Who is Really Behind all the Terror Attacks around the world?
A recent survey by University of Maryland's prestigious Program on
International Public Attitudes, shows that only 46 percent of Americans
think that "bombing and other attacks intentionally aimed at civilians" are
"never justified," while 24 percent believe these attacks are "often or
sometimes justified." Contrast those numbers with 2006 polling results
from the world's most-populous Muslim countries Indonesia, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, and Nigeria. Terror Free Tomorrow, the organization I lead,
found that 74 percent of respondents in Indonesia agreed that terrorist
attacks are "never justified"; in Pakistan, that figure was 86 percent; in
Bangladesh, 81 percent. Reported (here )
Nearly all Muslims including children know that majority of the acts of
terror, especially 9/11, East Africa, London, Madrid, Bali, Bombay and
Jakarta are not the work of Muslims and could not be the work of Muslims
because besides not having a culture of terrorism, they just simply could
not pull off such feats of technological and logistical sophistication.

Who Do You Think We (US) Are?
IN Alan J. Pakulas 1974 film The Parallax View, the nefarious Parallax
Corporation uses a questionnaire to recruit potential assassins. Sociopaths
and psychopaths are weeded in with a battery of questions that expose their
psychological strengths and weaknesses, secrets and predilections. At the
opposite end of the moral spectrum, and with utterly benign intent, the
General Social Survey has been performing a similar exploration of the
American psyche for 34 years.

Why won't the U.S. admit Maher Arar's innocence?
It may be fear of precedent. Tales of other suspects seized and sent abroad
to face torture are beginning to come to light in Europe. This week, those
stories helped bring down the Italian government. And as Doug Saunders
reports, this could be just the beginning.

Will America Face the Truth About 9/11?
The order states that when hijackings occur the militarys operational
commanders at the pentagon and at the North American Aerospace Command
(NORAD) must contact the secretary of defense for approval and further
instruction. At that time, of course, this was Donald Rumsfeld. Was the new
order, therefore, evidence of a policy change made for the purpose of
engineering a stand-down on 9/11?

War Crime : America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq
"The invasion of Iraq in 2003 was not an isolated episode. It was the
culmination of a 110-year period during which Americans overthrew fourteen
governments that displeased them for various ideological, political, and
economic reasons."

"Just Following Orders" is No Excuse If Bush is a War Criminal, Then What
About the Troops
In addition to holding George Bush and U.S. Congress accountable for the
illegal occupation of Iraq, American troops must also be prepared to accept
responsibility, because we're all presumed to know the law. If we accept
that fundamental legal presumption, then those of us who claim that the war
is illegal must also acknowledge that the troops are unexcused aiders and
abettors.

War Criminal : Raping Women is Rewarded.... Only in Iraq
I was at the dentists when I heard the news.
- Did you know? They raped a woman and she came on Tv.
- What!!!??? Who? Another Abeer?
- This time its Iraqi force!
- !!!!!!!!!
I saw the news on Tv and beside the shock and utter disbelief and despite
the controversy that this story will make and the lies that will be said to
cover up what ever might expose anything about our life in Iraq under the
new democracy and freedom, I have to show my full respect to this woman,
Sabrine Al-Janabi, who risked her life to expose some of what is happening
under the blanket.
Another shock came when I heard that Al-Maliki ordered to reward the
animals who were involved.
What happened will be a great encouragement for those animals who have a
license to get into our houses and have the authority to open our closets
and touch our belongings. They know that not only they would get away with
raping women but they would get rewarded for it.

AP says Americans underestimate Iraqi death toll and then proves it
The Johns Hopkins study is not an "unofficial estimate"; it's a
scientifically-determined number based on a careful study published in one
of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world!!! And its result
is not "tens of thousands" higher than 9,890, it is hundreds of thousands
higher (at least 550,000 by now, and most likely closer to 750,000 -
three-quarters of a million Iraqis, and by the way, that estimate does not
include "foreign fighters," since it was a survey of Iraqi households
only). How preposterous is it to stick to an estimate of 54,000 for the
entire war, a period which obviously includes the bloody first few weeks of
the invasion, not to mention such "highlights" as the leveling of Fallujah,
while accepting a U.N. report of 34,000 deaths for just one year of that war?

WAR CRIMINAL : THE SMELL OF A COOKOUT ON A WARM SUMMER DAY
Many people have seen the barbaric photos of the "Highway of Death" in
Kuwait after the U.S. bombed a miles-long convoy of thousands of vehicles
attempting to leave Kuwait and return to Iraq. Shortly before, the U.S.
administration said it would not attack retreating Iraqi soldiers, but it
reneged on its promise and killed thousands of retreating Iraqi soldiers as
well as civilians of many nationalities.
A cease-fire agreement was reached a few days later. Everybody thought the
killing spree was over.
But, the killing of defenseless soldiers and civilians did not end with the
cease-fire. On the morning of March 2 (two days after the cease-fire was
announced), a convoy of Iraqi vehicles was reported moving through the
demarcation point of allied operations on Highway 8 about 50 kilometers
west of Basra.

27 July 1880. A date Mr Blair should look up
Hands up any soldiers who know that another of Britain's great military
defeats took place in the very sands in which your colleagues are now
fighting the Taliban. Yes, the Battle of Maiwand - on 27 July, 1880 -
destroyed an entire British brigade, overrun by thousands of armed Afghan
tribesmen, some of whom the official enquiry into the disaster would later
describe as "Talibs". The Brits had been trying to secure Helmand province.
Sound familiar?

LIVE FROM PALESTINE~~ LITERALLY SCARING CHILDREN TO DEATH
Apparently the Israeli Forces work with the assumption that Palestinian
children have no feelings or emotions. For years the Palestinians have been
dehumanised in their minds, therefore it makes perfect sense to them that
they are void of human feelings.

UN REPORT LIKENS ISRAEL TO APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA, BUT CANADIAN PAPERS
CENSORED OR SUPPRESSED STORY
Several national Arab and Muslim organizations today condemned major
Canadian newspapers for ignoring or sidelining coverage of an independent
UN-commissioned report that links Israel's 40-year occupation of the
Palestinian territories to apartheid South Africa.
http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net
By contrast, Britain's The Independent covered the story fully in
yesterday's edition, featuring it on the front page and providing a link to

Israel raids Nablus, imposes curfew, takes over radio and tv, shoots randomly
The article does not say what TV news reported, that the 80 or so jeeps
followed a bunch of bulldozers.... THAT means, the Israelis are about to
destroy some Palestinian houses.
SOME networks showed footage of Israelis shooting through small round holes
in the rear windows of their jeeps, the windows not being clear glass,
they could not possibly have seen whom they were shooting at. Out in the
streets were only teenagers throwing stones, and that from a safe
distance, which certainly could do harm to the armored jeeps the Israelis
were driving, all safety glass windows shut tight.

Criticizing Israel is not an act of bigotry
A grassroots revolt is underway in Jewish communities throughout the world,
a revolt that has panicked the elite organizations that have long
functioned as official mouthpieces for the community. The latest sign of
this panic is
the recent publication by the American Jewish Committee of an essay by
Alvin H. Rosenfeld, entitled Progressive Jewish Thought and the New
Anti-Semitism, which accuses progressive Jews of abetting a resurgent wave
of anti-Semitism by publicly criticizing Israel.

Israelis Dressed as Arabs Nab Top Terrorist
"Border policemen dressed as Palestinian Arabs infiltrated a Jenin refugee
camp Thursday morning and arrested Khaled el-Haj, a senior Hamas commander

operation, military sources said," the Jerusalem Post reports.

The Redirection
In the past year, the Saudis, the Israelis, and the Bush Administration
have developed a series of informal understandings about their new
strategic direction. At least four main elements were involved, the U.S.
government consultant told me. First, Israel would be assured that its
security was paramount and that Washington and Saudi Arabia and other Sunni
states shared its concern about Iran.

CIA recruited Japanese war criminals
TOKYO - Col. Masanobu Tsuji was a fanatical Japanese militarist and brutal
warrior, hunted after World War II for massacres of Chinese civilians and
complicity in the Bataan Death March. And then he became a U.S. spy. Newly
declassified CIA records, released by the U.S. National Archives and
examined by The Associated Press, document more fully than ever how Tsuji
and other suspected Japanese war criminals were recruited by U.S.
intelligence in the early days of the Cold War. The documents also show how
ineffective the effort was, in the CIA's view.

9/11: The Conspiracy Files, The BBC Joins the Ranks of the Untrustworthy
United States Media
More than five years after the disaster of September 11, 2001, Englands
BBC stepped into the ring of media outlets airing programs about the
tragedy that is now referred to as "9/11" on February 18, 2007. The
program, entitled "9/11: The Conspiracy Files," took the time to interview
some well-known Americans on both sides of the 9/11 argument. The hour-long
program looked as if it might reveal something worthwhile, for about nine
minutes. Guests like the outspoken Alex Jones, 911 Scholars for Truth
Co-Founder Dr. Jim Fetzer, and Loose Change producer Dylan Avery actually
got to make several excellent points before the real conspiracy was revealed.

Questions Your Pastor Will Hate
I remember asking why the Bible, a book which had to know better since it
was written by God himself, said Joshua raised his hands and the "sun
stopped for the space of about a day," when clearly it would be the earth
that stopped rotating? I asked him how oceans would not slop out of their
basins in such a scenario and drown the whole world? I asked him if humans
would not be cast into space by such a sudden stop of the entire planet? I
even asked if this really happened, why did no one else on the whole planet
notice it, or write about it? I got that dumb look again.

US funds terror groups to sow chaos in Iran
02/25/07 "Sunday Telegraph" -- -- America is secretly funding militant
ethnic separatist groups in Iran in an attempt to pile pressure on the
Islamic regime to give up its nuclear programme.
In a move that reflects Washington's growing concern with the failure of
diplomatic initiatives, CIA officials are understood to be helping
opposition militias among the numerous ethnic minority groups clustered in
Iran's border regions.
