  • Hello,’ they lied: Can we all say: "Impeachment?"

    ’Hello,’ they lied Filed under: Constructive Criticism - MrBogle @ 7:41 pm
    Remember the good old days when, if our government made a mistake, it readily admitted it? Naaah, me neither. I am, however, always awestruck by the way members of this Administration can stare into a TV camera and consistently lie through their teeth. It’s a talent they’ve elevated into an art form of the caliber not seen since "Hogan’s Heroes"- Sergeant Shultz uttered the immortal line: "I know nussing! NUSSING!" (…)

    Compiled by "Son of a Bush" 1) The now famous Downing Street Memo, along with the testimony of former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neil constitute direct evidence of a decision by Bush to invade a sovereign foreign nation on entirely specious grounds.
    2) The decision to deploy chemical weapons in Fallujah came from Rumsfeld who no doubt covered his ass by receiving assent from Bush to use these banned weapons
    3) The decision by Bush to dig up dirt on UN diplomats when the General Assembly (…)

    Sher Zieve - The Conservative Voice June 3, 2005
    We carry the following report but caution against taking it at face value. It is still unconfirmed and we suspect that it may be disinformation intended to discredit those media outlets, like this one, that carry it. One way or the other, we should know in the next few days. Ed.
    John Kerry announced Thursday that he intends to present Congress with The Downing Street Memo, reported by the London Times 1 May 2005. As reported by NewsMax, (…)

    The Bush Administration Was For Amnesty International Before It Was Against It
    Tonight, Vice President Cheney will appear on CNN’s Larry King Live and reportedly condemn a recent Amnesty International report that faults the U.S. for its treatment of detainees in the war on terror. Cheney has said:
    For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don’t take them seriously.
    Other Administration officials have similarly (…)

    USA: Response to President Bush
    President Bush again failed to address longstanding concerns regarding US detention policies and practices in the context of the "war on terror", Amnesty International said in response to his comments today.
    At Guantánamo, the US has operated an isolated prison camp in which people are confined arbitrarily, held virtually incommunicado, without charge, trial or access to due process. (…)

  • IS ANYONE OUT THERE LISTENING?

    Maybe that’s the wrong question. Maybe I should ask if anyone out there is SCREAMING! I know I am, and I’m ready to blow.
    The corporate media are the common enemy of the American people and they have to be treated as such. They have to be made to feel the anger of the public. They have to be made to feel ashamed of what they are doing.
    The man holding the news conference used that phrase again, the one about our winning in Iraq, and they let him get away with it. The pseudo journalists (…)

    STRATEGY SESSION: for when you call your Congressperson/Senator, who may have voted for the IWR, and, having done so, may be too fearful or ashamed to admit he or she made a mistake... MAYBE all they’re looking for is a graceful way out...
    Please consider planting this seed.
    Please hear me out -
    ALL they have to say is TEN WORDS: "Because I TRUSTED my president. And he LIED to me."
    Two little sentences. Five words per sentence. That’s ALL any of them have to say, if they voted for (…)

  • WHY RUMSFELD SHOULD GO
    4 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By William Fisher
    Let’s give Donald Rumsfeld the benefit of the doubt. He’s not a war criminal. He never wrote any memo authorizing specific techniques for abusing prisoners. He doesn’t believe in abusing people. He’s an amusing guy. He used to be a media superstar in the Bush family firmament. The President called him the best Secretary of Defense in our country’s history.
    But it’s time for him to go. And here’s why.
    One of the principal reasons the United States has a Secretary of (…)

  • Israel tit-for-tat death claims
    4 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Two Israeli soldiers have alleged that they were ordered to carry out revenge attacks on Palestinian police after six of their comrades were killed.
    The unnamed soldiers made the charges, which relate to events three years ago, to an organisation which gathers evidence on Israeli army abuses.
    At least 15 Palestinians were killed in response to the troops’ deaths.
    The Israeli army said it had targeted policemen who actively assisted militants in carrying out killings.
    But it is not (…)
