9/11 : Guantanamo prisoners won't be moved to US: White House
Criticism of the treatment of detainees has led to international calls to close Guantanamo, where three prisoners committed suicide on June 10. The White House says Guantanamo cannot be closed until its prisoners are either repatriated or tried.
So what happens if they are neither repatriated or tried? Untried, unconvicted, yet serving a life sentence?

Dictatorship : Generalissimo Bush - A Clear And Present Danger To The Republic
The major crisis facing American democracy and its long-standing Republican form of government, especially the carefully crafted tri-partite separation of powers into executive, judicial and legislative, is at root the result of the deliberate conflation by President Bush and Vice President Cheney of the title commander in chief with the concept of generalissimo--a role exemplified by such benighted leaders as Mussolini and Franco in Europe, Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan, and a host of Latin American dictators.

War Crime : Amnesty accuses Algeria of torture

Iraq : "Packing It In"
Lovely to watch how people like Cheney, and the minions who support his ilk, conveniently forget that there was no terrorism in Iraq prior to the US invasion/occupation. And one must love his "logic." For according to Cheney, "whether we complete the job or not in Iraq" his beloved "terrorism" will "continue" ... "only it'll get worse."

Newsweek's Man in Baghdad: Iraq Is "Doomed," Bush "Manages the News"
Rod Nordland, the chief foreign correspondent for Newsweek magazine and their Baghdad bureau chief from 2003 to 2005, gave an interview to Foreign Policy magazine in which he declared that "It's a lot worse over here [in Iraq] than is reported. The administration does a great job of managing the news." He claimed individual reporters have been "blacklisted" because the military wasn't happy with their stories while they were embedded. He also suggested many in the military don't want to see how awful it is in Iraq because they're wishful thinkers, they don't want to see a "doomed enterprise," and are "victims of their own propaganda."

Israeli Savagery in Gaza
People and governments of the world would be wise to heed the words of Pope Paul IV, "If you want peace, work for justice". As long as Israel is committed to ethnic cleansing, Palestinians will continue to fight for their survival.And what sane, honest and moral human being can truly blame them? Bishop Desmond Tutu once said: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."

Israel bars Palestinian Americans for first time since 1967
For the first time since 1967, Israel is preventing the entry of Palestinians with foreign citizenship, most of them Americans. Most of those refused entry are arriving from abroad, but have lived and worked for years in the West Bank. The Interior Ministry and Civil Administration made no formal announcement about a policy change, leaving returnees to discover the situation when they reach the border crossings.
This is our "friend", banning Americans.

FLASHBACK: Israeli Professor:
An Israeli professor and military historian hinted that Israel could avenge the holocaust by annihilating millions of Germans and other Europeans.
Speaking during an interview which was published in Jerusalem Friday, Professor Martin Van Crevel said Israel had the capability of hitting most European capitals with nuclear weapons.
"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets of our air force."

His daughter-in-law miscarries her child, the little girl Farah is moderately injured and the baby of the family, Khaled, is critically injured in the head. A puddle of blood collects on the floor.

Rafah had no electricity because the army would not allow the UN to fix a minor fault, while the rest of Gaza had electricity for six hours a day.

Chemical warfare: Inside Britain's toxic house of horrors
Servicemen were deliberately subjected to lethal doses of poison in secret tests atPorton Down, an official report will admit this week.
The long-delayed "historical survey" of Porton Down finds that at least five sets of trials "may not have met the ethical standards required," The Independent on Sunday has learnt. They include one trial in which drops of a poison were placed on the skin of volunteers at a dosage level believed at the time to be fatal.
It is striking the extent to which these individuals were considered 'disposable' by their government.
