It has been reported that 737s were used for these flights. Each 737
carries about 100 passengers.
So, do the math. Over 120,000 victims of US torture. That we know about.

The Price of Imperial Overreach - The Withering of the Bush Dynasty
The Bush family has been characterized in various ways including the Bush
dynasty, crime family or syndicate. George Bush is just the latest in a
line of unsavory characters but clearly the bad or worst seed and, in the
eyes of most honest observers, the least worthy of an unworthy lot. He was
supposed to be the latest in the Bush family line chosen to lay another
golden egg for the dynasty but turned out instead to be an ugly duckling
who's just been an embarrassment and much worse because of the course he
chose and his rigid ideological obstinacy to change even in the face of
failure...

Bush's Meeting With A Murderer
President George W. Bush meets today with Abdel Aziz al-Hakim, the turbaned
leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), a
Shiite fundamentalist party that is strongly tied to Iran. In so doing, the
president is meeting with someone who, perhaps more than anyone else in
Iraq, is responsible for trying to destroy Iraqi national unity, prevent
national reconciliation among Iraqs ethnic and sectarian mix, and push
Iraq into civil war. Al-Hakim, who was virtually Fed-Exd into Iraq by the
Pentagon in March 2003, was a mainstay of the Iraqi National Congress, led
by neoconservative darling Ahmed Chalabi throughout the 1990s. And today
al-Hakim controls the SCIRI militia, the Badr Brigade, the Iraqi interior
ministry and many of Iraqs feared death squads. Not to put too fine a
point on it, Hakim is a mass murderer...

Iraq : Excuse me, Ms Becket?
It was with complete arrogance that Britains Foreign Secretary Margaret
Becket, was able to declare on the 1/12/2006, at the Forum for the Future
conference in Jordan, that the education of young people in the Middle East
was key to tackling global problems like chronic underdevelopment, climate
change and terrorism. Joined by foreign ministers of the G8 countries, Ms.
Becket made this announcement to the young people of the East, forgetting
that it was her government and that of fellow conference delegate Ms.
Condalezza Rice, who have helped to create the instability of the region.
The Labour minister failed to mention in her statement, that over 655,000
Iraqis have died as result of her governments fight against terrorism
inside of Iraq with the colonial venture clearly failing with over 71 per
cent of Iraqi's wanting the illegally based troops to leave their country...

Green Zone Iraqis cheer as Abeer is raped
O you Iraqis of the Green Zone. All you false Iraqis earning greenbacks as
your sisters are raped and your brothers are hanged. Where is your honor?
In the Philippines, a US soldier rapes a girl and is put on trial IN
MANILA. In Iraq, several US soldiers rape a girl, burn her body, butcher
her family and try and hide the fact and you cannot even request they be
put on trial in Iraq. And then you cheer the trial of Saddam. We will cheer
your trials in the streets of Baghdad, Najaf, Mosul, Ramadi, Hiyt and Basra...

We Cannot Save the Iraqis from Themselves: Bipartisan Blaming of the
Iraqi People
A recent Washington Post piece by Thomas E. Ricks and Robin Wright
declares, "From troops on the ground to members of Congress, Americans
increasingly blame the continuing violence and destruction in Iraq on the
people most affected by it: the Iraqis." The authors depict a November 15
meeting of the Senate Armed Services Committee "a festival of bipartisan
Iraqi-bashing," quoting the following senators: Carl Levin (D-Michigan,
next chairman of the committee: "We should put the responsibility for
Iraqs future squarely where it belongs -- on the Iraqis. We cannot save
the Iraqis from themselves."...

Nine U.S. troops killed in Iraq - CNN
Nine U.S. troops died in Iraq during the weekend, including five killed by
roadside bombs, the U.S. military reported Sunday. Two soldiers were killed
and two wounded Sunday when a roadside bomb exploded near their vehicle in
northern Iraq, U.S. commanders in the northern city of Tikrit announced.
The soldiers were assigned to the Army's 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division.
Two U.S. soldiers and a Marine died from unspecified "enemy action" in
western Iraq's Anbar province Saturday, the American command in Baghdad
reported, while two U.S. soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb. Anbar,
including the provincial capital Ramadi, has been a hotbed of the mostly
Sunni Arab insurgency against U.S. troops that emerged after the 2003
invasion of Iraq...

How the Taliban prepare for battle
After the Taliban's successful spring offensive there are calls from Kabul
for reconciliation with them, indications from the US and recognition of
the fact from Pakistan that without striking a major deal with the Taliban,
there can be no peace and stability in Afghanistan. The Taliban, though,
forced out of power by the US-led invasion of 2001 for harboring Osama bin
Laden and al-Qaeda, are already planning for next year's offensive, the
central aim of which is to retake Kandahar, their previous spiritual capital...

Jews and Arabs can never live together, says Israel's vice PM
Which is funny, because prior to the creation of Israel, Jews and Arabs DID
live in peace together. In fact, when the Christians started persecuting
the Jews in the middle ages, it was the Arabs who took them in and gave
them safe haven.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth to have a thankless child!

Mideast allies near a state of panic
Instead of flaunting stronger ties and steadfast American influence, the
president's journey found friends both old and new near a state of panic.
Mideast leaders expressed soaring concern over upheavals across the region
that the United States helped ignite through its invasion of Iraq and push
for democracy and fear that the Bush administration may make things worse.
In all, visits designed to show the American team in charge ended instead
in diplomatic embarrassment and disappointment, with U.S. leaders rebuked
and lectured by Arab counterparts. The trips demonstrated that U.S. allies
in the region were struggling to understand what to make of the difficult
relationship, and to figure whether, with a new Democratic majority taking
over Congress, Bush even had control over his nation's Mideast policy.
