  • He’s preparing to kill again! Will someone stop him?

    A letter recently leaked by a very senior civil servant, John Sawer, Political Director of the British Foreign Office, blows the whistle on the Bliar regime’s plans for manipulating the UN Security Council nations into paving the way for a war against Iran. The entire, macabre staging of events via the IAEA and the UNSC is, as a Russian diplomat described it in Geneva, déja vu.
    The letter Sawer has leaked reveals the intentions of the Foreign Office over the next few weeks to persuade both (…)

    PARIS-Interpol has removed Kosovo’s recently named prime minister from its list of wanted persons because of his new status, the international police agency said Friday, though Serbia still accuses him of war crimes.

    The Anglo-Americans want a Security Council resolution allowing for the eventual use of force. Iran must play its cards very carefully from now onwards.
    THIS WEEK, the fog of Anglo-American diplomacy on the Iranian nuclear question parted momentarily to give the world a rare glimpse of the drive to war that lies behind. On Wednesday, the Times of London reproduced a letter written last week by John Sawers, the British Foreign Office (…)

    Published on Friday, March 24, 2006 by the Los Angeles Times
    WASHINGTON - Even as military planners look to withdraw significant numbers of American troops from Iraq in the coming year, the Bush administration continues to request hundreds of millions of dollars for large bases there, raising concerns over whether they are intended as permanent sites for U.S. forces.
    Questions on Capitol Hill about the future of the bases have been prompted by the new emergency spending bill for military (…)

  • Israel’s Policy of Targeted Assassination No Immunity By MIKE WHITNEY (Couterpunch)

    Gangland violence is making us safer.
    That’s the message we hear today from Israel’s Defense Minister, Shaul Mofaz, who not only defended the practice of "targeted assassination" but threatened to use the controversial tactic against Palestine’s new Prime Minister-designate, Ismail Haniya.
    "We will continue the targeted killings at this pace," Mofaz stated. "No one will be immune."
    Mofaz’s comments were made in response to Israel’s air-strike against two Palestinian (…)

  • Rest Easy, Bill Clinton Slobo Can’t Talk Any More By JEREMY SCAHILL (Counterpunch)

    March 13, 2006
    Slobodan Milosevic is characterized in the obituaries as the "Butcher of the Balkans." If that is the story you want to read about, please go to almost any other media outlet and read it again and again. Some are now suggesting that death is Milosevic’s final revenge, that he "ended up cheating history" by dying before judgment was passed. But the world has already passed judgment on Milosevic and what is being cheated by his death is history itself.
    What the corporate (…)

    Arbil, Iraq.
    The US military is investigating two incidents in which American soldiers killed at least 26 Iraqi civilians and then claimed that they were either guerrillas or had died in cross fire.
    The growing evidence of retaliatory killings of unarmed Iraqi families, often including children, by US soldiers seemingly bent on punishing Iraqis after an attack, will spark comparisons with the massacre of Vietnamese villagers at My Lai in 1968.
    US troops have been (…)

  • I’ve got your "GOOD NEWS" right here, pal!

    George Dubya Bush has been lambasting the press for not focusing on good news in our endless "war on terror", particularly in Iraq.
    It’s high time we responded with some hopeful stories and became optimistic. Here are some examples of real progress I dug up just this week:
    In Ramadi, 6 bodies were found two days ago, bound and gagged and dead. BUT...the good news is that they hadn’t been tortured!
    7 new schools opened in just the last month, according to the Coalition assessments. That (…)
