9/11 : Global Action against Guantanamo
With Yesterday US Court decision of no jurisdiction to hear cases
involving the remaining 435 prisoners challenging their detention at the
US military base in Cuba.
Amnesty International declared today 16 December as a global campaign
against Guantanamo.
Guantánamo detainees must be released immediately unless they are to be
charged and given a fair trial.
The funny thing is: It is the US is same country who condemning others
for lack of human rights, as new statement put it:
How can the US condemn torture in Argentina, political murders in Russia
and censorship in North Korea when it promotes "kangaroo courts" at
Guantanamo Bay?

9/11 : Guantanamo Detainees To Be Held Even Without Evidence
WASHINGTON - The hard core of detainees held at America's Guantanamo Bay
detention camp will be held indefinitely even if there is insufficient
evidence to bring them to trial, a senior Bush administration official
said.
Of the 435 detainees being held at Guantanamo, only 10 have so far been
charged with terrorism-related offenses. A further 14 detainees - the
so-called high value detainees such as the alleged mastermind of the
September 11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - are also expected to face
trial now that the U.S. Congress has passed the Military Commission Act,
which will finally enable America to commence trials of Guantanamo
detainees next year.

Iraq : 'We're Going to Win'
Now Bush is ready to gamble his presidency on a last-ditch effort to
defeat the Sunni insurgency and establish a sustainable democracy in
Iraq. He is prepared to defy the weary wisdom of Washington that it's
too late, that the war in Iraq is lost, and that Bush's lone option is
to retreat from Iraq as gracefully and with as little loss of face as
possible. Bush only needed what his press secretary, Tony Snow, called a
"plan for winning." Now he has one.
Let us remember a few facts that Bush is ignoring :
1. There were no WMDs in Iraq.
2. The American people know this.
3. Both Bush and Blair KNEW there were no WMDs in Iraq before the
invasion even started.
4. The American people know this, too.
5. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11.
6. Iraq was not aiding Al Qaeda.
7. The American people know all this as well.

Iraq War : They saw the uniforms and knew to run
Iraqis at a Baghdad market had expected this day, when gunmen swept in,
opened fire and took people away.
"They're here! They're here!"
The panicked cry rose from the crowd of shoppers and businessmen,
sending them into a stampede past storefronts and shocked onlookers.
Men, women and children fell over handcarts and folding chairs, knocking
one another down, hiding behind buildings and seeking shelter in shops.
None knew who "they" were: uniformed men firing weapons in the air and
herding people into trucks, just a few hundred yards from the edge of
the U.S.-guarded Green Zone.
But most had suspected such a day might come to the Sinak market of
downtown Baghdad. All knew to run at first sight of the uniformed gunmen
who have become signature elements of the all-too-common mass
kidnappings in the Iraqi capital.

insurgency in the volatile province west of Baghdad.

Shot in the Head for Throwing Stones : Twilight Zone / Death sentence
What is now going through the mind of the soldier who fired a loaded
weapon at a boy on the Sunday before last - and killed him? What was he
thinking when he aimed at the boy's head? Is he still thinking about his
victim? Why does live ammunition have to be used against children, even
if they are throwing stones at a armored vehicles? Don't the soldiers
have other means of punishment? And what about the security cabinet's
decision to promote calm in the West Bank, too?

AXIS OF EVIL WELCOMES CALL FOR NEW PALESTINIAN ELECTIONS
Bush and Blair have both done such a marvelous job of running their own
countries, they are now advising the Palestinians how to run theirs as
well. If they hadn't meddled from the day Hamas was elected and hadn't
sabotauged every efffort of theirs to try to form a government and rule
there most likely wouldn't be the strife we see today.
What on earth makes them think that the Palestinians will change their
votes this time? What on earth makes Abu Mazan think the same? All three
might be in for a big surprise and all three might just find themselves
on the job market very soon along with their buddy Olmert.
The political situation in the Occupied Territories is a mess at the
moment, an early election just might be what is needed to get rid of the
rivalries involved and see what happens if Hamas gets a total majority
in the election... that is the outcome I predict. Following is a Reuters
report about the situation....
