White House to Enforce Abortion-Fetus Law Sat Apr 23,12:47 AM ET White House - AP
By KEVIN FREKING, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - The Bush administration said Friday that it would
enforce a nearly 3-year-old federal law that requires doctors to attempt to keep alive a fetus that survives an abortion.
In making the announcement, the Department of Health and Human Services Department said it was an attempt to educate the public about the little-known law.
Officials said they didn't know how often a fetus survives an abortion and would not say whether there have been any complaints about a lack of enforcement.

2 Evangelicals Want to Strip Courts' Funds[

"2 Evangelicals Want to Strip Courts' Funds"? Is 2 lonely nutty evangelicals

WASHINGTON —
Evangelical Christian leaders, who have been
working closely with senior Republican lawmakers to place conservative judges in the federal courts, have also been exploring ways to
punish sitting jurists and even entire courts viewed as hostile to their cause.
An
audio recording obtained by the Los Angeles Times features two of the nation's most influential evangelical leaders, at a private conference with supporters,
laying out strategies to rein in judges, such as stripping funding from their courts in an effort to hinder their work.
The discussion took place during a Washington conference last month that
included addresses by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who discussed efforts to bring a more conservative cast to the courts.
Frist and DeLay have not publicly endorsed the evangelical groups' proposed actions. But the taped discussion among evangelical leaders provides a glimpse of the
road map they are drafting as they work with congressional Republicans
to achieve a judiciary that sides with them on abortion, same-sex marriage and other elements of their agenda.
(...)
"We set up the courts. We can unset the courts. We have the power of the purse," DeLay said at an April 13 question-and-answer session with reporters.

"Very few people know this, that the Congress can simply disenfranchise a court," Dobson said. "They don't have to fire anybody or impeach them or go through that battle.
All they have to do is say the 9th Circuit doesn't exist anymore, and it's gone." (...)

Roadside Bomb Kills 9 Iraqi Soldiers 6 minutes ago Middle East - AP
By THOMAS WAGNER, Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A string of
explosions rocked the Iraqi capital and other parts of the country Saturday, including a roadside bomb that exploded near an Iraqi army convoy on the outskirts of Baghdad,
killing nine soldiers and wounded 20, police said.
When the
surviving soldiers responded by opening fire, they
shot and killed the driver of a civilian car, said police Lt. Ahmed Abud.
The
attack occurred near the notorious Abu Ghraib prison, which was at the center of a prison abuse scandal last year after
photographs were publicized showing U.S. soldiers humiliating Iraqi inmates.

Chairman of Voting Reform Panel Resigns Fri Apr 22, 5:02 PM ET Politics - AP

All four of us had to work without staff, without offices, without resources. I don't think our sense of personal obligation has been matched by a corresponding sense of commitment to real reform from the federal government," he said.

by NICHOLAS LEMANN
Why is everyone mad at the mainstream media?Issue of 2005-02-14 and 21
Posted 2005-02-07
Just before last fall’s Presidential election, Bill Keller, the executive editor of the Times, and Philip Taubman, the paper’s Washington bureau chief, went on the road to inspect the candidates’ campaigns.
In Florida, on October 22nd, they arranged to have drinks with Karl Rove, the White House’s chief political strategist, and Dan Bartlett, its head of communications. It was supposed to be a friendly get-together, and that’s how it went for the first few minutes, until
Keller asked Rove what he thought of the Times’ coverage. It’s the sort of question that editors often ask important people, in the same spirit that a politician asks, “How’m I doing?,” usually hoping for an answer somewhere in the lower-middle range of politeness and candor.
But Rove, Keller told me not long ago, “pounded on us for two cocktails’ worth of conversation.” Saying what? “It was three kinds of things,” Keller explained. “It was Bush accomplishments we had ignored, flaws in the Kerry record that we had put inside the paper, and
a number of pieces we had done looking hard at the Bush record. In their view, that all amounted to arming the Kerry campaign.”
Keller and I were talking in his office in the Times newsroom at nine one morning, a moment when most newspaper offices are empty and expectantly quiet, like a theatre a couple of hours before the curtain.
Keller took his time describing the conversation, to suggest that he wasn’t dismissing the criticisms out of hand. “Your initial reaction, especially in someone as ferocious as Rove, is to drop into a defensive crouch,” he said. “But I try not to do that. I listened, with a fair measure of skepticism, because a lot of it is calculated. But there was some genuineness to it. He went through a long litany of complaints.
I do think he was channelling a feeling about the New York Times that’s out there in the land, that we should be concerned about, or at least aware of.” One item that particularly drew Rove’s ire was a Times front-page story, by Ford Fessenden, which appeared on September 26th, under the headline
“a big increase of new voters in swing states.” As Keller remembered it later, in an e-mail message to me,
Rove “fired off complaints like a Gatling gun, some specific, some generic, some about specific writers, some about specific elements of specific stories.” When I spoke to Rove about his conversation with Keller, it was obvious that, to his mind, the September 26th story was No. 1 among the Times’ journalistic misdeeds during the campaign. The story left the impression that the Democrats’ organization was vastly superior to the Republicans’, especially in Florida and Ohio.
Getting out the G.O.P. vote in those two states had for several years been one of Rove’s main projects, and he spoke about the article in roughly the same tone as a writer discussing a bad review of his magnum opus.
He gave me a highly detailed, twelve-point critique, and then, in the interest of conciseness, he boiled down the twelve points to two or three.(...)
A better understanding of conservatives seems manageable, but there is another possibility, which is much more worrisome, at least to journalists who work in the mainstream media. It is that during the
years of heavy shelling—through impeachment and the Florida recount and then the rough 2004 campaign—what they consider
their compact with the public has been seriously damaged. Journalism that is inquisitive and intellectually honest, that surprises and unsettles, didn’t always exist. There is no law saying that it must exist forever, and there are political and business interests that would be better off if it didn’t exist and that have worked hard to undermine it.
This is what journalists in the mainstream media are starting to worry about: what if people don’t believe in us, don’t want us, anymore? SOURCE - http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?050214fa_fact1
