    Several British and US diplomats walked out in protest of Mahathir’s broadside against their countries in a speech at a national conference in Kuala Lumpur on human rights on Friday. Mahathir, who (…)

    PUTTING THE BLAME ON MAME
    By Peter Fredson
    September 8, 2005
    In a way, it’s amusing.
    Watching the Bush cabinet, sycophants and True Believers scurry madly to explain that Bush is not to blame for ANYTHING. It seems that the main object of the post-Katrina government effort is not to succor the victims, drain the water, or rebuild the city but to refurbish the image of immortal leader George W. Bush which has been tarnished by the fecal waters of the Gulf.
    All efforts are made to (…)

    JERUSALEM, July 11— Israel’s government will request $2.2 billion from the Bush administration to help pay for its planned evacuation of the Gaza Strip and four Jewish settlements in the northern West Bank later this summer, Israeli officials said Monday.
    The amount, which would be paid over three years, is equal to roughly one year’s worth of U.S. military assistance to Israel. It represents one of the largest one-time aid requests Israel has made to the (…)

    Israel has authorized construction of 117 homes in one of the West Bank’s largest settlements and approved preliminary plans for another 3,000 housing units there, officials said Tuesday.
    The decision came despite repeated U.S. appeals that Israel freeze settlement expansion and threatened to raise tensions with the United States just days before Prime Minister Ariel Sharon travels to New York to address the U.N. General Assembly. He is expected to meet with (…)

    Oil exports from Iraq’s northern fields were completely halted on Saturday following a rebel attack on a major pipeline west of the oil centre of Kirkuk, an Iraqi oil industry official said.
    "We have some interruption in the pipeline. There are no exports at all right now," the official said on condition of anonymity.
    He said he had "no idea" when exports might resume since the scale of the damage had not yet been assessed.
    An official in charge of oil installation protection said the (…)

    Israeli citizens that made their homes in the illegal (under international law) settlements in Gaza, are to receive between $200,000 - $300,000 each to relocate- paid for by US taxpayer dollars.
    "Settlers, who were encouraged by the Israeli government to move to settlements, are entitled to compensation," says Sarit Michaeli, spokesman for B’Tselem, the independent Israeli information centre for human rights in the occupied territories.
    Israel has negotiated a $2.2 billion dollar gift (…)

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — (OfficialWire) — 09/04/05 — In the words of Gomer Pyle-Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. Just Google the name [Safia Taleb al-Suhail] for news and you will discover that very few members, if any, of the so-called mainstream media consider this lady’s most recent quote newsworthy and frankly, that’s newsworthy to me.

    SPINNING IN CIRCLES
    By Peter Fredson
    A minor rant in the aftermath of Katrina
    September 4, 2005
    Coincidence? Just before the Twin Towers attack George W. Bush was on vacation, getting on with his life, cutting brush on his ranch. After the attack Bush was reading a kid’s book, got on a plane, headed for a bunker, then later stood on rubble with his arm around a fireman. For the next 2 years he made speeches about his heroic action in failing to recognize that terrorists would strike (…)
