Editor If 65% of Daily Lobo readers believe the Commander In Chief of the US Armed Forces lied to start a war, I hope they have the courage to stand up and do something about it. For over a week I have been following the report that US Forces used Chemical Weapons against Iraqis in last years territorial ...
To whomever it may concern, In Monday's article about the march for the petroglyphs, my opinion was placed in half of the article and it sounded as if I was leading the show. I would just like to note that it was 10 people including myself from the native student organizations KIVA CLUB, NASIRG, and ...
Your internet poll concerning Karl Rove and Scooter Libby is horribly biased. All of the questions imply that there was wrong-doing on the part of each man, and that it had to do with leaking the identity of a CIA operative. According to the special prosecutor, Rove and Libby have done nothing to ...
Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the letter by Shafeek Kubha titled "Arafat's peace-keeping endeavors overlooked.' It is hard for me to comprehend the use of words such as 'a freedom fighter, a liberator, and a man of integrity' to describe a man such as Yasser Arafat. Here are several examples ...

Yours truly, Jose "Joey" Solinap, 1980 Anderson School BBA alumni here, alive and kicking- trying to make a difference by helping out in any which way I can in family, business, community and society as ...
People have celebrated a mid-winter festival since ancient times. They marked the beginning of longer hours of daylight with fires and ritual offerings. The Roman festival of Saturnalia -- a time for feasting and gambling -- lasted for weeks in December. Germanic tribes of Northern Europe also celebrated ...
Can we not hear more about the UNM Hockey Club? They just tied the 3rd ranked team in the nation on Friday night, and spanked the 7th ranked team in the nation on Saturday.....By the way, their record is better than the football team (11-4-1)!! I know that part of my tuition pays for this paper so ...
Justin Conley seems to be practicing twisted logic , but why? He states: "Accusations of censorship on the right ... are not entirely accurate." When were "accusations" ever intended to be "accurate"? Now, conclusions drawn from a comprehensive body of facts might be used to reach "accurate" conclusions, ...
Editor New Mexico Rep. Heather Wilson says that A House investigation into intelligence failures leading up to the war in Iraq would be a distraction? How much money has Heather Wilson recieved from Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff, and AIPAC (The American Israeli Public Affairs Committee)? Why were AIPAC ...
Discrimination at UNM Discrimination can take many different forms, but there is no question every form is damaging. Especially when a Public University is perpetrating it. I am amazed at the level of incompetence in the administration of UNM's Nursing program, and the lack of oversight by UNM's ...
Editor, I am writing in response to a letter that appeared in Monday's Daily Lobo. Ben Mills claimed the media is biased, since it has not reported the positive influences from the invasion of Iraq, such as schools being built and policemen being trained.
Editor Ben Mills 2 year old DOD talking points still don't excuse the lies the US Government and its Corporate Media are still telling us about the New Iraq. Iraq is a T-H-E-O-C-R-A-C-Y, not a D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y. This so called War on Terror seems a lot more like a War on Freedom. The naive Peace ...
Your social security number is essentially your identity. Identity-theft has climbed over the past years causing an outbreak of stringent precautions on behalf of credit card companies, banks, and individuals. Why is it then that UNM insists on using cocial secuity numbers as student ID numbers? The ...
Editor, I was just wondering when CIRT was planning on unblocking the Facebook website from UNM computers. The Facebook connects people through social networks at schools and is a great communication device for college students. When CIRT initially blocked the Facebook a few MONTHS ago, they ...
Editor, I read an article in Friday's issue entitled U.S, Terrorism not covered by mainstream media that accused the armed forces of being, "a terrorist organization commanded by the world's No. 1 terrorist, George Bush." I am often shocked by a person's willingness to shirk all responsibility and ...
Curve balls and Hatchet jobs on Governor Richardson in Baseball History Dear Editor: I thought I had witnessed the ultimate in newspaper hatchet jobs and curve balls in political journalism, but this latest "discovery" by the Albuquerque Journal that Bill Richardson was not drafted by Kansas City ...
Editor, Ben Mills' use of 2-year-old Defense Department talking points in his letter in Monday's Daily Lobo still doesn't excuse the lies the United States government and its corporate media are still telling us about "the New Iraq." Iraq is a theocracy, not a democracy.
Up to now, I haven't paid much attention to the worries expressed by some fundamentalist Christians about alleged efforts by "secular humanists" to "de-Christianize" the United States. Frankly, these assertions seemed a little too far "out there" for me. However, following the rash of recent news reports ...
