PENSATE: senza i brogli della Florida 300mila iracheni e 3500 ragazzi

Forse sarebbe vivo anche Saddam: ma valeva la pena per eleiminare un

senza fine e rinfocolato il terrorismo?
E' vero che ha arricchito le lobbies delle armi e del petrolio ma ha

Jeb Bush blamed for unfair Florida election
Civil rights commission says minorities were disenfranchised by governor's
'gross dereliction' in ignoring problems
Special report: the US elections

Thousands of black electors in Florida were disenfranchised in last
November's election by an electoral system tainted by "injustice, ineptitude
and inefficiency" a leaked report by the US civil rights commission says.
It accuses Governor Jeb Bush, the president's brother, and his secretary of
state, Katherine Harris, of "gross dereliction" of duty, saying they "chose
to ignore mounting evidence" of the problems.
The eight-strong commission, whose report will be published on Friday, found
that black voters were "10 times more likely than white voters to have their
ballots rejected", and pointed to the use of a flawed list of felons and
ex-felons to purge the voting rolls.

Less than 20% of Florida's total population is black but half the prison
inmates are black.
"It is not a question of a recount or even an accurate count, but more
pointedly the issue is those whose exclusion from the right to vote amounted
to a 'No Count'," the report says.
But the commission failed to find "conclusive evidence" that there was a
conspiracy among Florida officials to disenfranchise voters.
Republican-appointed members distanced themselves from the conclusions and
expressed anger that it had been leaked before they had seen a final draft.
Aides to Governor Bush and Ms Harris criticised the leak too. A spokeswoman
said that since the election the governor had approved a raft of reform
measures aimed at improving the state's voting system.
Russell Redenbaugh, one of the Republican appointees, told the New York
Times: "There are a number of people who are so displeased with the outcome
of the election that they would do almost anything to cast a cloud over the
legitimacy of the election and the legitimacy of this administration."
After more than a month of haggling over recounts and the intervention of
the supreme court, George Bush was declared winner of the presidential
election in Florida by 537 votes.
The report says the tiny margin was overwhelmed by the numbers of
disproportionately minority voters denied the right to vote by the flawed
database of felons, and the widespread use of outdated voting technology in
black and Hispanic districts, where the resources to correct mistakes were
scarcest.
In an extract quoted by the Washington Post, the report says: "Despite the
closeness of the election, it was widespread voter disenfranchisement and
not the dead-heat contest that was the extraordinary feature in the Florida
election."
The felons list was put together by a private company, Database Technologies
(DBT), which has conceded that it was riddled with mistakes but says it
warned the Florida authorities to check it before using it.
Ms Harris's office said that was the responsibility of elections supervisors
in the state's 67 counties, but many local officials said they lacked the
means to verify it.
Some opted not to use the list at all, which allowed some ex-convicts to
cast votes illegally. But in counties where the list was used, many voters
with clean records found themselves barred from voting because they shared a
name with a convict.
The commission found that poor counties with high minority populations were
more likely than wealthier white ones to use inefficient voting systems
which rejected a higher percentage of ballots.
Some Hispanic and Haitian voters were not given ballots in their native
languages or provided bilingual assistance.
The report criticises Ms Harris's decision to reject a budget proposal to
spend $100,000 on educating voters.
The Florida attorney general's office said it was investigating the
allegation of civil rights violations and would give "due consideration" to
the commission's report.
The commission is expected to call for a US justice department inquiry.
"The report underscores officially what most of us have known all along,"
Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of
Coloured People, told the Washington Post.
Barbara Arnwine, who runs the Lawyers Committee of Civil Rights Under Law,
said the report confirmed her organisation's findings.
"I was absolutely shocked by the scale of voter denial and the
disenfranchisement of black voters." The action of the state authorities was
"a violation of the fundamental trust that we all give to state-elected
officials to protect our right to vote".

Tu non puoi sapere cosa avrebbe fatto Al Gore dopo l'11 settembre, non
puoi.

Vero: non posso, anche se Al Gore l'ha fatto ampiamente capire ma col senno
di poi.
Difficilmente Al Gore avrebbe intrapreso la guerra in Irak senza il consenso
ONU, difficilmente avrebbe inventato prove false contro Saddam perchč non
aveva un conto personale aperto e sopratutto non rappresentava le lobbies
delle armi e del petrolio.
Perň so quello che ha fatto Bush! E tutti quei morti sono davvero una colpa
orrenda. E quando le TV passano in rassegna OGNI GIORNO ai caduti americani
e io vedo quelle facce, per lo piů di quasi bambini, mandati a morire per
nulla che abbia davvero un valore morale, mi sento torcere le budella.
Poi mostrano quei genitori distrutti che sfogliano gli album delle foto del
loro figlio morto.... mamma mia, che strazio! Le TV ci inzuppano il pane e
fanno pure un po' ribrezzo...
