When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for the people to dissolve the political bands of oppression which have connected them with their chosen government, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. http://www.rense.com/general66/newdec.htm === Australia: Detention regime in breach of international human rights Australia's asylum policy is having an appalling human cost with children being kept behind razor wire for many months and people whose asylum applications have been dismissed but who cannot be returned to their countries of origin being detained indefinitely, according to a new report published today. http://web.amnesty.org/library/index/engasa120032005 === The War President America's founders knew all too well how war appeals to the vanity of rulers and their thirst for glory. That's why they took care to deny presidents the kingly privilege of making war at their own discretion. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/24/opinion/24krugman.html?pagewanted=print === Bush fails again to speak candidly about war in Iraq President Bush missed another opportunity Tuesday night to level with the American people about the war in Iraq. Posted Jul 1, 2005 09:34 AM PST - Category: IRAQ http://kennebecjournal.mainetoday.com/view/columns/1747538.shtml === Administration Failing Troops, the American People in Iraq, Afghanistan Once again, the President of United States felt he had to explain to the American public and our brave troops in Iraq why the war there, and the war on terror, are not going as expected. I was very disappointed that, once again, he failed to talk straight to us and, instead, continued to push the fallacy that somehow Iraq is linked to 9/11. http://www.commondreams.org/news2005/0629-03.htm === Memo to the Iraq War "Behind the president's speech is a conviction among White House officials that the battle for public opinion on Iraq hinges on their success in convincing Americans that, whatever their views of going to war in the first place, the conflict there must and can be won." http://www.antiwar.com/solomon/?articleid=6499 === FLASHBACK: Bush stands by al Qaeda, Saddam link Posted Jul 1, 2005 09:52 AM PST - Category: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS Only two days later, the independent commission examining the 9-11 attacks admitted there was no evidence of any link between Saddam and Al Qaeda http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/06/15/bush.alqaeda/ === FLASHBACK: Bush rebuff on Saddam, al-Qaeda link Posted Jul 1, 2005 09:43 AM PST - Category: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS Rebuffing Bush administration claims, the independent commission investigating the September 11 attacks said no evidence exists that al-Qaeda had strong ties to Saddam Hussein. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/06/17/1087245008429.html?oneclick=true === BUSH TO TURN LINCOLN MEMORIAL INTO PROPAGANDA MACHINE The National Park Service has bought footage of President George W. Bush, his father, pro-Iraq War demonstrations and anti-gun control rallies from news organizations for inclusion in a video to be displayed at the Lincoln Memorial. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/lincolnpropaganda.html === Mud, lies and a wretched war From the roadsides and the hills the rebels attacked and ran, their army having been defeated in almost every major encounter. Still, these insurgents and their leader would not give in or give up. Insurgents fighting on their own soil don't lose wars or win wars; they merely outlast the occupying force. http://www.bergen.com/page.php?qstr=eXJpcnk3ZjczN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXkzOTcmZmdiZWw3Zjd2cWVlRUV5eTY3MTU2NTcmeXJpcnk3ZjcxN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXkxNA === Bush, Blair 'no idea' how to win Iraq war, says Cook Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook Friday stepped up his criticism of the Iraq war, saying that both Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President George Bush had "no idea" how to win their war. http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_international&Number=293746688#Post293746688 === American press's meek handling of Downing Street disclosures shames the profession The language in these British memos is very plain and clear: the U.S. and British were committed to invading Iraq months before the March 20, 2003, start of the war. Yet the memos do not run as headlines on the front pages of major newspapers. http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050629/OPINION03/50628025&SearchID=73212831667484 === Blair 'Astonished' by Coverage of Memos Posted Jul 1, 2005 08:11 AM PST - Category: PHONY TONY BLAIR "We never imagined you would be THAT upset about being lied into a war!" http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/06/30/international/i002350D97.DTL === Secret air campaign against Iraq? Downing Street memo, other documents may show war really started earlier than March 2003. Most American media have focused on the allegations from the Downing Street memo that the Bush administration was going to "fix" the intelligence in order to justify the war against Iraq. Now the reporter who broke the original story says they have missed a more substantial allegation to arise from the same set of leaked documents. http://csmonitor.com/2005/0630/dailyUpdate.html === Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Thursday, 30 June 2005 : - Resistance blasts US position as Americans continue blockade of city of Hit in so-called "Operation Sword." - Resistance martyrdom fighter blows up US-occupied house killing eight American soldiers Wednesday afternoon, al Khalidiyah - Resistance bombards US "as-Saqr" base in al-Habbaniyah and al Warrar Wednesday morning - Resistance bombards US headquarters in ad-Durah Wednesday morning, Baghdad - Resistance bomb blasts US column south of Abu Ghurayb early Wednesday killing several US troops - Six US troops reported killed as Resistance car bomber blasts tank column south of Tirkit Wednesday morning - Two-pronged attack leaves a reported six US soldiers dead south of Samarra' early Wednesday afternoon - Resistance bomb kills a reported four US troops north of al-Yusufiyah at noon Wednesday - Two-pronged Resistance attack kills a reported seven American troops Wednesday afternoon, Tall 'Afar - Iraqi Resistance forces blow up gas pipeline in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk igniting a huge fire - American forces bombard residential areas of Hit as their offensive codenamed "Operation Sword" continues for third day - Resistance martyrdom bomber kills seven US troops in Thursday morning attack, al Qa'im - Resistance car bomber kills seven US troops in ar-Ramadi midday Thursday - US forces find butchered bodies of four American women troops taken prisoner one week ago - Resistance bomb reportedly kills six US troops in west Baghdad al-Yarmuk area at noon Thursday - Resistance fighters attack column of foreign mercenaries on Airport Road Thursday afternoon, killing four - "Armed struggle until occupation leaves Iraq": Resistance groups deny claims of readiness to form political organization and negotiate - Resistance mortar shell targets Japanese occupation base in as-Samawah - Resistance bombards Camp Bucca in Umm Qasr, al Basrah http://www.albasrah.net/en_articles_2005/0605/iraqiresistancereport_300605.htm === Believe the Military? There is excellent reason to believe that the Department of Defense is deliberately not reporting a significant number of the dead in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from the MATS that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than are reported officially. The educated rumor is that the actual death toll is in excess of 7,000. http://www.antiwar.com/blog/comments.php?id=P2170_0_1_15 === Pace of troop deaths up in Iraq U.S. military deaths in Iraq increased by about one-third in the past year, even as Iraq established its own government and assumed more responsibility for battling the insurgency. http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2005-06-30-troopdeaths_x.htm === June one of the deadliest months for U.S. troops in Iraq BAGHDAD, Iraq - June was one of the deadliest months of combat for U.S. troops since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq 28 months ago. http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/12026485.htm === Baghdad to Basra, driving Iraq's train of fear Passengers scared of travelling by train could cost them their lives despite cheap fares. Iraq's railway system should be an economic locomotive for rebuilding the country, but on a lonely stretch south of Baghdad trains run empty and engineers count on thick plates of steel to stop bullets. http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=13903 === Governor Jesse Ventura Troubled By Official 9/11 Story I'm troubled too. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2005/010705venturatroubled.htm I'm especially troubled about that part where Bush just sits and sits and sits reading abut goats waiting for his speech, and the Secret Service just lets him sit and sit and sit and sit ... almost like they knew he wasn't a target all along http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/9-11secretservice.html === The phony (Mossad) Al Qaeda Cell in Palestine Posted Jul 1, 2005 09:44 AM PST - Category: ISRAELI SPYING A reminder that Al Qaeda may not be what you've been told they are. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/fakealqaeda.html === Who Sends US To War? - ISRAEL Posted Jul 1, 2005 08:33 AM PST - Category: ISRAEL http://www.rense.com/general66/whos.htm === FLASHBACK: JINSA Behind Drive To Cover-Up Israeli Spy Scandal JINSA lists among its directors: Richard Perle, Steven Bryen (whose wife, Shoshana Bryen is still one of the few full-time JINSA employees), Max Kampelman, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Jack Kemp, Michael Ledeen, Joshua Muravchik, Kenneth Timmermann, and James Woolsey. http://www.rense.com/general18/JINSA.htm === Team of U.S. GIs Missing in Afghanistan A small team of U.S. soldiers was missing Friday in the same mountains in eastern Afghanistan where a special forces helicopter was shot down earlier this week, and U.S. forces are using "every available asset" to find them, a U.S. military spokesman said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/01/AR2005070100268.html === To hell with Judith Miller And to hell with the press's sanctimonious lamentations over First Amendment rights. If they were so fucking committed to the press being some kind of democratic tripwire, they wouldn't behave like such craven hucksters about virtually every real issue that comes along. In particular, they would be critical of themselves about the likes of propaganda hacks like Judith Miller. http://stangoff.com/index.php?p=149 === Some Americans Ponder Impeachment for Bush Okay, challenge time. I dare anyone to write in and explain why they believe that it is okay for the President to lie to the nation to trick us into supporting a war of conquest. I want them to explain how this can be a Democracy when the people are lied to to manufacture their consent for things they otherwise would not consent to. And I want the email to include how they would explain to their own children why it is NOT okay for them to lie about anything, but okay for the President to do so. http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewItem/itemID/7881 === O'Connor Steps Down from U.S. Supreme Court Ah yes, the judge who voted to stop the Florida recount that cleared the way for George W. Bush to win the 2000 presidential election. It was later determined that Al Gore actually did have the most votes in Florida. http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=899285&page=1 === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
