The past few weeks the news media has been fixated on discussions of efforts by Democrats to either impeach or censure President Bush. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., has made the push to censure President Bush for the administration's wiretapping of suspected terrorists.

AS the governments of Cuba and Venezuela continue to cope with enormous destabilising politics from the George Bush administration, it may be useful for those who insist on defending US foreign policy in our Caribbean to read what former President Jimmy Carter has to say.

Joseph Lowry in which he raised the issue of weapons of mass destruction in the Coretta Scott King funeral, then talked about how not enough money is going to the poor.
