[Reader-list] Public Enemy vs Arizona: Sonic Immigration

[Paul D. Miller]

Let's see who is making excuses for Islamic terrorism:

Bush - whose cozy relationship with te Bin Laden family and Saudi  
Monarchy set the stage for several of the major developments leading  
to 9/11

Or Halliburton/Dick Cheney who do major oil contract work for Saudi  
companies and even violate US sanctions on Iran?

The right wing always has selective amnesia...
