    By Nicola Nasser*
    Tehran for the first time and at the highest level has this week went public on the so far taboo Sunni-Shiite divide, accused the American Great Satan of exploiting and fuelling the historic Islamic sectarian tragedy, which is true, but offered no way out of the divide except a verbal call for unity, which has to be tested against the Iranian policies on the ground in Iraq, where the Iranian call can make or break.

    by Rory McCarthy
    Doctors in Gaza have reported previously unseen injuries from Israeli weapons that cause severe burning and deep internal wounds often resulting in amputations or death.
    The injuries were first seen in July, when the Israeli military launched a series of operations in Gaza following the capture of an Israeli soldier by Palestinian militants.
    Doctors said that, unlike traditional combat injuries from shells or bullets, there were no large shrapnel pieces found in the (…)

    Congressman, Tim Bishop: “Why Fear a Trial?”
    By Mary MacElveen
    October 17, 2006
    As I attended a debate between Congressman Tim Bishop (D 1st Cong. District, NY) and his Republican challenger, Italo Zanzi: when both were asked of the detainee bill recently approved by Congress which will be signed by Bush today, this is what candidate Zanzi stated that he “doesn’t believe Bush can claim anyone as a terrorist.”
    As I read some of contents of this detainee bill which is called ‘Military (…)

    Fear for an individual’s personal security common to a people whose leaders are taking their nation down the road to dictatorship has begun to grip America.

    We are the dead.
    We are every man, woman and child who has perished by violence, disease, accident or natural causes since our country was invaded and occupied by the powerful and invinceable Coalition armies of shock and awe.
    We’ve been bombed, sniped, beaten and tortured. We’ve suffered from chemical and depleted uranium poisoning...and our progeny,too, who otherwise would have had chances at a meaningful and constructive lives, will also suffer, if in fact they survive.

    "...this money travels. And you start trying to go to the root of it and it’s getting into somebody’s political campaign, and somebody’s lobbying. And people don’t want to be traced back to this money. Once this issue gets to be investigated, you will be seeing certain [American] people that we know from this country standing trial; and they will be prosecuted criminally." (Sibel Edmonds, (…)

    The Mettle of A UN Secretary-General - by Stephen Lendman
    UN Secretaries-General aren’t usually made of the kind of mettle that extends beyond their willingness to serve the interests of the dominant country that effectively runs the UN establishment. It’s no secret that the world body is largely a wholly owned subsidiary of the nation where it’s been prominently headquartered on Manhattan’s east side since 1952. It’s also true no candidate gets the top job there without first passing a (…)
