  • Green Party’s Kevin Zeese Has New Approach
    16 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Baltimore, MD - On a brutal night, Dec. 14, 2005, where the temperature hovered around the ultra-freezing 15 degree mark, the Green Party’s candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, Kevin Zeese, was out on the campaign trail delivering his “for the people” message. He spoke at the “All People’s Congress” hall, which is located about a half mile from the now-razed Memorial Stadium, where the sports notables of yesteryear, like John Unitas, Lenny Moore, Brooks and Frank Robinson, once played. (…)

    CIA has documented every use of its exclusive ’enhanced interrogation techniques’
    Nothing in the [Geneva] Conventions [on the treatment of prisoners of war] precludes directed interrogations. They do, however, prohibit torture and humiliation of detainees, whether or not they are deemed P.O.W.’s. These are standards that are never obsolete-they cut to the heart of how moral people must treat other human beings. John McCain , in Torture: A Human Rights Perspective, edited by Kenneth Roth (…)

  • Suspected Terrorists Held 4 Years, Not Questioned Even Once

    Four men deprived of their liberty for four years on suspicion of being international terrorists disclose today that they have not once been questioned by police or security services since being arrested.
    The four, who were among 16 suspects detained without trial under post-11 September terror legislation, later overturned by the law lords, give harrowing accounts of the treatment they have suffered. All are now under virtual house arrest. Although three face deportation, The Independent (…)

    THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME YOU WILL SEE THIS PROOF — BUT NOT THE LAST.......The meeting gave the US permission for "renditions" — kidnapping Muslims off the streets of Europe — and CIA flights to take them to prison without trial (and, it turns out, to torture). I’ll quote from an EU-US meeting and show you the web link, you judge. Here’s the link: Furthermore, the US has secret CTICs — joint-venture spy nests — in over 25 countries! Condoleeza Rice is right, Gerhard Schroeder is (…)

    This is an excerpt, full article follows
    A document obtained by Knight Ridder appears to reveal the existence of an Interior Ministry death squad.
    A memo written by an Iraqi general in the ministry operations room and addressed to the minister’s office says on its subject line: "Names of detainees." It lists 14 men who were taken from Iskan, a Sunni neighborhood in western Baghdad, during the early morning hours of Aug. 18. It also marks the time of their detention: 5:15 a.m.

    Does secretary of state think anyone is buying her spiel, asks Maureen Dowd
    by Maureen Dowd
    Our secretary of state’s tortuous defence of supposedly non-existent CIA torture chambers in Eastern Europe was an acid flashback to Clintonian parsing.
    Just as Bill Clinton pranced around questions about marijuana use at Oxford during the ’92 campaign by saying he had never broken the laws of his country, so Condoleezza Rice pranced around questions about outsourcing torture by suggesting that (…)

  • ’Never Before!’ Our Amnesiac Torture Debate

    by Naomi Klein
    It was the "Mission Accomplished" of George W. Bush’s second term, and an announcement of that magnitude called for a suitably dramatic location. But what was the right backdrop for the infamous "We do not torture" declaration? With characteristic audacity, the Bush team settled on downtown Panama City.
    It was certainly bold. An hour and a half’s drive from where Bush stood, the US military ran the notorious School of the Americas from 1946 to 1984, a sinister educational (…)

    Rhetorical Questions about Lies and Torture
    By Peter Fredson
    December 11, 2005
    Today a news headline stated:
    “NATO CHIEF: RICE ’CLEARED THE AIR’ ON DETAINEE CHARGES”
    The main story was a simple assertion: “Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has briefed NATO and European Union colleagues on the Bush administration response to allegations the CIA has abused terrorism suspects and had secret detention sites in Europe. NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer says Ms. Rice’s (…)

    STICK TO A GOOD LIE
    By Peter Fredson
    December 10, 2005
    Condi Rice, Bush’s attack dog, the Black Angel of Death, has been high-stepping around Europe lately with the fancy shoes that she bought as Katrina killed many people. I’m surprised she doesn’t wear hip-height rubber boots to wade knee-deep in all the crap she is spreading on European leaders. But she finds time to lecture Syria and Iran and constantly threaten them because that was the neocons plan years ago. She also, following (…)

    US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice may have left Berlin, but her visit has left all sorts of bad tastes in the mouths of Germans. Nobody seems terribly convinced by her claim that America doesn’t torture. And what is "torture" anyway?
    US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice may have left Berlin, but her lightening visit on Tuesday is still splashed across the headlines on Wednesday. Nobody, of course, expected the issues raised by Rice’s visit to disappear as soon as (…)
