t r u t h o u t | 04.20 Jason Leopold | The Bush Administration's Stunning Geneva Hypocrisy http://www.truthout.org/042009J Jason Leopold, Truthout: "Newly released US government documents, detailing how Bush administration officials punched legalistic holes in the Geneva Conventions' protections of war captives, stand in stark contrast to the outrage some of the same officials expressed in the first week of the Iraq war when Iraqi TV interviewed several captured American soldiers. 'If there is somebody captured,' President George W. Bush told reporters on March 23, 2003, 'I expect those people to be treated humanely. If not, the people who mistreat the prisoners will be treated as war criminals.'" Tons of Released Drugs Taint US Water http://www.truthout.org/042009K Jeff Donn, Martha Mendoza and Justin Pritchard, The Associated Press: "US manufacturers, including major drugmakers, have legally released at least 271 million pounds of pharmaceuticals into waterways that often provide drinking water - contamination the federal government has consistently overlooked, according to an Associated Press investigation. Hundreds of active pharmaceutical ingredients are used in a variety of manufacturing, including drugmaking: For example, lithium is used to make ceramics and treat bipolar disorder; nitroglycerin is a heart drug and also used in explosives; copper shows up in everything from pipes to contraceptives." more here: http://www.truthout.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ShadowGovernment" group.
