"At Jenin, a military forced visited collective punishment on unarmed civilians and poorly armed resistance fighters. It was a massacre, yet the predominant opinion is that it wasn’t—the Jenin massacre is a myth, a non-massacre, journalistic hysteria."

"...when the same kind of evidence suggests Bin Laden was planning a sequel to the first failed attempt to destroy the Twin Towers, Rice and Bush want us to believe that Bin Laden's threats were meaningless and only important in the light of 20-20 hindsight."

"Bush’s success in lying to the nation and the world about the “imminent threat” and “mushroom clouds” of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction depended on manipulating the greatest invention of the twentieth century – Advertising - the modern weapon of “thought” control, ever inflicted on an uninformed and self-absorbed American populace (and world). From egregious well documented lies, to a cowboy mentality that made Truth, Justice, International Law and the United Nations “irrelevant” and subservient to the “American Way”."

"Year after year, of course, the White House and the editorialists insisted that complete withdrawal of GIs from Vietnam was an irresponsible notion, a bumper-sticker idea lacking in realism. But withdrawal had to happen. Sooner, with fewer deaths and less suffering? Or later?"

Instead of biting on Sharon's bait and sidelining their peace initiative, the Arab League meeting in Tunis ought to take the difficult, but politically courageous decision and press forward."

"People in positions of enormous power are never more dangerous than when they see their power seriously threatened."

"My criticism is not wrong, nor is it a case of my being overly sensitive or partisan. It is based on my awareness of the impact that negative stereotyping has had on Arab Americans and my concern that it is now being reinforced by a group acting on behalf of the President of the United States."
