9/11 : Torture, Impeachment and a Vietnam Vet's Tears
In fact, however, aside from the fact that torture is illegal under
international law, and that it is illegal in the U.S. as a signatory of
the Geneva Conventions, since the torture is being conducted upon
captives who have never had their cases examined to determine if they
are indeed terrorists or legitimate combatants or just innocents picked
up for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, it is inevitable that
many of those who are being tortured with the president's approval and
in our names are simply innocents. Some of those innocents have died at
the hands of their tormentors. Others have been driven insane.

Dictatorship : The Unraveling of the Moral Fabric in the American Empire
"...Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and
murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit
suicide. The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is
always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking,
speaking, and writing. Liberty cannot be preserved without a general
knowledge among the People, who have… a right, an indisputable,
unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied
kind of knowledge, I mean the characters and conduct of their rulers.

DICTATORSHIP : America's Injustice System Is Criminal
According to the International Center for Prison Studies at King's
College in London, the US has 700,000 more of its citizens incarcerated
than China, a country with a population four to five times larger than
that of the US, and 1,330,000 more people in prison than crime-ridden
Russia. The US has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's
prisoners. The American incarceration rate is seven times higher than
that of European countries. Either America is the land of criminals, or
something is seriously wrong with the criminal justice (sic) system in
"the land of the free."

Yesterday I let you in on my call to Radhee. Radhee calls me back today.
He reports that:
- Abu Saleem's son , Othman, 13 and half years old was kidnapped by the
Iranian backed Death Squads whilst he went to buy some candies from the
grocery shop.
His kidnappers asked for a ransom of 20'000 USD . Abu Saleem is a poor
man , out of work for nearly a year now. He told them all his belongings
did not amount to this sum.
He received another call later on during the day. The kidnappers have
bargained down the price-10'000 USD or else...
Abu Saleem tried to negotiate with them . He offered that they take his
house and all his belongings, he just wants his son alive. Later on in
the evening, he received yet another call: "You son is dead , his body
can be found in Kerbala."

The Solution to Iraq
No human being, regardless of race, creed, skin color, ethnicity, or
religion, accepts humiliation and subjugation. As such, our military
death toll will grow until the day when the rape and pillage of the “New
American Century” ends and the troops come home. How much more agony
should we force the children of Iraq and America to take.

The Danes are just as criminal as the Americans
With the appearance of the Danish documentary “The Secret
War” (establishing, among other things, that Danish soldiers in
Afghanistan in 2002, contrary to claims of the Danish government,
captured 31 Afghans and handed them over to the Americans, knowing that
the Americans did not respect the Geneva Conventions; the 31 Afghans
were subsequently tortured, translator's note), there has again come
spotlight on Danish war participation. The myth about the “nice Danish
soldiers” is crackling as the huge propaganda lie it really is.

Five U.S. servicemen die in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Dec 12, 2006(Reuters) - Three U.S. airmen were killed in action
in western Iraq on Monday and two other soldiers died in separate
incidents, the military said on Tuesday.
The U.S. military in Baghdad said the three airmen were killed by enemy
action in Anbar province. One Marine died in "non-hostile action", the
ususal term for an accident, in the same area. A fifth serviceman died
of what the army described as apparent natural causes.

Ehud Olmert Concealing the Truth in a Show of Timidity
" We the Israelis Have Never Threaten Any Nation With Utter
Destruction" !
In an interview in Germain TV - the Israeli warlord, Ehud Olmert last
night attempted to warn of a nuclear threat imposed by Iran- then he
finally had to admitt that the Israelis has nuclear weapons them self.
"Israel is a democracy he claimed and he continued " Israel doesn't
threaten any country with anything, we never did. The most that we have
tried to get for ourselves is to try to live without terror" - said the
terrorist leader the chef-d'oeuvre him self - in absurdity concealing
the truth in a show of timidity - masking - with weakness the Israelis
destruction plans for other sovereign countries .

Nuclear hypocrisy at work in Israel
Three years after the invasion of Iraq, there are weapons of mass
destruction in the Middle East. But wait, where are the international
inspection teams, the UN resolutions, and list of sanctions? When it
concerns Israel, double standards are the norm. As far back as 1968, the
CIA realised that Israel had nuclear weapons. It was the great
unmentionable in Washington and not just because of embarrassment. The
US, by its own legislation, is forbidden from issuing economic
assistance to any country with a clandestine nuclear weapons programme.
But feigned ignorance is no longer an option.

OLMERT IN BIG TROUBLE FOR THE WRONG REASONS
Different factions of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) are issuing calls
for Olmert to quit his job after 'blowing the whistle' on the fact that
Israel has nuclear capabilities. Where were those calls when Olmert sent
in troops to Gaza... to Lebanon... to other parts of the Occupied
Territories? Where were those calls when Olmert continued the
construction of the wall of apartheid that is cutting off an entire
nation from the rest of society? Where were those calls when Olmert led
the campaign not to recognise the officially elected representatives of
the Palestinian people?
I assume all the above are not considered anti Semitic by the powers
that be so there was no need to call for his removal.
Olmert quitting is not the answer.... geting rid of the bombs is... not
just the ones in Israel.... ALL NUCLEAR WEAPONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD!
Let's start a process towards peace... not only in the Middle East, but
throughout the entire world...

Olmert's nuclear blunder leads to Gulf states' call for sanctions
The United States and the international community should impose
sanctions on Israel for its nuclear program, the chief of the
organization grouping Arab countries in the Persian Gulf told reporters
Tuesday.
And we need inspections. Under US law, Israel should not be getting any
US foreign aid while their nuclear program remains outside AIEA
inspection. Indeed the case can be made that all the US foreign aid
money Israel received since their first bombs were built was taken under
false pretenses and should be returned.

Toothless EU embarassed by Israeli nuclear admission (AFP)
EU presidency wants Olmert to explain nuclear comments
BERLIN, Dec 13 2006--The Finnish presidency of the European Union called
on Wednesday for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to explain his

Israel, Alone
Israel's long-standing policy of nuclear ambiguity came to an end the
other day when Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, in answer to a question
about his country's rumored WMD arsenal, replied,
Ha'aretz avers, "It is not clear whether this was a slip of the tongue
on the part of Olmert or an intended statement" - and his aides and
supporters are certainly scrambling to explain his comments away as a
linguistic mix-up. Yet, taken in context - not only the context of the
interview, but the context of Israel's present position - I would argue
the Israeli Prime Minister was sending a message not only to Iran, but
also to the U.S.

The Maps Tell The Story
Emotions hit another round of intensity with the uproar from the
recently published map of Palestine from the State Information Service.
The popular clamor asks, is this the ultimate goal of the PLO - remove
Israel from the map of the middle east altogether?
Few can offer even the faintest glimmer of the chances for a peaceful
resolution to the full scale warfare that has erupted in this ancient
land. But how many people know the history of the last fifty plus years
and the background that has brought the world to the brink of the
ultimate holocaust? Millions of words have been written about who is at
blame and the reasons for this eternal hatred. But a few pictures may
explain better than appeals to reason.

Support for Israel in Congress is Based on Fear
I can tell you from personal experience that the support Israel has in
the Congress is based completely on political fear -- fear of defeat by
anyone who does not do what Israel wants done. I can also tell you that
very few members of Congress -- at least when I served there -- have
any affection for Israel or for its Lobby. What they have is contempt,
but it is silenced by fear of being found out exactly how they feel.
I've heard too many cloakroom conversations in which members of the
Senate will voice their bitter feelings about how they're pushed around
by the Lobby to think otherwise. In private one hears the dislike of
Israel and the tactics of the Lobby, but not one of them is willing to
risk the Lobby's animosity by making their feelings public.
Thus, I see no desire on the part of Members of Congress to further any
U.S. imperial dreams by using Israel as their pit bull. The only
exceptions to that rule are the feelings of Jewish members, whom, I
believe, are sincere in their efforts to keep U.S. money flowing to
Israel. But that minority does not a U.S. imperial policy make.

Apartheid declared legal in Israel
During a cabinet meeting on the issue it was revealed that some 55,000
east Jerusalem Palestinians carrying blue (Israeli) identification cards
would remain outside the Israeli part of the security fence should
construction continue along the current route.
Outgoing High Court Judge Aharon Barak said in the ruling that, "The
rights of al-Ram's residents are not absolute; they can be obstructed if
there is justification for it. One must make a distinction between
harming 'protected residents' by constructing the fence in the West Bank
and harm done to Israelis (citizens or permanent residents) due to the
construction of the fence in the area and due to the construction of the
fence in Israel ."

Zionism: Pitting the West against Islam
The history of Israel has often been read as the saga of a people marked
for extinction, who emerged from Nazi death camps -- from Auschwitz,
Belzec and Treblinka -- to establish their own country in 1948.
Without taking away anything from the sufferings of European Jews, I
will insist that this way of thinking about Israel -- apart from its
mythologizing -- has merit only as a partisan narrative. It seeks to
insulate Israel against the charge of a devastating colonization by
falsifying history, by camouflaging the imperialist dynamics that
brought it into existence, and denying the perilous future with which it
now confronts the Jews, the West and the Islamic world.

Isn't Germany sick of the Holocaust?
The Germany of today is not the Germany of the middle of the last

feel guilty for something they had nothing to do with.
It is time to stop living in the past. We have problems TODAY for which
we are all responsible, because we are alive today and we can take
action today. I can do nothing about Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland
