Candidate for Randy Cunningham's Seat Belongs to Group Supporting Bush's Initial Claims about WMDs in Iraq
Yochi J. Dreazen and John D. McKinnon
Television commercials sponsorede by conservative Republicans say newly found Iraqi documents show that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, including anthrax and mustard gas, and had "extensive ties" to al Qaeda. The hard-hitting spots are part of a public-relations barrage aimed at reversing a decline in public support for President Bush's handling of Iraq. These advertisements aren't paid for by the Republican National Committee or other established White House allies. They are sponsored by Move America Forward, a media- savvy outside advocacy group that has become one of the loudest -- and most controversial -- voices in the Iraq debate.

Obit: A Californian who made a difference: He said No to Internment
Matt Bai
In February 1942, a little more than two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which effectively decreed that West Coast residents of Japanese ancestry - whether American citizens or not - were now "enemy aliens." More than 100,000 Japanese-Americans reported to government staging areas, where they were processed and taken off to 10 internment camps. Years later, government lawyers offered Fred Korematsu a pardon; he refused. "As long as my record stands in federal court any American citizen can be held in prison or concentration camps without a trial or a hearing." The judge agreed, ruling from the bench that Korematsu had been innocent. Just like that, the legality of the internment was struck down forever.

California ballot initiatives: Maybe it's time to revive the indirect initiative
Daniel Weintraub

Around the world, farmers large and small are skeptical about their ability to survive in an increasingly competitive global economy.
