The New York Times -- John Kerry's Journey: A Fast Finisher's Reputation Now Faces the Ultimate Test
Topic: Current Events 10:58 am EDT, Sep 29, 2004

] As Mr. Kerry approaches this campaign's home stretch,
] with the first debate tomorrow night, there is much in
] his past to suggest that he believes elections are won in
] the endgame, that he holds back on purpose and begins
] concentrating intently on the race only when he believes
] the voters are, too. It remains to be seen whether an
] approach that has worked in Mr. Kerry's liberal home
] state or with Democratic primary voters eager to anoint a
] consensus candidate will be effective in a national
] election, but Mr. Kerry has little choice but to perform
] at his peak now.

Yahoo! News - Cat Stevens deportation linked to spelling error
Topic: Current Events 9:04 am EDT, Sep 29, 2004

NEW YORK (AFP) - An incident this week in which former pop star Cat Stevens was deported from the United States to London as a "no-fly" terrorist risk was caused by a spelling error.

Stevens, 57, gave up his successful pop career in the late 1970s, taking the name Yusuf Islam and converting to Islam.

He had been travelling from London to Washington on Tuesday when his flight was diverted to Bangor, Maine, where he was detained on "national security grounds" and summarily put on a plane to London, according to US security officials.

Asa Hutchinson, the US Department of Homeland Security's under secretary for border and transportation security, refused to specify the allegations against Islam.

Time magazine, in its on-line edition, quoted aviation sources with access to the "no-fly" list as saying there is no entry on the list under the name "Yusuf Islam," but that there is a "Youssouf Islam" on the list. They said the incorrect name was added to the list this summer.

NEWS ANALYSIS / Record shows Bush shifting on Iraq war / President's rationale for the invasion continues to evolve
Topic: Current Events 8:57 am EDT, Sep 29, 2004

] Washington -- President Bush portrays his position on
] Iraq as steady and unwavering as he represents Sen. John
] Kerry's stance as ambiguous and vacillating.
]
] "Mixed signals are the wrong signals,'' Bush said last
] week during a campaign stop in Bangor, Maine. "I will
] continue to lead with clarity, and when I say something,
] I'll mean what I say.''
]
] Yet, heading into the first presidential debate Thursday,
] which will focus on foreign affairs, there is much in the
] public record to suggest that Bush's words on Iraq have
] evolved -- or, in the parlance his campaign often uses to
] describe Kerry, flip-flopped.
]
] An examination of more than 150 of Bush's speeches, radio
] addresses and responses to reporters' questions reveal a
] steady progression of language, mostly to reflect
] changing circumstances such as the failure to discover
] weapons of mass destruction, the lack of ties between
] Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network and the growing
] violence of Iraqi insurgents.

LA Times Editorial -- How Dare Kerry Speak Up
Topic: Current Events 9:54 am EDT, Sep 28, 2004

] Compared with Kerry, George W. Bush is a coward. This is
] not a reference to their respective activities during
] Vietnam. It refers to the current election campaign. Bush
] happily benefits from the slime his supporters are
] spreading but refuses to take responsibility for it or to
] call point-blank for it to stop. He got away with this
] when the prime mover was the shadowy Swift boats group.
] Will he get away with it when the accusers are his own
] vice president, high officials of his own administration
] (Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage) and members
] of Congress from his own party (House Speaker J. Dennis
] Hastert or Sen. Orrin Hatch)? The answer is yes: Based on
] recent experience, he probably will get away with it.
