Muslims in US and around the world feel the pressure of terrorism crackdown
More than four years after the Sept. 11 attacks, Muslims in the United States and around the world are grappling with tension inside and outside their faith. Many have come to believe that the war on terrorism is really a war on Islam.
As Sheikh Shaker el Sayed stood before his congregation for the start of Friday prayers last month at Dar al-Hijrah Mosque, he looked out upon a community that was in distress but strong in faith.

"An act of blatant state terrorism, "
Video and text of his Nobel Prize acceptance speech
The 2,000 American dead are an embarrassment. They are transported to their graves in the dark. Funerals are unobtrusive, out of harm's way. The mutilated rot in their beds, some for the rest of their lives. So the dead and the mutilated both rot, in different kinds of graves.

Torture Is an American Value
Reality vs. the Rhetoric
Instead of the recent euphemism "illegal combatants," the United State in Vietnam claimed prisoners were "criminal" and therefore exempt from Geneva Convention protections. The use of torture as a function of terror, or its equivalent in sadistic behavior, has been historic de facto U.S. policy.

9/11 Dutch TV documentary
In this documentary Michael Meacher - former British Minister for the Environment, and Andreas von Bulow - former German Secretary of Defense - express grave doubts about the official version of 9/11. Specific reference is made to PNAC and the "Rebuilding America's Defenses" call for a "New Pearl Harbor".

Senate Votes Define GOP Response to 9/11 Commission
The 9/11 Commission got together on Monday to give the Bush administration a report card for how they have done in protecting Americans in, as the neo-conservatives like to call it, the "post-9/11 world." Nobody was really surprised to find that the president and the Republican party have done almost nothing to follow the panel's recommendations. Maybe because they know 9-11 was all a hoax to begin with?

Meet the New Interrogators: Lockheed Martin
Dozens of people converged this summer in the high desert town of El Paso, Texas, en route to spending six months in Iraqi prisons. They were going not as prisoners, but as their interrogators, walking a legalistic tightrope stretched across the Geneva Conventions. Just for signing up, they got a $2,000 check from a company that is rapidly becoming one of the key employers in the world of intelligence: Lockheed Martin, the world's biggest military company, based in Bethesda, Maryland.

Seized, held, tortured: six tell same tale
Mamdouh Habib, 49, an Australian citizen, was caught up in the rendition system after being arrested near the Pakistani-Afghan border shortly after the 9/11 attacks. His lawyers say he was bundled aboard a small jet by men speaking English with American accents and flown to Egypt, the country where he was born. For the next six months, they say, he was held in a Cairo jail, where he was hung from hooks, beaten, given shocks from an electric cattle prod, and told he was to be raped by dogs.

No peace with Sharon
The Gaza withdrawal has been a veil for continued persecution and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
I know the attractive Israeli seaside resort of Netanya well, having stayed several times at my niece's flat there. Not long ago I heard on BBC radio a series of interviews with residents of Netanya, which has in the past suffered a number of terrorist attacks. They rejoiced at how much easier the situation had become following the building of the Israeli separation wall, designed specifically to protect places like Netanya, located at the narrow neck of Israel's pre-1967 border. Two days ago five people were killed in a suicide bombing in Netanya.

Dear Abby: Do Israelis have Christians in their Government?
If we look at other cabinet positions in the US government we see that Jews have served us proudly, many times in the past, in positions as critical as the Secretary of Defense. But, there is also concern, as many have described, regarding the heavy weighting of Jewish participation in the so-called neo-con group at the Pentagon?s Office of Special Plans. The OSP gave America the PNAC treatise, the invasion of Iraq, and a beating of the drums to invade Iran. And now we learn that a government official in the OSP, Larry Franklin, and two executives of the Israeli lobby, AIPAC, have been indicted for espionage, against the US, on behalf of Israel.

Keepers at the Gate
He Who Controls Television Controls the Masses
With Americans watching so much television on a weekly basis, discarding books of enlightenment for monitors of idiocy, preferring the drug of fantasy over the sobering realm of reality, no longer capable of analytical, logical thought, choosing to incorporate as their own the views, beliefs and opinions of corporate media, the keepers at the gate are free to do as they please, disseminating lies, distortions, manipulations, propaganda and fictions into our homes and the minds of our family, young and old, never discriminating and always flowing in the interest of the Establishment.

FLASHBACK: December 7, 1941: A Setup from the Beginning
Congress was specific in its finding against the 1941 White House: Kimmel and Short were cut off from the intelligence pipeline that located Japanese forces advancing on Hawaii. Then, after the successful Japanese raid, both commanders were relieved of their commands, blamed for failing to ward off the attack, and demoted in rank.

CNN Virtually Ignores Pearl Harbor Anniversary. Hiding the PNAC - 9/11 Connection?
I don?t know about you but I have not heard a single mention of the anniversary of Pearl Harbor today; at least not on CNN. I have been monitoring CNN for over 3 hours and I have not heard anything about this important anniversary. Could it be that they don?t want the words ?Pearl Harbor? mentioned? (UPDATE 10:35 AM ET: CNN mentioned Pearl Harbor in their news update. No stories on the event however.)

HISTORY OF PEARL HARBOR - WE FIND THE BONES OF "STATION H"
On November 24th, 1941, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto sent a radio message to Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, Commander of the Pacific Striking Fleet, which read in part,
"The task force, keeping its movement strictly secret and maintaining close guard against submarines and aircraft, shall advance into Hawaiian waters, and upon the very opening of hostilities shall attack the main force of the United States fleet in Hawaii and deal it a mortal blow".
Contrary to the government propaganda that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a total surprise, documents declassified in May 2000 confirm that Yamamoto's message was intercepted in Hawaii at a radio intercept station known as "Station H" overlooking Kaneohe Bay on windward Oahu.
