9/11 U.S.: More Than 600 Implicated in Detainee Abuse
Investigations Lag Two Years After Abu Ghraib Photos
(Washington, D.C., April 26, 2006) Two years after the Abu Ghraib scandal, new research shows that abuse of detainees in U.S. custody in Iraq, Afghanistan, and at Guantánamo Bay has been widespread, and that the United States has taken only limited steps to investigate and punish implicated personnel.

Cleric Wins Appeal Ruling Over Wiretaps
WASHINGTON, April 26, 2006 An appellate court on Tuesday directed a lower court to consider statements by a Muslim cleric in northern Virginia that he had been illegally wiretapped under the warrantless eavesdropping program that President Bush authorized.
The ruling opened the door to what could be the first ruling by a federal court on whether information obtained under the program, operated by the National Security Agency, had been improperly used in a criminal prosecution.

THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION: WHY AMERICANS WILL BELIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING
We are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world has ever known. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our very awareness of the whole design seems like it is being subtly and inexorably erased. The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely regulated. Who cares, right?

Is US Democracy Sleepwalking Into a Nightmare?
Has the White House lost its collective mind ? Do the president and his minions believe that Americans can be stampeded into another needless war to save his party from the consequences of the catastrophe in Iraq ? Is the Bush administration seriously thinking of bombing Iran for political purposes ? Of a nuclear strike ? Is it actually possible, as has been said, that George W. Bush believes himself to be on a divine, messianic mission ? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then our democracy may be sleepwalking into its worst crisis since the Civil War.

Bush Says He Tried to Avoid War 'To The Max,' Explains How God Shapes His Foreign Policy
NEW YORK President Bush today said he had tried to avoid war with Iraq "diplomatically to the max."
Speaking to a business group in Irvine, Ca., he admitted mistakes were made in planning for the Iraq invasion, but he defended the troop level, saying "it was the troop level necessary to do the job," and he would commit the same number if given a second chance.
That the same God that says "Thou shalt not kill?" "Thou shalt not steal?" "Thou shalt not bear false witness?" "Thou shalt not covet they neighbors property?"
THAT God? Or are we talking some other ethereal spirit in control of the situation here?

Holocaust Day in Israel this year was marked by the threats and execrations of the Iranian President. It is now Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's turn to be identified with Hitler. Over the past 60 years there has been almost no Arab leader who has not been, including King Hussein and President Sadat; there are Israelis and Jews abroad who foster this comparison for various reasons. The Holocaust-denier threatening to destroy Israel with an atom bomb is just asking for the comparison.

Wilkerson Fingers the Neo-Cons on Iran: "The Secret Cabal Got What It Wanted: No Negotiations."
It was May 2003. President Bush had declared Mission Accomplished in Iraq. The State Department, which had been unenthusiastic about that war, was not inclined to provoke another with Iran and indeed had been calling for diplomatic engagement with the reform-minded Khatami regime. That regime for its part asked the Swiss ambassador to Tehran to forward to the United States a request for talks. These would address U.S. concerns about its nuclear program, as well as the lifting of sanctions and normalization of relations.
