...Staff Sergeant Richard Bear [Nov. 17]. But it would be misleading to believe the two have equally valid goals and beliefs. That would be like equating the American liberators of concentration camps with the Nazi murderers who created them. Ahmed was a commando in the Fedayeen Saddam militia before the war. There can be no true similarity between a supporter of Saddam Hussein's and a soldier in the U.S. Army.

Sentenced to 10 years in jail by a Jakarta court for his part...
...public health care as I have in the animal-rights movement," she says. The most serious illegal actions against people and property - including the "liberation" of animals from breeding farms - are carried out anonymously, often under such flags of convenience as the Animal Liberation Front, the Animal Rights Militia or the Justice Department. Colin Blakemore, a professor of physiology at the University of Oxford whose medical research has relied on animal tests, was among several scientists threatened with assassination several years ago.
