Guantanamo prisoners say Arabs, Muslims sold by Pakistanis to Americans
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - Pakistani tribesmen slaughtered a sheep in honour of their guests: Arabs and Chinese Muslims famished from fleeing U.S. bombing in the Afghan mountains.
But their hosts had ulterior motives: to sell them to the Americans, said the men who are now prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
Bounties ranged from $3,000 to $25,000 US, the detainees testified during military tribunals, said transcripts the U.S. government gave The Associated Press to comply with a Freedom of Information lawsuit.

CIA terrorism in Iraq ..... Who? US?
"With the 2004 electoral clock ticking amid growing public concern about U.S. casualties and chaos in Iraq, the Bush administration’s hawks are upping the ante militarily. To those familiar with the CIA’s Phoenix assassination program in Vietnam, Latin America’s death squads or Israel’s official policy of targeted murders of Palestinian activists, the results are likely to look chillingly familiar.

Why do they hate us?

Bush insists on clinging to the thoroughly discredited notion that there was any connection between the old Iraqi regime and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
He is either lying, which is impeachable, or delusional, in which case the 25th Amendment applies. Why won't Congress do their job?

The Dynamics Of Wars Sired By Liars
In case you haven’t noticed, the war in Iraq is not going that well despite the continual misrepresentations and out-and-out lies by those in our government. But, if one’s strategy for starting a war is based on nothing but lies, it stands to reason one would have to keep lying to continue the war and keep the sheeple in the cheering section.

Jerusalem to demolish 88 Arab homes
The Jerusalem municipality wants to demolish 88 homes in an Arab neighbourhood of the city to make room for an archaeological park, according to Israeli government documents and attorneys representing the homeowners. If the courts approve the municipality’s request, it will be one of the largest demolitions since Israel captured traditionally Arab east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war, and would cause an uproar among Palestinians who claim that part of the city as a future capital.
