The 9/11 Truth Movement's Dangers
According to a July poll conducted by Scripps News Service, one-third of
Americans think the government either carried out the 9/11 attacks or
intentionally allowed them to happen in order to provide a pretext for
war in the Middle East. This is at once alarming and unsurprising.
Alarming, because if tens of millions of Americans really believe their
government was complicit in the murder of 3,000 of their fellow
citizens, they seem remarkably sanguine about this fact. By and large,
life continues as before, even though tens of millions of people
apparently believe they are being governed by mass murderers.
Unsurprising, because the government these Americans suspect of
complicity in 9/11 has acquired a justified reputation for deception:
weapons of mass destruction, secret prisons, illegal wiretapping. What
else are they hiding?

9/11 : Anthrax attack on US Congress made by scientists and covered up
by FBI, expert says
The terrorists who perpetrated the 2001 anthrax attack on Congress
likely were US government scientists at the army's Ft. Detrick, MD.,
bioterrorism lab having access to "moonsuits" that enabled them to
safely process and manufacture super-weapons-grade anthrax, an eminent
authority on the subject says.
Although only a "handful" of scientists had the ability to perpetrate
the crime, the culprit among them may never be identified as the FBI
ordered the destruction of the anthrax culture collection at Ames, IA.,
from which the Ft. Detrick lab got its pathogens, the authority said.
This action makes it impossible "to pin-point precisely where, when, and
from whom these bio-agents had originated," said Dr. Francis A. Boyle of
the University of Illinois at Champaign.

9/11 : Routine and Systematic Torture Is at the Heart of America's War
on Terror
In the fight against cruelty, barbarism and extremism, America has
embraced the very evils it claims to confront.
After thousands of years of practice, you might have imagined that every
possible means of inflicting pain had already been devised. But you
should never underestimate the human capacity for invention. United
States interrogators, we now discover, have found a new way of
destroying a human being.

9/11 : The Road To Guantanamo
In this compelling docudrama by Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross,
the 'Tipton Three' narrate their own experiences in America's
controversial offshore detention camp. Three young British Muslims tell
the story of how they came to be in US custody at Guantánamo for over
two years, and discuss the Kafkaesque horrors that awaited them there,
until finally they were released without charge or apology.

655,000 Excess Deaths In Iraq Since U.S. Invasion?
Francesco Checchi, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and

THE UGLY AMERICAN WHO REMAINS IGNORANT
The 'Creative Chaos' in Iraq at its best, is a madness and insanity that
reflects the neoconservatives' doctrine in Washington. It is designed to
control the "Middle East" in an effort to rip it apart further more, to
weaken it, and to turn the region into insignificant sectarian and
ethnic powerless mini states.

It Was True Then and Its True Now : Blair Is A Coward
The current American elite is the Third Reich of our times, although
this distinction ought not to let us forget that they have merely
accelerated more than half a century of unrelenting American state
terrorism: from the atomic bombs dropped cynically on Japan as a signal
of their new power to the dozens of countries invaded, directly or by
proxy, to destroy democracy wherever it collided with American
"interests", such as a voracious appetite for the world's resources,
like oil.

The Most Dangerous Place in Iraq
Dispatch: While the world focuses its attention on Baghdad, U.S. troops
are killed in Iraq's Anbar Province in greater numbers than anywhere
else in the war-torn country
There wasn't much blood on the last casualty of the day in Ramadi, the
capital of al-Anbar Province. The bandages on the face of the American
soldier who arrived at the U.S. field hospital in the area around
midnight Dec. 6 were only a little red as medics crowded around him at
the operating table. Navy Commander Carlos Brown, the chief surgeon at
Camp Ramadi, peered at the bullet wound in the soldier's lower face as
his team quickly cut clothes off the man and readied surgical equipment.
"Stop," Brown said suddenly. All hands fell away from the table, and
everyone grew silent. "He's dead."

Jordanians say faced torture by US in Iraq
AMMAN/BAGHDAD - Three Jordanians who were freed from Iraqi jails last
November said they were subjected to "indescribable psychological and
physical torture" by the US forces during detention.
The Jordanians - Hassan Sharafat, 56, Naji al-Waladat, 35, and Ahmed
Rashad al-Jabaari, 35 - said on Tuesday in a press conference organised
by the Arab Organisation for Human Rights (AOHR) that they were held for
more than three years without a court order. Sharafat and Waladat worked
as truck drivers between Jordan and Iraq while al-Jabaari was a
businessman in Iraq.

West's attempt to divide Iraq on sectarian grounds
Several years before the 2003 U.S. invasion, western media had already
divided the Iraqi society into several ethnic and sectarian groups. Even
western powers, particularly the U.S. and the U.K. had their prior
invasion policies based on the fact that Iraq was divisible into at
least three separate ethnic, sectarian and geographical regions.

Video : Homeless because they are Sunni
Scores of Sunni families have marched through a mixed area of Baghdad
after gunmen from a Shi'ite militia forced then from their homes.
Police say Shi'ite militias stormed the religiously mixed Hurriya
neighbourhood in western Baghdad on Saturday, killing two people and
forcing dozens of Sunni families to flee.
The evictions took place as the outgoing Defence Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld visited U.S. troops in Baghdad.

The Anatomy of a Zionist Smear Campaign
Zionism means one thing: sustaining Jewish rule, dominance and control
over the land that the Zionists themselves claim shall be populated
exclusively (well, that's the goal, ladies and gentlemen) by Jews. The
land they themselves have determined they are entitled to is Palestine,
which happened to have already been densely populated by another
national group, the Palestinians. Zionism, when we take off the blinders
and look at it practically, is neither a noble mission nor a liberation
movement. Those who support Zionism may not approve of every instrument
it uses to keep this control, but making this land into a land for Jews
automatically means engaging in unethical behaviour. It means committing
some atrocities and violating international law. There is no debate
here, Israel was founded in an illegitimate and unilateral manner. This
is a problem that has never been resolved.

Engelhard: Carter's Book is Mein Kampf, Protocols
Novelist Jack Engelhard, minus a firm grip on reality, absurdly
lambastes former president Jimmy Carter as the author of a modern day
version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Engelhard is whirled
into a tizzy by Carter's Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid published
recently by Simon & Schuster, not exactly the publishing wing of Hamas.
"Israel's continued control and colonization of Palestinian land have
been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the
Holy Land," writes Carter.
For Englehard, however, telling this simple and undeniable truth is akin
to "Holocaust Part 2," and is downright biblical, as in the Old
Testament part of the Bible. "Historians tell us that Pharaoh was the
first to stir up the multitudes against the Jews, and we have it from
Scripture that a new Pharaoh will arise to torment us from generation to
generation." Carter, according to Englehard, is this "new Pharaoh,"
arrived to persecute the Jews, never mind the colonization Carter writes
about is an established and verifiable fact, one systematically ignored
by Englehard.

Jesus Camp
Jesus camp is a rare document. It is one of the few honest portrayals of
the right wing evangelist's movement. The documentary follows Pastor
Becky Fisher and her congregation. Ms. Fischer, an evangelical
Christian, helps run Kids on Fire, a summer camp in Devils Lake, N.D.,
that grooms children to be soldiers in “God's army.” The result is a
very disturbing film.

SANTA MIGHT NOT PASS THROUGH SECURITY AT BETHLEHEM THIS YEAR
With the Christmas holiday approaching, the annual pilgrimage to
Bethlehem might be quite limited this year. Economic hardships in most
Palestinian areas as well as the difficulty in getting there because of
the apartheid wall has put a damper on the celebrations weeks before
they even start.
How ironic that the very place that the 'Prince of Peace' was born in is
now a war torn city.... ironic and sad.
There is still time to change the situation, but somehow it seems that
the spirit of Christmas will be best celebrated elsewhere this year.
The following report appeared on Yahoo News this evening....
