A Pact With the Devil
The Bush administration is guilty; the mass media is guilty; and if you supported this vile crime against humanity you too are guilty. I pray to God every night that all the guilty will receive their proper judgment and the sooner the better.

The Patriots of Guantanamo
There is a small band of men who are such firm believers in the protections of the Bill of Rights that they are willing to lay down their lives to defend these principles. They aren't soldiers or civil libertarians they are a group of "enemy combatants" confined in the gulag of Guantanamo.

Senate Approves Plan to Limit Detainee Access to Courts:
The Senate endorsed a plan yesterday that would sharply limit suspected foreign terrorists' access to U.S. courts, an effort to overturn a landmark 2004 Supreme Court ruling that has allowed hundreds of detainees held by the military at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to challenge their detentions.

Detainees in legal limbo:
U.S. citizen Jose Padilla, has been indefinitely detained without charge, under lock and key in a Navy brig, since June 2002. When an American can be plucked off the street in Chicago and detained without charge or regular access to a lawyer for more than three years, every citizen has reason for concern.

Who are the Guantánamo detainees?:
Omar Khadr was taken into US custody when he was 15 years old. The US government has said that all detainees are "treated in a manner appropriate to their age and status". If this is true, then the case of Omar Khadr indicates that an "appropriate manner" involves torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment as well as denial of any form of justice.

Senate votes to strip Guantanamo detainees of their right to sue

If the government can revoke a right at will, then it was never a right to begin with, but merely an indulgence granted to slaves by their master.

Democrats and the War :
The war--an unprovoked, unnecessary and unlawful invasion that has turned into a colonial-style occupation--is a moral and political catastrophe. As such it is a growing stain on the honor of every American who acquiesces, actively or passively, in its conduct and continuation.

9/11: BYU professor thinks bombs, not planes, toppled WTC
The physics of 9/11 including how fast and symmetrically one of the World Trade Center buildings fell prove that official explanations of the collapses are wrong, says a Brigham Young University physics professor.

9/11: Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse?
In writing this paper, I call for a serious investigation of the hypothesis that WTC 7 and the Twin Towers were brought down, not just by damage and fires, but through the use of pre-positioned explosives. I consider the official FEMA, NIST, and 9-11 Commission reports that fires plus damage alone caused complete collapses of all three buildings. And I present evidence for the explosive-demolition hypothesis, which is suggested by the available data, testable and falsifiable, and yet has not been analyzed in any of the reports funded by the US government.

A name that lives in infamy
The destruction of Falluja was an act of barbarism that ranks alongside My Lai, Guernica and Halabja
One year ago this week, US-led occupying forces launched a devastating assault on the Iraqi city of Falluja. The mood was set by Lt Col Gary Brandl: "The enemy has got a face. He's called Satan. He's in Falluja. And we're going to destroy him." The assault was preceded by eight weeks of aerial bombardment. US troops cut off the
city's water, power and food supplies, condemned as a violation of the Geneva convention by a UN special rapporteur, who accused occupying forces of "using hunger and deprivation of water as a weapon of war against the civilian population". Two-thirds of the city's 300,000 residents fled, many to squatters' camps without
basic facilities.

The White Death
The slaughter in Fallujah was a microcosm of the entire misbegotten enterprise launched by those two eminent Christian statesmen, U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair: a brutal act of collective punishment for defying the imperial will, a high-tech turkey shoot that mowed down the just and unjust alike, an idiotic strategic blunder that has exacerbated the violence and hatred it was meant to quell.

Hopes fade of trapping many insurgents in western Iraq :
Commanders had hoped to trap scores of insurgents in Karabilah, squeezing them from the neighboring town of Husaybah against U.S. blocking positions around the city. But when 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, marched in just after noon Thursday, they found only abandoned buildings and some roadside bombs.

Was Saddam Right? Are Americans the New Mongols of the Mideast?
November 10, 2005 -- Saddam was correct. In 2003, the editor wrote the following article about Saddam Hussein's prediction that the Americans would loot and destroy Baghdad as had the Mongol hordes of the 13th century. Saddam was correct in his prognostication. The use of white phosphorous weapons on women and children, the sodomizing by US and contractor troops of imprisoned Iraqi boys and girls, the systematic looting of museums and historical sites by international gangsters as US troops look on. Of course, the neo-cons are no different than the Mongol hordes or the German Nazis for that matter.

Jordan's King has more friends in West than at home
It was a bloody, cruel message to the Plucky Little King Mark II. Help the Americans, train their Iraqi policemen, entertain their special forces officers and you will be a new target of al-Qa'ida. Not that new, of course. A US embassy employee, Laurence Foley, the softest of targets because he loved the Middle East and lived at home in Amman, was killed three years ago. But 56 dead, most of them Jordanians, is a devastating blow to the man who once ran the supposedly "elite" Jordanian special forces and who is King of that little sandpit Winston Churchill created and called "Jordan" .

It's true! Israelis were evacuated before the Jordanian hotel bombings.
MMN: The following is a quote from this article: http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-fg-bombings10nov10,1,4818949.story?ctrack=1&cset=true
I'm sure we all have our own comments on this, and what about all the foreigners killed and injured?
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Israelis staying at the Radisson on Wednesday had been evacuated before the attacks and escorted back home "apparently due to a specific security threat."

Israel to continue using human shields, but call them something else
New `outstretched arm' to replace IDF's human shields
The Israel Defense Forces has recently developed a new procedure for arresting suspects in the territories. It will replace the human shield procedure, also known as "early warning," under which the IDF used a neighbor to warn a suspect. This method was recently forbidden by the High Court of Justice.

I am a Vietnam-era graduate of the US Naval Academy. I served in the Navy for nine years, three of them working with airborne Marines and the 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg. And I am so fucking angry I could scream.
Your piss-poor speech today - of all days - proves that you don't know jack shit about the military and the needs of men and women in uniform. You took a sacred occasion and turned it into a political soapbox to cover your chickenhawk ass. Fucking coward.
