Guantanamo: A Disgrace to Humanity
In a recent appearance on German TV, US President George Bush showed a desire for closing down the accursed Guantanamo prison. This is no surprise considering the spate of criticism coming almost daily from various human rights organizations and peace activists worldwide.
They have called for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, opened by the US administration in 2002 to house a number of suspects in total isolation from the outside world. The inmates are put under unimaginably harsh conditions and are under strict round-the-clock watch and hence cannot even think of escape from the jail.

Israeli planes attack bridge in Gaza
Israeli soldiers listen to their commander next to a line of armored vehicles at a gathering point near Kibbutz Mefalsim southern Israel, Monday, June 26, 2006. Israel on Monday ruled out negotiations with the Palestinian captors of an Israeli soldier, promising a "broad and ongoing" military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
So, as I understand it, Israeli occupiers shells a beach in Gaza, but denies responsability. Palestinians (we are told) kidnap an IDF soldier occupying their land, so now Israel starts killing everyone.

Israeli "Retaliation" and Double Standards
In the skewed moral and news priorities of the BBC, the killing of two Israeli soldiers by Palestinian militants -- the "escalation" -- provides a justification for "fierce retaliation" against Gaza, with the inevitable toll on Palestinian civilians and militants alike. The earlier killing of tens of Palestinian civilians by the Israeli military, however, is not presented as justification for yesterday's Palestinian retaliation against the army.
In other words, on the scale of moral outrage the BBC ranks the deaths of Israeli soldiers enforcing an illegal occupation far above those of Palestinian civilians enduring the illegal occupation.

Dallas council mystified by FBI
A year ago, the FBI raided the offices of two Dallas City Council members, subpoenaed records and documents from several others, and confiscated thousands of pages of contracts, e-mails and telephone records of companies dealing with the city.
A year later, there have been no indictments, and the FBI refuses to comment on the case that generated a citywide uproar, especially within the black community because the 10 city leaders being investigated are black.
