It has allowed a priest who served 21 months in prison for possessing child pornography to move back into a church-owned apartment near Corpus Christi University Parish. There's more: The diocese continued to keep him on the payroll while he was incarcerated. That's a slap in the face to parishioners who have been asked to believe the church isn't coddling molesters. http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050727/OPINION02/507270317 === Birmingham's most prominent Muslim leader says 'Nothing to link Muslims with attacks' 'Nothing to link Muslims with attacks' Mohammed Naseem, Birmingham's most prominent Muslim leader, claimed yesterday there was nothing to prove Muslims carried out bomb attacks on London on July 7 and 21. http://news.ft.com/cms/s/e63828c0-ff04-11d9-94b4-00000e2511c8.html === Nothing to link Muslims with attacks Some blame the US and Israel for terrorist attacks such as September 11, revealing a deep distrust of the British authorities.

Posted Jul 28, 2005 09:07 AM PST - Category: DICTATORSHIP http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_news&Number=293828160 === They Just Never Meant Very Much To Us Samples From An Ocean Of Suffering The truth is that we are trained to value the lives of our countrymen more highly by a socio-political system that has much to gain from a restricted, patriotic version of compassion, and much to lose from an excess of popular concern for suffering inflicted on foreigners by our governments and corporations. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9592.htm http://snipurl.com/gkgv === The Globalization of State Terror The expression of Bush's maligned vision is now evident everywhere; from the gun-towers over Guantanamo, to the concertina wire surrounding Falluja, to the cement abutments enclosing the White House. The rising wave of militarism has been accompanied by an equal and opposite retreat in civil liberties and personal freedom. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9589.htm http://snipurl.com/gkgy === McKinney reopens 9/11 Revisiting the issue that helped spur her ouster from Congress three years ago, Rep.

Perhaps the evangelicals are right -- perhaps America is in a moral free fall. After relentless media disclosures, Capitol Hill testimony, and the recent damning "Downing Street Memo," a belated reversal in American public opinion may be underway. Polls say a slim majority now realizes that we who opposed the Iraq war from its inception were right: there were no weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein's noxious regime posed no global threat, and it was never linked to September 11. http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_miscellaneous&Number=293828421 === Collateral Damage Collateral damage: the phrase used by the misnamed Department of Defense to describe lives and property destroyed as a side effect of actions taken in the War on Terror. It is also a favorite phrase of pro-war pundits and bloggers because it sounds so much nicer than "wanton destruction and murder." http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/tennant3.html === The War Is Over, and We... June 30, 2005, was the peak of neocon delusion. On that day American Enterprise Institute neocon Karl Zinsmeister posted his article on the AEI online site titled: "The War Is Over, and We Won." No sooner than Zinsmeister put delusion to paper than U.S. military commanders reported escalating and more sophisticated insurgency attacks. Casualties exploded with more deadly bombings, giving meaning to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's projection of a 12-year war. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the conflict's cost may exceed $700 billion. http://www.antiwar.com/roberts/?articleid=6780 === Iraq police accused of torture : Iraq's new police force is facing mounting allegations of systematic abuse and torture of people in detention, as well as allegations of extra-judicial killings.
