"
The Wal-Mart You Don't Know"
"The giant retailer's low prices often come with a high cost. Wal-Mart's relentless pressure can crush the companies it does business with and force them to send jobs overseas. Are we shopping our way straight to the unemployment line?... Last year, 7.5 cents of every dollar spent in any store in the United States (other than auto-parts stores) went to the retailer."

Just in case you missed
this story - although I can't see how that could be possible considering it was run by such journalistic power houses as
The New York Post and the Centre Daily Times - the chairman of the federal commission investigating the September 11, 2001 (aka 9/11) terrorist attacks said that they could have been prevented.
Tom Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey stated, "As you read the report, you're going to have a pretty clear idea of what wasn't done and what should have been done...I mean, this was not something that had to happen."
The NY Post piece - which also appeared on
FOX News.com - offered this little gem: "Kean didn't name names but it has previously been reported that the Bush administration received intelligence warnings that provided hints about Usama bin Laden's (sic) intentions before Sept. 11. "
But will any other media outlet touch this story with a ten-foot pole? Hell no. Eventually it will be forgotten, along with
all the other details of the attacks.
