Aug 27, 2002	The New Battle of Chancellorsville QUOTE: Here, where thousands fell in one of the greatest battles ever fought on American soil, a new confrontation is shaping up over the fate of the battlefield....At stake is a portion of the battlefield where a developer wants to build a 788-acre ''new community'' complete with stores, restaurants, 2,350 homes and 2.4 million square feet of office space.	New York Times
Aug 06, 2002	The Memory Hole QUOTE: ...Mr. Bush claims to have laid out the criteria for running a deficit when visiting Chicago during the 2000 campaign. But there's no evidence that he said anything of the sort...	New York Times
Jul 03, 2002	Freedom of Information Under Attack QUOTE: Trauma from the worst civilian loss of life on American soil and the resultant "war on terrorism" without borders have all contributed to an historic assault on openness and the public's access to information by government officials at all levels.	Center for Public Integrity
Jun 20, 2002	Enter the Globocourt QUOTE: ...if dictators see reporters as potential witnesses in prosecutions, tyrants in trouble will be likely to kill those witnesses.	New York Times
May 19, 2002	A Singing Offense QUOTE: Honesty compels you to give the audience some sense of the original odious lyrics; discretion compels allusion rather than expression.	New York Times
May 05, 2002	An Eminence With No Shades of Gray: In a New Bestseller, Noam Chomsky Argues Against the War in Afghanistan QUOTE: To pick up the most powerful newspapers and intellectual magazines in the United States, to tune in the 463 television political babble-athons, is to conclude that Chomsky is invisible.	Washington Post
Nov 26, 2001	Kangaroo Courts QUOTE: The U.C.M.J. demands a public trial, proof beyond reasonable doubt, an accused's voice in the selection of juries and right to choose counsel, unanimity in death sentencing and above all appellate review by civilians confirmed by the Senate. Not one of those fundamental rights can be found in Bush's military order setting up kangaroo courts for people he designates before "trial" to be terrorists.	New York Times
Nov 07, 2001	Politics and Curriculum: How History is Taught QUOTE: The interplay of politics and curriculum is the subject of "Censoring History" (M. E. Sharpe, 2000), edited by Laura Hein and Mark Selden. The book recalls a slogan from Orwell's "1984": "Who controls the past controls the future." That is true not only of totalitarians; every nation tries to shape the future when it teaches history.	New York Times
Oct 12, 2001	Legal Self-Defense in Responses to Terrorism: Fairness.com Interview with Robert F. Turner QUOTE: Was the U.S. attack on Afghanistan and its Taliban leadership that began October 7, 2001 justified under U.S. and international law? Was it moral?	Fairness.com
Sep 23, 2001	Americans Don't Understand That Their Heritage is Itself a Threat QUOTE: We have heard a great deal of talk to the effect that the world will never be the same after the attacks of Sept. 11....Yet perhaps the most immediately pertinent of such precedents is offered by a much earlier conflict. In 1814, the United States was engaged in a bitter war, on land and at sea, with the greatest power in the world, the empire from which we had originally rebelled: Great Britain.	New York Times
Sep 12, 2001	The War with Jihadistan QUOTE: ...a force that despises all notions save its own, and is prepared to kill and destroy for the sake of killing and destroying. In this sense, Jihadistan has far less to do with Islam than with nihilism.	Washington Times
Sep 12, 2001	The Wickedness and Awesome Cruelty of a Crushed and Humiliated People QUOTE: ...the foundation of the state of Israel, four Arab-Israeli wars and the 34 years of Israel's brutal occupation of Arab land -- all erased within hours as those who claim to represent a crushed, humiliated population struck back with the wickedness and awesome cruelty of a doomed people.	Independent News (UK)
Aug 18, 2001	College Suspends Professor for Vietnam Fabrications QUOTE: Joseph J. Ellis...who admitted in June that he lied to his students and others when he said he had been a combat soldier in Vietnam, has been suspended for a year without pay by Mount Holyoke...	New York Times
Jul 10, 2001	Japan's Refusal to Revise Textbooks Angers Neighbors QUOTE: The Japanese government announced today that it would order no further revisions of school textbooks that many critics say whitewash the country's record of imperial-era atrocities in Asia.	New York Times
May 20, 2001	Latvians Can't Escape Cold War's Divisive Legacy QUOTE: The native Latvians tend to see the Soviet troops as invaders and the Latvian resistance as freedom fighters. Russian Latvians tend to see their military forebears as Latvia's saviors from Nazi rule and the native Latvians who resisted them as Nazi collaborators.	New York Times
