Fighting for the rights of Uyghurs - Nobel Peace Prize nominee to raise the
case of persecuted Muslim minority
Rebiya Kadeer, once one of China's richest entrepreneurs, traded her
privileged life in Xinjiang to live in exile near Washington, D.C., as the
voice of the persecuted Uyghurs, a Muslim ethnic minority in China.
One of the cases worrying the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize nominee is that of
Burlington imam Huseyincan Celil, now a political prisoner at an
unspecified location in China.

Another US crime in Ashaqi : Photographic evidence
Eyewitnesses say that the US occupation forces committed a crime against
innocent people in Ishaqi.
The occupation forces besieged the homes of brothers Mohammed Hussein
Jalmood and Mahmoud Hussein Jalmood, opened fire on members of the two
families in the early hours today, to cover up the crime they air bombed
the houses.
People of the area who rushed to the crime scene and removed the bodies
from the rubble found that all victims had been shot at close range, which
confirms that they were mass executed.
About 32 martyrs were targeted by the American forces intentionally among
them 6 children and 8 women.

A Young Marine Speaks Out
I'm sick and tired of this patriotic, nationalistic and fascist crap. I
stood through a memorial service today for a young Marine that was killed
in Iraq back in April. During this memorial a number of people spoke about
the guy and about his sacrifice for the country. How do you justify
'sacrificing' your life for a war which is not only illegal, but is being
prosecuted to the extent where the only thing keeping us there is one man's
power, and his ego.

Honesty in Iraq
How often do we hear the voices of Iraqis in American journalism? How many
of us know their stories? We've killed 650,000 of them, measured as excess
deaths above the level of deaths our sanctions were causing each year
before the war. Since the Spring of 2004 most Iraqis have viewed America as
their primary enemy. But what do we know about their lives?

Iraqis, U.S. dispute 20 deaths in raid

Lynching Saddam - Part 9: "arbitrary detention"
This past summer, as a note to a piece on the role of the so-called
international community in this scandal, I wrote that Saddam Hussein is "a
head of state KIDNAPPED by a foreign power while committing the "crime
against the peace", the "war of aggression" against Iraq. Hes now held
HOSTAGE by that foreign power together with the illegitimate so-called
"government" of Iraq". The AFP reported just a few days ago: Saddam
Hussein's trial fell so far short of international standards that his
detention was "arbitrary", and as such the death sentence should not be
carried out, a working party of the United Nations Human Rights Council has
said. "The non-observance of the relevant international standards during
Mr. Hussein's trial was of such gravity as to confer Mr. Hussein's
deprivation of liberty an arbitrary character," the Council's working group
on arbitrary detention said Tuesday. (
) But since the Insane Society keeps
paralyzing our brains, the AFP goes on: However the working group on
arbitrary detention stressed it was not calling for Saddam Hussein to be
released...

Afghanistans opium crop at an all-time high
The question is why. Under Taliban rule, which began in the late 1990s,
Afghanistan just about kicked the growing habit by 2001. After five years
the Taliban is slipping back in, but poppy production has grown by leaps
and bounds.
According to the Washington Post, "Opium production in Afghanistan, which
provides more than 90 percent of the world's heroin, broke all records in
2006, reaching a historic high despite ongoing U.S.-sponsored eradication
efforts, the Bush administration reported yesterday.

DEMAND A STOP TO ETHNIC CLEANSING IN THE NAQAB
According to recent reports, Israeli interior minister, Roni Bar-On,
declared that his ministry has planned the demolition of more than 42,000
Palestinian homes in the Naqab (Negev) region of Palestine, inside the
borders of present-day Israel. Reports this morning indicate that the
village of Twail Abu-Jarwal has been demolished by the Zionist occupation.
This barbaric escalation against the Palestinians of the Naqab region is a
continuation of the ongoing Zionist project to remove from Palestine its
indigenous inhabitants, and that Israel has practiced since its inception
since 1948. The Palestinians in the Naqab region carry "Israeli citizenship"...
