From Kathy Gill, Former About.com Guide to US Politics

Weekend Reading at About

Sunday May 14, 2006
The wide reach of the National Security Agency takes center stage at US Liberals, where Deborah White calls it the "single greatest fear of our founders." Robert Longley provides the official word from the White House, and Civil Liberties Guide Tom Head provides more background.

US Conservatives Guide Amy Hess gives a hoorah for extending tax cuts. Meanwhile, Environmental Guide Larry West tells us that half of the US "wadeable" streams are polluted.

Where's Darfur, the home of 1.8 million displaced souls and 350,000 dead due to conflict? World News Guide Jennifer Brea has an excellent pictoral guide to Darfur and the conflict. Also, see Keith Porter's guide to who makes US foreign policy.

And Happy Mother's Day!
