By Jeff JohnsonCNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer June 23, 2006(CNSNews.com) -
Declassified portions of an intelligence report being promoted by two U.
S. lawmakers confirm reporting in 2004 by Cybercast News Service that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, including mustard gas, when his country was invaded by coalition forces. Sen.
Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.
) said the new report confirms that approximately 500 such weapons have been destroyed by the coalition since 2003 and that the U.S. and its allies are in a race against terrorist groups trying to control the remaining weapons.
"This says weapons have been discovered, more weapons exist and they state that Iraq was not a WMD-free zone ...
that there are continuing threats from the materials that are or that may still be in Iraq," Hoekstra, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said at a press conference releasing a summary report from the National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC).
Santorum agreed.
"The idea that, as my colleagues have repeatedly said in this debate, on the other side of the aisle, that there are no weapons of mass destruction is in fact false," Santorum said.
"We have found over 500 weapons of mass destruction and in fact have found that there are additional chemical weapons still in the country.
"Cybercast News Service on Oct. 4, 2004, that "Iraqi intelligence documents, confiscated by U.
S. forces and obtained by CNSNews.com .
.. demonstrate that Saddam's government possessed mustard gas and anthrax, both considered weapons of mass destruction, in the summer of 2000, during the period in which United Nations weapons inspectors were not present in Iraq.
"The 2004 report by CNSNews.com detailed purchases of mustard gas on Aug. 21, 2000 and "malignant pustule," another name for anthrax, on Sept.
6, 2000. The initial article included English-language translations of two Arabic-language inventory tables, one for the and another for the . The original Arabic-language documents regarding the and purchases were later made available as Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
On June 19, 2006, Hoekstra wrote National Intelligence Director John Negroponte, requesting that he declassify "key points" of an NGIC report regarding "the recovery of chemical munitions in Iraq." Negroponte responded with the requested on June 21.
"Since 2003, Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions, which contain degraded mustard [gas] or sarin nerve agent," the NGIC summary stated.
"Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist," the document continued. "Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the Black Market. Use of these weapons by terrorist or insurgent groups would have implications for Coalition forces in Iraq.
The possibility of use outside of Iraq cannot be ruled out. The most likely munitions remaining are sarin-[filled] and mustard-filled projectiles.
"Numerous media reports attempted to downplay the discovery, quoting "a Pentagon official, who asked not to be identified," arguing that the age of the weapons meant they were "in such a degraded state they couldn't be used for what they are designed for.
"
But the NGIC summary appears to contradict that last claim.
"The purity of the agent inside the munitions depends on many factors, including the manufacturing process, potential additives and environmental storage conditions," the report concluded. "While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal.
"Despite evidence to the contrary, traditional media outlets have repeatedly claimed that Iraq possessed no such weapons between the time Saddam Hussein effectively ejected United Nations weapons inspectors in 1998 and the Bush administration's decision to use military force against Saddam in "Operation Iraqi Freedom" on March 20, 2003.
Searches of the Nexis database of newspaper and television reporting revealed that the phrase "no weapons of mass destruction" appeared in news reports:
*69 times in the previous week;
*165 times in the previous month;
*462 times in the previous 90 days; and
*More than 1,000 times in the previous six months.
Nexis searches will not quantify returns that yield more than 1,000 results.
The words "no WMDs" were also frequently used by reporters and commentators.
*In the previous week, the phrase appeared 14 times;
*In the previous month, the phrase appeared 50 times;
*In the previous 90-days, the phrase appeared 198 times; *In the previous six months, the phrase appeared 372 times; and
*In the previous year, the phrase appeared 796 times.
Online news services and talk radio have overwhelmingly continued to report the existence of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq prior to the 2003 invasion as a disputed fact.
Tim Graham is director of media analysis for the Media Research Center, the parent organization of Cybercast News Service. He believes newspaper and television reporters -- who have been repeating "the Democrats' talking point that there were no weapons of mass destruction" as an undisputed fact -- now have an obligation to pursue the new evidence.
"If the press is interested in finding facts first and letting the chips fall where they may, then they all should be reporting this," Graham said.
"They don't have to say 'we've found the truth and Bush was right,' but it's incumbent upon the media now to investigate this."

Note: This commentary was delivered by Prison Fellowship President Mark Earley.
Last week on "BreakPoint" I told you about the InnerChange Freedom Initiative, or IFI, a faith-based program that helps prisoners become law-abiding citizens.
I told you then that Barry Lynn and the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State had sued the state of Iowa, Prison Fellowship, and IFI, claiming that the initiative is unconstitutional. Well, the judge's decision was handed down late Friday, and it's not good news for those of us who believe in religious freedom and who want to see prisoners transformed. Despite the fact that the program is purely voluntary on the part of prisoners, the judge found that the program is unconstitutional because it was a Christ-centered program and received 40 percent of its funding from the state, even though 60 percent was raised from private donations.
He ordered that the program be shut down in sixty days and that IFI and Prison Fellowship pay back the state of Iowa $1.5 million, money that the state had paid to IFI under a valid contract over the past several years. An appeal will be filed within this week, and the IFI can stay open pending the appeal.
And the order to pay back the money to Iowa is on hold as well until the appeal process runs its course. Prison Fellowship and IFI will appeal--all the way to the Supreme Court if we must. Why?
Simply this: Prison Fellowship wants to see a level playing field for people of faith. People of faith should not be excluded from providing services in the public square to those who have volunteered to receive them. We want prisoners to be able to take part in a program--yes, even a Christ-centered one--that will help them change their lives for the better if they desire to do so.
Americans United, on the other hand, wants religion forced out of every aspect of public life, including prisons--regardless of the consequences for those prisoners who volunteer to participate.
Look what's at stake here: 2.3 million prisoners in America today; 600,000 of them released this year alone; and two-thirds of them will be rearrested within three years.
Why? Because merely warehousing prisoners leaves them unprepared to reenter society as productive citizens. Indeed, it makes them worse.
Yet prisoners who graduate from IFI after many months of education, hard work, community service, and transformation are far less likely to re-offend than other prisoners. And that has been shown true by an independent study done at the University of Pennsylvania. Nonetheless, the judge has ruled against IFI, and in a way that could call into question any religious program in state, federal, or local prisons.
Merely facilitating a faith-based program could be deemed unconstitutional if this ruling stands. What's more, his order that Prison Fellowship and IFI pay $1.5 million is virtually unprecedented and sets a troubling precedent.
When you combine this order with the high legal costs of defending these kinds of suits, the message to faith-based groups is clear:
We don't want faith-based groups coming into the public square to offer charitable services. Though the judge's decision is troubling, we believe that the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court will see that offering prisoners the chance to transform themselves into productive citizens is not only constitutional, but also the right thing to do. As I told you last week on this program, Prison Fellowship will stand for the religious freedom of prisoners and for all Americans.
We can only hope that what happened with God being taken out of the classrooms of America thirty years ago does not repeat itself in America's prisons as a result of the federal courts. I hope and pray that you will stand with us as well. Thank you and God bless you for helping us, praying for us, and standing with us at this very critical time.

Ronald Reagan - Man of Courage...
Man of Faith
Ronald Reagan died at his Los Angeles home Saturday, June 5, 2004, at the age of 93 after a 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease. It was the 40th U.S.
president’s last wish that ordinary Americans be given a chance to say good-bye. The world will long remember him as a distinguished president and a man of courage.
.
..
Man of Courage
One of President Reagan’s most famous speeches took place in June of 1987 in Berlin.
The Soviets were losing the Cold War, their economy was sputtering, and they found themselves unable to match the military might of the United States. Speaking at the Berlin Wall, with the Brandenburg Gate towering behind him, Ronald Reagan issued this bold challenge to the Soviet leader: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
”1
Five years earlier in a speech to the British parliament, he prophetically declared, “The march of freedom and democracy will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history.”2 And indeed it did! British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said of him, “Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot.
”3
Ronald Reagan was a leader of courage and conviction. Polls meant little to him. Even when he was running for reelection in 1984, he wrote a powerful book defending the sanctity of human life.
Some of his top aides warned him not to publish it, but he ignored those warnings—and won in a landslide! One of his many biographers4 described Reagan as the bravest and most incorruptible person he had ever known.
When Mr.
Reagan became president in 1981, the United States economy was in recession and communism was spreading. Before he was elected, Reagan had promised to fix the economy, strengthen the military, and win the Cold War When he left the White House in 1989, the economy was booming, the military was strong, and the Soviet Union was near extinction. “We meant to change a nation,” Reagan reflected just before leaving office, “and instead we changed a world.
”5 What made Ronald Reagan, a gracious man with a humble beginning, such an extraordinary leader?
Man of Faith
Fundamentally, Reagan understood the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, even calling the former Soviet Union The Evil Empire. “There is sin and evil in the world,” he proclaimed, “and we’re enjoined by Scripture and the Lord Jesus to oppose it with all our might.
”6 He knew that God was holy and that “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” 7 He realized, as well, that “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”8
Acknowledging that all of us, because of our sins, deserve to be separated from God forever in hell, Reagan also fervently believed in the love and mercy of God: “God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”9
Reagan was convinced of the deity of Jesus Christ.
He said, “Either He was who He said He was or He was the world’s greatest liar. It is impossible for me to believe a liar or charlatan could have had the effect on mankind that He has had for 2000 years. We could ask, would even the greatest of liars carry His lie through the crucifixion, when a simple confession would have saved Him?
”10
As a young teenager, Ronald Reagan became a Christian by accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He turned from his sins and trusted Christ to forgive him and grant him eternal life. He believed what the Bible said was true: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.
”11
Soon after the 1981 assassination attempt that nearly killed him, Reagan was asked by his pastor if he would have been ready to meet God had he died. “Yes,” he replied, “I’m ready to meet God because I have a Savior.”12
President Reagan’s place in history is secure.
But even more secure than this legacy is his standing before the Lord of the universe. Reagan will live with God in heaven forever because of his relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
How about you, friend?
Are you ready to meet God? Do you have a Savior? If you truly want to know God and experience His peace now and the joys of heaven for eternity, you too can “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”13 and be saved.
You can pray something like this: “Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You died in my place to pay the penalty for my sins and that You rose from the dead. I now confess my sins, and turn to You, trusting in You alone as my Savior and Lord and receiving Your gift of forgiveness and eternal life.
Thank You for going to the cross for me so that I might have eternal life. Amen.”

The root of the problem of the United States
Karen
Dear Friends and Family,(Joshua
What is the root of the problem of the
United States? It is the root of the problem of all mankind.It is listening to
Satan. People who listen to Satan's lies are then manipulated by him to spread
his deception. Using a popular word, they "channel" him.
The
Devil's consortium includes the Communist Party USA, most of the media,
some big business, many religions and the radical left politicians.
Most of these have willingly been deceived as Eve was in the Garden of Eden (and
Adam willingly followed).
America is listening to the wrong
spirit.Instead of listening to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, many
begin to believe "the Lie" that Satan channels through his disciples. Hitler
repeated a lie so long that Germany believed him. The same thing is happening
here.When I hear the "anointed" rhetoric of a Ted Kennedy, I hear Satan. When I
learn that the head of a broadcast network "hates" Bush, I hear Satan. When I
read homosexuality being sold by a newspaper, I read words that the
Spinmeister has inspired.Whenever I hear a pro-abortionist praise the act
of taking a human life, I hear the voice of the Liar and Murderer whom
Jesus exposed. Whenever I hear people rail against Christians and
Jews, I hear the voice of Satan who hates Christians and Jews. Don't look at me
that way--I did not write the Bible--surprise!Jesus Himself said to some
evil religious leaders,
'42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your
Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come
on my own; but he sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you?Because you
are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you
want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning,
not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.When he lies, he speaks
his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I
tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?
If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 He who belongs to God
hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to
God."' (John 8:42-47, NIV)
How does one recognize error? Simply
check everything one reads, sees or hears with the eternal Word of
God--the Bible! I choose to believe the Bible and serve the LORD as Joshua
did:
"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you
this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that
were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land
ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
24:15)

Dangerous
Disconnect
As the days count down toward the November
elections, there is a brooding mood across the country. The economy is growing
at a tremendous rate, 5.3% in the first quarter and unemployment is low at 4.7%.
With numbers like that incumbent politicians would usually be riding high with
their reelection campaigns set on cruise control.But with only 36% of Americans
feeling the country is headed in the right direction, incumbents are running
scared. What’s worse is that our elected “representatives” seem stumped as to
why.
As an example of the disconnect between Washington and the
heartland, a poll was released showing that 86% of Americans (including 94% of
Republicans!) supported the FBI’s search of Louisiana Democrat William
Jefferson’s Capitol Hill office. Yet, top Republican leaders were the most vocal
critics. How do you get that out of touch?
That disconnect has not gone
unnoticed at the grass roots and the level of discontent among conservatives has
gone beyond frustration to downright anger. If the Republican establishment
doesn’t get a grip on reality quickly, it may find itself dangerously close to
going the way of the Whigs.
For those not familiar with American
political history, the Whigs collapsed as a political party when they failed to
deal the pressing moral issue of their day – slavery.They were replaced by
Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party, America’s only successful “third party.”
Every day I am getting more and more messages from disillusioned
conservatives who are so disgusted they are threatening to boycott the
elections. It would be a terrible mistake to dismiss these conservatives as
disloyal cranks.They are incredibly loyal. But their loyalty is to a set of
values, not to a particular group or person.
Years ago, many
conservatives were at home in the Democrat Party.When it became captive to the
values of Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter, they fled to the party of Lincoln and
Reagan, today’s majority party. Whether or not values voters will continue to
make their home in the Grand Old Party is a question some pro-family leaders
have debated in recent years.
But I was stunned to read a column today
by former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan suggesting that America may be ripe
for a third party.Noonan is a good friend and, by all accounts, a loyal
Republican. Her column today read like one of the many emails I have received
from disgruntled conservatives.
Here is an excerpt:
“Right now
the Republicans and Democrats in Washington seem, from the outside, to be an
elite colluding against the voter.They're in agreement: immigration should not
be controlled but increased, spending will increase, etc. Are there some
dramatic differences? Yes.But both parties act as if they see them not as
important questions (gay marriage, for instance) but as wedge issues. Which is,
actually, abusive of people on both sides of the question. If it’s a serious
issue, face it.Don’t play with it.”
On her last point, I couldn’t agree
more. I believe the lack of demonstrable progress on values issues is behind
much of the conservative angst.Contrary to the media’s misconception, values
voters are not mindless robots who can be programmed. Like serious investors,
they expect a decent return on their investment. If they don’t feel like they
are getting results from their elected representatives, it is understandable
that they will be tempted to go fishing on Election Day.
Here
She Comes
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton kicked-off two campaigns
yesterday. First, she opened her re-election campaign to the Senate with a
speech to a wild crowd of delegates at the New York Democrat convention in
Buffalo. But the content of the speech left no doubt that she was also setting
the stage for a 2008 presidential bid that would return her and Bill to the
White House.
Political insiders assume that the senator was trying out
the three themes of her upcoming White House bid when she said that “we need to
work toward solutions that help us meet our 21st century challenges of: 1)
expanding our economy, 2) defending our security and 3) preserving our values.”
Sound familiar? It should since those are all Republican themes.If you
look carefully, you can actually see this political chameleon changing her
“colors” from a fiery “blue state” liberal to the softer “purple” tones of a
moderate. But, of course her solutions will be something else entirely: bigger
government, higher taxes, and a weaker national defense along with a radical
social agenda.
Can Hillary win in 2008?She shouldn’t if the Republican
Party confidently rededicates itself to the conservative principles that
transformed it from a party that regularly lost to essentially the governing
party of the United States.
But the current GOP is bedeviled with a
small group of RINOS (Republicans in Name Only) who are yearning on many issues
-- immigration, moral values, spending -- to satisfy Ted Kennedy and the New
York Times more than they are to stand for the values of people like you, who
sent them here.
Campaign for Working Families will continue to expose
those closet liberals while we do everything we can to elect and reelect the
solid conservatives in Congress -- and there are many of them -- who are
fighting the good fight for our values.
Have Republicans Forgotten?
I have an op-ed published in today’s Washington Times that continues the
theme of the desperate need for the Republican Party to promote the values
agenda, but with an interesting twist on the immigration debate. You can read it
online at
