Outrage over Imminent Execution of Iraqi Women One of the three alleged "Mujahideen", Muhammad, 25, gave birth to a daughter after her arrest and is still nursing the child in prison. A second, Talib, 31, is also in prison with her three-year-old child, according to Amnesty International. Talib and Fadhil, 25, were sentenced to death by the Central Criminal Court of Iraq (CCCI) on 31 August 2006 for the 2005 murder of several members of Iraqi security forces in the Baghdad district of Hay al-Furat. Both women denied any involvement. Fadhil reportedly claimed that she was abroad at the time of the alleged killings, according to Amnesty International. Muhammad was sentenced to death on 6 February 2006 by the CCCI, for kidnapping an official from the 'Green Zone' in 2005, according to sources in the Iraqi Lawyers' Union. Her husband is said to have been detained and accused of the same crime.

Silence of Mainstream media: One million post-invasion Iraqi excess deaths ignored I attempted to assess media response to this macabre statistic by doing a Google Search for the phrase "1 million" coupled with word "Iraq". This search yielded 1.37 million URLs – a very promising start giving rise to the wild surmise that the English-speaking world has suddenly changed and has started to massively regard Iraqis, Arabs, Asians and non-Europeans as regular human beings. Unfortunately my joy was short-lived. As I went through URL after URL in the first 100 URLs I found NO mention of excess deaths (avoidable deaths) in Iraq until I reached URLs #91 and # 94. In most of the other articles the "1 million" referred to "Iraqi refugees"or to "dollars" or other currency.

Prince Harry in Blunderland That, though is the fate of the dead. Britain has joined America in crusading, invading, slaughtering, lynching the legitimate President of Iraq. Prince Harry and his 'boys' are now to illegally squat in Palaces or other State buildings. A war crime. He will also be part of the Nuremberg Tribunal's ruling of the 'supreme crime' : a war of agression. It has to be wondered what Her Majesty must think. Only the naiive would think that the capture, or worse, of the Prince would not be the ultimate payback time for numerous British historical injustices in Iraq, ancient a recent. Further, the Prince cannot even go to a night club in London's exclusive Mayfair (and fall out of the door at 3 a. m.) without a personal protection squad. As he becomes, inevitably, the ultimate magnet for the resistance, it is reported an SAS unit has been training to follow/protect/rescue him. What of the prize his 'boys' too, will become, by his presence? The logic of his deployment equals the recent revelation that the Ministry of Defence had spent £eighteen thousand in experiments to find whether random U.K., citizens could find Osama bin Laden by clairvoyance. Prince Harry and his men, whether 'patrolling' or palace squatting, will be a prize beyond gold.

O Somalia, Land of Islam! With the US now using proxies in an effort to control the rich resources of Somalia, for fear of another Black Hawn down that sent them packing, our brothers must remember the glorious ancestry and stand united to establish Allah's rule and religion in its entirety as this poem in your honor inspires.

Horn of Africa
Land of Islam
Able to inspire the Ummah
And put fear in the hearts of the enemy

Your ancestors were Mujihideen
Proud and noble
Live up to their glories
Against invaders like the Italians
Don't collaborate or condemn your brothers
Islam brought order
While kufr and tribalism brings disorder

You've seen it in the past
Don't make the same mistake twice
May Allah help u and give u the victory
Establish Islamic rule in state and society.

Russia Calls on Zionist Entity to Sign NPT The Russian government has called on the illegal Zionist entity, which is possession of over 200 atomic bombs build with US and West European help, to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The Zionist entity has not refused to sign the NPT but it also does not allow the UN nuclear watchdog, the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to inspect its nuclear sites. According to Interfax news agency, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has emphasized that the signing of the NPT by the usurper state of Israel is essential for making the Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction. Elsewhere in his remarks, the Russian Foreign Minister said continued presence of foreign forces in Iraq leads to escalation of political and military crises in that country.

US, Israel begin talks on new 10-year aid plan Danny Ayalon, who served as Israel's ambassador to the United States until November, said Israel was hoping to seal a new 10-year deal before the end of President George W. Bush's mandate in January, 2009. "The political clock is right," Ayalon told the Jerusalem Post newspaper, suggesting Israel should seek more than the current 2.4 billion dollars in annual aid to meet new threats posed by Iran's long-range ballistic missiles or its uranium enrichment program, which both the US and Israel fear is a cover for developing nuclear weapons.

Chavez exploits oil to lend in Latin America, pushing IMF aside Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is squeezing the International Monetary Fund out of Latin America, the region that once accounted for most of its business. IMF lending in the area has fallen to $50 million, or less than 1 percent of its global portfolio, compared with 80 percent in 2005. Meanwhile, Chavez has used his oil wealth to lend $2.5 billion to Argentina, offer $1.5 billion to Bolivia and hold $500 million out to Ecuador.

The Tragedy of a Dozen Evil Men: Americans Have Lost Their Country The Bush-Cheney regime is America's first neoconservative regime. In a few short years, the regime has destroyed the Bill of Rights, the separation of powers, the Geneva Conventions, and the remains of America's moral reputation along with the infrastructures of two Muslim countries and countless thousands of Islamic civilians. Plans have been prepared, and forces moved into place, for an attack on a third Islamic country, Iran, and perhaps Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon as well. This extraordinary aggressiveness toward the US Constitution, international law, and the Islamic world is the work, not of a vast movement, but of a handful of ideologues--principally Vice President Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Lewis Libby, Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Elliott Abrams, Zalmay Khalilzad, John Bolton, Philip Zelikow, and Attorney General Gonzales.

America's Draconian Approach to Criminal Justice: Prisoners of Ideology For the past thirty years, the United States has been on an imprisonment binge unprecedented in world history. In 1980, the total number of people incarcerated in the U.S. was 500,000. Today the number stands at 2.2 million, with a further 4.8 million on probation or parole. The total U.S. prison budget increased from $9 billion in 1980 to $61 billion by 2003.

While the U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world's population, it now has 25 percent of the world's prisoners. In other words, the country that often proclaims itself the freest in the world, imprisons its population at a rate over six times higher than the rest of the planet. The U.S. incarceration rate stands at 737 per 100,000, over five times higher than Great Britain and over twelve times higher than Norway. The statistics for minority populations are even more shocking. For Latinos, the imprisonment rate is twice the national average. For Blacks it is four times the national average, with over one million African-American men in prison or jail. In 2002, 10.4 percent of all Black males between the ages of 25 and 29 were imprisoned, and the numbers have not improved since then.

US court upholds dismissal of a lawsuit against CIA torture A U.S. appeals court has uphold the dismissal of a lawsuit against former CIA Director George Tenet and 10 CIA employees by a German who says he was kidnapped and tortured by the U.S. spy agency about three years ago. A unanimous three-judge panel of the appeals court based in Richmond, Virginia, agreed with U.S. government arguments that moving forward with the lawsuit by Khaled el-Masri, a German of Lebanese origin, would pose a risk of exposing state secrets. The appeals court upheld a federal judge's ruling that dismissed the lawsuit that seeks at least $75,000 in damages. The case has drawn worldwide attention to the U.S. "extraordinary rendition" policy in which Mujahideen suspects have been sent from one foreign country to another for interrogation. Masri's case sparked outrage in Germany and prompted a parliamentary inquiry to find out what authorities might have known about U.S. renditions. Masri said he was abducted by Macedonian authorities on December 31, 2003, while on vacation. He said he was held prisoner in a Skopje hotel room for 23 days and beaten, stripped and mistreated. He said he was then taken by members of a CIA team and flown to Afghanistan, where he was held as a Mujahideen suspect for five months. Masri said he was held in solitary confinement and deprived of sleep.

Democrats Buy War From Bush And Use It To Fund Projects For Their Constituents The Democrats Iraq War may be even more disgusting than the Republicans. They are using it as a Christmas tree to fund a host of projects that they could not get funded in any other way.

The Democrats have reportedly decided to pass the Iraq War supplemental with meaningless restrictions designed to embarrass the president rather than end the war or bring the troops home safely. They will require the president to explain why he is using troops that are not combat ready, rather than stopping him from doing so.

Mourning a secret Australia Palm Island is one of the most beautiful on the Great Barrier Reef...Established in 1918 as a detention camp for Aboriginal men, women and children convicted of the crimes of homelessness, rebelliousness and drunkenness, it has changed mostly on the surface. When I first went there in 1980, an epidemic of gastroenteritis was deemed life-threatening. Two years later...Aboriginal deaths from common, infectious diseases were up to 300 times higher than the white average, and the highest in the world. In the cemetery, overlooking waves breaking gently on the coral reef, many of the headstones bear the names of children.

Controlling The Men In Shadows Given the increasing cooperation between India and the US including the Joint Working Group on Counter Terrorism and the India-US Defence Policy Group, India is likely to learn from its stronger partner strategies that may prove inappropriate for our part of the world and democratic status. There is therefore, at a minimum, a need to be alert to the possibility of subversion of the state from within, and, more widely, to ascertain if those vested with power without having to account for it have a sustainable ethical grid.

US selects new nuclear warhead design The United States said it had selected the design of next-generation nuclear warheads, a step toward the construction of new bombs for the sea-based nuclear arsenal to replace aging Cold War-era stock. The program, named Reliable Replacement Warhead, now will enter a new development phase and be subjected to a cost estimation. After congressional approval, the new warheads were to be produced under the direction of the US Navy. The design chosen has the advantage of being the most similar to those used in the most recent underground tests, which increases the likelihood it will not have to undergo new testing, NNSA said.

Missile shield program must be within NATO framework: Germany German Defence Minister Franz Josef Jung called for NATO to seek talks with Russia on the planned US anti-missile system in eastern Europe which Moscow strongly opposes. "We need to discuss the development of such a system within NATO and we need to discuss the questions which concern Russia with a NATO-Russia council," said Jung, on the sidelines of a meeting of defence ministers of the EU member states, most of which are also NATO members.

Czechs Unhappy about US Rocket Base on their Soil Recent surveys in the Czech Republic reveal that more than 60 percent of the people are against a US rocket base in their country. Based on the survey conducted by the CVVM Institute, the Czech people mention the danger to their national security as the main reason for their criticism of a US rocket base on their soil. The US on January reported that it intends to install so-called anti-missile stations in the Czech Republic and in Poland. Russia has voiced strong opposition to the US plan.

New UN sanctions on Iran to be Senior US and European officials have indicated that new UN sanctions being drawn up against Iran to curb its nuclear program will involve only a relatively minor tightening of measures imposed by the world body in December. "This is going to be an incremental resolution," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack. "It will be proportionate to the response that the Iranians have given the international community to this point," he told reporters as diplomats from the big five UN Security Council states plus Germany pursued talks on the new resolution. McCormack would not go into detail on the new sanctions being considered in light of Iran's refusal to comply with the December resolution demanding it suspend a uranium enrichment program that can also be used to develop nuclear weapons. But a senior US official said the resolution would not include significant new punitive measures but would rather extend targeted measures against firms and individuals involved with Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. "We are talking about the issues of travel bans and asset freezes," the official said.

Pakistan test- fires Hataf-II Abdali missile Pakistan on Saturday successfully test-fired surface-to-surface Hataf-II Abdali missile. The missile have a range of 200 kilometers (125 miles) and capable of carrying all types of warheads.

US Army Secretary Resigns in Scandal's Wake It began with reports of mice and mould-plaster, but after two weeks of outrage, the scandal over poor conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center has claimed several careers — including the secretary of the Army's. Secretary Francis Harvey's abrupt dismissal Friday came under withering criticism from Pentagon chief Robert Gates, who said the Army's response to the substandard conditions for the war-wounded was defensive, and not aggressive enough. And it left the door open for more personnel changes, as investigations continue and Congress prepares for hearings next week. Harvey's departure was the most dramatic move during two weeks of furor over the treatment of soldiers at one of the military's highest-profile and busiest medical facilities. Gates said Harvey had resigned, but senior defense officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Gates had privately demanded that Harvey leave.

Pakistan government propaganda to please American Christian kafir terrorists exposed Mullah Obaidullah is a free man living currently in Afghanistan The Taliban on Friday rejected as baseless reports of arrest of their defense minister and a key aide to Ameer al-Mu`mineen Mullah Omar Mujahid.

Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, Taliban spokesman , said the former defense minister Mullah Obaidullah was a free man living currently in Afghanistan and not in Pakistan, where he was reported to have been captured.

I have contacted him and he is free and in good health, said Ahmadi, terming reports of his arrest as absolutely false.

Mullah Obaidullah is considered to be an important military leader for the Taliban movement. He is a member of the 10-strong leadership council of the group.

Pakistani media quoted anonymous officials there as saying that Obaidullah was among the five senior Taliban officials arrested in Quetta city of Balochistan province on Monday.

Ahmadi, also said those detained in Quetta were ordinary Afghans and that none of them was a Taliban member.

Al-Qaeda Ready to take on the world

Notes Theunjustmedia does not support the idea presented by Mr. Syed Saleem Shahzad the writer of Al-Qaeda ready to take the world, that Taliban have made a deal with Pakistan or vice versa. Taliban are a Afghanistan Islamic movement, trying to implement Islamic laws to govern its citizens.

This situation benefits Pakistan, cause Pakistan wants to see a Islamic ruled Afghanistan for its geopolitical benefits. Point is, if Pakistan did not want to have a Islamic government in Afghanistan, the Taliban movement would still continuing, cause its a movement which is independent of Pakistan or Pakistan government policies.

If Pakistan and the Taliban do make a deal, it would be a deal where Taliban would never compromise in ways which would hinder them from achieving their goals.

To say that the Taliban and Al-Qaeda are going in different directions is incorrect, Taliban objectives are national and Al-Qaeda objectives are international, but the objectives are the same, You would never meet a Taliban who does not respect Al-Qaeda Mujahideen.

We should never forget the fact, that Al-Qaeda established it self first in Afghanistan, its Mujahideen have been there for three decades, its the place they call home and it will remain that way, cause there is no country in the world that can ever claim to do what Afghanistan did for one man named Sheikh Osama bin laden.

American asked Taliban to give Sheikh Osama bin laden or face the America military wrath. America the world Super Power as it claims asking a country, which has been decimated by wars, one of the poorest countries in the world, but still the Taliban leader Ameer al-Mu`mineen Mullah Omar Mujahid rejected that offer of Americans, we rather go to war then give you are guess Sheikh Osama bin laden.

Where in history do you find this kind of bravery and sacrifices being made by a whole nation for defending one man. Afghanistan loves the Ansar Mujahideen and never will they betrayed them, if it means giving up everything they got, its called loyalty and the west underestimated Afghan Mujahideen and now they have to face the consequences of their ignorance.

Part 1 ... al-Qaeda will this year significantly step up its global operations after centralizing its leadership and reviving its financial lifelines Crucially, al-Qaeda has developed missile and rocket technology with the capability of carrying chemical, biological and nuclear warheads, according to an al-Qaeda insider.

Part 2 ... al-Qaeda is so powerful in Saudi Arabia that the monarchy had no choice but to strike a deal. Similarly, it was al-Qaeda's choice, he said, that it concentrate this year on Iraq The way that al-Qaeda sees it, it will consolidate in Iraq to the extent that it and the "coalition of the willing" have their respective and identified occupied areas from which to fight each other. The Saudi front is thus only deferred until al-Qaeda gains sufficient ground in Iraq. The "arrangement" between al-Qaeda and the Saudis reveals a diplomatic double-step by Saudi Arabia, which Washington considers an important ally in the "war on terror" and in helping establish a Sunni front against rising Shi'ite power in the region, led by Iran. Al-Qaeda uses Maaskar al-Battar in Saudi Arabia to train youths in guerrilla warfare, including the use of SA-7 surface-to-air missiles. Research is also conducted at the camp, as well as in Afghanistan. This includes work on "Abeer" rockets to carry nuclear or chemical weapons. Last October, the insurgent group Islamic Army in Iraq claimed to have successfully built and tested a rocket with a range of 120 kilometers. It was named Abeer after the 14-year-old Iraqi girl raped and killed by a US soldier who last month received a jail sentence of 100 years.

Part 3 ... a manual called Muswatul Jihad al-Afghani (The Encyclopedia of Jihad) has 11 volumes and is authored by Abdul Hadi al-Iraqi It is a good reflection of al-Qaeda's tactical ideas and deals with chemical weapons and explosives and their application, such as planting them on bridges and at strategic installations to get optimum results. It is intended to equip international operations with clear tactical ideas on how upcoming battles should be fought. The encyclopedia is available in jihadist circles in book form as well as on compact discs. It was written in Arabic and translated into Pashto, Urdu and English.

US senators urge pressure on Musharraf over Al-Qaeda Members of the Senate Thursday urged the Bush administration to consider ways of taking military action against al-Qaeda camps in Pakistan if President Pervez Musharraf is incapable of acting on his own. Democratic and Republican lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee pressed Defence Department officials to clarify whether international law would allow U.S. forces in Afghanistan to strike in areas of Pakistan where U.S. intelligence says al-Qaeda is rebuilding. Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama suggested the United States could act under the same legal argument used to justify the 2001 American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military-led invasion that toppled Taliban rule in Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 attacks.

U.S. pressure could destabilize Pakistan: Ambassador Durrani U.S. pressure, including congressional threats to cut or put conditions on billions of dollars in aid, could destabilize Pakistan and maybe even bring down President Pervez Musharraf, Islamabad's envoy to Washington said Thursday. In an interview with Reuters, Ambassador Mahmud Ali Durrani expressed concern that anti-Mujahideen cooperation among the United States, Afghanistan and Pakistan was eroding and rejected what he said were attempts to unfairly blame Islamabad for an upsurge in cross-border violence. Tampering with U.S. aid levels will fan anti-Americanism, strengthen the extreme right and Taliban supporters, be counterproductive, and “create problems for Musharraf to be able to continue the way he is,” Durrani said. Asked if it might trigger Musharraf's ouster, he replied: “I don't know. Possibly it could bring him down. It could destabilize the whole country…cause mega-problems there. That is possible”.

Worshippers of idols Indian army terrorists soldiers martyr two more Kashmiri youth: Mirwaiz urges India to start demilitarization In occupied Kashmir, Worshippers of idols Indian army terrorists soldiers in their fresh acts of state terrorism martyred two more Kashmiri youth in Rajouri. The troops shot them dead in a fake encounter in Mohra Daraj area of the district, last night. Addressing Juma congregation in the Jamia Mosque Srinagar, today, the APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq urged India to pull out its troops from occupied Kashmir, realizing that use of force had failed to suppress Kashmiris’ struggle. He said that the dialogue process to resolve the Kashmir dispute had entered into a crucial phase.

Protesters clash with Worshippers of idols Indian police in Budgam: 15 cops injured, several protesters arrested In occupied Kashmir, forceful protest demonstrations were held at Chuan village in Budgam against killing of a 50-year-old man by Indian armed agents. The agitated protesters clashed with the Indian police, leaving 15 cops, including the Station House Officer (SHO) Budgam, injured. The clash occurred after the demonstrators refused to bury the dead body. The body of Sona Najar son of Abdullah of Mujepathri village was recovered from a nullah. The villagers carried the body in the form of a procession in a vehicle and tried to march towards Srinagar. They shouted full-throated anti-India and pro-liberation slogans.

Worshippers of idols Indian terrorists army’s hand behind Doodipora civilians killings exposed In occupied Kashmir, fourteen eye-witnesses have given their deposition before the inquiry officer over the past two days in the probe into the killing of four persons, including three students, by Worshippers of idols Indian army terrorists soldiers in Doodipora area of Handwara last year. The witnesses charged the Worshippers of idols Indian army terrorists soldiers with opening unprovoked fire on children and youth playing cricket in the local field. The Doodipora killings, which took place on February 22 last year, sparked off massive protests all over the occupied valley. The investigating committee recorded the statements of 8 persons who are eyewitnesses to the incident. The army detachment that opened fire was led by a captain — the same officer who had harassed and persecuted Doodipora residents at every level during his tenure of duty in the area. The officer was notorious for unwarranted victimization of villagers. The witnesses also told the inquiry officer that they had been pressurized in several ways to prevent them from giving evidence, and just two months ago six of their relatives were arrested to keep them (the witnesses) from testifying. The relatives were later released when the witnesses remained firm on their decision to depose.

Seventeen years of turmoil has not only ruined the Jammu Kashmir economically but, has turned the valley in to the land of widows and orphans. It is matter of fact that that in state there are more than twenty-five thousand orphans (25,000) and approximately six thousand 6000 widows in state but Central and State government are un aware of this amazing and horrifying fact and they only have data of arms and ammunition recovered or militants gun down by security forces during search operations.

Canadian Ambassasdor to Guatemala spreads misinformation about mining issues Multiple sources, including Guatemalan church leaders, have now attested that ambassador Cook has been engaging an active campaign of disinformation to discredit what Schnoor has brought to light in his recent work, which examines the conduct of Canadian mining companies operating in Central America, and traces complicity in human rights violations by such companies.

Three years later: Canada must be held accountable for Haiti coup “Canada has made a significant contribution to stability in Haiti,” noted George W. Bush, in remarks to the media after meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in July 2006 (1). Three years after Canada helped lead a coup d'état against the democratically elected government of Haiti, almost no one in Ottawa has been held accountable for this crime against the sovereignty of the hemisphere’s poorest nation.

What, Exactly, Are We Dying For? I think it was after my first firefight in Iraq, I've forgotten the exact time and date but it was after midnight one day in April 2004, that I first asked myself, “What, exactly, did we almost die for?” It seemed to me at the time that there was never a plan. What was our mission exactly? What was our goal? What, exactly, were we there to accomplish? Why were soldiers dying?

US missile shield would include Caucasus-based radar US plans to extend a missile defence system into Europe, which have been met with hostility by Russia, include a radar system based in the Caucasus, the head of the US missile agency said Thursday. The "forward deployable radar" would provide an "early acquisition track" on any hostile missile for a bigger radar system based in the Czech Republic, US Air Force Lieutenant General Henry Obering said. "It's a transportable radar, it's something that you can set up in a matter of days, very, very fast. We have time to work out where that location could be," he told reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

When asked which country in the volatile Caucasus region might be willing to host the site, he said: "I am not at liberty to talk about that in any length ... suffice to say that we would like to place a radar in that region." Obering, who met with Russian officials here during two days of talks, played down any potential risk this mobile radar could pose to Russia. "That radar would be oriented into Iran. We can't turn it around to look into Russia, and even if we can, it can't see far enough to be able to establish a track on a Russian missile," he said. The United States announced in January it had begun negotiations with Poland and the Czech Republic to install a radar and 10 missile interceptors, prompting strong objections from neighbouring Russia and an outcry in Europe.

China demands US to cancel planned missile sale to Taiwan China demanded the United States to scrap a planned sale of hundreds of missiles to Taiwan, warning the deal would harm regional stability and bilateral ties. 'We solemnly demand the leader of the United States immediately cancel this weapons sale (and) avoid harming the peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits and Sino-US relations,' foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said. 'The Chinese side expresses its strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to this. We have raised solemn representations with the US side.' The US Department of Defense this week notified Congress that it plans to sell Taiwan 421 million USD worth of missiles, which would help boost the island's defenses against mainland China.

'The proposed sale will help improve the security of the recipient and assist in maintaining political stability, military balance, and economic progress in the region,' the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency said. Acquisition of 218 Advanced Medium Range air-to-air missiles and 235 Maverick missiles would help Taiwan 'modernize its armed forces and enhance its defense ability to counter air and ground threats,' it said. Qin said the sale would violate US commitments to a 'one-China policy,' which maintains that there is only one China, with Beijing as its capital.

By selling weapons to Taiwan, Washington would also be violating its promise to gradually reduce sales to the island territory, he said. China considers Taiwan a part of its territory to be reunified by force if necessary. The US is committed to providing Taiwan with defensive weaponry in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act, a US law passed when it switched its political recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979.

The Pentagon’s Power to Arrest, Torture, and Execute Americans Everyone needs to understand the nature of this power and its enormous significance. Historically, the U.S. military has lacked the power to arrest, incarcerate, or inflict harm on American civilians. If Americans committed a federal crime, they were subject to being indicted by a federal grand jury and then prosecuted in U.S. District Court. The Bill of Rights guaranteed that the accused would be accorded certain rights of due process of law, such as the right to defend himself with the assistance of an attorney, to confront the witnesses whose testimony the prosecutors were relying on, to summon witnesses in his behalf, to remain silent, and to have a trial by jury. Everyone was presumed to be innocent and the government had to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Those constitutional protections and guarantees were upended on 9/11, without even the semblance of a constitutional amendment. On 9/11 the president and the Pentagon assumed to themselves the power to take any American into custody and inflict violence on him, without according him any of the protections provided by the Bill of Rights.

National ID Card Rules Unveiled Homeland Security officials released long-delayed guidelines that turn state-issued identification cards into de facto internal passports Thursday, estimating the changes will cost states and individuals $23 billion over 10 years. The move prompted a new round of protest from civil libertarians and security experts, who called on Congress to repeal the 2005 law known as the Real ID Act that mandates the changes. Critics, such as American Civil Liberties Union attorney Tim Sparapani, charge that the bill increases government access to data on Americans and amplifies the risk of identity theft, without providing significant security benefits.

Israelis at Abu Ghraib? Shortly after the tales of prisoner abuse gained widespread public notice, an unlikely news source, the right-wing NewsMax, broke a remarkable angle: Israeli agents appear to have participated in -- and may even have directed -- the Abu Ghraib abuses.

What the hell were Israelis doing in that place?

It was explained that the Israelis involved have been assigned as "civilian contractors" to work with Coalition forces in interrogating Iraqi POWs.

The "contractors" are said to be veterans of Israel's domestic intelligence unit, Shin Bet, as well as the more famous international intelligence agency, the Mossad.

"Who has better experience in dealing with the Arabs than Israel?" one source asked.

It was explained that several of the "interrogation" techniques used by U.S. forces in Iraq have in fact been used by Israel "for years."

The killing of two East Timorese protestors by the Australian Christian kafir terrorist military on February 23 at a refugee camp near the Dili airport points to the real motivation behind the Howard government’s East Timor intervention Australian Christian kafir terrorist troops shot and killed Jacinto Soares, 32, on the spot. Atoy Dasy, 36, died in hospital the next day. A third man, 40-year-old Geraldo Martins, remains in a critical condition in hospital. The director of Dili Guido Valadares hospital, Antonio Caleres, told the news agency Adnkronos International (AKI) that Jacinto was shot in the head and Atoy in the chest. Shots to the head and chest are intended to kill. The three men were among a crowd of protestors throwing rocks and other objects at Australian Christian kafir terrorist troops and UN Christian terrorist police outside the Internally Displaced People (ISP) camp adjacent to the airport. The East Timorese government and international security forces have been trying to evict the 8,000 terrified and defiant residents, who have nowhere else to live. The very fact that tens of thousands of refugees in Dili are still living in these squalid conditions makes a mockery of the Howard government’s claim that it sent troops to East Timor to help the people. The real purpose of last year’s military intervention was to secure the interests of Australian imperialism for resources and regional influence, against its rivals, especially Portugal and China, and to suppress all local opposition to its agenda. The killings underscore the increasingly brutal character of this operation.

Iran raising wall along border with Pakistan Iran has started building a concrete wall along its border with Pakistan, from Taftan to Mand, to stop illegal border crossings. According to reports received here, the wall will be built from near the border town of Taftan, about 700km west of Quetta. "The Iranian Shia kafir authorities started work on the wall about a month ago," according to Barkat Ali Khan, a Pakistani border town administration official. "The concrete wall will be 10 feet high and 3 feet wide," he said, adding that hundreds of workers could be seen building the wall. He said that the Iranian Shia kafir authorities appeared to be in a hurry to complete the project. "I think they want to seal the border with Pakistan to stop illegal crossings from both sides and check drug smuggling," Mr Barkat said, adding that the wall would be up to the Mand area in the Turbat district of Balochistan. Pakistan and Iran already fenced their border at different points a long time ago.

Another American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military helicopter shot down by Mujahideen in Iraq On Thursday, American Christian kafir terrorists occupation army OH-58 Kiowa helicopter was shot down by Mujahideen in south of the city of Kirkuk, in northern Iraq. Mujahideen have shot down nine helicopters since Jan. 20 in Iraq. Seven of those helicopters were American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military and two belonged to a private American Christian kafir terrorists occupation security firm.

Sheikh Osama bin Laden is alive, says Taliban leader (There are some people who think that sheikh Osama is dead and some people believe he works for the CIA, while some people believe he was trained by CIA to fight the Russian communist in Afghanistan, well they are all wrong, all these things that these people believe, are as much of a truth as the holocaust was) ........Sheikh Osama bin Laden is alive and is in contact with leaders of Afghanistan's Taliban Mujahideen, a senior Taliban commander said in an interview aired on British television. Mullah Dadullah said he had not met Sheikh Osama bin Laden since the fall of the Taliban regime after the American Christian kafir terrorists occupation army-led invasion of Afghanistan in2001.

``Only his comrades see him; we exchange messages with each other to share plans,'' Dadullah said in an interview broadcast by a British network.

``We also go to the battlefield together. We actually meet very rarely, just for important consultations. It's hard for anyone to meet Bin Laden himself now, but we know he's still alive.

``He's not yet martyred. Such information would be easy to get, his comrades stand shoulder to shoulder with us. They keep us informed,'' said Dadullah, commander of Taliban operations in eastern and southeastern Afghanistan and a trusted associate of Taliban leader Mullah Omar.

Enemies covert operation ... Today explosion in Farah province not carried out by Mujahideen Thursday morning an explosion happened in a corner of Farah city in front of the office of Farah province.

This Spring America's Target Is Not Iran But Pakistan America knows full well that she will not be able to crush the Pushtun resistance and that Musharraf may not survive. But the US has no choice-it is make or break for the US in Afghanistan and the calculus of Musharraf survival is irrelevant. America's tactical goal is to degrade the resistance in Afghanistan and confine it to a small area until next spring. By then the Bush administration hopes that situation in Iraq would have stabilised and there would be more US troops to confront the Pushtun resistance in Afghanistan 2008. But the reality may turn out to be entirely different- instead of the Pushtun resistance the Caliphate could be waiting for America.

The Khyber Impasse: The Case for Withdrawal from Afghanistan At the beginning of this war Mrs Bush and Mrs Blair appeared on numerous TV and radio shows claiming that the aim of the war was to liberate Afghan women. Try repeating that today and the women will spit in your face. Who is responsible for this disaster? Why is the country still subjugated? What are Washington's strategic goals in the region? What is the function of NATO? And how long can any country remain occupied against the will of a majority of its people? Few tears were shed in Afghanistan and elsewhere when the Taliban fell, the hopes aroused by Western demagogy did not last too long. It soon became clear that the new transplanted elite would cream off a bulk of the foreign aid and create its own criminal networks of graft and patronage. The people suffered. A mud cottage with a thatched roof to house a family of homeless refugees costs fewer than five thousand dollars. How many have been built? Hardly any.

Jewish Professor Boasts of Jewish Pornography used as a Weapon Against Gentiles to destroy Christianity A story little told is that of Jews in Hollywood’s seedier cousin, the adult film industry. Perhaps we’d prefer that the ‘triple exthnics’ didn’t exist, but there’s no getting away from the fact that secular Jews played (and still continue to play) a disproportionate role throughout the adult film industry in America. Jewish involvement in pornography has a long history in the United States, as Jews have helped transform a fringe subculture into what has become a primary constituent of Americana. These are the ‘true blue’ Jews. Jewish activity in the porn industry divides into two (sometimes overlapping) groups: pornographers and performers. Though Jews make up only two per cent of the American population, they have been prominent in pornography. In the postwar era, America’s most notorious pornographer was Reuben Sturman, the ‘Walt Disney of Porn’. According to the US Department of Justice, throughout the 1970s Sturman controlled most of the pornography circulating in the country. … It was said that Sturman did not simply control the adult-entertainment industry; he was the industry. Many are entirely secular, Jews in name only. Sturman, however, identified as a Jew - he was a generous donator to Jewish charities.

Is there a deeper reason, beyond the mere financial, as to why Jews in particular have become involved in porn?… Al Goldstein, the publisher of Screw, said “The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don’t believe in authoritarianism.” Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged.… Extending the subversive thesis, Jewish involvement in the X-rated industry can be seen as a proverbial two fingers to the entire WASP establishment in America.

New clashes reported on the South of Chechnya On the same day, near the settlement of Eshelhatoj the mobile group of Mujahideen has fired a group of Russian occupants. According to a source during 20 minute fighting Mujahideen have destroyed not less than 2 invaders. Some unbelievers have been wounded. From the Chechen side easy wound was received by 1 Mujahid.

Operation of Mujahideen near the village of Elistanzhi A mobile group of Mujahideen from the structure of one among divisions of the East Front AF CRI (the commander amir Hayrullah) have carried out successful divisive operation near the village of Elistanzhi (Vedenskiy district) in result of which military lorry URAL has been blown up.

The mine of distant control has been blown up, and after explosion Mujahideen have shot an escort by the automatic weapon. During this operation it has been destroyed 7 unbelievers, many of them have received wounds. Three Mujahideen have received easy wounds during this fight. The edition emphasizes: "Similar operations against invaders are spent practically in every district of Ichkeria". Source Kavkaz center

Fake prescription medicines are swamping developing nations with sometimes deadly consequences, a report by the UN drugs watchdog has said The International Narcotics Control Board report says up to 50% of the medicines in these markets are fake. It also says abuse of prescription drugs will soon overtake that of illegal narcotics worldwide. The board said governments had to enforce existing laws and bring in new ones on illegal internet drug sales. Courier services, the general mail and local markets were other major means of counterfeit sales, it said. The report said the fakes market was "increasing rapidly".

Israel "incarnation of Satan", says Ahmadinejad Zionists are the "true incarnation of Satan," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in his latest verbal assault on Tehran's arch foe Israel, the state-run news agency reported Thursday. "Zionists are the true incarnation of Satan," Ahmadinejad told a meeting of Sudanese Islamic scholars late on Wednesday on the first day of his state visit to Sudan. "The Zionist regime was created by the British, brought up by the Americans and commits crimes in the region with their support," he charged. "The Zionist regime is the symbol of hedonism and the incarnation of the soul of the oppressive powers," added Ahmadinejad, whose comments were greeted by shouts of "God is Great!" by the scholars, agency said. "The people of the world have woken up and detest the oppressive powers," Ahmadinejad added. "Numerous Western powers that claim to defend democracy and human rights close their eyes to the Zionist crimes," he added.

British Government Says: Israel Must 'Come Clean about Its Nuclear Bombs' The British government is calling on the Zionist regime for the first time to officially admit to its illegal stockpile of nuclear weapons that is contrary to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). During a parliamentary debate on the dispute over Iran's civilian nuclear programme on Tuesday evening, British Foreign Office member, Kim Howells said: "There is no question that Israel should come clean about its nuclear bombs and delivery systems." Howells warned that other MPs had also made "the important point that Israel will start to develop a second strike capacity." He added, "I know from my discussions in the Persian Gulf that the Egyptians, the Saudis and Turkey will want such a bomb because they feel threatened by that regime, which is why there is no more important issue on the international horizon." The issue was raised by backbench Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn, who asked the Foreign Office Minister to comment on "Israel's development of a nuclear arsenal and on the treatment of India and Pakistan." Corbyn said: "Both of which have developed nuclear weapons and are being rewarded with large amounts of western aid and technology, even though they would both have been in breach of the non-proliferation treaty had they been signatories to it." He also told MPs that Iran was a signatory to the NPT, "unlike Israel, which has 200 nuclear missile warheads and is not a signatory to any international treaty on the control of nuclear weapons."

The Locusts: Killing Civilization in Mesopotamia The locusts in uniform, who have destroyed Iraq, humanity, sustenance, its history, predating the time of Christ and the Prophet Mohammed, are never, it seems, satiated or satisfied. From the early defiling (ongoing) of Mosques, cemeteries (Muslim, Christian, Yazidi ...) even the sacred tributes to the memory of the martyrs are being destroyed and defiled.

Estimates based on Estimates: Corporate media accountability in covering the US crimes against humanity Let’s go forward a few months from the discovery of the almost half million bodies. On July 18, 2004, the headline of the day for the British paper The Independent read, "British Prime Minister Admits Graves Claim Untrue." How could that be? George Bush and Tony Blair don’t lie. If we can’t trust them, who can we trust? Certainly not Saddam, even though he told the truth about WMD. That must have been a fluke.

Oil Grab: The Secret Scheme to Split Iraq (What the White house terrorists report to the public through mainstream media as sectarian violence in Iraq, is just a covert of their butchering of Iraqi people, so it can achieve its objectives by dividing Iraq, this way they kill many birds in one shot, first making life easy for Israel, secondly take hold of the world second largest oil reserves and many other benefits it seeks from this occupation. In order for the Iraqi people and the world to go with this policy of dividing Iraq, justifications are needed, reason are created so that comes out as the only solution to solving Iraq problems. US troops will stay in Iraq until that policy is implemented until that time comes more blood of Iraqis will pour on every street corner of Iraq). While debate rages in the United States about the military in Iraq, an equally important decision is being made inside of Iraq--the future of Iraq's oil. A new Iraqi law proposes to open the country's currently nationalized oil system to foreign corporate control. But emblematic of the flawed promotion of "democracy" by the Bush administration, this new law is news to most Iraqi politicians. A leaked copy of the proposed hydrocarbon law appeared on the Internet last week at the same time that it was introduced to the Iraqi Council of Ministers. The law is expected to go to the Iraqi Council of Representatives within weeks. Yet the Internet version was the first look that most members of Iraq's parliament had of the new law.

737 U.S. Military Bases = Global Empire Once upon a time, you could trace the spread of imperialism by counting up colonies. America's version of the colony is the military base; and by following the changing politics of global basing, one can learn much about our ever more all-encompassing imperial "footprint" and the militarism that grows with it.

A Democracy In Crisis- Who Is Really In Control? As such dirty politics is being actively pursued behind close doors — involving self-serving officials and politicians, their media beneficiaries, larger corporations, religious zealots and the rest — one has to wonder how relevant the American people are to the democratic process in their own country, and more to how they are governed and by whom? If I could only present these questions to my dear professor of many years ago; if he is still alive, I wonder what his answer would be. Would he contend that our system of checks and balances and the foresightedness of the founding fathers would eventually prevail over the corruption of the ruling elites and big businesses? Or would he finally admit that a nation that compromises on its freedom under false pretexts is a nation that is destined to lose its own democracy, once the greatest on earth?

War fighters, Not Missionaries- The Origins of the Three-Block War The posture of the establishment's policymakers and planners betrays an aggressive, military-borne doctrine rooted in advancing Canadian "interests" on a global scale. The implementation of the "three-block war" doctrine is an illustrative example of Canada's intentions. Simply put, the three-block war is an urban warfare doctrine that identifies three separate but often simultaneous spheres of enforcing military control in a city–warfighting, policing and facilitating aid.

US post-Iraq invasion policies 'incompetent': US diplomat The US policy in Iraq following the 2003 invasion was "incompetent, foolish, dubious," the new US coordinator for Iraq's economic development said Wednesday. Ambassador Timothy Carney told a radio that the US policy to exclude Iraqis from governing the country in the two years following the invasion was "an enormous foolishness" which contributed to the deterioration of security and lengthened the conflict in the country. "We don't need to go into detail on that, but I think words such as incompetent, foolish, dubious in all of its aspects are the most charitable way to look at that period," he said. Carney went to Iraq shortly after the March 2003 invasion to manage the country's industry and minerals ministry, but quit after two months and became an outspoken critic of US occupation policy.

"The major failing of policy and operations in 2003 was the failure to invite Iraqis into our councils. We actually thought we could govern this country," he said. "It was enormously costly in terms of time, and consequently in terms of our and Iraqi blood and the blood of many of our allies. What an enormous foolishness that was." Carney, recently named by the White House to return to oversee rebuilding of the country, said he was appalled by the deterioration in the security situation since he was first there.

US Mujahideen suspect Padilla ruled fit to stand trial A US judge ruled Wednesday that US terror suspect Jose Padilla was fit to stand trial, rejecting defense arguments that he was too traumatized by his treatment at a military prison to be tried. "He is competent to stand trial," federal Judge Marcia Cooke said in her ruling, following a competency hearing in Miami. "Determining he is suffering from a mental defect does not render him incompetent," the judge said. The defense team had argued that Padilla's treatment during the three and a half years he spent in a naval prison had left him so traumatized he is unable to assist his lawyers. Padilla, a former Chicago gang member who converted to Islam, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he aided the Al-Qaeda Mujahideen network. Padilla's lawyers claim their client was tortured during his 2002-2005 imprisonment in the naval brig, and that his treatment traumatized him so much that he was could not assist in his own defense.

U.S. Blasted for Treatment of Detainees The U.N. human rights chief expressed concern Wednesday at recent U.S. legislative and judicial actions that she said leave hundreds of detainees without any way to challenge their indefinite imprisonment. According to news sources, Louise Arbour referred to the Military Commissions Act approved by Congress last year and last month's federal appeals court ruling that Guantanamo Bay detainees cannot use the U.S. court system to challenge their detention. The case is likely to go to the Supreme Court. Arbour was critical of the ruling, calling on the judicial system to "rise to its long-standing reputation as a so-called guardian of fundamental human rights and civil liberties and provide the protection to all that are under the authority, control, and therefore in my view jurisdiction of the United States."
