=== News Update === Able Danger disabled THE report of the 9/11 commission, once a best seller and hailed by the news media as the definitive word on the subject, must now be moved to the fiction shelves. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9755.htm === 9/11 Revisionism, Revisited The mystery of 'Able Danger': Why is there no mention, Mr. Speaker, of a recommendation in September of 2000 to take out Mohammed Atta's cell which would have detained three of the terrorists who struck us?" http://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=6923 === Are Half of All Americans Mentally Ill? According to experts, severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia, dementia and manic depression are relatively uncommon. But the updated Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (search), or DSM the standard survey for mental illness lists conditions like adjustment disorder, passive-aggressive disorder and female sexual arousal disorder as mental illness, reflecting what are claimed to be advances in the mental health profession. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,165646,00.html === The flag won't protect you; it's in the wrong hands Americans are convinced they are the emissaries of peace and good will. Pretty staggering delusion all things consideredpathological, one might say. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9754.htm === Women had more rights under Saddam than they do under the US puppet regime. In a chilling irony, women may actually have fewer rights under Iraq's new, ``democratic'' constitution than they did under Saddam Hussein. "The United States government has poured millions of dollars into democracy training for Iraqi women, and more than 1,800 Americans have died for Iraqi freedom. But it may turn out to be for Iraqi male freedom,'' said Katheryn Coughlin, program administrator for the American Islamic Congress, a nonprofit doing democracy training in Iraq. http://news.bostonherald.com/international/view.bg?articleid=97940 === How can the US ever win, when Iraqi children die like this? "I told the American officer: You have killed the innocent and such things will lead the people to destroy you and the people will make a revolution against you. You said you had come to liberate us from the previous regime. But you are destroying our walls and doors." Continue. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9761.htm === Someone Tell the President the War Is Over President Bush may be the last person in the country to learn that for Americans, if not Iraqis, the war in Iraq is over. The president's claim on Thursday that "no decision has been made yet" about withdrawing troops from Iraq can be taken exactly as seriously as the vice president's preceding fantasy that the insurgency is in its "last throes." The country has already made the decision for Mr. Bush. We're outta there. Now comes the hard task of identifying the leaders who can pick up the pieces of the fiasco. Continue. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9759.htm === Bush Lied: Making the Case - Putting it All Together Evidence Warrants an Investigation into Whether the Bush Administration's Justification for the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq was Fraudulent Compiled from my memory and a variety of linked sources... http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/8/14/172215/695 === No 10 refuses to reveal Iraq war e-mails A senior source at the Department for Constitutional Affairs, which Falconer heads, said colleagues had been been s***ing themselves that the Morgan e-mails would be released after No 10 went against precedent and released Goldsmiths full legal advice during the election. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1734151,00.html === Fable of the Emperor and the Grieving Mother While the message of the grieving mother encamped in front of the Emperors castle did not move the hard heart of the Emperor, it did indeed miraculously resound through the empire, and the populace did indeed begin to question with her whether her son had died in vain and whether the Emperors war had been no more than tragic folly. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9760.htm === US steps in to end Iraq deadlock American diplomats offered their own proposed draft in a dramatic attempt to clinch a deal and avert a political crisis that would embarrass President George Bush. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9758.htm === Diplomats pressure Sunnis to accept a federal Iraq Mr Talabani told reporters that last-minute talks were concentrating on whether to transform Iraq into a federated state which the Sunnis oppose and on the role of Islam. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article305732.ece === US writing new Iraq Constitution American diplomats offered their own proposed draft in a dramatic attempt to clinch a deal and avert a political crisis that would embarrass President George Bush. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1548823,00.html === Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Saturday, 13 August 2005 : - At least eight US troops reported killed in double bombing Saturday morning - Hundreds of mourners turn grief into defiance as they bury 23 Iraqi civilians shot dead by US machinegun fire in the ar-Ramadi Massacre Friday - Three US troops reported killed in roadside bombing in al-Fallujah Saturday morning - Nine bodies of puppet soldiers found executed midday Saturday, al Qa'im - Resistance roadside bomb blasts US convoy headed towards al-Fallujah - Four US troops reported dead in Resistance roadside bombing in ad-Durah early Saturday - US-run company supplying Colombian mercenaries to US military in Iraq, Baghdad - Five US Marines reported killed in attack by Resistance martyrdom fighter wearing explosive belt, Ba'qubah - Resistance rocket barrage blows up American ammunition depot, Samarra - Resistance bomb leaves a reported two US troops dead, ad Dulu'iyah - Resistance roadside bomb targets US patrol in al-Mushahadah late Saturday morning - Resistance roadside bomb targets US patrol in al-Mahmudiyah midday Saturday - Resistance car bomber blasts US foot patrol; eight American troops reported killed http://www.albasrah.net/en_articles_2005/0805/iraqiresistancereport_130805.htm === Six U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq Bombings Six U.S. soldiers died in roadside bombings and a shooting, the military said Sunday http://www.thetimesonline.com/articles/2005/08/14/ap/headlines/d8bvktc00.txt === Three US soldiers killed by bomb in northern Iraq BAGHDAD, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers were killed and another was wounded when their patrol struck a roadside bomb in northern Iraq, the U.S. military said on Sunday. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L1447868.htm === Bush slaps down top general after he calls for troops to be pulled out of Iraq The top American commander in Iraq has been privately rebuked by the Bush administration for openly discussing plans to reduce troop levels there next year http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/08/14/wirq14.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/08/14/ixworld.html === Rescued soldier: I was used JESSICA LYNCH, the former US army supply clerk who became a national icon after her capture and rescue during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, says she was used by the Pentagon to show the war was going great. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7374-1726992,00.html === Bush defends refusal to meet Cindy Sheehan "I think its important for me to go on with my life" Bush has just proven that he is not only a liar, but an insensitive and totally unrepentant one. Any of you readers who were hoping for some 11th hour miracle that would result in the government reforming itself and reversing the current headlong rush into WW3 should realize by now that Dubya is perfectly happy with the way things are, and has NO reason at all to stop what he is doing. Is he is ever to have a reason to stop what he is doing, YOU will have to give it to him. http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=7606 === Mother's stand becomes a movement A crooked straw hat shielding her face from the relentless Texas sun, Cindy Sheehan stands on the grassy edge of a rural highway, greeting a line of cars that stretches as far as the eye can see. http://www.insidebayarea.com/oaklandtribune/localnews/ci_2942162 === Sometimes, one woman is all it takes Someday, when the account of this sorry period in American history is recorded, Cindy Sheehan may be recalled in the same way we recall that lonely Chinese man who stood before a tank near Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989. http://www.pressconnects.com/today/opinion/stories/op081405s184471.shtml === They Came to Crawford This past week, I traveled from New York to the road from Waco to Crawford with my wife, Peg, and our dog, Ben, to get a first-hand look at Camp Casey. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/8/14/124323/004 === Various Israeli conspiracy theories There is so much deep 'n meaty conspiracy theory flying around the United States now that it just might be 1963, or 1973, again. The indictment of Jack Abramoff is just so, so . . . nixonian, Abramoff being the Bebe Rebozo of his time. The similarity is that each is the connection between the highest levels of the Republican Party, organized crime, and a weirdo hate group, in Bebe's case anti-Castro Cubans (an ongoing Repub connection), in Jack's case the Israeli settler movement. http://xymphora.blogspot.com/ === Two groups of soldiers caught looting evacuated Gush Katif homes Two groups of Israel Defense Forces soldiers were caught Sunday stealing property from evacuated homes in a Gush Katif settlement. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/612479.html === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
