  • Diabetes and Depleted Uranium - Italian Embassy Cover up Continues
    12 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    (San Francisco Bay View) Dr Mishra described June 29th to June 6 as "A week from Hell." International radiation expert Leuren Moret talked to Dr Mishra, a famous surgeon from India, the afternoon of July 7, 2006. Dr. Mishra’s report was grim. I had tried to reach him by phone and email for a week. I was concerned about his safety. On July 10 Dr Mishra stated "I will not be cowed down."
    Mishra reported "Threats at the hospital, three weird phone calls claiming ’we have you under (…)

  • John McCain: L’Enfant Terrible

    John McCain: L’Enfant Terrible Posted by SusanUnPC Sunday, 09 July 2006 at 12:39 We have one enfant terrible — envoy John Bolton — at the U.N. Then there’s the Senate’s petulant John McCain. Stories about the perennial presidential candidate’s "irrational, explosive" temper and ugly anger and "foul language" regularly circulate in Washington whispers and, now, in the MSM.
    I just sent this e-mail to Other Lisa, a regular here, who is something of an expert — compared to most Americans — (…)

    Thanks, George Bush And Joe Lieberman By SusanUnPC, Author, No Quarter Monday, 10 July 2006 at 12:22 Iraq is madness. In the thread below, we began discussing the NYT story, "Baghdad Erupts in Mob Violence," which also features an unforgettable, searing image of the raped and murdered 14-year-old Iraqi GIRL (not woman, as if that much-discussed debate point mattered). Now this from the LA Times today, described by a diarist at Daily Kos:
    "Confidential documents that were obtained by the (…)

    Was Bob Woodward Slam-Dunked? by Robert Parry July 11, 2006 One of the most memorable behind-the-scenes accounts of pre-Iraq War decision-making was Bob Woodward’s story of an Oval Office meeting on Dec. 21, 2002, when George W. Bush and his top advisers reviewed the CIA’s case against Saddam Hussein for supposedly hiding weapons of mass destruction. Using flip charts, deputy CIA director John McLaughlin presented the evidence while President Bush watched impatiently. When McLaughlin (…)

  • Afghanistan Is No One’s War
    11 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Afghanistan Is No One’s War By John Chuckman July 10, 2006 A summary of events leading to the invasion of Afghanistan is helpful. Following 9/11, the Taliban government said it would extradite Osama bin Laden if the U.S. could produce evidence against him. This is the approach taken by the courts of every Western country when extradition is requested.
    The U.S. either could not or would not produce any evidence, yet it insisted the Taliban was behaving in bad faith and harboring (…)

  • Condi Vs. The Truth
    11 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Condi Vs. The Truth By Gordon Prather July 10, 2006 One of the first things Condi Rice didn’t do as secretary of state was to address the 2005 Review Conference of the Treaty on Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons. She also didn’t allow the conclusions and commitments made at the 2000 NPT RevCon to even be discussed, much less reaffirmed.
    Instead, Condi sent Stephen Rademaker to inform the 2005 NPT conferees thusly:
    Britain, France and Germany, with our support, are seeking to reach a (…)

    The British Government have demanded that these documents be removed today so dahrjamailiraq may be the best mirror.)
    In publishing "Murder in Samarkand" I had wanted to publish the supporting documentation in the book to cooroborate my story, especially as the FCO is claiming that the story is essentially untrue. In that sense, perhaps the most interesting link (…)

    There is a belief that times of great evil have the capacity to shatter one’s faith or to enhance it, and perhaps at no time in a person’s or a nation’s life does this quandary arise more notably than in times of war
    Decades before Lord Acton wrote that "power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely," America’s founders recognized this tendency in human nature. To ensure (…)
