=== News Update === Muslims think US behind September 11 MOST Muslims in Australia believe the United States authorised the September 11 terror attacks, a Melbourne Islamic leader claims. "We believe they are willing to sometimes sacrifice their own people for the objective to control the whole world," said Abu Hamza, president of the Islamic Information and Services Network. Mr Hamza, who leads 250 Muslims at a Coburg mosque, said Sheik Mohammed Omran was not alone in believing the US Government was behind the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington that killed almost 3000 people. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/printpage/0,5481,16048772,00.html === Mike Whitney: Decoding Tom Friedman : The source of the problem is not in the heart of Islam but in the sanctuaries of the American plutocracy, where fantasists who never held a rifle dreamt of leading the nation to war. Their muddled vision has now produced the greatest wave of terror the world has ever seen. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9567.htm http://snipurl.com/ghrt === The Only Legitimate Reasons For War The attacks on our liberties are not coming from al Qaeda or terrorists they are coming from our elected leaders and their money grabbing, freedom destroying, death machine. http://www.lewrockwell.com/gaddy/gaddy19.html === Dehumanizing America This is part two of a five part series from the Los Angeles teach-in on the Downing Street Memo. Today Mike Farrell connects the dehumanizing of Americans to use of the death penalty and torture. Tomorrow Iraq Veterans Against the War Co-Founder Tim Goodrich will describe the increased Bombings of Iraq in 2002, before Bush went to the UN or Congress. http://www.truthout.org/multimedia.htm === Shots to the Heart of Iraq Innocent civilians, including people who are considered vital to building democracy, are increasingly being killed by U.S. troops. Salihee's widow, Raghad al Wazzan, said she accepted the American soldiers' presence when they first arrived in Iraq because "they came and liberated us." She sometimes helped them at the hospital where she works as a doctor. But not anymore. "Now, after they killed my husband, I hate them," she said. "I want to blow them all up." http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9564.htm http://snipurl.com/ghqy === West's Policies Must Change Blair imported Mideast violence to Britain. Murdering civilians in London, New York or Tel Aviv is a heinous crime. But to many people around the globe, so was the trumped-up invasion of Iraq that violated every norm of international law, the ongoing U.S. occupation of Afghanistan, and the agony of Palestine. Deporting or jailing loudmouth radical Muslim clerics and closing madrassas won't stop the dangerous jihadist movement. Neither will blaming Islam or Pakistan. Terrorist violence is the effect, not the cause. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9565.htm http://snipurl.com/ghqz === Injustices not religions breed terrorism: Imran: As a Pakistani, it has been a bad week to be in London. http://snipurl.com/ghrr === Hate Crimes Soar in Britain as Police Defend "Shoot to Kill" Policy A wave of anti-Muslim, Arab and South Asian hate crimes are sweeping Britain in the wake of the July 7th Subway and Bus bombings.

Not the Abu Ghraib prison kind of stuff, where we put dark pillow cases over people's heads and attach electric shock wires to their fingers, or where we strip them naked and sic ferocious dogs on them. http://www.canada.com/montreal/montrealgazette/news/insight/story.html?id=dae8c71d-b52d-4b6a-a85f-4e5e11ac44d5 === Australian Gov't Cites UN human rights convention to justify attacks on civil liberties THE Howard Government will defend tough, new anti-terrorist legislation against attacks by civil libertarians by citing its obligations under the UN human rights convention to protect human life. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,16049810%5E601,00.html === Denunciation doesn't work : Condemning terrorism to the exclusion of everything else will not equip us to deal with the threat we face http://snipurl.com/ghrv === US report raises concern about insurgents infiltrating Iraqi police: A US government report has concluded that likely insurgents have infiltrated Iraq's police service, while other recruits have criminal records or are barely literate. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20050724/pl_afp/iraqussecurity http://snipurl.com/ghrf === Four U.S. soldiers killed in bomb attack : Four soldiers were killed Sunday by a roadside bomb in the deadliest attack on the 48th Brigade Combat Team since its mobilization. http://news.mywebpal.com/partners/680/public/news648509.html http://snipurl.com/ghr1 === U.S. Soldier Killed In Samarra: A Soldier was killed July 25 when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle during a combat patrol near Samarra in Salah Ad Din Province. http://snipurl.com/ghr2 === U.S. Soldier Killed: A Soldier was killed and two were wounded during an indirect fire attack on a Coalition Forces base near Balad at about 3:30 p.m. on July 24. http://snipurl.com/ghr3 === NC-Based Marine Killed By Roadside Bomb In Iraq: The Department of Defense had not listed Opskar as a casualty on its Web site as of Sunday night. http://snipurl.com/ghr4 === Army accuses corporal of war crimes in Iraq: Cpl.
