Yes, they're our "angels" – a small but dedicated group of Antiwar.com supporters who are contributing significant sums to our fundraising drive.

So please, if you've been waiting for our "angels" to arrive – and even if you haven't – please make your tax-deductible donation today. Before they fly away …
