9/11 -- THE MOST POLITICIZED CRIME IN MODERN HISTORY
That crime has been used to justify a long list of policies and politics that are robbing both this generation and the next of certain rights and freedoms that the Western liberal movement achieved only after a long struggle with oppressive traditions.

FIVE YEARS AFTER: THE FIRST IN A SERIES ON THE REVERBERATIONS OF 9/11 - For Muslims, guilt by association
When Ahmed Farooq crosses the Canada-U.S. border, he isn't surprised when he is singled out for questioning. He is, after all, a young, single, Muslim man born in Saudi Arabia who fits the racial profile of would-be terrorists.

Why I hate America by Khalid Amayreh - written a few weeks after the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York
Palestinian journalist Khalid Amayreh wrote this article nearly five years ago, a few weeks after the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Many people thought then the article was too emotional. However, America's behavior in the Muslim world since then, seems to have vindicated every word and every bit of anger in the article.

What Motivated the 9/11 Hijackers? The Hidden Truth
The 9-11 Commission held its twelfth and final public hearing June 16-17, 2004, in Washington, DC. On June 16 the Commission heard from several of the federal government's top law enforcement and intelligence experts on al Qaeda and the 9-11 plot. It was at this hearing that the question "What motivated them to do it?" was finally asked. Watch it.

Racism over 9-11 remains
Some were Muslim, some were Sikh, said Abou-Absi, but they all fit the images of terror to North Americans - they had similar features to the Arab Middle Eastern men fingered for the terror attacks.
Abou-Absi's house was egged. The association received threatening phone calls and hate mail.
Five years later, with 9-11-related wars still raging in Iraq and Afghanistan, the racism and hatred isn't as sharp, said Abou-Absi.
"It's not so overt now," she said, adding the hate mail and nasty calls continue.

9/11 : The `war on terror' will turn a generation of angry young men against the West
It's only Western arrogance that leads us to imagine our invasions will be received differently. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart captured the absurdity of this notion with a spoof on Condoleezza Rice's blithe dismissal of the recent suffering in Lebanon as just part of the "birth pangs of a new Middle East." In the spoof, an Arab commentator suggests that Middle Easterners willingly accept these birth pangs, just as Americans accept 9/11 as the "birth pangs of a new America."

9/11 : Bush's Admission of Secret CIA Jails Makes a Mockery of His Preaching "Human Rights"
London, UK , September 7, 2006 – Yesterday President George W Bush acknowledged what many already knew: The CIA operates secret jails in Europe and around the world, where people are detained without charge or trial. He stressed that such secret jails will continue to exist claiming that "having a CIA program for questioning terrorists will continue to be crucial to getting lifesaving information." Fourteen of these detainees have now been transferred to Guantanamo Bay to face a closed military tribunal .

The wages of war: Global terrorism up since 9/11 attacks
The Bush administration continues to argue the virtues of staying the present course. But, in light of our experience so far, this more and more tests the patience, credulity, fiscal sobriety, and risk tolerance of the American public.

9/11 : "Living in a State of Terror - the Gujarat genocide, four years later"
With all the buzz about terrorist attacks, state terrorism in India remains a silent, unpunished crime. Survivors of Gujarat's genocide in 2002, in which girls and women were especially targeted, are still living in fear, struggling for justice against a government that instigated the attacks. Journalist Dionne Bunsha's book, SCARRED: Experiments with Violence in Gujarat (Penguin India, 2006), is about the communal pogrom in Gujarat 2002, its aftermath and life in the Hindu extremist party's model state.

War-Mongering America Terrorizes the World
There is something important to be learned from the recent experience of the United States and Israel in the Middle East: that massive military attacks, inevitably indiscriminate, are not only morally reprehensible, but useless in achieving the stated aims of those who carry them out.

America’s Ideologue in Chief
“Democracies don’t attack each other or threaten the peace,” said Bush. How does he then explain the War of 1812, when we went to war against Britain, when she was standing up to Napoleon? What about the War Between the States? Were not the seceding states democratic? What about the Boer War, begun by the Brits? What about World War I, fought between the world’s democracies, which also happened to be empires ruling subject peoples?

The myth of fair elections in America

One person, one vote. Count the totals. The one with the most wins. The beauty of democracy is its simplicity and its inherent fairness. It equalises everyone, even as it empowers everyone. What could go wrong? In America, it turns out, quite a lot.

The Torturer's Apprentice
Grabbing the headlines today is the fact that Bush has admitted that the CIA has taken high-value captives to prisons abroad for interrogation using “tough” techniques. More telling is the fact that CIA interrogators are not bound by the strictures of the new Army field manual, and that the president is determined to maintain in place detention centers where CIA interrogators can ply their trade at his bequest.
