=== News Update === The responsibility we share for Islamist shock and awe Citizens in democracies will be held to account for what is done in their name How do you prosecute a war against the US and Britain? Muslims fight us on their own soil, but why should they not carry the fight to our homelands as we carry it to theirs? They do not possess the aircraft to fly over Washington and London and carry out "precision bombing". http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9682.htm http://snipurl.com/gr3o === The myths of Hiroshima The bomb was dropped, as J. Robert Oppenheimer, scientific director of the Manhattan Project, said in November 1945, on "an essentially defeated enemy." President Truman and his closest advisor, Secretary of State James Byrnes, quite plainly used it primarily to prevent the Soviets from sharing in the occupation of Japan. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9683.htm === Hiroshima remembers atomic bombing Tens of thousands of people from around the world gathered in Hiroshima to mark the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city and to renew calls for the abolition of nuclear arms. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/9CDD6E33-F76C-4CAB-95AF-2927E23A77A6.htm === The Hiroshima Cover-Up A STORY THAT the U.S. government hoped would never see the light of day finally has been published, 60 years after it was spiked by military censors. The discovery of reporter George Weller's firsthand account of conditions in post-nuclear Nagasaki sheds light on one of the great journalistic betrayals of the last century: the cover-up of the effects of the atomic bombing on Japan. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9680.htm http://snipurl.com/gr3r === Film Suppressed: The US Government Hides Hiroshima Nagasaki Footage For Decades: Footage of the devastation after the U.S. bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that was commissioned by the US occupying forces was suppressed for decades. http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/05/1549202 http://snipurl.com/ahfq === Hiroshima Cover-up: Stripping the War Department's Timesman of His Pulitzer: : The New York Times reporter who covered the bombings was on the US government payroll. Journalists Amy Goodman and David Goodman call for the Pulitzer Board to strip Laurence and his paper, The New York Times, of the undeserved prize. http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/05/1548241 http://snipurl.com/anol === The Atomic Bomb and the End of World War II: The National Security Archive publishes the most comprehensive on-line collection to date of declassified U.S. government documents on the atomic bomb and the end of the war in the Pacific. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB162/index.htm http://snipurl.com/dqoo === Bush's dirty war Bush's dirty war is having a counterproductive effect, just as dirty wars did in Vietnam, Algeria and Argentina. For every militant abused or killed, a community of like-minded militants is inspired. Hatred, resentment and vengeance are the natural outcomes. There has never been a victory through a dirty war over these forces. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9681.htm http://snipurl.com/gr3p === Bush and Blair's "way of life" Fascist dictators have generally acted under Machiavelli's principle that "if the act accuse him, the result will excuse him." From now onwards any word of criticism of Bush and Blair's policies would be considered extremism and all those critics will be blacklisted, because their criticism could "indirectly" lead to "terrorism." http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9684.htm === MP Galloway standing by comment : "It can be said, truly said, that the Iraqi resistance is not just defending Iraq. They are defending all the Arabs and they are defending all the people of the world against American hegemony," he said. http://snipurl.com/6f6x === Civil War In Iraq, Made In the USA Breaking up Iraq may be part of the plan to cut U.S. forces. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9685.htm === The War on Terror Explained in Plain English Terrorism is the product of injustice and can only be stopped by stopping the injustice. http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/1175 === I am a lawyer, not a bomber Asians should not be prejudged because of the way we look : An open letter to the person I sat opposite on the train yesterday. http://www.guardian.co.uk/attackonlondon/story/0,16132,1543791,00.html === U.S to transfer hundreds of Afghan prisoners: The United States will return about 110 Afghan prisoners from Guantanamo, Cuba, to Afghanistan, where the Kabul government will decide whether to detain or release them, the two countries said on Thursday. http://snipurl.com/7736 === Elusive sniper saps US morale in Baghdad : They have never seen Juba. They hear him, but by then it's too late: a shot rings out and another US soldier slumps dead or wounded. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1542824,00.html http://snipurl.com/gr3v === Poll: Disapproval of President Bush's Handling of Iraq at 62%: A new opinion poll indicates that Americans' approval of President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq is at its lowest level since the conflict began in 2003. http://www.voanews.com/english/2005-08-05-voa49.cfm === FLASHBACK: CIA Probe Finds Secret Pentagon Group Manipulated Intelligence on Iraqi Threat A half-dozen former CIA agents investigating prewar intelligence have found that a secret Pentagon committee, set up by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in October 2001, manipulated reams of intelligence information prepared by the spy agency on the so-called Iraqi threat and then delivered it to top White House officials who used it to win support for a war in Iraq. http://www.antiwar.com/orig/leopold11.html === FAKED WMD REPORT CAUSED WAR IN IRAQ WMD - Word of Mass Deception The American TV network CBS reported Friday that an Israeli spy is operating inside the Pentagon. According to the report, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is convinced the spy has conveyed highly sensitive information to the Israeli government via two representatives of the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/470334.html === GOVERNMENT PLAGIARISES IRAQI "WMD" REPORT The following information was circulated on the internet on the 6 February 2003. It details how the British Government's report Iraq - Its Infrastructure Of Concealment, Deception And Intimidation released Monday 3 February 2003 is a wholesale plagiarism of texts already in the public domain, and that consequently we must conclude "the UK at least really does not have any independent sources of information on Iraq's internal politics - they just draw upon publicly available data. Thus any further claims to information based on 'intelligence data' must be treated with even more scepticism." http://www.uscrusade.com/2003/British_Dossier_on_Iraq_Scandal.html http://www.sovereignty.org.uk/siteinfo/newsround/iraq.html === Bush Uranium Lie Is Tip of the Iceberg In the January 28 speech, Bush claimed that "the British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." That assertion was similar to claims made previously by administration officials, including Secretary of State Colin Powell (CBS Evening News, 12/19/02), that Iraq had sought to import yellowcake uranium from Niger, a strong indication that Saddam Hussein's regime was reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. http://www.fair.org/press-releases/beyond-niger.html === How Bush And Blair Chose War And Then Chose The Justification Sometimes it really is possible to fail to see the wood for the trees. We need to be clear that Tony Blair is claiming that the threat of Iraqi WMD justified a massive war against Iraq. We are to believe that after a major conflict in which 88,500 tons of bombs were dropped in 1991, after eight years of inspections, and after more than a decade of continuous bombing raids, and of crippling sanctions imposed under the most intensive and sophisticated surveillance operation in history, both Blair and Bush received intelligence suggesting that Iraq was a "serious and current threat". http://www.williambowles.info/media/findaway.html === BUSH and BLAIR'S IRAQ WAR................

There is a seemingly passive acceptance of the conflict-without-end. Some have called the unquestioning silent assent obscene. http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050805/COLUMNIST13/508050319 http://snipurl.com/gr3d === Galloway says Blair and Bush 'have blood on their hands' : Tony Blair and George Bush have "far more blood on their hands" than the terrorists who carried out the London tube bombings, George Galloway said today. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,15935,1543291,00.html?gusrc=ticker-103704 http://snipurl.com/gr4e === U.N. condemns attacks in Iraq as 'horrific' NEW YORK -- The U.N.
