The Most Evil People in the World?I have come to the conclusion that the Christian fundamentalists, also known as the religious right, are the most evil people in the world. Others (such as those of various Islamic terrorist groups) were considered, but after due consideration, the Christians won . hands down. In fact it was no contest.

9/11: An untold story of 9/11!!!!!A mix-up in Boston prevented the luggage from connecting with the plane that hijackers crashed into the north tower of the trade center. Seized by FBI agents at Boston's Logan Airport, investigators said, it contained Arab-language papers revealing the identities of all 19 hijackers involved in the four hijackings, as well as information on their plans, backgrounds and motives.
Okay, let me see if I have this right. A guy who is planning suicide thoughtfully packs a suitcase he expects he will never see again with all the evidence the FBI will need to figure out the crime if by some miracle that suitcase doesn't get onto the plane that the suicide hijacker expects will perish in a huge ball of flame.
Forget the bovine excrement meter on this one and go straight to building the Ark.

9/11: Zarqawi; the Pentagons ongoing war of deception In more than 3 years of war, there has never been a positive citing of alleged terror mastermind Abu Musab al Zarqawi. This has led many to believe that he is merely a creation of Pentagon propagandists working with their agents in the western press. Colonel Derek Harvey strengthened those suspicions last week.

9-11 LAWSUITS SUPPRESSED: VICTIMS FAMILIES ANGERED OVER SILENCE FROM
MEDIAWhile the media plays up the significance of the government show trial of the seemingly deranged 20th hijacker Zacharias Moussaoui, not one 9-11 victims lawsuit has been allowed to be heard in a trial by jury. Why have the 9-11 victims families not been given the same right to have their cases heard in an open trial?

Rights group urges French inquiry into alleged CIA rendition
flights[JURIST] The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) [advocacy website] is urging French prosecutors to open a judicial inquiry into allegations that CIA-operated rendition flights [JURIST news archive] stopped at French airports. A local French prosecutor has already opened a preliminary investigation into claims that CIA planes which landed at Le Bourget airport outside Paris carried terror suspects being transported to countries where they could be subject to torture. Following a report [PDF text] released by Amnesty International [advocacy website] earlier this month detailing the CIA's alleged use of private air carriers and "front" companies to hide its rendition practices, the FIDH is calling for an international judicial commission to look into the allegations.

From Great Satan to Global Arrogance After a week of the Bush administration declaring diplomacy as still the governing principle behind U.S. policy towards Iran (notwithstanding the fact that "all options", presumably including the ones outlined by Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker are still on the table), I suppose some Americans (and a few in Congress) might be breathing a little sigh of relief. The question to ask now then, is what exactly does diplomacy mean, and how will it be judged to be successful?

Buy-Bull Bangers: Regular, or Extra-Crispy?For those buy-bull bangers who insist that god orders all things that happen, I want you to think about something. President Bush claimed that God told him to invade Iraq. (He'll probably say the same thing about Iran.) You all followed right along, cheering, screaming with joy at each fallen Iraqi body shown on the nightly news. Well, where was your God then? Seen any hurricanes strike Iraq? Or Iran? No?

Blood On Our HandsThis country, my country, has already become a fascist police state. Our government lies to the people, spies on citizens, kidnaps, imprisons without trial, engages in torture, and is leading the country to ruin. Incredibly, all of this is done with the support of its citizens. How is this possible? How can a democratic government abandon the people it serves and squander blood, treasure, and traditions in an irrational pursuit of global domination?

Bombs That Would BackfireThe parallels to the run-up to to war with Iraq are all too striking: remember that in May 2002 President Bush declared that there was "no war plan on my desk" despite having actually spent months working on detailed plans for the Iraq invasion. Congress did not ask the hard questions then. It must not permit the administration to launch another war whose outcome cannot be known, or worse, known all too well.

Science, Humanity and the Iraq HolocaustThe tragedy of post-colonial Iraq since the return of Western armies in 1990 illustrates the perversion of humanitarian values, scientific approaches and rational risk assessment. The bottom-line parameter in any discussion about social policy is the human cost. According to the latest, Web-accessible UN Population Division data (see: http://esa.un.org/unpp/ ) and UNICEF data (see: http://www.unicef.org/index.html ), the "under-5 infant deaths per 1,000 births" in oil-rich Iraq versus impoverished Syria were 200 vs 170 (1953), 50 vs 44 (1990) and 125 vs 16 (sixteen) (2004) i.e. infant mortality decreased enormously under the dictator Saddam Hussein but increased hugely after 1990 due to Western intervention. The post-1990 under-5 infant mortality in Iraq under war-criminal UK-US sanctions, bombs and occupation now totals 1.6 million and the post-1990 excess deaths (i.e. avoidable deaths) now total 2.2 million. The 1990-2003 under-5 infant mortality and excess mortality in Iraq under sanctions and bombing totalled 1.2 million and 1.7 million, respectively; the 2003-2006 figures for post-invasion Occupied Iraq are 0.4 million and 0.5 million, respectively. In comparison, the post-invasion under-5 infant mortality and excess deaths in Occupied Afghanistan now total 1.4 million and 1.8 million, respectively (see MWC News: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/5948/26/ ).

US allies are behind the death squads and ethnic cleansingMuch ink, as well as indignation, is being spent on whether Iraq is on the verge of, in the midst of, or nowhere near civil war. Wherever you stand in this largely semantic debate, the one certainty is that the seedbed for the country's self-destruction is Iraq's plethora of militias. In the apt phrase of Zalmay Khalilzad, the US ambassador in Baghdad, they are the "infrastructure of civil war".

Solana remains silent over the murder of more than 25 Palestinians,
but quick to condemn Tel Aviv bombing Javier Solana, EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy , condemned Monday's bomb attack in Tel Aviv, which killed eight people and injured some 60 others:
"I condemn in the strongest possible terms the terrorist attack perpetrated today in Tel Aviv. I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims, to the Israeli people and to the Israeli authorities,'' said Solana in a statement Issued Monday evening. The EU foreign policy chief called on "all parties to prevent any new descent into a senseless spiral of violence."
More than 25 Palestinians, including two children, have been killed by Israeli forces in the past two weeks, but neither Mr.Solana nor any other EU official issued a statement condemning Israel for the killings.

so..
instead, I'm going to talk about commemorations of Palestinian Prisoners Day (yes, we have so many "days"), and then go to sleep, because God knows we ALL need sleep.
Thousands of Palestinians-mothers, sisters, daughters, sons-from all different factions filled the streets of Gaza City today to commemorate Palestinian Prisoner's Day-April 17.
