http://www.truthout.org/article/canada-de****ts-us-soldier
The Associated Press re****ts: "A U.S. Army deserter who fled to Canada
three
years ago was de****ted Tuesday to America, marking the first time a
resister
to the U.S war effort in Iraq has been removed by Canadian authorities....
Long fled to Canada in 2005 to avoid serving in Iraq. He sought refuge in
Canada on the grounds that the U.S. Army wanted him to participate in what
he
called an 'illegal war of aggression in Iraq.'"

http://www.truthout.org/article/on-medicare-congress-hands-bush-third-override-presidency
Drew Armstrong re****ts for Congressional Quarterly: "Congress sent
President
Bush one of the strongest rebukes of his administration Tuesday,
overturning
his veto of a Medicare bill by a substantial margin in both chambers. The
override marked a victory in a long ideological battle between Bush and
congressional Democrats, largely over private Medicare plans known as
Medicare
Advantage. The legislation cuts those plans substantially."
Fourth Circuit Backs Bush on Detentions
http://www.truthout.org/article/4th-circuit-backs-bush-detentions
According to Adam Liptak, of The New York Times: "President Bush has the
legal
power to order the indefinite military detentions of civilians captured in
the
United States, the federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., ruled on
Tuesday in
a fractured 5-to-4 decision. But a second, overlapping 5-to-4 majority of
the
court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, ruled
that
Ali al-Marri, a citizen of Qatar now in military custody in Charleston,
SC,
must be given an additional op****tunity to challenge his detention in
federal
court there."
J. Sri Raman | Deadlines and Democracy
http://www.truthout.org/article/deadlines-and-democracy
Truthout contributor J. Sri Raman writes: "Even as China prepares to host
the
Olympic Games, four countries of South Asia are engaged in a political
race
against time that may prove more breathtakingly frenetic than any
forthcoming
event in Beijing's state-of-art stadia."
