Doug Ross @ Journal — ... And where stand the anti-war Democrats ? ANSWER? Code Pink? Democracy Now? Peace Action? Stop the War Coalition? Indymedia? NoWar? Did you hear those crickets? T here is a country utterly destroying the environment, ...

Moral Authority
Stones Cry Out — ... As blogger TigerHawk notes, though, they may not ever make that argument because they won’t have much of anything to say.  After checking off the many groups that have nothing to say about it (and crediting the one that did), he concludes: ...
