INSIGHT NEWS ALERT! New articles from Insight on the News are now online http://www.insightmag.com ............................................... Folks, last week we put out our Spring Double Issue, so you won’t find a new issue today. But you will find some outstanding stories you may have missed. . . . Ralph de Toledano’s blistering expose of the ACLU, http://www.insightmag.com/news/255123.html Jamie Dettmer’s remarkable story on damage control inside the FBI and CIA post Sept. 11, http://www.insightmag.com/news/255121.html and Doug Burton’s Symposium on whether the NEA discriminates against its religious members http://www.insightmag.com/news/255099.html—to name just a few. Until next time, I’m still your Newsman in Washington. ............................................... CIA AND FBI PLAY THE BLAME GAME Jamie Dettmer reveals that the fabled Clinton "war room," with its alert media reflexes and craftiness in unleashing quick ripostes to potentially damaging stories, had nothing on these spooks and G-men! http://www.insightmag.com/news/255121.html ............................................... DOLLARS AND SENSE Sean Paige writes that having blundered once already with a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin that confused people by looking and feeling too much like a quarter, the folks in Washington seem to have produced yet another dollar coin that hasn't caught on with anyone other than coin collectors. http://www.insightmag.com/news/255106.html ............................................... TAXPAYERS GETTING DRILLED ON FLORIDA LEASE DEAL Sean Paige has discovered that environmental groups are purring like kittens (kittens that ate the canary) after the Bush administration agreed to a $235 million taxpayer buyback of gas and mineral leases on public lands in Florida, where the president's brother, Jeb Bush, just happens to be governor. http://www.insightmag.com/news/255105.html ======================================== Liberals & Homosexuals Conspire to Subvert Seminaries Liberals who blame celibacy for the Catholic Church's pedophilia scandals are missing the real cause: seminaries that actively encourage homosexuality, moral laxity, and theological dissent all in the name of post-Vatican II "renewal." In Goodbye, Good Men, Michael S. Rose demonstrates that such seminaries are by no means rare. Help defend Christianity from assault by those who would subvert its message from within. Save over 30%!

What's not to like about a treaty that would supposedly "end discrimination against women"? If this was what CEDAW really was about, we all would applaud it. But it's not. http://www.insightmag.com/news/255108.html ............................................... PRO&CON: IS THE NEA FAIR TO ITS RELIGIOUS MEMBERS? http://www.insightmag.com/news/255099.html BOB CHASE SAYS YES: The record shows that NEA treats all teachers – both union and nonunion – with respect. Persecution? The form used by the Ohio Education Association to determine whether a religious objector has a legitimate case under the law is less probing, less intrusive and far shorter than the information the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation advises individuals to provide. http://www.insightmag.com/news/255100.html STEFAN GLEASON SAYS NO: The NEA's primary goal is to impose its radical social agenda on public education. In May, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission determined that the National Education Association systematically discriminates against teachers who have a religious objection to joining or supporting that teachers union. This confirmed once again that the nation's largest teachers union has a bias against people of faith who do not support its radical social agenda. http://www.insightmag.com/news/255101.html ...............................................

If so, why is your ethnicity the government's business? http://www.insightmag.com/news/255107.html ...............................................
