    18 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Fifteen years ago, and exactly on 13 Feb. 1991, USA air forces bombed civilian shelter in Baghdad.

The bombing was deliberate since, two special rockets were used; one made an opening in the reinforced concrete ceiling while the other penetrated through to give huge amount of fire into the shelter. The results was the brutal killing of about (…)

    Pictures of Iraqi prisoners-naked, wounded, covered with blood, women’s underwear draped over their heads, bound in painful and degrading “stress positions”-were broadcast on Australian television Wednesday, further exposing the horrors inflicted at the US military’s prison camp at Abu Ghraib and similar facilities across the globe.
    The photographs, which also included images of battered and bloodied corpses, were apparently taken about the same time as those that (…)

    KEWAUNEE, Wis. - Peace activist Jill Bussiere wants the United States to bring its troops home from Iraq immediately, so she went door-to-door in this community in the hopes of getting others to join her cause.
    Bussiere helped organize a petition drive that resulted in a referendum on Iraq being put on the ballot during Kewaunee’s upcoming spring election. It asks whether the city’s leaders should urge the U.S. to begin (…)

    As a numerologist I notice certain numbers and codes immediately and research often leads me to surprising disclosures. Nevertheless, certain codes are revealed only when the time is right and afterwards I can ask myself why I haven’t seen it before, but I think it simply wasn’t passed to me. This certainly happened with the following code that I myself find startling.
    It’s about the Hebrew Era that I (…)

    Maybe Dick Cheney can’t shoot straight, but at least he didn’t shoot himself in the face. Sadly, you can’t say the same for the leadership of the Democratic party.
    Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid and Rahm Emanuel have not only strong-armed Iraq War vet Paul Hackett out of the Ohio senate race, but out of politics altogether.
    And for what? To give Eagle Scout Sherrod Brown a clear shot at the Senate?!
    Yes. OK. A messy primary is less than ideal as a precursor to a (…)

  • "Support Our Troops": GOP Words v. Actions
    17 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Linda Barney Burke
    America’s military strongly leans Republican, with President Bush winning a 57 to 41 percent majority of the veterans’ vote in 2004.
    But how well do Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress really support our troops, especially those returning from America’s wars?
    "We have a responsibility to our men and women in uniform, who deserve to know that once our politicians vote to send them into harm’s way, our support will be with them in good days and in bad days," (…)

    Ewen MacAskill and Julian Borger in Washington
    The Bush administration made an emergency request to Congress yesterday for a seven-fold increase in funding to mount the biggest ever propaganda campaign against the Tehran government, in a further sign of the worsening crisis between Iran and the west.
    Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, said the $75m (£43m) in extra funds, on top of (…)

    Most of you will have read Would Sumate stand by and allow their fellow citizens to be contaminated? and, if you have not, I strongly urge you to do so. In this piece I wrote in great detail concerning the effects of depleted uranium and the devastating effects it has on American soldiers as well as innocent civilians.
    I do not only mention Iraq, but other countries as well where this deadly weapon has been used.

    by Jeremy Scahill CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr should be given some kind of award for the most outrageously off-target reporting on the newly released photos and videos of U.S. torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. In her numerous appearances during the morning news cycle on CNN after the images were first broadcast on Australia’s SBS television, Starr described what she saw as the "root of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal" as such:
