Iraq War Defended in TV Address
‘Islamic Fascists’
Phrase Disputed
Kennedy says Bush
should be ashamed
(AP) — Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold called on
President Bush to refrain from using the phrase “Islamic
fascists,“ saying it was offensive to Muslims and has
nothing to do with global terrorists fighting the United
Slates.
“We must avoid using misleading and offensive terms
that link Islam with those who subvert this great religion
or who distort its teachings to justify terrorist activities,”
Feingold said Tuesday in a speech to the Arab American
Institute on Capitol Hill.
The Wisconsin senator, a potential 2008 presidential
candidate, said the label “Islamic fascists” makes no
sense and doesn’t help the U.S. effort to combat terror­
ism.
“Fascist ideology doesn’t have anything to do with the
way global terrorist networks think or operate, and it
doesn’t have anything to do with the overwhelming
majority of Muslims around the world who practice the
peaceful teachings of Islam,” Feingold said.

President Bush, in a prim e-tim e address from
the Oval O ffice on the five-year anniversary o f
the Sept. 11 attacks, staunchly defended the war
in Iraq even though he acknowledged that Saddam
Hussein was not responsible for the attacks that
ki lied nearly 3,000 people.
He said S addam 's regime, while lacking w eap­
ons of mass destruction, was a clear threat that
posed "a risk the world could not afford to take.”
At least 2,666 U.S. servicem en and women have
died in Iraq.
"W hatever m istakes have been made in Iraq,
the worst m istake would be to think that if we
pulled out. the terrorists w ould leave us alone,”
the president said. "They will not leave us alone.
They will follow us.”

New York and a wing o f the Pentagon in W ash­
ington, D.C. A nother plane crashed in Pennsyl­
vania.
The attacks thrust the Untied States into a
costly and unfinished w ar against
terror and aw akened the world to
bin Laden, an exiled Saudi Arabian,
and his band o f al-Q aida terrorists.
Bin Laden, the reputed m aster­
mind o f the attack, and other terror­
ists are still in hiding, presum ably
in the border area between Afghani­
stan and Pakistan.
Still, Bush calls Iraq the central
SAFEWAY O
front in the war on terrorism.
"The safety o f A m erica depends on the out­
com e o f the battle in the streets o f Baghdad,” the
president said. He quoted bin Laden as calling
Iraq "the Third W orld W ar.”
Some leading Dem ocrats say President Bush
shouldn’t have used the m em ory o f the 9-11
attacks to defend the Iraq war.
Sen. Ted Kennedy says outright that Bush
"should be ashamed" o f giving a speech that
"had nothing to do with 9-11." The veteran
M assachusetts law m aker says the anniversary
w asn't the tim e to debate the president’s Iraq
policy.

"A nyone out there that feels offended

HIV/AIDS Tests in Prisons Wanted
U.S. Rep. M axine W aters has proposed
m andatory H IV/AIDS testing for inmates
entering a federal prison facility and again
upon their release.
The California Democrat and member of
the Congressional Black Caucus intro­
duced legislation Thursday to help curb
the spread o f H IV/AIDS in the A frican-
A m erican com m unity — a trend that has
been largely ignored by a m ajority o f U.S.
policy makers, elected officials, and civil
rights leaders.
"N egative attitudes tow ard and the
stigma associated with mandatory testing
are obsolete and pose a potentially lethal
health risk, specifically to African Ameri­
cans." said Rep. Waters. "The United States
must start looking at mandatory testing in
the context o f prevention. We cannot allow
the fear and ignorance rooted in a 25-year-
old mindset to slow aggressive efforts to
halt the progress of this disease.”
Although black A m ericans m ake up
only 12 percent of the U.S. population,
they account for 50 percent o f the new
H IV /A ID S cases. A fric an -A m erica n
w omen make up nearly 70 percent o f all
new AIDS cases am ong women.
