    The largest dam in Iraq is at risk of an imminent collapse that could unleash a 20m (65ft) wave of water on Mosul, a city of 1.7m people, the US has warned.
    .......However, a $27m (£13m) US-funded reconstruction project to help shore up the dam has made little or no progress.

    Not Another Fake News Conference By David Glenn Cox
    White House Press Secretary Dana Perino promised reporters yet again that the staged news conference organized on Tuesday by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would not happen again, and said the White House would never employ such tactics at its own press briefings.
    That sure does sound nice, doesn’t it? Are you reassured? However this isn’t the first time that the administration has done this nor will it be the last. (…)

  • The Most Important Presentation to Date Regarding Our World: Seymour Hersh Amnesty International Lec
    31 October 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    The following video/audio presentation is the most important talk given to date regarding the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the impending attack on Iran by the United States. It is a must see for anyone that wants to know what is happening in the Middle East, what World War III will look like, the complete hell that the 1.5 million American soldiers that have been involved in the Iraq war have had to live through and in what condition they are returning to the United States, how (…)

  • Hillary Falls Flat on Her Face

    Supported by a mysteriously high level of support, while dodging and weaving around softball interchanges for years, Hillary Clinton’s teflon finally wore off last night during the MSNBC debate when she met her match. Finally, what many of us have been waiting to see: Her insubstantial character, her grossly inflated "35-year record of accomplishment." And her legislative initiatives and non-binding resolutions were sufficiently deconstructed until none of the best image makers in the world (…)

    Former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld fled France today fearing arrest over charges of "ordering and authorizing" torture of detainees at both the American-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the U.S. military’s detainment facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, unconfirmed reports coming from Paris suggest.
    U.S. embassy officials whisked Rumsfeld away yesterday from a breakfast meeting in Paris organized by the Foreign Policy magazine after human rights groups filed a criminal complaint (…)

    FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds: ’I Will Tell All, & Name (new) Names’
    Let Sibel Edmonds Speak. Former FBI translator and whistleblower Sibel Edmonds has promised to tell us everything she knows about treason at the highest level of the US government - with one proviso:
    "Here’s my promise to the American Public: If anyone of the major networks --- ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX --- promise to air the entire segment, without editing, I promise to tell them everything that I know." (…)

  • Myanmar: Washington’s geopolitics and the Straits of Malacca
    29 October 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Sara Flounders
    Attempting to understand George W. Bush’s concern for the people of Myanmar means looking beyond his statements at the U.N. General Assembly that “Americans are outraged by the situation in Burma” and that attempting to impose a new round of economic sanctions is because he “only desires peaceful change in Burma.”

    A Mother’s View By Susan Handle Terbay of Dayton, Ohio
    Over four years ago when the President decided it was more important to invade Iraq than it was to pursue the group that attacked us on 9/11. I spoke out about it. I couldn’t grasp the whole meaning of attacking a nation that didn’t attack us and nothing and no one convinced me that was a good idea. Unfortunately my son was called up to go and help invade the country of Iraq. And I held my breath and prayed so hard that this was (…)

    Peace from Christian or Islam? Give me Freethought!
    (OKLAHOMA CITY) In regard to the "Islaming" of Oklahoma and the dust-up over competing religious superstitions I have to say that Islam is no more a religion of peace than Christianity is.
    A semi-government Oklahoma Commission composed mainly of Islamic followers has recently tried to give decorated copies of the koran to Oklahoma’s legislators. A number of them have refused their copy fearing that such a gift would dim their x-tian (…)

  • Ties with Terror

    Cold War Creature
    Most of us recall that Osama bin Laden is a creation of the CIA. He was employed as a key player in the Afghan war against Soviet occupation. Under his CIA contract, and backed by Saudi finances and Pakistani military intelligence, he built the multi-million dollar CIA-financed underground Tora Bora tunnel complex “to serve as a major arms storage depot, training facility and medical center for the Mujaheddin, deep under the mountains close to the Pakistan border."1 (…)
