=== News Update === Democracy is an Illusion A "Far Side" cartoon describes our innocence about democracy. A slave rowing a Viking ship puts up his hand and calls to the whip master: "Yoo-hoo! Oh, yoo-hoo... I think I'm getting a blister." Like this man, most people cling to the belief that our leaders represent our interests. "Yoo, hoo, Mr. Bush, you lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction." http://www.savethemales.ca/ === When Tyranny is Law, Revolution is Order The stress on the need for more and more laws gives us the impression as if it was the lack of laws that lead to terrorism in the first place. Even a cursory analysis shows that the target of the proposed terror laws is the basic principles that ensure justice and fairness. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9893.htm === What Does Democracy Really Mean In The Middle East? Whatever The West Decides So its courageous, is it, to sit in a time capsule, sealed off from your people by miles of concrete walls, and argue about the future of a nation which is in anarchy. Then Condoleezza Rice steps forward to tell us this is all part of the "road to democracy" in the Middle East. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9888.htm === American violence in Iraq - Necrophilia or savagery? Concentrating on the Iraq war is a fundamental prerequisite to the understanding of the new wars of colonialist conquests ushered in by the United States under Bush. http://www.onlinejournal.com/Commentary/081605Petersen-1/081605petersen-1.html === Wars Need to Be Prevented, Not Stopped No matter what the evidence of lies, no matter what the "intelligence" really said, no matter what the damage to the nation and its citizens and soldiers, warmongers will be warmongers. http://metimes.com/articles/normal.php?StoryID=20050815-084045-4860r === Walking the Wrong Way The Bush administration has announced plans for a Freedom Walk on Sept. 11, which will start at the Pentagon and end at the National Mall, and include a country music concert. The event is an ill-considered attempt to link the Iraq war to the terrorist attacks of 2001, and misguided in almost every conceivable way. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9897.htm === BUSH CAVES IN TO ISLAMIST CONSTITUTION FOR IRAQ -- AND THE U.S. PRESS MISSES THE STORY Posted Aug 21, 2005 08:07 AM PST - Category: IRAQ Congratulations Dubya, you just wiped out the only secular government in the region. http://direland.typepad.com/direland/2005/08/bush_caves_in_t.html === Army Planning for 4 More Years in Iraq Why? There were no WMDs. Iraq was not aiding Al Qaeda. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. Saddam is in jail. The Iraqi people do not want want the US there. So, why stay another four days, let alone four years? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050820/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/army_chief_interview&printer=1;_ylt=Agt0WWkoE_3MURutJBWEX8uWwvIE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3MXN1bHE0BHNlYwN0bWE- === Former aide: Powell WMD speech 'lowest point in my life' "I wish I had not been involved in it," says Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a longtime Powell adviser who served as his chief of staff from 2002 through 2005. "I look back on it, and I still say it was the lowest point in my life." CNN's program, "Inside an Intelligence Meltdown" is a pathetic attempt to sell the "it was all an honest mistake" crap to the American people. But the forged document that claimed Iraq was buying Uranium from Niger, and the "Dodgy Dossier" prove beyond all doubt that the claim of Iraqi WMDs was a deliberate deception. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/08/19/powell.un/ === Soldier 'instructed' to abuse Abu Ghraib prisoners One of the US soldiers convicted of mistreating prisoners at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison says his superiors made it clear those incarcerated were to be abused. http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200508/s1442489.htm === Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Saturday, 20 August 2005 : - Twelve US troops reported killed in three Resistance attacks in al-Fallujah Saturday morning - Fifteen American troops reported killed in triple car bombing near Iranian border - Puppet army colonel admits nine US soldiers killed in last 48 hours in Mosul - US opens huge new Iraqi Guantanamo with 13,000-prisoner capacity in northern Iraq http://www.albasrah.net/en_articles_2005/0805/iraqiresistancereport_200805.htm === U.S. Soldier Killed by Roadside Bomb in Iraq A U.S. soldier was killed Sunday when his vehicle struck a roadside bomb in northern Iraq, the military said. http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGB4QSMMNCE.html === Maryland Soldier Dies In Iraq (WJZ) Pocomoke City, MD A soldier with ties to the Eastern Shore has been killed in Iraq, his family said. http://wjz.com/local/local_story_232202911.html === Iraq insurgents kill 10 Three Iraqi soldiers were killed in the former rebel enclave of Fallujah when insurgents threw a grenade at a passing army patrol. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20050820/wl_mideast_afp/iraqunrest === Iraqi general says US troops shot him -police An Iraqi general who commands the country's border defence force was shot and wounded while driving in Baghdad late on Saturday and accused U.S. troops of firing on his car, police and hospital sources said. http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=worldNews&summit=&storyid=2005-08-20T185841Z_01_WRI068199_RTRUKOC_0_UK-IRAQ-GENERAL.xml === Karl Rove's War Against Cindy Sheehan To slander opponents so their political positions are discredited -- Karl Rove's doctrine has been immensely effective in defeating Bush's challengers; will it now be effective in defeating grieving mother Cindy Sheehan? http://www.interventionmag.com/cms/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1143 === Afghanistan Bombs Kill 4 US Soldiers, Wound 2 American Officials A roadside bomb in southern Zabul province killed the four soldiers and wounded three others early Sunday. Hours later, in the western outskirts of Kabul, a roadside bomb went off near a convoy of U.S. Embassy vehicles, slightly wounding two embassy officials. http://www.voanews.com/english/2005-08-21-voa15.cfm === New Taliban proves to be formidable foe Nearly four years after a U.S.-led military intervention toppled them from power, the Taliban has re-emerged as a potent threat to stability in Afghanistan. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9892.htm === Israeli Spying: The Mother of all Scandals So here is the mother of all scandals. For two years, the FBI has suspected AIPAC of spying for a foreign country, and for those two years (and for decades before) that group suspected of spying for Israel has been reshaping the US Congress for the benefit of a foreign government. And THAT is the mother of all scandals. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/motherofallscandals.html === Bush's 'bruiser' squares up to UN in row over Palestinian propaganda Timothy Rothermel, head of the organisation's Palestinian programme, was quoted on Fox News, the American cable channel, as saying that the slogan was "consistent with the relevant UN resolutions and Security Council resolutions about the status of Palestine". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/08/21/wmid221.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/08/21/ixnewstop.html === Bush Confidante Begins Task of Repairing America's Image Abroad For years, President Bush has called on Karen P. Hughes, his confidante from Texas, to help devise replies to attacks from political foes. Now Ms. Hughes, installed at the State Department, plans to set up "rapid response" teams to counter bad news and defend administration policies around the globe. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/21/politics/21diplo.html === The Madness of Boy George and Me and You Arguably you have less money and freedom so someone won, but it wasnt you. You lost. You lost big time. Since this should be, by default, some sort of pyrrhic solstice celebration; since you lost!!! I think its only fair that you should at least make their front men pay a terrible price. I think its time for the American Gothic heartland of this benighted coast to coast Wal-Mart to grab their pitch forks and shovels and go get the monster but dont forget Dr. Frankenstein this time. I think its time to storm the castle and take them out into the street and take off their clothes and paint their asses red and make them sing show tunes. http://smokingmirrors.blogspot.com/ === Another Day in the Empire » ADE Hacked Posted Aug 20, 2005 08:14 PM PST - Category: CURRENT EVENTS The Bushistas are getting desperate. http://kurtnimmo.com/blog/?p=914 === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
