I didn't even notice the Birch link, though I did catch the prominent demand that we retake the Panama Canal. Either way, we were forewarned, quickly enough. The best place I've found for a quick world news review is the International Herald Tribune website (www.iht.com), which is not a "non-US source" per se, but is published for an international audience and maintains a fair degree of perspective and a pretty solid separation between news and editorializing. Both The Economist and The Far East Economic Review (more of a general news source than the name would suggest) provide solid non-US perspectives, as do the world news pages of many English newspapers outside the US - I often look at the Irish Times and the Sydney Morning Herald. Most of the ones I look at are European or Asian, it would be interesting to find a good English-language site in Latin America and one in Africa, for all-around views.... <edit> In case anyone's interested, a link to the Sydney Morning Herald's Elian page: smh.com.au

>>I was forewarned when there was a big link to the John Birch Society on the home page of The New American. << I belong to a group that advocates constructing all restrooms out of wood. It's called the Birch John Society.

The John Birch link was an advertisement. I see they are "affilated" with each other though. Not sure exactly what that means. Most of the time it means they have agreed to promote one another's site. Such as the partnership SI has with the brokerage firm. Michael

It's interesting to see so many people dismiss those articles with a simple.."it's biased" sleight of hand without explaining what in the article is biased. I just re-read both the articles I posted from the thenewamerican.com site and I thought they provided a thought provoking analysis of the situation with regard to the law and actions taken by our government. Doesn't it give you pause when a close friend of Bill Clintons, such as Alan Dersherwitz, goes on the record describing the raid as "illegal"? Michael
