of Moderate Islam' (30 July 2005) is likely to conclude that Muslims are

destroy Britain.

David Ray Griffin : 9/11 and the Mainstream Press :
You might assume that the 9/11 Commission would have played the role of an
impartial jury, simply evaluating the evidence for the competing conspiracy
theories and deciding which one was more strongly supported.

Terror attacks are response to military actions
Terrorism is actually a response to military interventions perpetrated by
western governments.
In the official, mainstream view of terrorism the view trumpeted by
western governments, think tanks and media commentators terrorists are
freedom-loathing zealots with an irrational hatred of our western lifestyle
and culture.

Not a Matter of Religious Belief
The aggressors present their aggression and violence as noble.
"Righteous murderers may claim they're spreading democracy and defending
human rights, but clearer heads and common sense can distinguish faith
based motivation of fanatics, who have killed 128,000 people so far because
God told their commander in chief to go to war from those who stand up to
their tyranny and injustice irrespective of their religious belief."

Morality, Terrorism and the Laws of Motion
"Each man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind."
Civilian fatalities in Muslim cities must be tolerated, we are told,
because no war is clean in killing. But terrorists are different. They have
no other intention but to terrorize our civilians and cities. Hence we are
good and they are evil, the logic goes, because they have no moral claim to
violence as we do.

Roberts' radicalism needs media scrutiny:
Roberts argued to the Supreme Court that Roe vs. Wade should be
"overruled." He won a case blocking doctors in many cases from even
discussing reproductive options with their patients. He has ruled in
favor of sweeping powers for the president in this state of perpetual war
-- with frightening implications for our civil liberties.

Facade democracy in America
"Americans like to see themselves as the models and champions of democracy
in the world. Every four years the US presidential elections are hailed as
proving the strength, vibrancy and success of democracy in America,
although the image was somewhat tarnished by the fiasco of the elections in
2000, won by Al Gore but hijacked by George W. Bush with the help of the
Supreme Court. Nonetheless, the Americans' self-image remains undented, as
does their determination according to American propagandists to
maintain the promotion of democracy as the underlying objective of US
foreign policy. "

Officials Routinely Rewarded for Lying and Punished for Telling the Truth
The federal government suffers from a severe disinformation syndrome in
which agency specialists are pressured to alter reports by managers who are
promoted for breaking the law, according to congressional testimony
delivered today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility
(PEER). As a consequence, scientific and technical papers, particularly
within environmental agencies, are routinely censored, altered or
manipulated for political purposes.

The Roots of Prisoner Abuse
This week, the White House blocked a Senate vote on a measure sponsored by
a half-dozen Republicans, including Senator John McCain, that would
prohibit cruel, degrading or inhumane treatment of prisoners. Besides being
outrageous on its face, that action served as a reminder of how the Bush
administration ducks for cover behind the men and women in uniform when
challenged on military policy, but ignores their advice when it seems
inconvenient.

Cheney's boundless Iraq profiteering:
Things are going well in Iraq for the invaders. Well, at least for some
people, such as US Vice-President Richard Cheney. He is receiving more than

he was CEO from 1995 to 2000, in "deferred remuneration" while he is VP. He
