They should have hid the document in their pants
Doug Feith and his boss Paul Wolfowitz are two favorite bogeymen of the left. These two policymakers are partially responsible for a radical neoconservative agenda: 1) vigorously fight terrorists and the states that support them, 2) provide unflinching support for Israel and their daily struggle against terrorism; and 3) promote freedom, pluralism, and democracy throughout the Middle East.

  • Railroad Earth
    With nearly 400 shows and tens of thousands of road miles now behind them, Railroad Earth has become a staple on the national touring and festival scene, and built a huge following of loyal fans that document and trade every note they play, and often join them on the road for multiple nights. These fans call themselves “Hobos,” and the band considers them to be the fuel that keeps this engine chugging along. Railroad Earth’s next album is planned for release in Spring 2004. Till then the band will continue to bring their music to the stage from East to West. So keep an ear to the ground and listen for Railroad Earth, because they'll be rolling through your town very soon.

    "I hate to break the news to you, but you guy's may have finally put all the pieces together. This new ep is the best work I've heard from you ever! The writing, lyrics and music is superb, the performance is top notch and [Jim Leguilloux's] production gives it a true professional gloss." - Ron Gilmour, Power 104 Kelowna, BC

  • T-Band
    Jim Dooney plays guitar and does most of the lead vocals. He is great at getting everyone involved in the fun by taking requests or choosing the perfect song for any situation. Amy Anderson plays the stand up bass and sings harmony. Amy is the musical backbone of the band. Her playing punch and solid timing keeps us all together in our all acoustic environment. Robert Griffith plays banjo and sings harmony. Rob drives the band with lightning fast fingers and great improvising skills. Rich Egan plays mandolin and does some vocals. Rich keeps your feet tapping and your fingers snapping with his rhythm chops and is great at playing tasteful solos."

  • Curious Yellow (August 2003)
    After fronting a couple bands in the mid 90s in California and spending the next several years developing his musical and songwriting talents in Japan and Minneapolis, Adam Lancaster landed in Denver in 2000 and founded the band. The band took on many formations and seemingly endless lineup changes for about a year until the perfect complimentary additions of Gregg Rosenthal (drums), Josh Eckhoff (guitar), and Matt Novack (bass, vocals) created a sound and style beyond what Adam could have hoped for. This new talented group immediately began writing songs and reworking old songs to create music and a performance that attracts and engages every listening audience. The personal and musical bond between each member deepened quickly and the dedication from everyone to develop the band to its fullest possibilities is evident.

New Monsoon absorbs elements of sound indigenous to world culture and incorporates them into a variety of colorful and original rhythmic compositions.

  • One Way Rider (May 2003)
    "One Way Rider has taken Nashville by storm! It was an honor to have them perform on the Interstate Radio Network a network of over twenty stations that broadcast from Music City and airs nationwide and in Canada. Locally in Nashville, the IRN broadcast on WSM 650 AM, the home of the Grand Ole Opry. The response was great! We cant wait to have them come back on the air and play for us again. It was so good to be with folks that live and love the bluegrass way, truly a blessed family. David and Valerie are a great example of what a family can accomplish together."

    When Ripple started out in an Old Tappan, NJ basement during early 1978, none of us thought we would be discussing the possibilities of playing together for 25 years. But that’s exactly what happened. From the early day’s of playing friends parties (usually when the Parent’s were away) to all the great nightclubs and other interesting venues we’ve performed at during the years, we’ve met some amazing people and formed life long friendships that will long out live the Band.

    Brett Stowers and Nathin Seals offer a rhythmic passion that leads the humble gentlemen in their avant-garde sound. The unearthed discord and unconventional cries of frontman Andrew Sudderth infused with guitarist Cliff Campbell's melodic fury tumble into a captivating creation of sonics, cultures, and confusion. Combined with the subtle offering of Matt Langley on keys, FTM glides past the expected boundries and gracefully throws their intense rock harmonies to the flame.

  • The Fader's 'Here We Go Magic' Streets 2/24 + Preview Track
    The album opens with the trance-inducing polyrhythm’s and gorgeous multi-layered vocals of "Only Pieces.” What follows is an album oozing with sounds maternal and subconscious...like floating in amniotic fluid, ripe, hiccup-y and desperate to emerge. Many of the songs pulse with infectious afro-beat and kraut-rock influenced grooves, calling to mind classic albums like Remain in Light and Graceland. In contrast, the instrumental tracks conjure mystical introspective landscapes reminiscent of Popol Vuh's unforgettable ambience.

    When Marcus was growing up, every night after dinner his mother would call him over to the piano to teach him a new song. She had no great plan to train him professionally, she only wanted him to know this music and have it a part of his life. She would always say, “This is a great one for you to know.”

  • RIBS & BRISKET REVUE New Year's Eve at Cornelia Street
    Hard blowing, finger-snapping, klezmer-inflected jazz and wailing big city blues that suddenly slips into Yiddish; Shapiro tips his beret to Slim Gaillard with a couple of his tunes in praise of kosher cuisine, pours soul sauce and reggae beats over Jewish comedy songs and generally rips into things with just the right mix of irreverence and affection... Respect is due to John Zorn's Tzadik label for bringing this unique recording to the world. There really is no one else doing it quite like Shapiro!

  • Turbine Rumbles in the Red Fish
    Rightmire’s harmonica is almost certainly the band’s most exciting feature. It functions like a mouth-operated synthesizer, electrified, and run through a huge board of pedals. At times it sounds like a DJ scratch kit, at others it sounds like something from outer space. Sometimes it sounds like a regular harmonica. Rightmire’s epic lung capacity allows him to jam out on the mouth harp with incredible longevity. Long after most people would have blacked out and fallen over, Rightmire keeps the notes flowing, rocking around like a man possessed. I felt lightheaded just watching.

  • New Years Eve: Zeppelin Reborn as Rose Hill Drive
    The promise of hearing Zeppelin II was a deal-maker as well, the kind of rock and roll Rose Hill Drive does best. But when the band opened up with Trans Am, an original track off the band’s latest, Moon is the New Earth, the crowd didn’t know what to think. As it would turn out, the change up was so that the band wouldn’t have to pause in the middle of Zeppelin II to play Auld Lang Syne, release the balloons, and watch the happy couples make out on the dance floor. Good thing too, because once these guys got going, there was no stopping them.

An incredible story of intrigue will play out regarding the investigation of Larry Franklin, the suspected “mole” for Israel in the Pentagon office of Douglas Feith.  CBS News broke the story, broadcast in an overblown hue of danger and foreboding: Does Israel have a spy in the pentagon? Does Israel influence U.S. Foreign Policy on Iran? Did they influence our decision to invade Iraq? Is the U.S. lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) involved? CBS went hyperbolic with the Iraq insinuation and footage, imbuing a story about one mid-level analyst’s report with contrived global ramifications.

No sane person, not even the most zealous supporter of Israel, would tolerate or condone a violation of U.S. law or national interest.  Jonathan Pollard, who was convicted of passing classified information to our ally Israel, is currently serving the 19th year of a life sentence.  The Pollard incident caused a serious rift in U.S.-Israeli relations--his life sentence is still a very sore subject--no one wishes to repeat that.

Israeli Knesset Member Yuval Shteinitz, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in the Israeli Parliament, publicly stated, "Speaking as someone who is completely responsible for the supervision of Israel's secret services: this did not happen and never will. There are no spies in the Pentagon and not in the United States."

AIPAC states that no one received or transmitted any information they knew was classified.  As a lobbying group, AIPAC is in the business of gathering, analyzing, and disseminating huge amounts of data, but they do not work with classified documents.  Could they have received a classified report? If they made a mistake of this magnitude, it would be an absolute breach of their principles, and they would be held accountable.  If staffers mishandled a classified document, perhaps they should have hid them in their pants, and used Sandy Berger’s excuse--whatever that was, it seemed to get him off the hook.

The document in question concerns U.S. policy towards Iran, in draft form, hence the allegation that Israel, with clandestine knowledge of Pentagon thinking, would be able to influence U.S. policy towards Iran.  Israel has a right to be concerned about Iran.  Iranian officials routinely state their desire for the destruction of Israel; the Tehran government is the main funding and arms source for the terrorist group Hezbollah, which regularly attacks Israel from Lebanon.  The Israeli Navy intercepted the Karine-A, a ship filled with $100 million of  advanced weaponry on its way from Iran to the Palestinian Authority.

Iran is a frequent and salient topic for discussion between U.S. and Israeli diplomats, as the International Atomic Energy Agency’s approach to the Iranian nuclear program weighs heavily in the dialogue on the Middle East.  Currently, Iran is not cooperating with IAEA officials.  Is Iran developing nuclear weapons? If they succeed, will they attempt to use them against Israel? Is there a way to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb? Peacefully? Of course U.S. and Israeli officials routinely share information as they discuss these matters, hoping to avert catastrophe.

The most troubling aspect of this investigation--pursued by government officials who wish to disparage Israel, AIPAC, and neocons-- is that it perversely turns the “war on terror” on its head.  Instead of concentrating on our true enemy--terrorists and the states supporting them--it turns the lens and accusatory finger inward, toward American Jewish lobbyists exercising their freedom of speech, our staunch ally Israel, and the “neocons” who (in the minds of left-wing columnists) arrogantly pull the strings in the Bush administration.

Douglas Feith and his boss Paul Wolfowitz are two favorite bogeymen of the left.  These and other policymakers are responsible for a radical neoconservative agenda: 1) vigorously fight terrorists and the states that support them, 2) provide unflinching support for Israel and their daily struggle against terrorism; and 3) promote freedom, pluralism, and democracy throughout the Middle East.  The neoconservative world view and its powerful exponents are a great subject for spirited debate--but they are not the enemy.
