    EU-USA: Rendition and removing refugees raise the same issue: Censored document reveals increased transit facilities for the USA to use EU airports to move people around the world
    There has been an informal agreement between the EU and the USA that flights to and from the USA can stop-over in transit at EU airports since around 1998 (see EU docs no: 13554/97 and 6541/1/98). The USA requested these "facilities" into order to send people back to Africa, the Middle East and Asia. No figures (…)

  • EU concealed deal with US to allow ’rendition’ flights
    18 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Justin Stares in Brussels and Philip Sherwell in Washington (Filed: 11/12/2005)
    The European Union secretly allowed the United States to use transit facilities on European soil to transport "criminals" in 2003, according to a previously unpublished document. The revelation contradicts repeated EU denials that it knew of "rendition" flights by the CIA.
    The EU agreed to give America access to facilities - presumably airports - in confidential talks in Athens during which the war on (…)

    (Berkeley, California) - December 18, 2005 - Well, what do you know about that?
    Bush’s radio speech Saturday, December 17, 2005, of course. It will be proclaimed as the same thing of one of the moves Hitler made in Germany to strengthen corporatist Nazi Germany. Yes, it is that big of a deal.
    We [Leftists] have all said, time and time again, that "someone" has to tell the people, or we will be (…)

    What more does anyone need? You do not negotiate with the devil. If the U.S. won’t act, maybe the world court will indict this rogue administration for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and violation of human rights and the Geneva Convention. How low can this country go? Feingold, time for full-court press. johnnybgood

    –
    At the outset of Bush’s second term, Vice President Dick Cheney dropped a bombshell. He hinted, in no uncertain terms, that Iran was "right at the top of the list" of the rogue enemies of America, and that Israel would, so to speak, "be doing the bombing for us", without US military involvement and without us putting pressure on them "to do it":
    "One of the concerns people have is that Israel might do it without being asked... Given the fact that Iran has a stated policy that (…)

    George Bush Is the Law
    By Peter Fredson
    December 17, 2005
    For several years when I looked at the daily news I was shocked by the arrogance and egomaniacal activity of George W. Bush. Almost daily he would commit some outrage against American values, democracy, freedom, civil rights, or Constitutional protections.
    All this is done under the guise of protecting Americans from Terrorists. All this is done under constant references to 9/11 which supposedly give GWB some (…)

  • Veterans Affairs loses $1.5 Billion, More Cuts in Care for Soldiers

    At $19.8 billion, the VA healthcare budget is just 2.6 per cent larger than last fiscal year. This figure is immediately turned into a negative. Inflation in the healthcare sector supplying goods and services to the VA has averaged 5.6 per cent per year for the last five years. The negative becomes larger when we factor in a 3.1 per cent pay raise for VA employees.

    December 13, 2005 By Kelly Kennedy, Army Times staff writer [Excerpts]
    After re-enlisting during his second tour in Iraq but not receiving a promised $15,000 re-up bonus, Sgt. 1st Class Carl Latson says he won’t re-enlist ever again.
    In January, the Spanaway, Wash., soldier signed a six-year contract that was supposed to get him a $15,000 bonus - tax-free, since he signed up in the war zone. But when his 13th year of service ended in March, the check never made it to the bank.
    Latson’s (…)

  • Iraqi Election Confusion

    I don’t understand. I’m confused. The US is occupying Iraq, but they let the Iraqis vote in the election. I thought the Americans were there to kill Iraqis, not let them vote.
    I thought the US was in Iraq to steal all the oil. But if the Iraqis elect their own sovereign government, doesn’t that mean they will control Iraqi oil and not the US?
    I though the war in Iraq was a war against Islam. But it appears that all the candidates and political parties are Muslim, not Christian or Jewish. (…)
