviolence.
    6. Commit to work against violence aimed at others because of race, creed, color, gender, religion, or nation of origin.
    7. Learn about those countries which Western governments hold accountable for terrorist acts. Knowing the history, geography, accomplishments, and problems facing countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq will help us hold up the peaceful majorities that live in these countries.
    8. Hold the media accountable for biased reporting by calling a local media outlet if you see evidence of unfair or slanted reporting.
    9. Insist on maintaining and defending civil liberties. Working in your communities to use and protect these rights will guarantee that terrorism has not destroyed the fabric of liberty.
    10. Educate yourself on alternatives to war.

    Impeach The Son Of A Bitch

    [Which, by the way is the name of the site, as you’ll see when visiting]

    Times don’t get more serious than this; it is time for the most serious of measures.

    Every American generation has a moment when it is called upon to do its part to preserve the freedom and higher values of our country. This is our moment.
    In the coming weeks and months you will be asked to send e-mails and automatic letters to your Members of Congress to advance the impeachment of the President and Vice President. The resulting flood will not be very effective, compared to the one effective thing you CAN do:

    Write a real letter to both of your U.S.Senators, and to the U.S. House Member representing your district.

    Yes, actually obtain paper, envelope, stamps and a pen and do it, even if you have never done it before. You don’t have to make a midnight ride across Massachusetts on a horse; you don’t have to take a position behind a split-rail fence with your old musket; you don’t have to stand on a scaffold and be brave for your country. But you do have to take action, and this is no time for the e-mail soldier or the mass-mail patriot. A handwritten or printed letter with your signature on it, taking its place on a pile of similar real letters from voters back home, is the one thing you must do if you really care. Then, you must make a phone call to that office to reinforce your impact.

    Use your Zip Code to find the local addresses and phone numbers of your Members of Congress at the following link. Don’t use the site to send your message, however, as your personally-mailed letter is worth hundreds of such automatically-processed letters because it indicates the intensity of your feelings. Just copy down the local address and phone number for each of your Members of Congress (click on their pictures for that info):

    Find your Members of Congress addresses here

    What to say in your letter? You don’t need to be told what to say. It’s already in your heart and mind, so just say it, and clearly demand impeachment.
    The U.S. House begins the process through hearings and the adoption of a bill of impeachment. The Senate hears the case. But both Senate and House members need to hear from us now. They need to know that we have no further use for them if they will not stand up for the rule of law and the Constitution they swore to uphold.
    Isn’t it odd that a fellow can provide such poor administrative leadership that we lose part of New York and a big part of New Orleans, he can get away with leading a nation to war on falsified evidence resulting in the death of thousands of our young soldiers and tens of thousands of people abroad, he can get away with rigging elections and he can get away with destroying the environmental protections for our air and water and wild places, and he can get away with putting people in jail indefinitely without recourse to lawyers or fair judges, and he can get away with reneging on the Geneva Convention and actually torturing people in secret prisons–all of that–and still survive politically, but he can’t get away with admitting to a little old felony back home. It will be like sending Capone up for tax evasion, but if that’ll work, let’s do it. We owe this to ourselves, our children, and the people of the world. Oh, that the Germans in the 1930s were as resolute in standing up for their higher values as we must do now!

    Pass this along to your fellow Americans and friends.
