Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who was the best friend of real estate developers and landlords when she was mayor of San Francisco, has developed a high national profile in the Senate. She was on everyone's short list as a Democratic vice presidential candidate. But her record hasn't improved a bit: She's still pro-big business, and now she's pro-big military and pro-globalization. And she supports almost every repressive crime bill that comes before her. Her record on defense and foreign policy includes voting for the $1.7 billion drug war military aid package to Columbia, supporting a national missile defense system, backing unfair trade laws like "NAFTA for Africa," and supporting China's admission to the World Trade Organization. She also voted to eliminate the estate tax, which would benefit wealthy Americans like Feinstein and her financier husband, Richard Blum, who are estimated to be worth more than $50 million (making her the fifth richest member of Congress). She voted for "Three Strikes" mandatory sentencing and strongly supports the death penalty. San Francisco Bay Guardian Endorsements US Senate Medea Benjamin Links zpub.com

re:"Feinstein, Clinton are two I remember" I remember wrong. "Secretary Powell made an extremely compelling and comprehensive presentation documenting Iraq's material breach with U.N. Resolution 1441. First of all, he showed that Iraq has been practicing deceit and evasion in the arms inspections process. Second, he revealed that Iraq is continuing its weapons of mass destruction program. And third, Secretary Powell showed a nexus between Iraq and Al Qaida." -Feb 5, 2003
