and abuse of Iraqi detainees at his base, and
requested a formal investigation. Thirty-six
hours later, Ford, a 49-year-old with over 30
years of military service in the Coast Guard,

medical personnel to lie down on a gurney,
was then strapped down, loaded onto a

'Muslims do not "hate our freedom," but
rather, they hate our policies.'
-- Report of the Defense Science Board
Task Force on Strategic Communication

The official FBI definition of terrorism
describes exactly what George Bush did in the
aftermath of the attacks of 9/11!

The creation of NORTHCOM, announced in April
2002, constitutes a blatant violation of both
Canadian and Mexican territorial
sovereignty. Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld announced unilaterally that US
Northern Command would have jurisdiction over
the entire North American region. Canada and
Mexico were presented with a fait
accompli. US Northern Command's jurisdiction
as outlined by the US DoD includes, in
addition to the continental US, all of
Canada, Mexico, as well as portions of the
Caribbean, contiguous waters in the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans up to 500 miles off the
Mexican, US and Canadian coastlines as well
as the Canadian Arctic.

The Mark 77 is a US 750-lb (340-kg)
air-dropped incendiary bomb that carries a
fuel gel mix that is the direct successor to
napalm.

form of politics I don�t like, which doesn�t
take us very far toward understanding what it
is?

On November 7, the House and Senate reached
agreement to fund research into new nuclear
weapons, but firmly rejected Administration
requests to approve development of a new
generation of battlefield nuclear weapons,
such as low-yield nuclear weapons and
"bunker-busters."

In the final version of the Defense
Authorization Bill, the House and Senate
regrettably lifted a decade-old ban on new
nuclear weapons work, and approved of
research efforts into new weapons. However,
Congress voted to require executive branch
agencies to get Congressional approval for
any activities that go beyond research
leading to development of new nuclear
weapons.

Every news report or scandal that has been
detrimental to the Bush/Anglo-American war
agenda has been followed, within hours, with
shocking executions (real and staged) that
are attributed to "terrorist insurgents,"
despite questionable circumstances,
non-verifiable evidence and unreliable
sources, such as "unnamed" intelligence and
military officials.

�No one in the West knows more about the
Qaeda leader than Scheuer, who has tracked
him since the mid-1980s,� writes Drudge,
always a useful and faithful tool for the
Bushcons. �The CIA allowed him to write
the books provided he remain anonymous, but
now is allowing him to reveal himself
[without disguise] for the first time on
Sunday�s [the CBS program 60 Minutes]
broadcast.�

...if anyone gives you a hard time for
believing that the government knew enough to
have prevented the attacks, just tell them
that you're in powerful company. The
Secretary of Defense, the Director of the
FBI, the Assistant Attorney General, one
Democratic Senator, two Republican Senators,
one Republican Representative, and the Vice
President feel that way, too.

Kerry's Entangling Alliances
by Michael Badnarik
October 27, 2004

Bush has behaved like a caricature of what a

his continuation in office will discredit any
sort of conservatism for generations.

War is an option whose time has passed. Peace
is the only option for the future. At present
we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between
peace and war, a time of growing fear that
our military might has expanded beyond our
capacity to control it and our political
differences widened beyond our ability to
bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore,
the only way to achieve a practical, livable
peace in a world of competing nations is to
take the profit out of war. --RICHARD

Transcript: Vice Presidential Debate

Card says president sees America as a child needing a parent
By Sarah Schweitzer, Globe Staff | September 2, 2004
NEW YORK -- White House Chief of Staff Andrew
Card said yesterday that President Bush views
America as a ''10-year-old child" in need of
the sort of protection provided by a parent.

He denied what he said on Meet The Press in
2001, that it was "pretty well confirmed"
that lead 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta had
meetings with Iraqi intelligence.
"No, I never said that. ... Absolutely not,"
he told her �� although he did.

"The senator has got his facts wrong," Cheney
said. "I have not suggested there's a
connection between Iraq and 9/11, but there's
clearly an established Iraqi track record
with terror."

Cheney said that with a victory in Iraq, "we

heart of the base, if you will, the
geographic base of the terrorists who have
had us under assault now for many years, but
most especially on 9/11." And Cheney has said
sveral times publicly that the lead hijacker
of 9/11, Mohamed Atta, met with Iraqi
intelligence agents in Prague.

For Cheney and Edwards, Efforts
to Improve on the Other Debate

Halliburton makes a mockery of the term
private enterprise. The profits are private,
to be sure, but the risk is socialized.

Given the risky work and the firestorm of
criticism from Democrats, one would think
that Halliburton was making profit hand over
fist in Iraq. Sadly for the company's
shareholders, that is not the case.

another and seen through a custom viewfinder,
the strips, through some cryptographic
voodoo, reveal your choices in plain English.

appears, was less the product of real

a justification for a war the administration
was hot to pursue even before 9/11.

Terrorists will attack the American people if

President Dick Cheney declared Tuesday.

The CIA's intent was never to destroy their
Al Qaeda offspring or even to "badly disrupt"
the Bin Laden network. The CIA wants to grab
and silence those with "loose lips," and make
sure that they never get on the witness
stand, such as in the Moussaoui case.

Enter Anne Womack, who went to work

about the election. But then what other
choice looms on Nov. 2? Reading Cheney��s
words again, it is clear that's exactly what
he was talking about.

There is little sympathy left for a party
that tries to spin its own spinelessness into
a role as the Bush regime's first victim
rather than its most willing collaborator -
it's a kind of like Austria after the
Anschluss. The left would deeply like to
believe that Kerry can continue on his
current course, with a wink and a nod, and
then somehow govern from a mandate on which
he never campaigned.

The Al Qaeda Candidate?

Then, under pressure, he supported it. First
he promised that we'd win the war on
terror. Then last month, he said that the war
is "un-winnable" �� but the next day said
it is not only winnable, but that we're
winning it. None of these flip-flops,
however, has punctured the myth that Bush is
"decisive."

In a surprise move against the White House
administration's effort to overhaul the
rules that govern who is and is not eligible
for overtime pay, the U.S. House of
Representatives voted Thursday 223-193 to
circumvent the rules, which took effect last
month. These rules are particularly germane
to IT-related employees, well known for
working long hours, often deep into the
night and weekends.

The vote on the politicized pay issue was an
approval of an amendment sponsored by
Democrat representatives David Obey of
Wisconsin and George Miller of California and
would eliminate nearly all provisions of the
overtime rule changes.

Speaking in Iowa yesterday, Vice President
Cheney took fear mongering to a new level

voters make "the wrong choice" in
November. "It's absolutely essential that
eight weeks from today, on November 2nd, we
make the right choice," Cheney said, "because
if we make the wrong choice then the danger
is that we'll get hit again. We'll be hit in
a way that will be devastating."

"There is no peace candidate in this race,"
Kerry adviser Ashton Carter told the San

added: "No candidate who is a peace candidate
ought to win."

Khairullin wrote in the October 29 issue of
Moskovskie Komsommolets. A man in his forties
had asked for a meeting with a correspondent
from the newspaper and had then identified
himself as an employee of Russian military
intelligence. There were, he specified, four
such Special Services agents among the fifty
or so terrorists who had seized the Moscow
theater. "From this it emerges that it would
have been possible to avert the tragedy."
Another man, employed at one of the
analytical centers of one of the Russian
special services, who was unaware of what the
GRU informant had already said, "confirmed
the words of the other source: Within
Baraev's group [he said] were very deeply
inserted Chechen agents who had been there
for a long time." Obviously, Khairullin
emphasized, this information needs to be
carefully checked.'

"Significantly, the government does not
employ double entry bookkeeping in the
preparation of its accounts. This has been
standard accounting practice since the
seventeenth century, which classifies and
tracks sources and uses of funds to create an
accurate picture of a business (or public)
enterprise. Today the Pentagon utilises no
accountable means of tracking money
authorised by Congress from its initial
authorisation to its use, say in developing a
fighter plane. Running a 21st century
military machine using antique accounting
methods is an anomalous situation with
interesting implications, not least of which
is that government agencies cannot, or will
not, explain what they are doing with the
money that is appropriated for their
operations by Congress."

they are, throughout the Republican

Regardless of how you look at it, it becomes
clear that these people we call "terrorists"
are not being kept at bay; far from it. They
are running the country. They determine our
civic life. They shape our private life. They
decide how public resources are spent. They
may dictate who gets to be the next
president. It should be obvious that the
government doesn't object. Not at all. The
government benefits, by getting ever more
reason for ever more money and power.

TRIFECTA:
White House Notebook
A Sound Bite So Good, the President Wishes He Had Said It

Before the United States military decimated
Iraq, the neocons at the highly influential
think tanks the American Enterprise Institute
and the Project for the New American Century
were already advising Bush administration
officials, like Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld, on how to overthrow the ruling
parties in Iran, Libya and Syria after the
war in Iraq was over.

Former Democratic Sen. Max Cleland, a close
friend and supporter of presidential
candidate John Kerry, today launched into a
blistering attack against President Bush.

In a conference call with reporters, Cleland
said the president went to war in Iraq
��because he concluded that his daddy was a
failed president�� for not having removed
Saddam Hussein from power after the first
Gulf War. Therefore, Cleland explained, the
younger Bush decided to ��be Mr. Macho
Man�� by removing Saddam himself.

Cleland also said the president ��flat-out
lied�� when he asked Congress to authorize
war in Iraq. ��He told us four things,��
Cleland said, listing Bush��s claims of
Iraq weapons of mass destruction, nuclear
weapons programs, attempts to acquire
yellowcake uranium in Africa, and ties to al
Qaeda. ��All of that was a pack of
lies,�� Cleland said. Both Cleland and
Kerry voted to authorize the war.

The president was permitted to launch the
Iraq war without further advance notice to
Congress under Public Law 107-243, with two
very important conditions:

1. The administration must demonstrate that
all diplomatic means had been exhausted and
that continuing a diplomatic course would
endanger the security of the United States.

2. Invading Iraq must be part of the effort
to find and prosecute those responsible for
the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

These two central conditions were never met.

While the Bush Administration was
exaggerating WMD claims, people in the know
were saying something quite different.

In the first case, the force allegedly aiming
to disrupt the US elections is a foreign
terrorist organization. In the second case,
the force admittedly considering postponement
of the US elections is the US government
itself, acting through Bush appointees in the
Justice Department, the Department of
Homeland Security and the Election Assistance
Commission.

Not only did Shi'ite Iran join the "jihad" in
Bosnia. Even Hezbollah arrived on the scene!
The logistics in Bosnia were handled by the
Pentagon's intelligence operatives. America
used Islamists to arm the Bosnian
Muslims. There are a legion of Hamdam, Hicks,
& other Guantanamo prisoner connections,
which could incriminate those in high places
in both the Clinton and Bush
administrations. If we end up with a John
Kerry administration, don't expect to see
this Guantanamo prison & "military tribunals"
scheme bite the dust."

The administration's attempt to directly
funnel bad intelligence from the Pentagon to
the White House has left Americans less safe
than before.

'"We've had elections in this country when
we were at war, even when we were in civil
war. And we should have the elections on
time. That's the view of the president,
that's the view of the administration," Rice
told CNN on Monday.'

Soaries says, "we have to set some standards
for the suspension of voting." Notice he
doesn't say postponement of voting. He says
suspension.

A Swede released from Guantanamo Bay last
week said he had been tortured by exposure to
freezing cold, noise and bright lights and
chained during his 2-1/2-year imprisonment.

The undermining of the administration's case
for war is potentially a grave threat to
Bush, whose reelection prospects are closely
tied to Americans' view of the merits of the
Iraq war and whether it advances the fight
against terrorism. For that reason, Bush has
delayed a final reckoning on Iraq's forbidden
weapons by naming a commission that will not
report its findings until after the
election. In the meantime, he continues to
assert ties between al Qaeda and Iraq, and to
place blame for any weapons miscalculation
squarely on the CIA.

My own "JFK moment" came in November 2002
with the Israeli-type Hellfire missile
assassination of six men -- one of them an
American citizen -- in Yemen. Nothing has
happened since then to change the impact of
that moment. The media barely mentioned we
were engaging in cold-blooded murder, nor
that President Ford had signed a 1976
executive order banning assassinations that
was, and is, still in force. The media
giggled and nodded when defense secretary
Donald Rumsfeld regaled them with the
surprise "hit," saying he hoped it was the
first of many such successful operations. No
charges, no trial, no evidence, just murder
-- the handiwork of a dictator or a tyrant --
surely not that of an American president.'

That "al-Qaida's top operative" in Yemen, who
"the CIA killed" with a Predator missile was
Kamal Derwish, who would have been the star
witness in the Buffalo Al Qaeda case. He took
the defendents to the Al Farooq training camp
in Afghanistan. This just happens to be a
Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HUM) training camp. HUM
was one of the Al Qaeda groups created by the
CIA, and they have been very useful to the
CIA for the last two decades in Afghanistan,
Bosnia, Kosovo, and other places. Derwish's
testimony would have been most interesting!

Declassified documents reveal that there has
been a constant drumbeat behind closed doors
to invade Saudi Arabia. The Pentagon has, for
three decades, formulated and updated secret
plans to seize Saudi oil wells and rid the
Kingdom of the ruling House of Saud. This is
not only a neoconservative cabal.

In separate comments to The Associated Press,
IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei
avoided specifics on the locations of the
firms supplying the nuclear black market
beyond saying there were "over 20 countries,
some of them in North America."
The diplomat said at least one of them was in
the United States. He declined to elaborate,
saying the agency "was not yet at the bottom
of that story." But he said what is known
about that company sheds new light on the
activities of the network, known up to now
for primarily supplying technology to North
Korea, Libya and Iran as part of the process
allowing them to make enriched uranium that
can be used either to generate electricity or
make weapons.

When the Associated Press published a report
under the headline "CIA Can Kill Citizens Who
Aid Al-Qaida: Bush Doesn't Exempt Americans"
by John J. Lumpkin, on Dec. 4, 2002, Vox
recoiled at the CIA's new powers. He
published an article pointing out that by
this logic, the Bush family could be worthy
of an instant CIA hit themselves. Both
Presidents Bush have had business dealings
with Salem bin Laden, the now-dead,
once-beloved older brother of Osama. They got
to know Salem bin Laden through their Texas
pal James Bath and the Bank of Credit and
Commerce International, the now-busted Saudi
front for buying political power in the
United States.

Stolen Explosives Suspect In Court
Authorities Rule Out Terrorism As Motive

Federal agents say they now know who stole
more than 200 pounds of explosives from a
storage facility, but they don't know why.

Thursday, agents emphasized the theft was not
believed to be terrorist related.

"We do not have information to confirm a
motive," said Marti McKee of the ATF.

"He's not a terrorist," one sheriff's
source said. "He probably was planning to
sell the explosives."

San Mateo County sheriff's officials had
said the thieves had to defeat a series of
locks, fences and alarms to break into the
steel-and-concrete bunkers where the
explosives were stored. On Thursday, however,
Horsley conceded that the alarm system
hadn't been working.

The process of matching the recovered
explosives with those missing from inventory
continued Thursday, and McKee said there was
the possibility of more arrests.

"There are other people we are looking at,"
McKee said. She added that investigators have
not pinned down an alleged motive for the
theft, but do not believe it was terrorism
related.

"It was a stolen van with stolen plates and
we had information that possibly it was
connected to the theft," she said. "We think
we've recovered all of the explosives."

A man was detained by Hayward police but he
was not arrested pending questioning by ATF
agents, McKee said.

Michael Alexander Allan, 46, was taken into
custody for allegedly stealing the explosives
from storage magazines in a depot used by the
San Francisco Police Department and the San
Mateo County Sheriff's office. Allan has no
known address.
...
"There are other people we are looking at,"
McKee said. She added that investigators have
not pinned down an alleged motive for the
theft, but do not believe it was terrorism
related.

Allan was scheduled to be arraigned Friday
morning in an Oakland federal court. He was
being held in federal custody at an Oakland
jail Thursday.

(07-08) 04:06 PDT SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --
Federal officials said Thursday they have
recovered 200 pounds of explosives and
bomb-making materials that were stolen over
the July 4 weekend from a storage locker in
San Mateo County.
...
It was unclear exactly when the explosives
were stolen or who took them. A man was
detained by Hayward police but he was not
arrested pending questioning by ATF agents,
McKee said.

Earlier in the day, authorities said that the
explosives stolen could cause substantial
damage and that the thieves who stole the
materials did so by defeating a series of
fences, locks and alarms.

The thieves had to break into five locked
steel containers to make off with the
explosives belonging to the San Francisco
Police Department and the San Mateo County
Sheriff's Department, authorities said.

The explosives included 30 to 35 pounds of C4
plastic explosive and 114 pounds of military
binary explosives, which combine two
substances to create an explosive device,
McKee said.

The thieves also stole 700 feet of detonation
cord, 75 feet of detonation sheets and 800 to
900 blasting caps, McKee said.

McKee, without commenting on why the public
safety agencies stockpiled the types of
explosives that were stolen, said local
agencies may store similar items for training
bomb squads, field operations or as seized
evidence.

While such reports are rare, they do come in,
McKee said. "We think that there may have
been one other theft at this location" around
1990, she said.

According to McKee, the facility is used by
the San Francisco Police Department and San
Mateo County Sheriff's Department to store
explosives used for officer training or
seized in criminal cases.

Although the FBI has denied it even existed,
the terrorist support network that provided
assistance to Mohamed Atta and his fellow
hijackers remains in place in Florida.

The US military in Afghanistan is confronted

97 legal orders have been enacted by Bremer
which are "binding instructions or directives
to the Iraqi people, "which will last for
years, and which allocate positions
controlling communications, public
broadcasting, securities markets,
investigations into public corruption,
petroleum and virtually every area of
government to people loyal to the occupation
force. One elections law crafted by Bremer
gives a seven-member commission the power to
disqualify political parties and any of the
candidates they support.

Whoever makes up the ��Zarqawi network��,
they act, and are viewed in Iraq, as agent
provocateurs for the US

murder of civilians serves only to confuse
and alienate the tens of millions of people
around the globe who sympathize with the
Iraqi resistance to the American takeover of
their country.

American officials have said that Al Qaeda

Is the US clever enough to rule the world?
By Ian Williams

Will the Iraq debacle cure, or at least
ameliorate, the megalomania that has infected
the foreign policy of the United States?

For an example of how Mr. Ashcroft shuts down
public examination, consider the case of
Sibel Edmonds, a former F.B.I. translator who
says that the agency's language division is
riddled with incompetence and corruption, and
that the bureau missed critical terrorist
warnings. In 2002 she gave closed-door
Congressional testimony; Senator Charles
Grassley described her as "very credible
. . . because people within the F.B.I. have
corroborated a lot of her story."

According to Aziz, the agents told him they'd
singled out his e-mail because he'd used the
words "Bush" and "bin Laden" in the same
sentence. It's a fairly Orwellian
explanation, hinting at a bevy of federal
computers whose sole task is to scrutinize
e-mail word placement.

Rep. David Hobson, R-Ohio, chairman of the
House Energy and Water Appropriations
subcommittee, struck all of the Bush
administration's requests for research on a
high-yield, nuclear bunker buster and other
new and modified nuclear weapons. He also cut
planning money for a plutonium bomb core
factory and for shortening the preparation
time for a nuclear test, in case the
president orders one.

"As commander-in-chief, the president has the
constitutional authority to order
interrogations of enemy combatants to gain
intelligence information concerning the
military plans of the enemy," international
treaties and federal laws notwithstanding.

The unconstitutionality of such a view is
breathtaking. It puts the president above the
law in his capacity as commander in chief in
time of war.

"Torture is only the tip of the iceberg,"
said Roger Normand, an international lawyer
who directs the Center. "From unlawful
killings, mass arrests, and collective
punishment to outright theft and pillage, the
U.S. is violating almost every law intended
to protect civilians living under foreign
military occupation."

In its attacks on Nicaragua, Reagan's
"contra" forces specialised in slitting the
throats of midwives and children as they
slept. In charge of this terrorism was John
Negroponte, US ambassador to Honduras, who,
reported the Baltimore Sun, created and
directed a military unit that "used shock and
suffocation devices in
interrogations. Prisoners often were kept
naked and, when no longer useful, killed and
buried in unmarked graves." George W Bush has
just appointed Negroponte as the first
American "ambassador" to "liberated"
Iraq. You might have thought these matters
were worthy of mention in the Observer -
that, under Reagan, more than 100,000 people
were slaughtered in Central America, and the
United States was distinguished as the only
country ever to have been convicted by the
World Court for acts of terrorism.

Article 2
1. Each State Party shall take effective
legislative, administrative, judicial or
other measures to prevent acts of torture in
any territory under its jurisdiction.

2. No exceptional circumstances whatsoever,
whether a state of war or a threat or war,
internal political instability or any other
public emergency, may be invoked as a
justification of torture.

3. An order from a superior officer or a
public authority may not be invoked as a
justification of torture.

Ronald Reagan's biggest crimes were the
bloody military actions to suppress social
and political change in El Salvador,
Nicaragua, Guatemala and Afghanistan, but I'd
like to deal here with the media's gushing
about Reagan's supposed role in ending the
cold war. In actuality, he prolonged it.

TV news reports in America that showed
President George Bush getting a standing
ovation from potential voters have been
exposed as fake, it has emerged.

The United States has admitted that it was
wrong to report that it was winning the war
on terrorism.

FBI Pigeonholed Agent's Request
Canvassing of Flight Schools
For Al Qaeda Was Rejected

Extrapolating from the "necessity" defense in
criminal law, Bush's lawyers counsel, in
effect, that the end justifies the
means. It's the proverbial ticking time bomb
scenario. Torture the bastard to avert a
terrorist attack. But not only is this
illegal; it doesn't work. Senator John McCain
says the tortured will rarely provide
reliable information. This position has been
affirmed by many of the prisoners released
from Abu Ghraib who said they made up
information to get the torture to stop.

It breaks my heart to hear "they died
defending our freedom" used to eulogize US
service women and men who die in Iraq. Though
all military people I have known have been
very clear about their own personal
dedication to "defending our freedom,"
those who send them into battle often use
that phrase as false advertising, to garner
support for much less noble causes.

superiors were warned about the abuses months
before they were exposed. And the Red Cross
documented widespread abuses in Iraq last
year and raised them with the White House in
January.

So the chain of events seems to have worked
like this: Rules violating the Geneva
Conventions were invented for dealing with
proven terrorists in specific places or
circumstances. But they gradually came to be
applied to hundreds of suspects, many of them
innocent. Military officials said 70% to 90%
of the Iraqis swept up for interrogation were
arrested by mistake, the International
Committee of the Red Cross reported.

Now, more than ever, the United States does
not need a military person as head of Central
Intelligence. Yet, at perhaps no time in
recent history, has the power of the military
establishment been better poised to do just
that.

Assassination is NEVER the instrument of
democracy, but tyranny. There is no consensus
on assassination; no public mandate; it is
the usurping of unauthorized power and a
violation of the government's "sworn"
commitment to operate within the law.

Translator keeps blowing 9-11 whistle on FBI;
U.S. Keeps shutting her up

The CIA issued National Intelligence
Estimates (NIEs) in both 1995 and 1997 that
warned of attacks on US landmarks in
Washington and New York City, and the use of
hijacked airliners. This fact was made public
by CIA officials who spoke to the media in
response to criticisms in the draft report
issued by the staff of the 9/11 commission.

Late last year, Swadi, one of seven female
lawyers now representing women detainees in
Abu Ghraib, began to piece together a picture
of systemic abuse and torture perpetrated by
US guards against Iraqi women held in
detention without charge. This was not only
true of Abu Ghraib, she discovered, but was,
as she put it, "happening all across Iraq".

Inside the heavily guarded Baghdad Convention
Center, Spc. Jeremy Sivits was sentenced
Wednesday to one year in prison and given a
"bad conduct" discharge from the
Army. Meanwhile, outside, several hundred
Iraqis chanted, "Where are human rights?" and
waved banners in protest of a process that
most here see as little satisfaction for the
humiliation so graphically depicted in
pictures taken by American troops.

The second most common response from
historians, trailing only Nixon, was that the
current presidency is the worst in American
history. A few examples will serve to provide
the flavor of such
condemnations. "Although previous
presidents have led the nation into
ill-advised wars, no predecessor managed to
turn America into an unprovoked aggressor. No
predecessor so thoroughly managed to confirm
the impressions of those who already hated
America. No predecessor so effectively
convinced such a wide range of world opinion
that America is an imperialist threat to
world peace. I don 't think that you can do
much worse than that."

Pol Pot killed 1.7 million people. We can't
even deal with that! You know, we think if
somebody kills someone, that's murder, you go
to prison. You kill 10 people, you go to
Texas, they hit you with a brick, that's what
they do. 20 people, you go to a hospital,
they look through a small window at you
forever. And over that, we can't deal with
it, you know? Someone's killed 100,000
people. We're almost going, 'Well done! You
killed 100,000 people? You must get up very
early in the morning. I can't even get down
the gym! Your diary must look odd: "Get up
in the morning, death, death, death, death,
death, death, death &emdash; lunch- death, death,
death - afternoon tea - death, death, death &emdash;

Schroeder, who ruled out any role for German
troops in Iraq even before the U.S.-led
invasion, said Iraqis would probably see
NATO troops as occupiers.

It would be better for Muslim countries to
send a stability force, he said. "They are
better equipped to get the necessary trust"
from Iraqis.

Prison abuse resulted from a memo signed by
Bush: Newsweek

"....The Chief of Safety of the Fire
Department of New York told me
that...er...shortly after 9 o'clock here had
roughly 200 men in the building trying to
effect rescues of some of those civilians who
were in there...er... and that basically he
received word of the possibility of a
secondary device, another bomb going off. He
tried to get his men out as quickly as he
could but he said that there was another
explosion which took place and then an hour
after the first hit here, the first crash
that took place, he said there was another
explosion which took place in one of the
towers here.

Top military officials have claimed the abuse
seen in the photos at Abu Ghraib was limited
to a few MPs, but Provance says the sexual
humiliation of prisoners began as a technique
ordered by the interrogators from military
intelligence.

White House officials say they've got a
"working premise" about terrorism and the
presidential election: It's going to
happen. "We assume," says a top
administration official, "an attack will
happen leading up to the election." And, he
added, "it will happen here."

"Half the movie is about Iraq - we were able
to get film crews embedded with American
troops without them knowing that it was

They are Iraqi civilians, and the Americans
and the British do not bother to keep count
of the people they have "liberated" and then
killed.

This is not usual in modern warfare. In most
past conflicts, attempts were made to keep a
tally of civilian losses. Legal experts say
that, particularly in the case of Iraq, it is
the duty of occupying powers to do so under
the Geneva Conventions.

Israeli link possible in US torture techniques

John Israel, who was identified in the report
as being employed by both CACI International

San Diego, may not have even been a

Israel did not have a security clearance, a

U.S. arranges to detain and interrogate
terror suspects in secret

According to interviews with several past and
present American intelligence officials, the
Pentagon's operation, known inside the
intelligence community by several code words,
including Copper Green, encouraged physical
coercion and sexual humiliation of Iraqi
prisoners in an effort to generate more
intelligence about the growing insurgency in
Iraq.

They then used a character recognition
software to determine the width of the
Arial-font text which provides the number of
letters per unit of length. Simple recourse
to an English dictionary then helped
establish a list of possible words.

"1,530 words corresponded," David Naccache
said. But the article "an" preceding the
mystery word implied that it necessarily
started with a vowel, which made it possible
to reduce the list to 346 words. In French,
an index provided by articles like "un" or
"une," would have narrowed the search in the
same way.

"Hereditary shaman considers that in the
course of 10 years too much negativity has

head of the Committee.

But aside from such chain-of-command
responsibility, the defense chief should bear
a larger blame because of his boisterous
proclamations two years ago that
U.S. treatment of detainees wouldn't be
guided by the Geneva Conventions regarding
prisoners of war. Rumsfeld also arbitrarily
deemed that Army regulations on the
interrogation of prisoners would not be
observed.

President Bush the elder eventually scuttled
battlefield nukes, and Congress made it
illegal to create new "mini-nukes" in 1993
when it passed the Spratt-Furse provision.

The Bush administration is pushing for the
development of new nuclear weapons. The White
House is interested in smaller, more "usable"
nuclear weapons and has asked Congress to
lift the 10-year Spratt-Furse ban on the
development of new "mini-nukes." The Senate
will likely vote next week whether or not to
maintain the ban. Take this opportunity to
tell your senators to oppose new nuclear
weapons: tell them to maintain the
Spratt-Furse law.

''There can be no compromise in this

to the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach
County. ``Our enemy cannot be deterred,
contained, appeased or negotiated with. It
can only be destroyed.''

The Abu Ghraib prison scandal is being spun
as the misdeeds of a small number of immoral
individuals, not the outcome of systemic
policies and practices that teach and
encourage psychological abuse and
torture. This conflicts with the findings of
the military's own report.

In a blunt exchange between a Democratic
senator and the nation's No. 2 general,
Gen. Peter Pace said that if an American were
required to squat, bag over head, arms
extended upward, naked in cell block for 45
minutes it would breach the Geneva
Conventions governing the treatment of
prisoners in times of war.

As it turns out, our military intelligence
officers in Iraq have told the Red Cross that
between 70 and 90 percent of the persons in
Iraqi jails were arrested "by mistake", and
so are being tortured "by mistake".

"I failed to recognize how important it was
to elevate a matter of such gravity to the
highest levels, including the president and
members of Congress," Rumsfeld said.

The use of any of these techniques requires
the approval of senior Pentagon officials
and, in some cases, of the defence secretary,
according to the report.

The US military has said it will investigate
claims by a former inmate of Abu Ghraib
prison that a girl as young as 12 was
stripped and beaten by military personnel.

"This is no different than what happens at
the Skull and Bones initiation, and we're

Since the whole attack on Iraq is illegal,

they are just following their usual pattern
of obeying illegal orders.

Abraham Lincoln was the first to conscript
nationally, complete with a buyout option for
draftees -- resulting in an angry outcry
from Northern population centers. Woodrow
Wilson enacted the Selective Service Act of
1917. He ordered doughboy draftees to Europe
with far less trouble. Franklin Roosevelt
began conscription in 1940. Most Americans
did not resist the draft and the employment
it offered, and patiently supported it long
after World War II ended. Thirty-three years
later, Nixon quietly discontinued the draft.

You won't hear half of the atrocities and
stories because Iraqis are proud, indignant
people and sexual abuse is not a subject
anyone is willing to come forward with. The
atrocities in Abu Ghraib and other places
will be hidden away and buried under all the

Possible war crimes attributable to Bush date
back to the conflict's earliest days. For
one, Bush ordered the bombing of a Baghdad
restaurant -- a civilian target --
because he thought Hussein might have been
having dinner there. As it turned out,
Hussein wasn't among the clientele, but
the attack killed 14 civilians, including
seven children. One mother collapsed when

While a hegemon is the dominant power, in an
unequal distribution of power, its power is
not generated by coercion alone, but also by
consent among its allied powers. This is
because the hegemon is compelled to perform
certain services to the allies such as
military security or regulating world markets
for the benefit of the larger group, itself
included. An imperial power has no such
obligations to allies, and not the freedom
for such, only the raw dictates of how to
hold on to its declining power -- what some
call 'imperial overstretch'. This is the
world which neo-conservative hawks around
Rumsfeld and Cheney are suggesting America
has to dominate, with a policy of pre-emptive
war.

Petition the New York Times to
answer ten reasonable questions.

It was Soros who saved George W. Bush's bacon
when his management of an oil exploration
company was ending in failure. Soros was the
owner of Harken Energy Corporation, and it
was he who bought the rapidly depreciating
stocks just prior to the company's
collapse. The future president cashed out at
almost one million dollars. Soros said he did
it to buy "political influence." 15 Soros is
also a partner in the infamous Carlyle
Group. Organized in 1987, "the world's
largest private equity firm" with over twelve
billion dollars under management, is run by
"a veritable who's who of former Republican
leaders," from CIA man Frank Carlucci to CIA
head George Bush, Sr. The Carlyle Group makes
most of its money from weapons expenditures.

While the events of September 11, 2001, have
been used to justify increased military
intervention and federal power, these same
events are the very reason why the idea of
such increases should be vetoed.

Unlike the constitutions of other countries,
even those modeled after or copied from our
constitution, there are no clauses that allow
for the suspension of the constitution in
times of emergency.

The 38 year old Texas woman who, last
December, filed a sexual assault lawsuit
against President Bush was found in
September, murdered by a gunshot wound to the
head. A Republican coroner of Harris County,
loyal to George Bush ruled the murder a
"suicide."

Bush pulled out of a speech to the European
Parliament when MEPs wouldn't guarantee a
standing ovation.

Sir David found wife Lady Carina, 50,
unconscious on the floor of their Chelsea
home after arriving back from a US interview

However, experts say, usable nukes would be
far from environmentally safe. Bunker-busting
bombs would explode close to the surface of
their targets, spreading radioactivity
through an explosion of dust and causing the
death of tens of thousands of people if
dropped on urban areas.

The bill also seeks to prohibit people from
gathering photographic or videotaped evidence
of illegal or harmful activities, effectively
shutting down the camcorders and other tools
used by 21st-century protesters.

"We have actually experienced in recent months
a dramatic demonstration of an unprecedented
intelligence failure, perhaps the most
significant intelligence failure in the
history of the United States. That failure
was contributed to and was compensated for by
extremist demagogy which emphasizes the worst
case scenarios which stimulates fear, which
induces a very simple dichotomic view of
world reality."
-- Zbigniew Brzezinski, 28 October, 2003

"Our commercial interests and foreign policy
are no longer separate...as bad as it is that
average Americans are forced to subsidize
such a system, we additionally are placed in
greater danger because of our arrogant policy
of bombing nations that do not submit to our
wishes. This generates hatred directed toward
America ...and exposes us to a greater threat
of terrorism, since this is the only vehicle
our victims can use to retaliate against a
powerful military state...the cost in terms
of lost liberties and unnecessary exposure to
terrorism is difficult to assess, but in
time, it will become apparent to all of us
that foreign interventionism is of no benefit
to American citizens, but instead is a threat
to our liberties."

The divide between rich and poor Americans
sees the richest one percent owning more
wealth than the bottom 95%. This division is
mirrored with the relationship between large
corporate CEO salaries and average employee
wages, which has now reached the criminal
ratio of 500 to 1. America's 13,000
wealthiest families receive an income that is
almost equal to what the poorest 20 million
families earn.
Worst of all, bin Mahfouz
allegedly has been financing the

network — making Bush a

Saudis attempted to transfer $3
million to various bin Laden front
operations in Saudi Arabia in
1999.

Many scientists believe that
earth-penetrating nuclear weapons will
never be feasible. Current technology
limits earth penetration to about 50
feet; a low-yield weapon exploded at
that depth would do no harm to a deep

spewing tons of radioactive rock and
soil.

"Basically what the CIA operatives were able
to provide was detailed information on bids
made by foreign companies on projects of
interest to Enron. "They used human
intelligence and also info gleaned from a
satellite project called 'Echelon.' The
satellites intercepted e-mails, phone calls
and faxes with detailed business information.

"With this information, Enron was able to put
pressure on foreign governments through
powerful figures in the
U.S. government. Enron could easily go to a
local authority in, for example, Saudi Arabia
or India, and say, 'Our government is not
going to be happy with you unless Enron gets
the contract.' "

First Class Jessica Lynch. All news
shows are busy interviewing her family
members -- and the families of other
prisoners and missing in Iraq.

It is wonderful news -- and a good
sign that our nation cares so
passionately about our missing
troops. But our government wants us to
forget other POWs left behind -- from
the Vietnam War, the Cold War and even
from the first Gulf War.

...After defeating Iraq the United
States would "deal with" Iran, Syria and
North Korea. So that's the plan:
Tomorrow the world.

"In effect, he bought their allegiance by
offering food, vital materials, money
and in particular, the opportunity for
them to exercise new influence.

The tribes were able to run their areas
like fiefdoms, all the while working as
cogs of the state.

They were given authority over security,
police forces, the justice system and
tax collection and the scope to operate
beyond their traditional areas of
control into major cities including
Baghdad.

Exempted from military service, the men
of the tribes received light arms and
means of transportation and
communication to allow them to help
Saddam Hussein crush any domestic
unrest."

The heart of the matter is the
following. If the war against Iraq is
launched, then this will mean that the
United States will turn into the centre
of a global empire, where Washington
will decide the fates of governments,
divide up the riches of foreign
economies and impose democracy in its
own, American sense of the word.

This is by no means improvisation, as
some observers might think. The war will
be the embodiment of a concept of US
world domination worked out over ten
years by the very same ambitious and
energetic people who now occupy key
posts in George Bush's administration.
