  • Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Soldiers
    17 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Soldiers By Cindy Sheehan July 13, 2006 As of today, the War Department lists 2544 as the number of murdered troops in Iraq. Dozens of innocent Iraqis are being killed due to this war crime every day. More than 80 Iraqis were killed in Baghdad alone on July 9th: dozens of people just in one city on one day who would be alive if not for BushCo.
    I don’t know what number Casey was. I have seen people say 614, I have seen people say 714. It doesn’t (…)

    17 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Fleeing China, Landing In Guantanamo By Hauke Goos July 14, 2006, 05:09 PM In 2000, five men left their homes in northern China to escape the prospect of torture and imprisonment. They dreamed of a future in the United States. Caught up in America’s war on terror along the way, they instead ended up in Guantanamo. It’s been six years since they last saw their families.
    They sit on their beds in a barracks on the outskirts of the city, waiting. The door is ajar, revealing a cloudless late (…)

    The Collapse Of Baghdad By Larry Johnson Saturday, 15 July 2006 at 12:51 The following is worth your time to read. Bush can continue to tout the "success" of Iraq, but the reality is something else:
    Baghdad starts to collapse as its people flee a life of death By James Hider, of The Times, from Baghdad
    As I hung up the phone, I wondered if I would ever see my friend Ali alive again.

  • Israel Takes A Stupid Pill

    Israel Takes A Stupid Pill By Larry C Johnson Saturday, 15 July 2006 at 13:53 Apparently not content to let the U.S. do a self-immolation act in the Middle East by itself, Israel decided to set itself on fire by invading Lebanon. Burn baby burn? Like George Bush, Israel’s Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, never served in a combat unit and launched military operations without thinking the matter through. In fact, Olmert reportedly never even served in the military. I raise this because (…)

  • We Need An Honest Debate On Iraq
    17 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    We Need An Honest Debate On Iraq By E.J. Dionne 7/16/2006 The most intellectually honest case for the war in Iraq was never about Saddam Hussein’s alleged weapons of mass destruction. It was the Big Bang Theory. Not to be confused with theories about the origins of the universe, the Middle East Big Bang idea was simple and seductive. Unlike other arguments for the war, it was based on some facts. The point was that the Middle East was a mess. A nest of authoritarian regimes bred (…)

    The Palestinian health ministry accused Israel of using a new type of banned explosives containing poisonous material.
    A ministry report released Monday said testimonies from surgeons in Palestinian hospitals indicated that "all 249 casualties inflicted by the Israeli war machine during the operation on Gaza which started on June 27 resulted from shrapnel of new and developed shells and explosives which cause amputation of limbs and burning of all the injured parts."
    The ministry called (…)

  • The Real Aim
    17 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Uri Avnery
    THE REAL aim is to change the regime in Lebanon and to install a puppet government.
    That was the aim of Ariel Sharon’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982. It failed. But Sharon and his pupils in the military and political leadership have never really given up on it.
    As in 1982, the present operation, too, was planned and is being carried out in full coordination with the US.
    As then, there is no doubt that it is coordinated with a part of the Lebanese elite.
    That’s the main (…)

    by Gilbert Achcar interviewed by Paola Mirenda
    Q. Since last Wednesday, the Israeli Army has been imposing a siege on Lebanon and bombarding the country as a result of the abduction of two of its soldiers and the killing of seven others by a Lebanese Hezbollah commando unit. Israel’s reaction was predictable, even in its disproportion. What are the political and strategic reasons that can be seen behind this action by Hezbollah?
    Achcar: The explanations that Hezbollah has given for its (…)

    Lebanon’s Al Manar TV Targeted Free Speech "Marked for Death" by Trish Schuh
    After years of asymmetric attacks on the First Amendment- assassinating journalists, surveilling dissent, and censoring the free flow of information- the Democracy Mukhabarat rules. Using national security to prohibit scrutiny or prosecution, the Bush administration instead labels opposition media as the criminal, declaring the Fourth Estate to be the Fourth Front. "Full spectrum information dominance" equates (…)
