can’t stay for long in Afghanistan: Hekmatyar
Denouncing the United States as “the mother of problems”, Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar, a former prime minister of Afghanistan, who is currently
leading his group of Mujahideen against the US and NATO and Afghan
forces, has said the US does not have the capacity to stay for long in
Afghanistan. He also predicts America will pull out at the same
time as it withdraws from Iraq. Afghanistan’s turmoil would not end
until US forces left the region, he said. “As long as America remains
in Afghanistan and in the region, war and problems will continue,” he
said in a copy of a videotape obtained by news agencies on Thursday.
“I can say with full assurance and confidence that America does not
have the ability to stay for a long period in Afghanistan...,” he
said. Hekmatyar said America's allies had sent troops to Afghanistan
and Iraq out of fear of Washington. But he said a rift was emerging
among them over whether they should stay on there. “My analysis is
that America (will) pull out from Iraq and Afghanistan simultaneously
and the withdrawal perhaps will happen this year,” he declared.
Hekmatyar advised US and Nato troops to pull out.

Half of Palestinians can’t buy food: UN Nearly half of Palestinians are unable, or risk being unable, to access minimum food supplies, warned the first UN report of its kind since the West slapped an embargo on the Hamas-led government in Palestine. “Almost half of the population remains food insecure or is at risk of becoming food insecure,” said the first joint World Food Programme and Food and Agriculture Organisation report on the Palestinians since 2003. The WFP defines “food insecurity” as the ability of a household to produce or access the minimum food needed for a healthy and active life.

"Another U.S. Military Assault on Media"
U.S. soldiers raided and ransacked the
offices of the Iraq Syndicate of Journalists (ISJ) in central Baghdad
Tuesday this week. Ten armed guards were arrested, and 10 computers
and 15 small electricity generators kept for donation to families of
killed journalists were seized.
This is not the first time U.S. troops have attacked the media in
Iraq, but this time the raid was against the very symbol of it. Many
Iraqis believe the U.S. soldiers did all they could to deliver the
message of their leadership to Iraqi journalists to keep their mouth
shut about anything going wrong with the U.S.-led occupation.

In Bosnian a 16th century Banja Luka mosque to be rebuilt after Christian terrorists Serb forces flattened in 1993 war Bosnian Serb authorities announced plans Friday to rebuild a 16th century Banja Luka mosque six years after the last attempt resulted in anti-Muslim riots. "It's in the interests of the (Bosnian Serb) government and Islamic community to have this object rebuilt as soon as possible so that we can apply to have it put on UNESCO's list," said Bosnian Serb Prime Minister Milorad Dodik. During Bosnia's war in 1993, Serb forces flattened the Ferhadija mosque, which had been on a UNESCO heritage list. Islamic leader Mustafa Ceric said its reconstruction in the administrative centre of Serb-run entity of Republika Srpska would help reconciliation between the country's ethnic communities. "I hope that this is the beginning of our cooperation that will end up in inter-religious, inter-ethnic and inter-cultural cooperation, trust and tolerance," Ceric told journalists after meeting with Dodik. Reconstruction work on the Ferhadija mosque, which is scheduled to start within months, is being financed by the Bosnian Serb government with 340,000 euros (450,000 dollars). The Islamic community's efforts to lay a cornerstone to rebuild the mosque in May 2001 sparked anti-Muslim riots that left one person dead and some 30 injured.

Phoenix Insurgent: Prisons offer free transfers to lock-down
paradises out of state
A new study predicts
what I think we all knew: the US prison population is heading for more
records in the future. In an age where the US consistently ranks down
at the bottom of almost every positive social indicator, it's good to
know we're still number one at something.
The study, reported in USA Today "[t]he number of inmates in U.S.
prisons likely will rise nearly 13% during the next five years,
costing states up to $27.5 billion in new operating and construction
expenses[.]" The increase in population will be equivalent to the
entire federal prison population already incarcerated. It projects a
national prison population (excluding jails, which hold more than a
million more) of over 1.7 million by 2011.
Aside from pointing out that the growth rate of female inmates will
outpace their male counterparts, the study had this to say as well:
•By 2011, Florida's prison system is expected to become the third
state system to surpass 100,000 inmates, joining California and Texas.
California's projected inmate population for 2011 is 188,772; Texas'
is 166,327.
•In Louisiana, which has the nation's highest rate of incarceration
with 835 prisoners per 100,000 residents, the incarceration rate is
projected to reach 859 by 2011.
•Nearly two-thirds of the more than 600,000 people admitted to prison
each year have failed to satisfy terms of probation or parole.
Cover Up: It's Easy to be Innocent When You Control the Evidence
The ex Supreme Court
Justice John Major's appointed by Harper to conduct a public hearing
into the Air India F.U. has discovered that like the Arar Inquiry the
State has marshalled all their forces in a united front called
National Security. The RCMP, CSIS, Foreign Affairs, the whole crew of
bunglers has blacked out what could be incriminating evidence,
refusing the Justice to even preview it in private. And what could
their reason be?
Whither Globalization? Even after more than half century of freedom in India the gulf between rich and poor is ever widening and with all the glitter of globalization hunger, starvation and suicide deaths are increasing amidst agricultural surplus, and sometimes fifty million tones of grain in go downs rots but cannot be sold at subsidized prices for fear of pushing the market prices down. That is the harsh economic reality!
British officials fear US will attack Iran: report Senior British government officials fear that US President George W. Bush will attack Iran before his final term in office ends in a little less than two years time, The Times reported in an early edition of its Friday newspaper. They fear that Bush will seek to “settle the Iranian question through military means,” the daily reported, quoting unidentified senior British government sources. “He (Bush) will not want to leave it unresolved for his successor,” one of the sources told The Times.
BBC reports on US military plans to strike Iran A BBC report on Monday made clear that the Pentagon has completed contingency planning for extensive air strikes on Iran that go “beyond nuclear sites and include most of the country’s military infrastructure”. The article continued: “It is understood that any such attack—if ordered—would target Iranian air bases, naval bases, missile facilities and command-and-control centres.”
The Bush administration insists it is pursuing diplomatic means to force Iran to shut down its enrichment facilities. But as the BBC explained: “Diplomatic sources have told the BBC that as a fallback plan, senior officials at Central Command in Florida have already selected their target sets inside Iran. That list includes Iran’s uranium enrichment plant at Natanz. Facilities at Isfahan, Arak and Bushehr are also on the target list.”
Ahmadinejad vows to defend nuclear program President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed on Friday that Iran would defend its nuclear programme to the bitter end. "The Iranian people is vigilant and will defend all its rights to the end," the president said in a speech reported by the local news agency. "The great Iranian people is resisting the oppressors and will not concede one iota," he said. "If we take a step back, they'll come rushing forwards, but if we stand firm, it is they who will be forced to retreat."
Italian Women Lead Grassroots Campaign Against US Military Base The women singing and chanting at the head of the massive march on February 17 in the picturesque Italian town of Vicenza have been fighting to stop a U.S. military base from being built in their community. Cinzia Bottene, a housewife who has become the public face of the movement, was ecstatic with the turnout for the march, estimated by the police at 80,000 and by the organizers at 200,000. “We’ve never had anything like this before in the history of Vicenza. There were more people marching with us than the total population. The government, both nationally and locally, will no longer be able to ignore us.”
IAEA
sign Safeguards Agreement on CHASHMA-2
Pakistan and
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have signed Safeguards
Agreement on CHASHMA-2 nuclear power plant. The Safeguards Agreement
was signed by Ambassador Shahbaz on behalf of the Government of
Pakistan and Dr Mohamed ElBaradei, Director General IAEA in Vienna,
says a Foreign Office press release issued here Friday. In November
last year, the IAEA Board of Governors had unanimously approved the
Safeguards Agreement between Pakistan and IAEA in respect ofCHASHMA-2
nuclear power plant. Pakistan's two research reactors (PARR-I and
PARR2) and two nuclear power plants (KANUPP and CHASHMA-1) are already
under IAEA safeguards. CHASNUPP-2 is part of Pakistan's 'Energy
Security Plan', that envisages an increase in nuclear power generation
from the current 425 MWe to 8800 MWe by the year 2030 to meet its
growing energy demands.
Pakistan Test Fires Long-Range Ballistic Missile Pakistan test-fired a nuclear-capable, surface-to-surface ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 km on Friday. A military official said: The test of the Hatf VI (Shaheen II) missile was successful", adding, "It can carry all types of warheads including nuclear." The Hatf VI is a two-stage solid fuel missile which can carry nuclear and conventional warheads with high accuracy. An advanced version has a potential range of 2,500 km.
Pakistan likely to
get Iranian gas till 2010 Pakistan and India have
agreed to complete necessary documentation to meet target of
finalizing an agreement on Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) Gas Pipeline
Project by June this year. "We have agreed to complete documentation
and we will be able to sign the final document by June, 2007,"
Secretary Petroleum Ahmed Waqar told a press conference at the end of
two-day 4th bilateral meeting of Pakistan-India Joint Working Group on
IPI Gas Pipeline Project here. India's Secretary Petroleum and Natural
Gas, M.S. Srinivasan and General Manager Gas Marketing and Sales,
National Iranian Gas Export Company (NIGEC), Fattah Bayatani were also
present.
Ahmed Waqar said," We are committed to this project in our national
interest and for our growing energy needs." He said the government is
also looking at other options including the import of Liquified
Natural Gas (LNG). Ahmed Waqar believed that Pakistan would acquire
gas supply from Iran between 2010 to 2011 under the IPI project. The
Indian Secretary Petroleum and Natural Gas also expressed commitment
of his government to the project, saying "we need energy." Responding
to a question, Ahmed Waqar said the estimated cost of the project is
around $ 7 billion. About route of the pipeline he said, "We are still
in process to determine the route." Regarding certification of gas
reserves in Iran, he said the Iranian side has given technical
assurance about availability of gas for more than 40 years."
America's Secret Objectives in Setting up Missile Defense Bases in Eastern Europe President George W. Bush's National Security Advisor, Stephen Hadley, has said the purpose of the US anti-ballistic missile defense system being set up in the Czech Republic and Poland is to guard Europe against what he called threats by Iranian and North Korean ballistic missiles. Russia, as well as some of United States' European allies are strongly opposed to America's anti-ballistic missile defense system being installed in the Czech republic and Poland. A Russian general recently warned that Poland and the Czech Republic risk being targeted by Russia if they host US missile defense bases.
Britain in talks with US on hosting 'son of Star Wars' Britain is in talks with the United States about whether a controversial “son of Star Wars” missile defence system could be based on British soil, Downing Street said Friday.

Test blast in Nevada desert that recalled image of mushroom cloud scrapped by Pentagon Facing stiff opposition from two Western U.S. states, the Pentagon scrapped plans for a 700-ton non-nuclear test blast that would have produced the first mushroom cloud of dust over the Nevada desert in decades. The Defence Department said Thursday it would find other ways to test the United States' ability to penetrate underground bunkers that produce and store weapons of mass destruction. The cloud may have reached an altitude of 10,000 feet over the site about 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas, an eerie echo of long-ago open-air nuclear testing.
Japan, Russia to Sign Nuclear
Deal The Japanese government and its major electric
power companies have entered the final stage of negotiations with
Russia for consigning the enrichment of uranium for fuel in nuclear
power plants. Citing sources close to the deal, the Yomiuri Shimbun
said: The Japanese and Russian governments intend to reach a basic
agreement at a summit level meeting by summer, and will also negotiate
the signing of a bilateral nonproliferation accord to prevent nuclear
material from getting into third parties' hands, which is essential to
consigning the works. Japan has been cautious about its own enrichment
of uranium, which can be used to make nuclear weapons. It also abides
by three mononuclear principles, not possessing, producing or
introducing any nuclear weapons. Therefore, the enrichment of uranium
has only been undertaken in a few cases inside Japan. Japan is the
third-largest producer of nuclear energy in the world, behind the
United States and France.
North Korea Charges United States with Hostility, Lies Pyongyang said in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon circulated on Thursday evening that an external audit of U.N. funds in North Korea is a hostile maneuver by the United States. North Korean U.N. Ambassador Pak Gil Yon also charged the United States with having "dirty" political motives and fabricating lies by suggesting Pyongyang might have misused funds from the U.N. Development Program for the development of nuclear weapons. Pak said in the letter, which was also sent to the 15 U.N. Security Council members: "The allegations of the United States are sheer fiction aimed at politicizing international aid to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea." Pak said: "We cannot doubt that the motive and purpose of the audit are strictly in line with the hostile maneuvers of the United States against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea."
U.S. Admits Intelligence Failure on N. Korea The United States acknowledges gaps in its knowledge about the covert uranium enrichment program it has long accused Pyongyang of pursuing. Incoming reports said: Chief U.S. negotiator Chris Hill said such a program, which could produce fuel for nuclear weapons, would require "a lot more equipment than we know that they have actually purchased" as well as "some considerable production techniques that we're not sure whether they have mastered." A former U.S. official said the data gaps cited by Hill have existed since 2002 when the Bush administration first disclosed the enrichment program but this may be the first time they have been publicly acknowledged. Under the February 13 nuclear agreement, North Korea agreed to disable its main plutonium-producing nuclear complex in return for 50,000 tons of heavy fuel oil.
US Democrats
Move to Limit Bush's Authority
Four years ago, Congress passed legislation authorizing US George W.
President Bush to go to war in Iraq. Now Senate Democrats want to take
it back. Key lawmakers, backed by party leaders, are drafting
legislation that would effectively revoke the broad authority granted
to the president in the days Saddam was in power, and leave U.S.
troops with a limited mission as they prepare to withdraw. Officials
said Thursday the precise wording of the measure remains unsettled.
One version would restrict American troops in Iraq to training Iraqi
army and police forces, maintaining Iraq's territorial integrity and
otherwise proceeding with the withdrawal of combat forces. Republicans
recently thwarted two Democratic attempts to pass a non-binding
measure through the Senate that was critical of Bush's decision to
deploy an additional 21,500 combat troops. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
has said she expects the next challenge to Bush's war policies to come
in the form of legislation requiring the Pentagon to adhere to strict
training and readiness standards in the case of troops ticketed for
the war zone.
Chavez
Warns about US' Sabotage Plan
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned
Thursday that the American government frustrated by failed
assassination plots against him, was now planning to sabotage
Venezuela's economy. Chavez, speaking on his newly scheduled
prime-time TV talk show, predicted that "one of the fiercest battle
fronts" was coming ahead as Washington readied to destroy Venezuela
economically. He continued: "We've neutralized various attempts, and I
have faith we will continue neutralizing them. But they won't rest."
Chavez said that recent urgings by American President George W. Bush
for his country to reduce its oil dependency on unfriendly nations,
including Venezuela, meant that Venezuela was already on the drawing
table and Washington was laying its plans.

DNA test proves killing youth in fake encounters by worshippers of idols Indian army terrorists soldiers In a significant development today, the forensic tests of the samples of the dead body of a Kashmiri youth has finally proved continuous killing of Kashmiri youth in fake encounters by Indian troops. The DNA test carried out by the forensic lab at Chandigarh of a Kashmiri youth, Abdul Rehman Paddar, have shown positive results matching with the samples taken from his relatives. The results have clearly shown that he was killed in a fake encounter by the members of Special Operations Group in Waskora village of Ganderbal on December 9, last year after describing him as a foreign militant. DNA samples were taken from the five exhumed bodies, last month and the tests of remaining four are underway. The dead bodies were exhumed after forceful protests in various parts of occupied Kashmir. A study conducted by the KMS, thousands of Kashmiris have been martyred by Indian troops in custody and fake encounters out of a total of 91, 583 killed during the last eighteen years. These killings have been carried out under various operations like, Operation Tiger, Operation Eagle and Operation Shiva. Source Kashmir Media Service

Rights
groups denounce Canada's transfer of Afghan captives
Two human rights
groups protested Wednesday the transfer of Afghan prisoners captured
by Canadian troops to local authorities, saying they could be
tortured. Amnesty International Canada and the British Columbia Civil
Liberties Association (BCCLA) said in a statement they asked Canada's
federal court to review the practice. They claim a prisoner transfer
agreement between Ottawa and Afghanistan's government signed in
December 2005 does not provide "adequate safeguards to ensure that
detainees will not be tortured by Afghan forces." Further, they say
Canadian officials cannot monitor detainees after they have been
transferred and suggest "there are strong grounds to believe that
Afghan forces are torturing detainees." "The rule of law in
Afghanistan is absent and with the transfer of prisoners to Afghan
authorities, the Canadian Forces become complicit in a process that
can lead to torture," said Shirley Heafey of the BCCLA. Afghanistan's
National Security Directorate and National Police have both accepted
detainees transferred by Canadian forces, Amnesty International noted.
The two rights groups also lamented the Canadian military's refusal to
allow detainees access to legal counsel, saying this contravenes
Canada's constitution.
Russia's Jewish leader calls for end to Soviet-era trade limitation The chief rabbi of Russia's Jewish communities, Berl Lazar, Wednesday called for abolishing the 1974 Jackson-Vanik amendment, a key Cold War law limiting bilateral trade with the United States. Keeping the amendment, which initially intended to pressure Soviet authorities over Jewish emigration restrictions," is an obvious anachronism in these days when Jews enjoy true rights equality," Lazar said as quoted by a Russian news agency. Cancellation of the amendment would be a crucial step for Moscow as it tries to finalise bilateral deals with a number of countries, including the United States, to enter the World Trade Organisation (WTO). WTO rules prevent members from imposing restrictions on other members of the sort Jackson-Vanik dictates. Russia has long sought cancellation of the legislation, which Congress introduced in response to Soviet restrictions on the emigration of Jews in the the 1970s.
Italian President Scrambles for New Government after PM Prodi Quits
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano
embarked on frenzied negotiations for a new government Thursday after
the sudden resignation of Prime Minister Romano Prodi. Prodi resigned
Wednesday after his centre-left coalition lost a Senate vote on
foreign policy, including Italy's military deployment in Afghanistan,
forcing the president to scramble to save the situation in a drama
reminiscent of Italian politics of the 1980s and 1990s, when
governments sometimes changed every few weeks. Prodi's administration
had been forced onto the defensive over the deployment of 2,000 troops
in an international force in Afghanistan and the enlargement of a US
military base in northern Italy. While both policies are most opposed
by far-left parties within the ruling coalition, it was the
conservative opposition, which led calls for Prodi to go. Right wing
senators shouted "resign! resign!" after the result of the vote in the
Senate was announced.
British Withdrawal a Blow for Bush Britain's troop withdrawal plan has given Bush's political foes a way to criticize the administration's new policy in Iraq. U.S. Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid bluntly said Britain had "acknowledged a reality" that Bush "still stubbornly refuses to accept" as he sends thousands more American occupation soldiers into Iraq. Reid said in a statement: "There can be no purely military solution in Iraq." Nancy Pelosi, Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives, asked "why are thousands of additional American troops being sent to Iraq at the same time that British troops are planning to leave?" Veteran Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy branded the British announcement a "stunning rejection" of Bush's approach.
Global Warming: It’s All About Energy
But global warming is not an
"environmental" problem in the same sense as these others – it is an
energy problem, first and foremost. Almost 90% of the world’s energy
is supplied through the combustion of fossil fuels, and every time we
burn these fuels to make energy we release carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere; carbon dioxide, in turn, is the principal component of the
"greenhouse gases" (GHGs) that are responsible for warming the planet.
Energy use and climate change are two sides of the same coin.
Consider the situation in the United States. According to the
Department of Energy (DoE), carbon dioxide emissions constitute 84% of
this nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. Of all U.S. carbon dioxide
emissions, most – 98% – are emitted as a result of the combustion of
fossil fuels, which currently provide approximately 86% of America’s
total energy supply. This means that energy use and carbon dioxide
emissions are highly correlated: the more energy we consume, the more
CO2 we release into the atmosphere, and the more we contribute to the
buildup of GHGs.
Bridging The Black-Immigrant Divide In addition to tapping false and insulting stereotypes, that narrative just doesn’t ring true for black folks, who’ve historically worked assembly lines, picked vegetables, washed dishes, cleaned homes and cared for other people’s children. The old conversation also ignores the often invisible but still important role of modern racial bias and ethnic hierarchy in our economy. According to the unspoken rules at many establishments across the country, immigrants can work as busboys but not as waiters, and blacks can work as porters, but not as doormen. And even among immigrants, people of color and whites often enjoy different economic opportunities. More fundamentally, the old conversation obscures the question of what our workforce would look like if all of these jobs offered living wages and decent benefits, or how our economy would look if not only jobs, but opportunities for job training, apprenticeships, childcare and education for the new economy were equally available to all communities.

Bin Laden Expert Steps Forward Michael Scheuer is the senior intelligence analyst who created and advised a secret CIA unit for tracking and eliminating bin Laden since 1996.
"In 1993 Osama bin Laden began speaking in detail to Muslim and Western journalists about his beliefs, goals, and intentions, and began publishing commentaries on these matters in the media.... While bin Laden's words have not been a torrent, they are plentiful, carefully chosen, plainly spoken, and precise. He has set out the Muslim world's problems as he sees them; determined that they are caused by the United States; explained why they must be remedied; and outlined how he will try to do so. Seldom in America's history has an enemy laid out so clearly the basis for the war he is waging against it."
"The Afghan jihad confronted the theoreticians of democratic Islam with a hard reality. The Red Army was not defeated by a democratic revolution, but by an Islamist revolution grounded, guided, and steeled by God's words as found in the Koran and explained by the Prophet. Driven by their faith, the Mujahideen [sic] uses bullets, not votes, to win one for Allah, and by so doing revalidated jihad as Islam's normative response to attack."
It's always been hard for me to understand how we say people who supports Osama Bin Laden or someone else like him – who are willing to give their lives to destroy the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia – how we can describe those people as people who hated freedom. It seems to me that their definition of freedom might be different than ours, but to oppose a dictatorship, one must want freedom in some kind of way.
"I don't consider Osama Bin Laden to be a terrorist. I consider him to be a resistance fighter"
Is there anything about bin Laden that Americans don't know, but should? "Yeah, I think there is. I think our leaders over the last decade have done the American people a disservice in continuing to characterize Osama bin Laden as a thug, as a gangster, as a degenerate personality, as some kind of abhorrent individual."
Must Read Structured Cruelty- Learning to be a Lean, Mean Killing Machine What I learned about Marines is that despite the stereotype of the chivalrous knight, wearing dress blues with sword drawn, or the green killing machine that is always "ready to rumble," the young men and women I encountered instead comprised a cross-section of working-class America. There were neither knights nor machines among us. During my five years in active-duty service, I befriended a recovering meth addict who was still "using," a young male who had prostituted himself to pay his rent before he signed-up, an El Salvadorian immigrant serving in order to receive a green card, a single mother who could not afford her child's healthcare needs as a civilian, a gay teenager who entertained our platoon by singing Madonna karaoke in the barracks to the delight of us all, and many of the country's poor and poorly educated. I came to understand very well what those cries on top of the Grim Reaper expressed. Those teardrops represented hope in the promise of a change in our lives from a world that, for many of us as civilians, seemed utterly hopeless.
After the playing of Taps, lights went out. At which time, a DI would circle around the room and begin moralizing. "One of these days, you're going to figure out what's really tough in the world," he would exclaim. "You think you've got it so bad. But in recruit training, you get three meals a day while we tell you when to shit and blink," he continued. The DI would then lower his voice, "But when you're out on your own, you're gonna see what's hard. You'll see what tough is when you knock up your old woman. You'll realize what's cruel when you get married and find yourself stuck with a fat bitch who just squats out ungrateful kids. You'll learn what the real world's about when you're overseas and your wife back in the states robs you blind and sleeps with your best friend." The DI's nightly homiletic speeches, full of an unabashed hatred of women, were part of the second phase of boot camp, the process of rebuilding recruits into Marines.
US soldier tells court of Iraq rape-murder
A U.S. soldier under
court-martial at a Kentucky military base broke down in tears on
Wednesday as he described how he and others planned the rape of a
14-year-old Iraqi girl, murdered along with her family. Sgt. Paul
Cortez, 24, is the second U.S. soldier to plead guilty to raping the
girl and killing her and her family in Mahmudiya, south of Baghdad, in
March 2006. The soldiers then poured kerosene on the girl's body and
lit her on fire in an attempt to cover up the crime. Cortez, wearing a
dress green uniform and flanked by his civilian and military lawyers,
described how he, Spc. James Barker and a since-discharged soldier,
Pvt. Steven Green, planned the attack over liquor and a game of cards.
"While we were playing cards Barker and Green started talking about
having sex with an Iraqi female. Barker and Green had already
known..." Cortez said before breaking down. He bowed his head and
remained silent, sniffling occasionally, for a full minute before
continuing. "Barker and Green had already known what, um, house they
wanted to go to ... knew only one male was in the house, and knew it
would be an easy target," Cortez said.
Once at the house, Green, the suspected ringleader, took the girl's
mother, father and little sister into a bedroom, Cortez said, while he
and Barker took the teenager, Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, to the living
room.
"She kept squirming and trying to keep her legs closed and saying
stuff in Arabic," Cortez said.
"During the time me and Barker were raping Abeer, I heard five or six
gunshots that came from the bedroom. After Barker was done, Green came
out of the bedroom and said that he had killed them all, that all of
them were dead," Cortez said.
"Green then placed himself between Abeer's legs to rape her," Cortez
said, sniffing audibly. When Green was finished, he "stood up and shot
Abeer in the head two or three times." The entire crime took about
five minutes to carry out, he added.
Cortez said the girl knew her parents and sister had been shot while
she was being raped. He said she screamed and cried throughout the
assault.
Iraq Mujahideen shot down another American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military helicopter A American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military Black Hawk helicopter was shot down by Mujahideen on Wednesday in a rural area, 30 kilometers north of Baghdad.
In defeat Britain Christian kafir terrorists occupation military to withdraw 1,600 troops from Iraq Britain will withdraw around 1,600 of its terrorists soldiers from Iraq in the "coming months," aiming to cut its force to below 5,000 by late summer if Iraqi forces can secure the southern part of the country, Prime Minister Tony Blair said today. British Christian kafir terrorists occupation military troops will stay in Iraq until at least 2008 and work to secure the Iran-Iraq border and maintain supply routes to American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military and coalition terrorists troops in central Iraq, Blair told the House of Commons. "The actual reduction in forces will be from the present 7,100 -- itself down from over 9,000 two years ago and 40,000 at the time of the conflict -- to roughly 5,500," Blair said.
Denmark to withdraw all troops from Iraq in August Denmark will withdraw all of its 460 troops stationed in Iraq in August, Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen announced on Wednesday.

Taliban: Spring offensive is coming Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban's Mujahideen commander, has told Al Jazeera that he has deployed more than 6,000 of his Mujahideen in preparation for a spring offensive against the Afghan puppet government and its allies. "The attack is imminent," he told Al Jazeera's Arabic channel in an interview aired on Wednesday. "The number of Taliban Mujahideen who are ready to launch the spring battle has reached 6000," he told Ahmed Zeidan, the Kabul bureau chief of Al Jazeera's Arabic channel. Dadullah said that the Mujahideen were concealed in tunnels and elsewhere in preparation for launching their attack. He said he might even be able to deploy even more Mujahideen if Nato troop increases continued to prompt more Afghans to take up arms. "It may rise to 10.000," he said. "The more the number of Jewish and Christian soldiers who fight us increases, the more the Afghan people will be encouraged to join us." Taliban commanders also told Al Jazeera that they had obtained new weapons suitable for use against helicopters. Dadullah's warnings came as Ali Jan Orkazi, the governor of the North West Frontier province of neighbouring Pakistan, said that the Taliban was growing stronger. "As time passes, Taliban becomes more powerful," he told Al Jazeera. "Today, they have reached a stage where many local residents support them. This makes it [the movement] evolve into a kind of a national and resistance movement; a kind of a liberation war against the coalition forces." Source Al Jazeera
New fighting operations reported in Djokhar and on the south of Chechnya
Kashmir group denies role in India train bombing Lashkar-i-Taiba Wednesday denied involvement in this week's bombing of a cross-border India-Pakistan train, saying its activities were confined to the restive occupied Kashmir where it was fighting against the Indian rule. Lashkar issued the denial in a statement published Wednesday on the website of Greater Kashmir, a regional English-language daily. “We don't believe in such brutal acts and killing of innocents; our activities are confined to Jammu and Kashmir where Mujahideen are fighting occupational forces,” Abdullah Gaznavi, the group's spokesman, said in the telephoned statement. “It's the handiwork of the Indian agencies and the Shiv Sena,” Gaznavi charged.
The Ecology of Commerce
"One statistic makes clear the demand placed on
the earth by our economic system: every day the worldwide economy
burns an amount of energy the planet required 10,000 days (27 years)
to create."
"...Germany, formerly the most wasteful nation in Europe, now (is) the
leader in recycling. (But they still have a ways to go, still
averaging yearly 824 pounds of waste per household. At 1900 pounds per
household, we Americans have even farther to go; we're the world's
worst wasters. With just 5 percent of the world's population, we
produce 50 percent of its solid waste.)"
Every natural system in the world today is in decline. The loss of habitat and of biodiversity is not only continuining, but is in fact accelerating. Multinational corporations have become so large and so successful at exploiting the earth's natural resources that we are witnessing the physical limits being reached.
US Health Care Spending Seen Doubling in 10 Years A government report released on Wednesday found that US spending on prescription drugs, hospital care and other health services is expected to double to $4.1 trillion over the next decade, up from $2.1 trillion in 2006. National Health Statistics Group economists said in their projections looking at 2006 to 2016: Nearly 20 cents of every dollar spent in 10 years will go toward health care. Greater spending for prescription medications is expected to fuel much of the increase, especially amid more aggressive treatment of diabetes, heart issues and conditions affecting the central nervous system.
Islamic finance
Islamic banking and financial
institutions grew along with political Islam: it declined, they did
not. In fact, Islamic finance is now a confident part of the new
global world of venture capital, ethical investment and
profit-and-loss sharing.
The assets of Islamic financial institutions now top the 0bn mark.
That is more than a 40-fold increase since 1982 (1). Most of the large
Western financial institutions, following the example of Citibank,
have their own Islamic subsidiaries or, at the very least, Islamic
"windows" or products aimed at their Islamic clientele. As proof of
how many companies are compatible with Islamic law - and not just from
within the Muslim world - there is now even a Dow Jones Islamic market
index.
This may seem strange. We often hear it said
that Islam is incompatible with the new world order that emerged with
the end of the cold war (2). How can practices rooted in the Middle
Ages thrive in the age of technology-driven global finance? Or
institutions that are suspicious of interest operate within a global,
interest-based financial system? And how can Islamic finance, often
considered a facet of political Islam, experience its most rapid
growth just as that same political Islam is on the wane (3)?
Guantanamo Ruling Comparable to Dredd Scott, Korematsu There was a wide range of condemnation recorded in reaction to Tuesday's court ruling upholding an act of Congress that deprived Guantanamo Bay prisoners of the right to challenge their detention in lower federal courts. The decision effectively denied the Guantanamo detainees virtually all access to due process and will almost certainly set in motion legal challenges that will be in the courts for years to come. The Miami Herald recorded a sampling of the reaction to the decision: Hina Shamsi, deputy director of Human Rights First's Law and Security Program said: "The ruling by the Court of Appeals runs counter to one of the most important checks on unbridled executive power enshrined in the US Constitution: the right to challenge imprisonment in a full and fair proceeding." Center for Constitutional Rights legal director Bill Goodman said: "We call on the legal profession and all Americans concerned about the loss of liberty undertaken by the Bush administration and now rubber stamped by the Court of Appeals to join with us in taking this fight to the United States Supreme Court."
Three thousand new Jewish homes being built: watchdog More than 3,000 Jewish settlement housing units are being built in the occupied West Bank where the Jewish population is growing steadily, Israel's anti-settlement watchdog Peace Now said Wednesday. In its annual report on settlements -- considered illegal under international law -- the organisation said the largest sites of construction were in Maale Adumim, east of Jerusalem, Modiin Illit and Beitar Illit. In addition, another 90 caravans were added to wildcat outposts -- which unlike full settlements are not authorised by Israel -- and of which permanent construction is taking place in 30, Peace Now said.
'Dealing with Iran crucial to Israel' It was important for Israel to develop defensive capabilities, but hopefully they will not be forced to use them, said Kyl, referring to the newly tested Arrow missile. Kyl was instrumental in securing US funding for the system. "This relationship has yielded great and crucial results in the past," said Steinitz. "These ongoing visits highlight the Americans' commitment to Israel."
Palestine's Martyred Zionist terrorists martyred an official of Palestine's Islamic Jihad Movement in Jenin in the West Bank on Wednesday. According to hospital officials in the West Bank: Israeli special Forces wearing Palestinian clothes shot Mahmoud Qasem Abu Obeid's vehicle and martyred him. He belonged to Qods battalion and was 25 years old.
Muslim clerics launch petition to UN chief on Jerusalem mosque Muslim clerics launched a campaign Tuesday to stop controversial Israeli excavation work near Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque, vowing to collect one million signatures on a petition to the UN chief. The clerics, including Egyptian-born Yussef al-Qaradawi, rallied in the Qatari capital Doha to launch the drive, which includes plans to sign up one million people across the Arab and Islamic worlds to the petition that will be presented to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Exclusive- The Official Draft of the Oil and Gas Law of The
Iraq Republic, 15 Jan 2007 (Update 1)
To help the Iraqi Ministry Of Oil focus
on its main duties of creating policies, planning, and supervision,
while achieving the necessary upgrading to enhance operational
quality, the oil activates operated solely by the Ministry of Oil have
to be transferred to technical and commercial entities and
institutions including an independent national Iraqi oil company, and
the Iraqi provinces and regions should be given more authorities.
WHEREAS. the rehabilitation and further development of the petroleum Industry will be enhanced by the participation of international and national investors of recognized technical, managerial and operational skills as welt as robust capital resources to help upgrade and develop national expertise and efficiency in the petroleum sector;
US gets new eyes and ears in the sky After years of negotiations, Australia has agreed to host a new US military communications base. The facility will relay data, including instant intelligence, graphics and maps, from a new generation of satellites to ground forces in Asia and the Middle East. The base will also link with a mysterious giant global signals eavesdropping web that the US operates - and which has been exploited for commercial espionage.
China targets more than a satellite Every country will view China's feat of destroying an orbiting satellite through a different prism. The US will undoubtedly see it as a direct challenge to its dominance of space. Taiwan will see it as a way of preventing a move toward independence. Japan will see it as a provocation and a possible spur to move it even further from its official pacifism.
Final India-US nuclear deal may come by early 2008: Burns The India-US civil nuclear deal paving the way for resumption of nuclear commerce between the two countries after 30 years may well become a reality by early 2008, suggests chief US negotiator Nicholas Burns. The US under secretary of state for political affairs is set to have discussions on the whole gamut of bilateral relations with visiting Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon here Wednesday. Once negotiations over implementing the bilateral 123 agreement are completed, the accord will come up for US Congressional approval in an up or down vote with no room for amendment by the end of this year or early 2008, he said at a dinner hosted Monday by the US-India Friendship Council. President George Bush will then sign the final bill into law. "I am determined that we are going to get there as quickly as possible - I know we will," he said and added, "We will continue to rely on this bipartisan support that's being built up as we go along." The US official appreciated the role played by the Indian-American community in convincing members of the US Congress to support the deal and said the enactment of the enabling legislation "really was the coming out party of the Indian-American community in the United States".
India's anti-Iran votes were coerced, says former U.S. official "The best illustration of this is the two votes India cast against Iran at the IAEA," he said, adding: "I am the first person to admit that the votes were coerced." A key role in the entire process was played by the Congressional hearings on the nuclear deal, the former State Department official noted.
India bans export of nuclear technology, material to Iran India on Wednesday imposed a ban on export of any material and technology to Iran that could be used in development of its nuclear weapons and delivery systems. The decision is in compliance with the UN Security Council resolution of last year. The Central government has notified the decision to prohibit export and import of all items, materials and technologies that could contribute to Iran's enrichment-related activities. "Direct or indirect export and import of all items, materials, equipment, goods and technology which could contribute to Iran's enrichment-related, reprocessing or heavy water related activities, or to the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems... whether or not originating in Iran to/from Iran is prohibited," the notification issued by Directorate General of Foreign Trade said. However, there would be some exceptions such as equipment meant for light water reactors and low-enriched uranium when it is incorporated in assembled nuclear fuel elements for such reactors.
India, Pakistan sign nuke deal India and Pakistan signed Wednesday a deal to reduce the risk of a nuclear arms accident. The New Delhi signing ceremony took place in public after Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee and his Pakistani counterpart, Khurshid Kasuri, held an hour and 45 minutes of talks. “The holding of the joint commission meeting as scheduled is a reaffirmation of the commitment of both India and Pakistan to the dialogue process,” Mukherjee told reporters.“You have also witnessed the signing this morning of the agreement between India and Pakistan on reducing the risk of accidents relating to nuclear weapons.”
Western values break British Society
Even the severity
of the law does not deter people from committing crime. Thus, for many
years, Western governments have struggled to reduce the growing number
of pedophiles, rapists, drug addicts, joy riders, burglars,
fraudsters, sleazy politicians, unscrupulous businessmen and the like
– no matter how many laws they enact or how much time and money they
spend on policing. This does not need to be the case. Rather, what
lies at the heart of the issue is the incorrect understanding in
Western societies of crime and its causes; this has led to Western
governments implementing ineffective solutions to combat crime.
