bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === 9/11: Downing Street acknowledges its role in US plot of kidnapping civilians and sending them to torture British airports handled 73 CIA flights Aircraft suspected of being used by the CIA for "extraordinary rendition" - the practice of sending detainees to camps, including Guantánamo Bay, where they were at risk of being tortured - passed through British airports on 73 occasions since 2001, the government disclosed yesterday. They included an aircraft which left the Afghan capital Kabul and landed in Edinburgh in November 2002 before continuing its journey to Washington. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1733726,00.html see also: http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/rendition/0,,1662557,00.html === Why Many Media Oulets and NGO's Stay Silent The military-industrial complex is elephantine, yet it is rarely taken into account by political commentators. Connected to almost everything, it is one reason why the home front sustains our aggressive, illegal, military interventions and occupations throughout the world. Many good people are in thrall to the military-industrial complex, and consequently are silenced, unwilling to become active opponents. These include liberals, social justice advocates, and even professional soldiers who question our illegal interventions. There are, of course, some protesters in our nation, but not enough to make militarism the main issue in Congressional and Presidential elections, or to give the subject much visibility on a daily basis. http://www.counterpunch.org/roelofs01252006.html === If Bush ruled the world PARIS Intellectual poverty is the most striking quality of the Bush administration's new National Security Strategy statement, issued on Thursday. Its overall incoherence, its clichés and stereotyped phraseology give the impression that Stephen Hadley, the national security adviser, and his fellow authors assembled it from the boilerplate of bureaucratic discourse with contempt for the Congress to whom it is primarily addressed. It reveals the administration's foreign policy as a lumpy stew of discredited neoconservative ideas with some neo- Kissingerian geopolitics now mixed in. The statement's only visible purpose is to address a further threat to Iran, as its predecessor, in 2002, threatened Iraq. The only actual "strategy" that can be deduced from it is that the Bush administration wishes to rule the world. The document is nonsensical in content, insulting to other nations and unachievable in declared intention. http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/03/19/news/edoped.php === Killing Children: The My Lai phase of the Iraq war What goes through George Bushs mind when he sees the dead bodies of Iraqi women and children loaded on the back of a pickup truck like garbage? Is there ever a flicker of remorse; a split-second when he fully grasps the magnitude of the horror he has created? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12404.htm === Before and After Abu Ghraib, a U.S. Unit Abused Detainees The story of detainee abuse in Iraq is a familiar one. But the following account of Task Force 6-26, based on documents and interviews with more than a dozen people, offers the first detailed description of how the military's most highly trained counterterrorism unit committed serious abuses. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12403.htm === C.I.A. DEATH SQUADS The U.S. government has systematic links to Guatemalan Army death squad operations that go far beyond the disclosures that have recently shaken official Washington. The news that the C.I.A. employed a Guatemalan colonel who reportedly ordered two murders has been greeted with professions of shock and outrage. But in fact the story goes much deeper, as U.S. officials well know. http://www.albasrah.net/en_articles_2006/0306/allan_190306.htm === "God protect us from the fourth year" In the last weeks alone, thousands have died in senseless violence and the American and Iraqi army bomb Samarra as I write this. The sad thing isnt the air raid, which is one of hundreds of air raids weve seen in three years- its the resignation in the people. They sit in their homes in Samarra because theres no where to go. Before, wed get refugees in Baghdad and surrounding areas Now, Baghdadis themselves are looking for ways out of the city out of the country. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12405.htm === A light fades over Samarra "Whether you are Sunni or Shia, Arab or Kurd, there is no difference between Iraqis," said the Iraqi war correspondent. "[We are] united in fear for this nation." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002874782_iraqjournalist19.html === Children of Abraham: Death in the Desert What happened in the village of Isahaqi, north of Baghdad, on Ides of March? The murk of war the natural blur of unbuckled event, and its artificial augmentation by professional massagers shrouds the details of the actual operation. But here is what we know. http://www.chris-floyd.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=550&Itemid=1 === Children Of War Three-year Iraq conflict leaves emotional casualties close to home http://www.dispatch.com/news-story.php?story=dispatch/2006/03/19/20060319-A1-01.html === "Trapped in between life and death" "It's kind of like being trapped in between life and death. I'm alive and conscious, but God, I can't do nothing for myself," Brandon says. "There are days I just wish I was dead." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002874787_quadsoldier19m.html === Video: Fighting erupts in Ramadi "They shelled houses and set them ablaze. We found burned children inside the house. God will damn them (the US soldiers)," said an unidentified eye witness who was standing near the burned out house. http://today.reuters.com/tv/videoStory.aspx?isSummitStory=false&storyId=48ce4f0bd682d57cccf62f6f6ae84171c0019965 === Pictures: Antiwar Protest Marches From Around The World http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news?p=ANTIWAR+PROTEST&fr=&c=news_photos === Iraq occupation: Three years on and still they're lying to us As global protests mark the day the invasion began, Raymond Whitaker examines the latest example of the self-delusion and spin that have characterised the occupation Hundreds of American and Iraqi troops are engaged this weekend in Operation Swarmer, described as "the largest air assault operation" since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. But yesterday, as protesters marched in dozens of cities around the world to mark the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, it became clear that this "assault" was little more than a propaganda exercise. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article352193.ece === Soldiers going Awol have trebled since the invasion of Iraq The number of soldiers absconding from the British Army has trebled since the invasion of Iraq, raising fears that the military is facing a crisis in morale. Yeah, realizing that the war is based on a lie and that they are the bad guys is a real morale killer. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article352181.ece === Sharpshooter Is Florida's 100th Killed in Iraq http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/palmbeach/sfl-pcsilva18mar18,0,3023068.story === More US Soldiers Killed as Sweep Continues http://www.freenewmexican.com/news/40977.html === Iraq War Vets Cope With Brain Damage http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11882164/site/newsweek/ === Norway (ME) Soldier Dies in Iraq http://www.wmtw.com/news/8023533/detail.html === Family Recalls Active Boy, Brave Man (GA) http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060315/NEWS01/60314038/1001 === Hawaii Marine Killed in Iraq http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060315/NEWS08/603150347/1001/NEWS === Mount Airy (NC) Soldier Killed http://www.journalnow.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WSJ%2FMGArticle%2FWSJ_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1137834725234&path=&s= === 'He Died a Hero' (NC) http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060314/NEWS01/60313062/1001 === Fairmount (IN) Soldier Killed in Action http://www.theheraldbulletin.com/cnhi/heraldbulletin/homepage/local_story_073225432.html?keyword=leadpicturestory === Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Saturday, 18 March 2006 * Resistance bomb in al-Qaim reportedly kills US soldier Saturday morning. * US soldier reported killed in Resistance bombing in ar-Ramadi. * Resistance sharpshooter reportedly kills US soldier near notorious Abu Ghurayb prison. * US forces expand area of operations south towards ad-Duluiyah and west towards ath-Tharthar, after arresting hundreds of local people in vicinity of Samarra.

Dependent on imports of flour, the 1.2 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, the most crowded place on earth in terms of population to land area, are now facing an unprecedented food crisis due to Israeli closures that have prevented the import of the grain. http://www.imemc.org/content/view/17401/1/ === Zionists Murder Another Palestinian Baby See photo at: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/060317/481/jem10503172125 === AP Erases Video of Israeli Soldier Shooting Palestinian Boy In the midst of journalism's "Sunshine Week"--during which the Associated Press and other news organizations are valiantly proclaiming the public's "right to know"--AP insists on conducting its own activities in the dark, and refuses to answer even the simplest questions about its system of international news reporting. Most of all, it refuses to explain why it erased footage of an Israeli soldier intentionally shooting a Palestinian boy. http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=4291 === Israel, Britain and the USA's abhorrent act in Jericho It was obhorrent because it was an election gimmick by the amoral Israeli acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for which three Palestinians were killed http://www.redress.btinternet.co.uk/uavnery151.htm === Taliban kill 15 in Afghanistan At least nine policemen, a former governor, his four companions and a security guard were killed in separate attacks in Afghanistan blamed on the Taliban, Afghan officials said on Saturday http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2006%5C03%5C19%5Cstory_19-3-2006_pg7_34 === Ninety-three years of bombing the Arabs The explanation on the increasingly rare occasions that one is given is always that these are precision strikes against terrorists (newspeak for resistance fighters), but the injured that reach the hospitals and the bodies that turn up in the town morgues are largely women and children. http://www.brushtail.com.au/july_04_on/bombing_arabs_history.html === Ask yourself, am I a thug?
