It's guilty until proven innocent for U.S. Muslim charities
In the months following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the
United States government launched its "global war on terror" by rounding up
thousands of "Middle Eastern-looking" men and women, throwing them in jail
without charges or access to lawyers, accusing none of them of
terror-related crimes, convicting no one, and ending up deporting some for
non-criminal immigration violations.
At about the same time, the government opened up a second front against
charitable organizations providing financial or other material assistance
to groups the government designates as "terrorist." While the campaign
applies to all domestic nonprofit organizations, the lion's share of
scrutiny, suspicion, and pre-emptive action has fallen on Muslim groups.

9/11: Seminary Hosts Teach-In On Torture
Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, an outspoken critic of the Bush
administration's use of intelligence to justify the Iraq war, told clergy
members Wednesday that the United States' use of torture on prisoners in
its custody amounts to war crimes.
"Let's not mince words - the U.S. has launched a war of aggression, which
is a violation of international law," McGovern said at an interfaith
"teach-in" at Hartford Seminary. "Rendering, kidnapping, all the deceit
that has gone on with this war - it's far from rotten apples at the bottom
of the barrel; these rotten apples are at the very top."
Reclaiming the Prophetic Voice, an interfaith group of clergy opposed to
the war, invited McGovern to the teach-in, called "Torture is a Religious
Issue." It was intended to help clergy devise a strategy to bring greater
public awareness of torture against war prisoners.

9/11: The questions that "United 93" can't answer
why wasn't there any mention of a debris field 8 miles long. That doesn't
bode well for the theory that the plane did a nose dive into the ground as
they would have us believe. just look at the physical evidence. that plane
was shot down and it took a while for it to finally come down hence the
debris being found so far from the crash site. wake up !!!!!!!!!!

Long Live The 9/11 Conspiracy! Anyone still care about the heap of
disturbing, unsolved questions surrounding Our Great Tragedy?
Verily, Jacobson, in his New York mag piece, encounters crackpots and
fringe nutballs and those who think Sept. 11 was connected to aliens and
electromagnetic fields and the Illuminati. It can, unfortunately, get a
little crazy. But there is also a very smart, grounded, intelligent and
surprisingly large faction -- which includes eyewitnesses, Sept. 11 widows,
former generals, pilots, professors, engineers, WTC maintenance workers and
many, many more -- who point to a rather shocking pile of evidence that
says there is simply no way 19 fanatics with box cutters sent by some
bearded lunatic in a cave could have pulled off the most perfectly
orchestrated air attack of the century. Not without serious help, anyway.

Why Do So Many Americans Hate America?
No matter where one turns these days, it seems impossible to avoid negative
news stories about President Bush and his mission to bring peace and
freedom to the people of Iraq. All too often the liberal media, which has
wanted our troops to fail from the start, has reported only the bad things
happening while completely avoiding all of the positives. For instance,
while 30 people may have burned to death in a Baghdad market as the result
of an ongoing wave of sectarian violence, what about all the people that
did not erupt in flames or watch a cherished loved one agonizingly die
before their eyes shouldnt the media cover them as well? Furthermore, in
their ongoing war against America and its values, liberals and others of
dubious patriotism have even gone so far as to question our leaders
policies and conduct in a time of war a clear act of treason. The
presidents critics must realize that he is only doing what is best for
America, and questions are best saved for the end of the conflict, which,
as Vice-President Cheney has told us, should be in just a few short
generations.

Taking the President to Court
As some of you may be aware, according to the President and Congressional
Republicans, a bill does not have to pass both the Senate and the House to
become a law. Forget your sixth grade civics lesson, forget the book they
give you when you visit Congress - "How Our Laws Are Made," and forget
Schoolhouse Rock. These are checks and balances, Republican-style.

Projected Iraq War Costs Soar
The cost of the war in Iraq will reach $320 billion after the expected
passage next month of an emergency spending bill currently before the
Senate, and that total is likely to more than double before the war ends,
the Congressional Research Service estimated this week.
Once the war spending bill is passed, military and diplomatic costs will
have reached $101.8 billion this fiscal year, up from $87.3 billion in
2005, $77.3 billion in 2004 and $51 billion in 2003, the year of the
invasion, congressional analysts said. Even if a gradual troop withdrawal
begins this year, war costs in Iraq and Afghanistan are likely to rise by
an additional $371 billion during the phaseout, the report said, citing a
Congressional Budget Office study. When factoring in costs of the war in
Afghanistan, the $811 billion total for both wars would have far exceeded
the inflation-adjusted $549 billion cost of the Vietnam War.
