Afghanistan : Video of Captured US Occupation Force Soldier Video The U.S. soldier who went missing June 30 from his base in eastern Afghanistan and was later confirmed to have been captured, appeared on a video posted Saturday to a Web site by the Taliban. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23107.htm === Assassinations Anyone? CIA Claims of Cancelled Campaign are Hogwash By Eric Margolis The U.S. has been trying to kill al-Qaida personnel (real and imagined) since the Clinton administration. These efforts continue under President Barack Obama. Claims by Congress it was never informed are hogwash. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23103.htm === Killing "Everything That Moves" The Johnny Procedure By Uri Avnery This is the principle that guided the Israeli army in the Gaza War, and, as far as I know, this is a new doctrine: in order to avoid the loss of one single soldier of ours, it is permissible to kill 10, 100 and even 1000 enemy civilians. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23099.htm === We Have Given Our Blessing to Israel's Crimes By Sheila Samples There is no subject more restricted nor more controlled in the United States than a critical discussion of Israel. Balanced argument is ignored while each word is parsed -- and condemned. It's strange that we are free to rant and rave and point out the war crimes of our own administration -- of all other administrations throughout the world -- but not those of Israel. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23106.htm === In an Impotent World even the Bankrupt can Prevail By Paul Craig Roberts America and Israel's wars of aggression are preceded by years of propaganda and international meetings, so that by the time the attack comes it is an expected event, not a monstrous surprise attack with its connotation of naked aggression. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23101.htm === War Without Purpose By Chris Hedges No one seems to be able to articulate why we are in Afghanistan. Is it to hunt down bin Laden and al-Qaida? Is it to consolidate progress? Have we declared war on the Taliban? Are we building democracy? Are we fighting terrorists there so we do not have to fight them here? Are we "liberating" the women of Afghanistan? The absurdity of the questions, used as thought-terminating clichés, exposes the absurdity of the war. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23104.htm === Obama Administration's Statements Endanger Lives of Hondurans By Dan Beeton There has not been a single statement from the Obama administration since President Zelaya was overthrown on June 28, condemning the violations of human rights and civil liberties committed by the coup government. These violations include shootings and beatings; arrests, intimidation and deportation of journalists; and the closing of independent radio and TV stations. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23102.htm === Canadian Health Care A Reality Check on a Reality Check By Julie Mason In Senator McConnell's home state of Kentucky, one out of three people under age 65 do not have any health insurance. They don't have to worry about wait times for hip or knee replacement or cancer surgery -- they can't get care. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23105.htm more here: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ShadowGovernment" group.
