War Times Newspaper
War Times Mission statement:

The terrorist attacks of September 11 marked the beginning of a new and frightening period in our history. Thousands of people died that day, and their families along with the country as a whole are still struggling to recover. But President Bush's response of "permanent war against terrorism at home and abroad" has further endangered the lives and liberties of millions of people everywhere.

War Times is being produced to help broaden and deepen the fight against the Bush program by compiling information and analysis, and putting them into the hands of large numbers of readers. We are planning for it to be a free, mass produced, biweekly, and nationally distributed tabloid-sized newspaper. It will be a valuable outreach and education tool for organizers on the ground and an entryway for new people into the peace and justice movement.

WW3 REPORT
Monitors the global War on Terrorism and its implications for human rights, democracy and ecology. They scan the world media and Internet with a critical eye for distortions and propaganda. Their only loyalty is to the truth.

Every week,they cover the top stories in the War on Terrorism, as well as important stories overlooked
by the mass media. Everything we report is sourced, and we endeavor to fact-check and probe deeper
when something smells funny--whether it comes from the New York Times or a fringe web site. They
annotate with historical, cultural and political context when it is relevant and overlooked by our source.
They are always concise and to-the-point, boiling the news down to its essence. They encourage
reprinting of our blurbs by activist newsletters and community newspapers--with attribution please.
"Does my country really understand that this is World War III? And if this attack was the Pearl
Harbor of World War III, it means there is a long, long war ahead."
