    Saturday 17 September 2005, 8:12 Makka Time, 5:12 GMT Al-Kalesi said al-Zarqawi was killed in Iraq’s Kurdish region
    Al-Qaida’s leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead but Washington continues to use him as a bogeyman to justify a prolonged military occupation, an Iraqi Shia cleric says in an interview.
    Sheikh Jawad al-Kalesi, the imam of the al-Kadhimiyah mosque in Baghdad, told France’s Le Monde newspaper on Friday: "I don’t think that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi exists as such. He’s (…)

  • 75,000 Body Bags Purchased For New Orleans

    By Lynn Landes
    Questions mount over Hurricane Katrina’s death count. Estimates are now well below 10,000 with the death toll currently standing at 648 for Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida. So, why did the Bush Administration order 75,000 body bags?
    Along that line, other things don’t add up. For instance, why did FEMA contact a crematorium in the local area; how could people identify their loved ones if only ashes remain? Why did FEMA rebuff efforts of volunteer morticians? Why did (…)

    Mississippi Delta Disaster: The Absence of a Viable Opposition in America No Direction Home
    September 10, 2005 Moscow Times
    Let’s be clear about one thing. Nothing that happened last week — the mass destruction in the Mississippi Delta, the obliteration of the city of New Orleans, the murderous abandonment of thousands of people to death, chaos and disease — will change the Bush Administration or American politics at all. Not one whit. President George W. Bush will not reverse his brutal (…)

    Former 9-11 commissioner Timothy Roemer avoided answering questions, running like a scared rabbit when confronted by William Rodriguez, the WTC custodian who wanted to know why his dissenting testimony was omitted in the final report, during a rally marking the fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
    “The 9-11 truth will be told. Bush and Cheney will be indicted for treason and murder. And immediately . . .the killing and illegal war in Iraq [will be stopped].”
    These were the strong (…)

    Recently I was studying some television news video which was broadcast in May 2004, after the beheading of Nick Berg. Greta Van Susterin of Fox News asked a good question when she wondered why Berg, who had attended Ivy League schools, would decide to enroll at the less distinguished University of Oklahoma. She was interviewing William Brunch, who did not have much of an answer. He described Berg as an "idealistic" and "eccentric" young man who "wanted to travel." He concluded, "We’re not (…)

    September 20, 2005
    (Angus Reid Global Scan) - Many adults in the United States think George W. Bush has not formulated an explicit strategy for bringing an end to the coalition effort in Iraq, according to a poll by the New York Times and CBS News. 72 per cent of respondents believe their president has not developed a clear plan for getting American troops out of Iraq.
    The coalition effort against Saddam Hussein’s regime was launched in March 2003. At least 1,899 American soldiers have (…)

    CINDY SHEEHAN’S decision to camp outside Bush’s ranch until he agrees to meet with her has brought new energy and focus to what had been a fairly invisible antiwar movement. As the Washington Post reported, “Sheehan’s case has echoed as her grievances merged with what polls show is growing dissatisfaction with the war.”
    The timing of her vigil couldn’t have been better chosen.
    As the resistance continues unchecked in Iraq, and we approach another false turning point-this time, a new (…)

    Havana, (AIN) Cuba maintains the offer of medical aid to the victims of hurricaneKatrina, repeated Cuban President Fidel Castro.
    Fidel explained that Cuba was not offering money, but saving lives, and even though the American authorities have not answered Cuba’s action of solidarity, the Cuban doctors are ready to help the people of that country and any other country that needs it.
