Built over the grotto where the archangel Gabriel is supposed to have revealed to Mary that she was bearing the son of God, the Basilica is one of Christianity's holiest sites. As local people streamed into the church's walled-off courtyard, they learnt that three intruders had detonated a series of small explosions inside the building at 5.30pm, during a special ceremony for Lent. http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article4535.shtml === Protecting Torture: The Red Cross' Deadly Silence By promising confidentiality to the occupying and imprisoning powers the International Committee of the Red Cross monitors the fate of prisoners of war that no other organization can reach from Guantanamo Bays Camp X-ray, to Abu Ghraib and even the many Israeli detention centers in occupied Palestine. Here, Rafeef Ziadah questions whether the ICRCs monitoring efforts help prisoners or protect those who violate prisoners human rights. http://www.leftturn.org/Articles/Viewer.aspx?id=765&type=M === FREE SPEECH ON THE RUN IN THE WEST Much of Europe has painted itself into a corner on the censorship issue. What can Norway say to pro-censorship Muslims when it already has a hate speech law forbidding, among other things, "publicly stirring up one part of the population against another," or any utterance that "threatens, insults or subjects to hatred, persecution or contempt any person or group of persons because of their creed, race, color or national or ethnic origin ... or homosexual bent"? No insulting utterances at all? Since most strong opinions can be construed as insulting (hurting someone's feelings), no insults means no free speech. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucjl/20060306/cm_ucjl/freespeechontheruninthewest;_ylt=A86.I2qT7AtEYBIA3Qz9wxIF;_ylu=X3oDMTBjMHVqMTQ4BHNlYwN5bnN1YmNhdA-- === US Troops on Spy Missions All Over the World TEAMS of special operations troops are reportedly being placed in a growing number of American embassies in unstable parts of the world to gather intelligence on terrorists. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,18391555%255E663,00.html === At last, the warmongers are prepared to face the facts and admit they were wrong It has taken more than three years, tens of thousands of Iraqi and American lives, and $200bn (£115bn) of treasure - all to achieve a chaos verging on open civil war. But, finally, the neo-conservatives who sold the United States on this disastrous war are starting to utter three small words.

And yet this is just one thread within an elaborate web of lies and deceit initiated by the Bush administration years ago. http://www.arabnews.com/?page=7§ion=0&article=78903&d=8&m=3&y=2006&pix=opinion.jpg&category=Opinion === ARE YOU LISTENING, MR.

You don't have a government with the power to establish or maintain order. What you have is a nominal government that can only stay in power because the Americans are there. http://tinyurl.com/gxdte === Academics become casualties of Iraq War Gunmen have killed some 182 Iraqi university professors and academics since the U.S. invasion in early 2003.

On average there are 175,000 new cases of lung cancer each year in the United States. For just the months of January and February 2006 there are 172,000 confirmed, newly diagnosed cases of lung cancer. This is not just a little spike on the charts and much worse news is coming. That is already averaging this year about 6 times the normal incidence of new lung cancer cases in a year. http://www.rense.com/general69/soar.htm === Rumsfeld: Iraqis Would Deal With Civil War "The plan is to prevent a civil war, and to the extent one were to occur, to have the from a security standpoint have the Iraqi security forces deal with it, to the extent they are able to," Rumsfeld told the committee. "Obviously, it's not realistic to depend on the Iraqi security forces, which are not yet able to fight on their own," Kennedy said. "So, Secretary Rumsfeld is basically saying that if the prevention strategy fails and Iraq plunges into civil war, U.S. troops will inevitably be deeply involved." Translation: The U.
