You know how the GOP thought having their convention right near 9/11 would be very cool. Wrong again! One thousand of NYC's finest.......not cops but leftie organizations.......have taken out permits to demonstrate against the convention. Some leftie guy was on Hannity & Colmes after Kissinger. You should have heard that weasel, Hannity..........all he could say to the leftie was: "I hope you all don't say Bush reminds you of Hitler.........that would be very bad", according to Hannity. It was ridiculous. ;~)) I suspect the GOP will hate NYC by the time this one is over! ted

Have you seen this one? ********************************************************* Protests as U.S. closes Iraqi paper Publishers accused of inciting violence Monday, March 29, 2004 Posted: 4:39 AM EST (0939 GMT) BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Several thousand Iraqis protested the closure of a newspaper Sunday, chanting anti-U.S. slogans and burning American flags outside the newspaper's office in Baghdad. The U.S.-led civil administration in Iraq closed the Baghdad newspaper Al Hawsa for 60 days, accusing its publishers of inciting violence against coalition troops. The paper is published by followers of prominent Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. "If the Coalition forces are going to keep on presenting us with such messages... they can just dream about any sort of end to terrorism," a statement from the newspaper said. "And they can also dream that we will stay quiet and step down from what we believe." The Coalition Provisional Authority accused the paper's editors of printing articles that incited violence against U.S. and other coalition troops -- a violation of coalition regulations. The building was sealed, and anyone caught attempting to publish the paper could face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Sadr is the son of Shiite imam Muhammad Baqr al-Sadr, a prominent leader assassinated in 1999. A vocal critic of the American occupation of Iraq, he has a substantial following in the Shiite district of Baghdad that now bears his father's name. In July, Iraqi police closed a newspaper they accused of running a "clearly inciteful" article calling on Iraqis to kill "all spies and those who cooperate with the U.S." CNN's Vivian Paulsen, Eden Pontz and Kianne Sadeq contributed to this report cnn.com
