" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/25/AR2005072501649.html === Dance of deception The assumption that worldwide Islam bears the responsibility for radical young men and women who blow up buses and trains is devoid of logic and conscience. Enough of giving advice to Muslims. Our responsibility is to demand that Western leaders accept that what they've done to others has a direct connection to what is now being done unto us. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9586.htm http://snipurl.com/gjpt === Are Stupid White Men Really Stupid? We must wake up and regain our country from the criminals, fools, and traitors who've assumed it. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9573.htm http://snipurl.com/gion === US 'misread motivation' of suicide bombers: Not everyone accepts the stereotype of suicide bombers recruited by the Al Qaeda network, as religiously-inspired haters of Western values, intent of destroying Western civilisation. One American analyst says it's too simplistic to assume Islamic fundamentalism in the central cause. http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2005/s1418817.htm http://snipurl.com/gj90 === Guardsman: CIA beat Iraqis with hammer handles: CIA officials used a sledgehammer handle to beat various prisoners in Iraq, and one official, whose name is classified, would often brag about his abuse of prisoners, according to testimony in a closed session of a military hearing. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9585.htm http://snipurl.com/gjq7 === Calif. National Guard Company Under Torture Investigation: The investigation appears to deal with allegations an electric stun gun was used to abuse or torture Iraqi detainees http://kcal9.com/localnews/localnewsla_story_208141157.html http://snipurl.com/gjq8 === Witnesses Say Army Dogs Bit Detainees : Military dogs bit at least two detainees at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, one severely enough to require stitches, witnesses testified Tuesday at a pretrial hearing for two Army dog handlers. The unmuzzled dogs were also used to terrify inmates at the direction of the highest-ranking military intelligence officer at the prison, one witness said. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5169857,00.html http://snipurl.com/gjqr === Abu Ghraib Dog Tactics Came From Guantanamo: Military interrogators at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq learned about the use of military working dogs to intimidate detainees from a team of interrogators dispatched from the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to court testimony yesterday. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9583.htm http://snipurl.com/gjqs === Frist pulls defense bill to elude votes on handling captives: The unusual move came after senators, including several leading Republicans, beat back an effort by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist to block amendments setting standards for military-prisoner interrogations and delaying base closings scheduled for approval later this year. http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/news/world/12233735.htm http://snipurl.com/gjq9 === The Iraq mess: The fighting has transformed itself largely into civil war. The 170,000 Iraqi security forces, largely Shiite in composition, represent the Shiite-dominated government of Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari. They are opposed and targeted by the largely Sunni insurgents. http://snipurl.com/gjqb === Security incidents in Iraq, July 27: Four U.S soldiers were killed on Tuesday evening when a roadside bomb was detonated near their vehicle in south- western Baghdad, the U.S military said on Wednesday. http://today.reuters.com/News/CrisesArticle.aspx?storyId=L27012102 http://snipurl.com/gjpx === Five Soldiers Killed, Five Wounded in Two Incidents in Iraq: One soldier was killed and five were wounded today when an improvised explosive device detonated near a combat patrol in Salah Ad Din province at about 11. On July 24, four Task Force Baghdad soldiers were killed when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb at 7:15 p.m. http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Jul2005/20050727_2248.html http://snipurl.com/gjpz === Bulgaria's Withdrawal from Iraq - Top Priority for Draft Cabinet: Withdrawing the Bulgarian military contingent in Iraq will be a major priority of the coalition between the country's Socialists and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF). http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=50423 http://snipurl.com/gjqc === Report: MI5 sought to recruit al-Qaida leader: MI5 tried to recruit senior al-Qaida figure Abu Qatada as an informer in a bid to keep terror off the streets of Britain, it was reported Wednesday. http://www.wpherald.com/storyview.php?StoryID=20050727-031425-1430r http://snipurl.com/gjqk === Cause and consequence : Two million people, including a vast number of British Muslims, took to the streets against the invasion of Iraq. Blair preferred the warmth of the White House's embrace. Ignore the marchers and you risk igniting the murderers. If the alternative to terrorism is democracy, then it is time the people of Britain and Iraq alike were listened to and the occupation ended. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9582.htm http://snipurl.com/gjql === John Pilger: Blair Is Unfit To Be Prime Minister: The bombs of 7 July were Blair's bombs. Blair brought home to this country his and Bush's illegal, unprovoked and blood-soaked adventure in the Middle East. Were it not for his epic irresponsibility, the Londoners who died in the Tube and on the No 30 bus almost certainly would be alive today. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9584.htm http://snipurl.com/gjqn === Police Response More Frightening Than the Killing LONDON, Jul 26 (IPS) - That an innocent Brazilian was shot dead on the London Underground is tragic; but the near justification of that killing by the police is frightening. The police have now openly declared a shoot-to-kill policy, and declared that they can shoot to kill just on suspicion. And that suspicion arising not from reliable intelligence or anything like that, but from just how someone may behave somewhere. http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=29642 === Three forgotten lessons Israeli leaders tell their Palestinian counterparts they must enforce law and order. They state that this is a pre-condition not only for peace but for maintaining a viable Palestinian entity. The Israelis stress the particular importance of enforcing the law upon militant armed extremists who do not accept the authority of the duly-elected government. They call upon the Palestinians to draw a lesson from the `Altalena` crisis. http://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=5685 === Palestinian killed in Jenin clashes: A Palestinian teenager was killed and nine people wounded, two of them Israeli soldiers, when clashes flared during an Israeli arrest operation in the northern West Bank on Wednesday http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=14129 http://snipurl.com/gjqu === Condoleezza Rice at the Center of the Plame Scandal: She alone among senior officials was knowing and complicitous at every successive stage of the great half-baked yellow cake fraud. http://www.counterpunch.com/morris07272005.html http://snipurl.com/gjr4 === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
