bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Silence in class University professors denounced for anti-Americanism; schoolteachers suspended for their politics; students encouraged to report on their tutors. Are US campuses in the grip of a witch-hunt of progressives, or is academic life just too liberal? After the screenwriter Walter Bernstein was placed on the blacklist during the McCarthyite era he said his life "seemed to move in ever-decreasing circles". "Few of my friends dropped away but the list of acquaintances diminished," he wrote in Inside Out, a memoir of the blacklist. "I appeared contaminated and they did not want to risk infection. They avoided me, not calling as they had in the past, not responding to my calls, being nervously distant if we met in public places." http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1746227,00.html see also: In the name of Free speech: http://www.frontlineonnet.com/stories/20060407001107800.htm === 9/11: Did Dead-eye Dick do it? Dr. Robert Bowman, a man so decorated with medals and honors they could fill a patriotic Christmas tree, has joined the ranks of those who are declaring that the attacks on 9/11 were an inside job. As right wing world comes tumbling down, more prominent individuals are coming forward with their doubts and concerns with the official report. Some have little more than the powers of their own deduction, others are expert engineers and physicists. Dr. Bowman has inside knowledge of military protocal, and has stated that it is apparent to him that the massive military exercises that took place on September 11, 2001 were intentionally staged to confuse civil defenses. The person who headed those exercises? None other then Richard Cheney, otherwise known as Dead-eye Dick. http://www.choicechanges.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=521 === No Guidelines on Empty No Torture Promises Council of Europe Rejects Minimum Standards for Diplomatic Assurances Human Rights Watch - (New York, April 3, 2006) A Council of Europe expert group has rightly decided not to develop guidelines for the acceptable use of diplomatic assurances to justify sending people to places where they are at risk of torture, Human Rights Watch said today. The assumption that legally unenforceable assurances could ever provide effective safeguards against torture is dangerous, and Human Rights Watch called on the Council of Europe to reject altogether reliance on diplomatic assurances in such cases. http://hrw.org/english/docs/2006/04/03/eu13110_txt.htm === FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Reaction to Padilla Case: 'Enemy Combatants' Category Unconstitutional Amnesty International Disappointed that Supreme Court Will Not Consider Padilla Case (Washington, DC) - Statement of Curt Goering, Senior Deputy Executive Director for Policy and Programs for Amnesty International USA, following today's Supreme Court decision not to hear Jose Padilla's appeal challenging the 4th Circuit's decision that the President had authority to hold Padilla as an 'enemy combatant': http://www.commondreams.org/news2006/0403-05.htm === When vigilance undermines freedom of speech Vigilance can be carried too far. Having denounced American academics for supposedly making anti-semitic statements, the Anti-Defamation League last year levelled a similar charge at faculty in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. There is something peculiarly Kafkaesque about the idea of an American Jewish watchdog monitoring Israel for anti-semitism, yet once the mechanism and mindset exist, this is where the logic of vigilance leads: anti-semitism may be found anywhere. In fact, the intellectual climate in Israel is tougher-minded than in the US and the authorities at the Hebrew University simply took no notice. But brandishing the big stick of anti-semitism against all and sundry helps no one: it lumps together serious critique with crackpot ravings, does a signal disservice to those who really suffered from it in the past and stifles a badly needed debate within the US. There is no reason why the partnership between the US and Israel should not be susceptible to the same kind of cost-benefit analysis as any other area of policy. After all, no special relationship lasts forever: ask the Brits. http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net === Returning to the Scene of the Crime: War Crimes in Iraq http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040406L.shtml === When War Crimes Are Impossible http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040406B.shtml === DELUDED After the fall of Baghdad, three years ago, the United States military began a secret investigation of the decision-making within Saddam Husseins dictatorship. The study, carried out by the U.S. Joint Forces Command, drew on captured documents and interviews with former Baath Party officials and Iraqi military officers, and when it was completed, last year, it was delivered to President Bush. The full work remains classified, but Cobra II, a recently published book about the early phases of the war, by the Times reporter Michael Gordon and Lieutenant General Bernard Trainor, has disclosed parts of the study, and the Pentagon has released declassified sections, which Foreign Affairs has posted on its Web site. Reading them, it is easy to imagine why the Administration might resist publication of the full study. The extracts describe how the Iraq invasion, more than any other war in American history, was a construct of delusion. Frustratingly, however, we now understand much more about the textures of fantasy in Saddams palaces in early 2003 than we do about the self-delusions then prevalent in the West Wing. http://www.newyorker.com/printables/talk/060403ta_talk_coll === US-British diktat makes mockery of democracy in Iraq The unannounced trip by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw to Iraq over the past two days has again underscored who is calling the shots in Iraq. For all of the Bush administrations empty rhetoric about democracy in Iraq, it is the White House rather than the votes of Iraqis that will decide the shape of the next government in Baghdad. http://mparent7777.livejournal.com/7506979.html === The enemies of a free Iraq For three years in Iraq, the United States has worked to legitimize formerly exiled Shiite politicians and to marginalize Sunni Arabs. Now the U.S. ambassador has finally acknowledged that more Iraqis are being killed by Shiite militias than by Sunnis, and the U.S. has withdrawn its support for Transitional Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari. Are you confused? Let me explain. The enemies of a free Iraq are employing the same tactics Saddam used, killing and terrorizing the Iraqi people in an effort to foment sectarian division --George W. Bush, 3/29/2006 http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_660.shtml === Is it still worth it? Listening to an interview with the US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, this morning on the Today programme, I felt physically sick, especially when she said: "Thousands of mistakes were committed in Iraq". I couldn't listen to the rest of her sentence; was she about to echo Madeleine Albright's "but the price is worth it"? http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m22227&hd=0&size=1&l=e === Iraq illusions shattered, with a terrible cost What's the underlying message of the frenzied commotion over establishing a government in Iraq? http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.price04apr04,0,3458681.story === West accused of fiddling figures on Iraq aid Britain and other Western nations are using huge debt write-offs to Iraq to boost development aid statistics and give a misleading impression of their generosity to the Third World, campaigners say. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article355603.ece === British Secretary Wants Geneva Review http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/world/AP-Britain-Terrorism.html === How Massacres Become the Norm Posted Apr 4, 2006 09:01 AM PST - Category: IRAQ http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040406Z.shtml === Movies of the Iraqi Resistance http://www.uploading.com/?get=O0JPNJ8Y http://www.uploading.com/?get=A5TEEAZL http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3AQLOJF3 http://storeandserve.com/download/176422/06.rar.html http://www.verzend.be/d/8431211/1144151761/06.rmvb http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KDL5GT0H http://www.verzend.be/v/1765873/2.rmvb.html http://www.merkaz00.com/snooopy/bagdad20041115.rm === Is US Planning More Attacks on Shi'ite Militias? Is US Planning More Attacks on Shi'ite Militias? Last week's attack by U.S.-led Iraqi paramilitary forces on a building that Shi'ite leaders claim was a mosque may have marked the beginning of a new stage of U.S. policy in which Iraqi forces are used to carry out military operations against Shi'ite militia forces especially those loyal to Moqtada al-Sadr. However, such a strategy risks uniting the Shi'ites against the U.S. military occupation and leading to a showdown that makes that presence politically untenable. http://www.antiwar.com/orig/porter.php?articleid=8801 === US Death Toll in Iraq Jumps http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/International/2006/04/04/1518670-sun.html === 10 US soldiers killed in Iraq http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/iraq/?id=16148 === Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Monday, 3 April 2006 * Three Resistance organizations battle US, puppet forces in fierce combat in ar-Ramadi late Monday afternoon.

Abbas was not there at the time. http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_news&Number=294538548#Post294538548 === Iranian crisis is inevitable result of Israel's US-backed WMD monopoly in the region If one side in a conflict goes nuclear, the other is bound to follow suit. The Iranian crisis can only be understood as the inevitable result of Israel's US-backed WMD monopoly in the region There is widespread international agreement that Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons is an alarming prospect, but very little attention is paid to the most obvious, immediate reason why: that there is already a Middle Eastern nuclear power, Israel, insistent on preserving its monopoly. http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1746091,00.html === Oregon Suit Tests Bush Wiretaps http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040406O.shtml === Suggest a 9-11 show to Oprah!
