Anyone can read the Quran in English or in Arabic and expose Mr. Thomas as a liar. Mr. Thomas quotes from �reports� by MEMRI-TV monitor project. MEMRI is a pretend �research� group run by Col. Yigal Carmon, formerly with Israeli military intelligence, whose mission is to spread misinformation under the guise of translating from the Arabic Press. http://www.theday.com/eng/web/news/re.aspx?re=A8FD1454-7E64-4D61-831D-5389A0F58066 === Guantanamo Bay: A "Gulag Of Our Times" or a "Model Facility"?

The remaining question is when the Iraqi people, with help from anti-war forces all over the world, will overcome the tremendous disadvantages they face and drive out the occupation troops to liberate Iraq. No one questions the Pentagon�s ability to inflict suffering on Iraqis. The U.S. occupation has already created conditions of over 50-percent unemployment, of electricity on only one-third of the day in the heat of an Iraqi summer, of insecurity and danger lurking in every street. www.workers.org/2005/world/iraq-0609/ === Before The U.S. Attacked Iraq - Facts EVERY war supporter should have known Who "mass-graved" thousands of Iraqis by bulldozing over them?

Point out that the high temperature inferno they claim followed the impacts of the aircraft is contradicted by the photos of people standing in the holes looking out, apparently untroubled by excess temperatures.
