Citizens For Legitimate Government 05 Dec 2008 http://www.legitgov.org/ Police: Mumbai gunman's mobile SIM card possibly from New Jersey 04 Dec 2008 The sole Mumbai gunman [Azam Amir Kasab] to be taken alive has said he was paid 150,000 Pakistani rupees – about £1,300 or $1,900 – for his part in the attacks that killed nearly 200 people, according to police. Police are also investigating a possible link to the United States – a mobile SIM card found with the terrorists which possibly came from New Jersey. Police interrogators have told The Times that they are poised to settle the matter of Kasab's background through the use of "narcoanalysis" – a controversial technique, banned in most democracies, where the subject is injected with a "truth serum". Deven Bharti, a deputy police commissioner in Mumbai and one of the interrogators, said that there was "no doubt" that Kasab will be subjected to "narcoanalysis". The drug – probably sodium pentothal – will be administered through a drip and will lull Kasab into a trance-like state. Mumbai attacks: Indian operative 'helped Pakistani militants' 05 Dec 2008 A Pakistani militant group used an Indian operative as far back as 2007 to scout targets for the elaborate plot against India's financial capital, authorities have said. The discovery is a blow to Indian officials who have blamed the deadly attacks entirely on Pakistani extremists. As investigators sought to unravel the attack on Mumbai, stepping up questioning of the lone captured gunman, airports across India were put on high alert amid fresh warnings that terrorists planned to hijack an aircraft. Mumbai: Was it Indeed an Islamic Terror Attack? Were Muslims even Involved? By Julaybib 05 Dec 2008 If the Mumbai terrorists' background was consistent with the single captured survivor, then the terrorist actions were not performed by Muslims, but by mercenaries, that is soldiers of fortune, hired criminals, paid to murder and terrorize, for non-religious reasons, and funded by unknown criminal gangs for purposes also unknown... This certainly suggests that the criminal gangs who hired the mercenary terrorists in Mumbai, were like their soldiers, motivated also by financial gain, as criminal gangs tend to be so engaged, and that the gangs themselves were hired by perhaps non-Pakistani actors, with ambitions for control of the government of Pakistan. Can the president order the indefinite military detention of people living in the United States? Justices Take Case on President's Power to Detain --Man arrested December 2001 in Peoria, Ill., has been held without charge in isolation for more than five years 06 Dec 2008 The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to decide the most fundamental question yet concerning executive power in the age of terror: Can the president order the indefinite military detention of people living in the United States? The case concerns Ali al-Marri, the only person on the American mainland being held as an enemy combatant, at the Navy brig in Charleston, S.C. Mr. Marri, a citizen of Qatar, was legally in the United States when he was arrested in December 2001 in Peoria, Ill., where he was living with his family and studying computer science at Bradley University. US justices to rule on terror suspect's detention 05 Dec 2008 The U.S. Supreme Court said on Friday that it would decide whether President [sic] George W. Bush can order the indefinite imprisonment in the United States of an al Qaeda [al-CIAduh] suspect without charging him. In the latest test of Bush's war-on-terrorism policies, the nation's highest court agreed to hear an appeal by a Qatari national, Ali al-Marri, the only foreign national currently being held in the United States as an "enemy combatant." Suit claims Halliburton, KBR sickened base 05 Dec 2008 A Georgia man has filed a lawsuit against contractor KBR and its former parent company, Halliburton, saying the companies exposed everyone at Joint Base Balad in Iraq to unsafe water, food and hazardous fumes from the burn pit there. Joshua Eller, who worked as a civilian computer-aided drafting technician with the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing, said military personnel, contractors and third-country nationals may have been sickened by contamination at the largest U.S. installation in Iraq, home to more than 30,000 service members, Defense Department civilians and contractors. KBR Sued for Giving Soldiers Ice with 'Traces of Body Fluids and Putrefied Remains' by ZP Heller 04 Dec 2008 As former KBR Water Purification Specialist Ben Carter described in this clip from Iraq for Sale and in his Congressional testimony, KBR failed to provide adequate water safety, resulting in toxic drinking and bathing water. This war profiteer also failed to manage a medical incinerator properly, instead disposing medical waste and human remains in an open air burn pit. Eller claims that at one point, he saw a wild dog running around the base with a human arm in its mouth that KBR had dumped into the pit. And the grizzly kicker, the suit accuses KBR of using mortuary trucks that "still had traces of body fluids and putrefied remains in them when they were loaded with ice" later served to U.S. troops. US preparing for troop buildup in Afghanistan 05 Dec 2008 The military is beginning a big building effort in Afghanistan to house the roughly 20,000 additional troops who are expected to begin pouring in early next year, a top military officer said Friday. Maj. Gen. Michael Tucker, deputy commander for operations for U.S. forces in Afghanistan, could not quantify the number of buildings or contractors mercenaries involved, but said the military has done several in-depth studies over the past month and a half to determine exactly how many buildings, helicopter pads, dining facilities,and even latrines will be needed. [Looks like KBR is about to get a big bl*w job from Barack. Well, thank *God* we voted for him to get us out of *Iraq.*] Pentagon plans troop surge in Afghanistan 05 Dec 2008 The Pentagon has begun a massive building operation to construct new barracks and facilities in Afghanistan for 20,000 extra US troops that will pour into the country early next year.
