the development of new nuclear weapons:

U.S. Military spokesman James Tegnelia, quoted in the press, said,
"I don't want to sound glib here, but it is the first time in
Nevada that you'll see a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas since we
stopped testing nuclear weapons." He further claimed that "this is
the largest single explosive that we could imagine." Read more and

ENDORSEMENT:
Charles Coleman, Jr. of California's 28th CD Receives PDA's
Endorsement Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles and PDA nationally
have endorsed Charles Coleman Jr. in the Democratic primary for
California's 28th Congressional District. He is opposing incumbent
Rep. Howard Berman (D-Van Nuys).
Coleman was adamantly opposed to the Iraq invasion and believes we
need to withdraw our troops from that country immediately. These
positions are opposite those of Berman. In fact, after three years
of silence, Berman just released a position paper on Iraq, stating
that his vote to authorize Bush's pre-emptive strike was a mistake.
However, Berman believes our troops should remain in Iraq until
victory is achieved. Coleman believes there will be no victory;
things will only get worse in Iraq, and it is high time our leaders
factor in the desires of Iraqis and the vast majority of the
American people, including most of our military (72% according to a
February Zogby poll), who would like our troops withdrawn. Read
