Two pieces of unrelated good news

it's so nice to occasionally see some positive stuff... lord knows, we need it...

1) five former joint chiefs of staff of the united states military have stepped forward to oppose bush's plan to redefine common article 3 of the geneva conventions...

  • former Secretary of State and Gen. Colin Powell
  • Gen. John Vessey
  • Gen. John Shalikashvili
  • Admiral William Crowe
  • Gen. Hugh Shelton
2) maybe we can keep our national forests from being overrun...
A federal judge has restored the “Roadless Rule,” a ban on road construction in nearly one-third of national forests (58.5 million acres in 38 states and Puerto Rico). President Bush overturned the rule, established by President Clinton, in favor of much looser policy of requiring state governors to petition for federal forest protection.
