A Spanish newspaper has published the conversation between US president Bush and the then Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar in February 2003 at his Texas ranch, some time before US forces invaded Iraq. It provides a good picture of what Bush really is, as the talk with the Spanish leader was a very frank [...]
What is the cocktail of sodium thiopental, pancuronium bromide and potassium chloride used for? Hard for anyone without a proper background in science to guess but not at all tough to start a debate on when you know that these are the three drugs that comprise the lethal injection that is used for the execution [...]
The perpetrators of the 9/11 attack originated from Asia and were trained in the United States itself. If that was bad, then this could be worse.

Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, should you want to race ahead of your rivals to become the candidate for the US president’s post from your party, you need to raise more funds than your competitors.
