The soldier’s silhouette leans against his rifle as he kneels at the foot of a small cross. For more than six years, that veterans’ memorial has stood at a busy Burbank intersection without complaint.

September 29, 2005

| Categories: Media Monitor

It is hard to understand how the investigation of soldiers allegedly posting photographs of Iraqi corpses on the internet in exchange for access to online pornography has already been dismissed because of lack of evidence.

| Categories: Media Monitor

There is a myth circulating around the world that women’s rights in the West are perfect. Thus any other body of rights is automatically labeled as discriminatory. In his column Derrick Z. Jackson propagates this myth by claiming, “It would be a travesty of American women, who have fought for equality to the level of dying in the military, did all this dying only to watch the burials of women’s rights in Iraq” (“What are our women fighting for?” Aug. 15).
