WHO WOULD JESUS VOTE FOR?
A secret email obtained by Village Voice shows that White House staffers, including the National Security Council's top Middle East aide (Eliott Abrams, remember him?) have been consulting with apocalyptic Christians eager to ensure American policy on Israel conforms with their sectarian doomsday scenarios.
These Christian fundamentalists claim to be 'the Christian Voice in the Nation's Capital'. The group vociferously opposes the idea of a Palestinian state. They fear an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza might enable just that, and they object on the grounds that all of Old Testament Israel belongs to the Jews. Until Israel is intact and Solomon's temple rebuilt, they believe, Christ won't come back to earth.

GREENPEACE WALKS
A Miami federal trial judge granted a judgment of acquittal to Greenpeace in the government's unprecedented prosecution of an advocacy organization for the nonviolent civil disobedience of its members. Greenpeace was indicted for the offense once known as sailor mongering, more specifically, for boarding a ship as it was "about to arrive at its destination" in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2279, and for conspiracy to violate that statute because its members boarded the ship to protest its cargo of unlawfully harvested mahogany.
