=== News Update === US Radiation In Iraq Equals 250,000 Nagasaki Bombs There Are No Words US Radiation In Iraq Equals 250,000 Nagasaki Bombs !!!!! No sir-ee, putting Four Million Pounds of Radioactive Uranium Dust (RUD) on the ground in Iraq was a definitely "on-purpose" kind of thing. It was not "just an accident." We, the citizens of the United States, through our kids in the Army, did this on purpose. http://www.rense.com/general66/equals.htm === Bush at Fort Braggfear-mongering, lies and desperation President Bushs speech before a captive audience of 740 troops at Fort Bragg, North Carolina Tuesday night was a repellant spectacle. It combined the pack of lies that the country has heard over and over again for nearly four years with appeals to backwardness, ignorance and fear, all intended to quash the mounting popular opposition to the war in Iraq. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2005/jun2005/bush-j29.shtml === Violations of Civil Liberties are an American Tradition President Bush is currently lobbying Congress to reauthorize portions of the Patriot Act that are scheduled to expire. While the Patriot Act contains provisions much needed in the war on terrorism, it also has elements that are in conflict with the civil liberties enshrined in the Constitution. Many of the provisions are violations of the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. http://www.orbstandard.com/News/Gerard/Gerard_Violations_of_Civil_Liberties_American_Tradition.html http://www.livejournal.com/~mparent7777/583252.html === Ahead: Six Decades Of Humiliation The world hates us more than ever The reason for our declining popularity is no mystery: Bush's unjustified, illegal war against Iraq. But Iraq, Bush's doctrine of preemptive warfare and instances of prisoners being tortured and even murdered aren't completely unprecedented. Cheney's neoconservatives are merely the latest executors of an aggressive foreign policy that has long prompted fear, hatred and resentment among the leaders and citizens of other nations. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9341.htm http://snipurl.com/fxzp === Torture Fatigue Only one-third of Americans questioned in a Washington Post-ABC News poll last May defined what happened at Abu Ghraib as "torture." "The Christian in me says it's wrong," Army Specialist Charles A. Graner Jr. said of torturing prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. "But the corrections officer in me says I love to make a grown man piss himself." http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9351.htm http://snipurl.com/fxzq === Imperial defiance Weapons, wealth and might do not always determine the course of events. People do. Who are the Patrick Henrys of today and who are the foreign invaders and aggressors; who are the defenders of their homes and who are the pawns of King George. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9353.htm http://snipurl.com/fxzs === "Terror and civil rights" "Canada has had to detain few people as terror suspects since the 9/11 attacks. We have four Arab men in custody. They arrived here, were deemed inadmissible as terror suspects, and are being held on "national security certificates" as they fight deportation. A fifth is free until his case can be decided, but is tightly monitored. That is a small group. Even so, Canadians are increasingly troubled by this controversial business of holding people for years without putting them on trial. And rightly so, because it is an affront to human rights. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1120083010570&call_pageid=968256290204&col=968350116795 === Data protection ended on 9/11, Mountie says All intelligence shared with U.S. Safeguards fell, Arar inquiry told OTTAWAIn the panic after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the RCMP dropped all normal safeguards on sharing intelligence and went to extraordinary lengths to give information to U.S. authorities, a senior Mountie says. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1120083012180&call_page=TS_Canada&call_pageid=968332188774&call_pagepath=News/Canada&pubid=968163964505&StarSource=email === US suspected of keeping secret prisoners on warships: UN official United Nationshas learned of "very, very serious" allegations that the United States is secretly detaining terrorism suspects in various locations around the world, and notably aboard prison ships, the UN's special rapporteur on terrorism said. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20050628/pl_afp/unrightsusattacks_050628140206 === New wave of police anti-terror raids in Australia Over the past week, Australian intelligence and police agencies have conducted a highly-publicised series of raids on at least 10 homes and interrogated a dozen people in Melbourne and Sydney on the pretext of combatting terrorism. Details have been deliberately leaked to the Murdoch media, and splashed all over its front pages, complete with pictures of one of the family homes. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2005/jun2005/asio-j30.shtml === 9/11 US Complicity: Implausible, or Very Probable? Questions for the People Who Believe the Official Conspiracy Theory It is time for the people who support the official conspiracy theory to stop calling names and to start answering some questions. The simple question of who benefited from the events of 9/11 can in many cases be answered by saying the people who were supposed to prevent 9/11. Doesnt that make you just a little bit curious? It should. http://tvnewslies.org/html/9_11_-_us_complicity__implausi.html === President Bush cries 9/11 one too many times The president had a chance to level with the American public Tuesday night in a televised speech at Fort Bragg, NC. Once again, the chance to come clean was squandered. Instead of addressing reasonable concerns of the public, he may now be remembered as the president who cried 9/11! one time too many. http://www.sebimeyer.com/index.php/2005/06/30/president-bush-cries-e28098911e28099-one-too-many-times/ === War or Impeachment In the days ahead, American politicians and pundits will talk a lot about leveling with the people by speaking the hard truth about Iraq, meaning an admission that the war is sure to rage for years and require an even heavier sacrifice in money and blood. But this leveling will be just the latest spin. What they wont tell you are these two other hard truths: The third hard truth... The US Government lied to the people to trick them into a war. http://www.consortiumnews.com/2005/062805.html === Poll: 42% Want Impeachment for Bush Lies No Bounce: Bush Job Approval Unchanged by War Speech; Question on Impeachment Shows Polarization of Nation; Americans Tired of Divisiveness in CongressWant Bi-Partisan SolutionsNew Zogby Poll http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1007 === The biggest of Big Lies To the extent that George Bush had retained the slightest shred of dignity through the whole ugly Iraq imbroglio, it was found in his refusal to fully embrace the biggest of the Big Lies told by his aides: the claim that Saddam Hussein had played a role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. http://www.madison.com/tct/opinion/index.php?ntid=45372&ntpid=0 === Bush Lies to the Nation, (Again!) The following speech is President Bush's address to the nation as he expounds upon the Iraq, War on Terror at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Warning its not going to be pretty, but it's colorful unless you happen to be color blind, then you won't be able to read it too well (Sorry) http://www.7000menforthelord.com/lies/bush_lies_to_the_nation.htm === Iraq: The Words of Mass Deception The Downing Street Memo, July 2002: There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/WMDlies.html === Blair admits authenticity of the Downing Street Memo British Prime Minister Tony Blair has finally admitted the authenticity of the so-called "Downing Street Memos" in an interview with the Associated Press which also viewed the memo, the New York Times reported yesterday. http://www.arabicnews.com/ansub/Daily/Day/050630/2005063046.html === Downing Street Is For Liars / Why aren't the media screaming about the latest proofs of Bush's war scams? Don't you know? Why aren't the media screaming about the latest proofs of Bush's war scams? Don't you know? Why are major American media not swarming all over the Downing Street Memos thing? Why is the entire nation not just appalled and disgusted and aghast at finding seemingly irrefutable proofs about what we all already knew, which is that BushCo planned to invade Iraq long before 9/11 and needed to find a way to justify it? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2005/06/22/notes062205.DTL === FLASHBACK: Short: Blair lied to cabinet and made secret war pact with US As an increasingly exasperated prime minister once again swept aside calls for a public inquiry into the failure to uncover banned Iraqi weapons, the former international development secretary accused Mr Blair of bypassing the cabinet to agree a "secret" pact with George Bush to go to war. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/iraq/story/0,12956,968599,00.html === Hannity Says Pre-9/11 Iraq Invasion Plan A Conspiracy Theory In a debate with Rep. Charles Rangel last night, Sean Hannity called Rangel's assertion that the Bush administation wanted to invade Iraq before Bush even became president as a conspiracy theory. The biggest government conspiracy of all is the claim that there are no government conspiracies. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2005/290605conspiracytheory.htm === How the Washington Post Lied about Its Own War Poll In a deceitful boost to Bush on the morning of his Iraq address, the Washington Post and ABC News released a poll of U.S. public opinion on Iraq. But the Post's numbers in their print version (in the body of the article) underestimates the "Out Now" position by more than 3 times. One has to look at their actual numbers (Poll Data) to see that support for "staying the course" is much smaller than the article suggests. http://www.counterpunch.org/schaefer06292005.html === Video: Deceit, Deception And Tears: Back To Vietnam: "I sound angry and I am f****** angry. You know, this is... You've got to get angry, everybody's got to get angry about bloody wars. They're f****** horrible!" http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9344.htm http://snipurl.com/fy0u === FLASHBACK: "Bring 'em on!" - Bush's Legacy of Death in Iraq Posted Jun 30, 2005 02:35 PM PST - Category: IRAQ http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/Bring_em_on.html === Bob Herbert: Dangerous Incompetence: The president who displayed his contempt for Iraqi militants two years ago with the taunt "bring 'em on" had to go on television Tuesday night to urge Americans not to abandon support for the war that he foolishly started but can't figure out how to win. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9349.htm http://snipurl.com/fy0b === Saddam rejects meeting U.S. officials: Toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has refused to meet U.S. officials as a prisoner, but only as the president of Iraq, it was reported Wednesday. http://www.washtimes.com//upi/20050629-081302-8155r.htm http://snipurl.com/fy10 === [CIA Agent Forms Party? : Tom's Comment] Former Iraqi minister forms political front for Resistance groups : At a news conference in a Baghdad home, al-Samarie said the new political front, the National Council for Unity and Construction of Iraq, is representing "resistance" fighters who have not carried out attacks against civilians. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9346.htm http://snipurl.com/fy04 === War? What war? As the Iraq nightmare deepens, Fox News and its cable competitors wallow in shark attacks and Natalee Holloway. If you don't cover a war, does it exist? http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/06/29/aruba/index_np.html?x === Media Censorship Hard enough to combat censorship in the corporate pres, but in some ways the "independent press" is just as bad. Indymedia, has been a gatekeeper of certain issues, depending on locality... Only just a few minutes ago, I discovered that my article "Artists Illuminate 9-11 Truth More than the Official Commission" has been hidden/disappeared from the NYC Indymedia website by Chris because "nice contest, but links to sites babbling about controlled demolitions, 'Israeli saboteurs,' etc." Is this responsible censorship? I don't think so. http://www.indybay.org/news/2005/06/1750114.php === Bodies from U.S. copter crash found in Afghanistan: The bodies of 13 U.S. troops have been recovered from the crash of a U.S. helicopter in eastern Afghanistan, but seven more U.S. soldiers are unaccounted for and some may have been captured, a news report said on Thursday http://snipurl.com/fxzw === Italy Denies It Knew of CIA Kidnapping Italy's government denied Thursday it had prior knowledge of the alleged CIA kidnapping of a radical Egyptian cleric and summoned the U.S. ambassador to explain the operation, which has led prosecutors to seek the arrest of 13 purported CIA officials. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5109642,00.html http://snipurl.com/fy1p === CIA abduction in Italy shows U.S. bungling-experts: CIA agents charged with kidnapping a Muslim cleric in Milan appear to have bungled their way into an international incident by ignoring the most basic rules of the spy trade, experts say. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9350.htm http://snipurl.com/fy06 === In case you missed it: US forces' use of depleted uranium weapons is 'illegal': BRITISH and American coalition forces are using depleted uranium (DU) shells in the war against Iraq and deliberately flouting a United Nations resolution which classifies the munitions as illegal weapons of mass destruction. http://www.sundayherald.com/32522 === In case you missed it: After the War Comes Cancer : Information collected for a German project investigating the use of uranium-charged ammunition in Iraq shows that when Iraqi women fear for their children's health, it is with good reason. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,1564,1510710,00.html http://snipurl.com/fy14 === In case you missed it: WHO suppressed scientific study into depleted uranium cancer fears in Iraq: Radiation experts warn in unpublished report that DU weapons used by Allies in Gulf war pose long-term health risk http://www.sundayherald.com/40096 === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
