    by Anne Penketh

    60-year-old footage from Hiroshima and Nagasaki — suppressed and nearly destroyed by the U.S. — will finally be shown in America.
    By Greg Mitchell
    In the weeks following the atomic attacks on Japan almost 60 years ago, and then for decades afterward, the United States engaged in airtight suppression of all film shot in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the bombings. This included footage shot by U.S. military crews and Japanese newsreel teams. In addition, for many years all but a handful of (…)

    As the blood of US soldiers continues to drain into the hot sands of Iraq over the last several days with at least 27 US soldiers killed and the approval rating for his handling of the debacle in Iraq dropping to an all-time low of 38%, Mr. Bush commented from the comforts of his ranch in Crawford, Texas today, “We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq.”

    IRAQ WAR: WHEN WILL THE KILLING STOP? By Congressman Charles Rangel
    With the deaths of 21 Marines in two days this week, the body count of U.S. troops killed in Iraq rose dramatically to 1,815 and counting. Even as newspapers and TV stations broadcast the death toll, we were still counting on the churches, synagogues and mosques to show that they recognize the inhumanity of this immoral war.
    Aren’t there passages in the Bible, the Koran and the Torah which command that killing for a (…)

    By Nehemia Strasler
    Israel is a corrupt country, at least according to the accepted norms of the Western world, the latest World Bank report released this week concluded. On every count, we ranked worse than the average in the West. Israel is regarded as a state with an unstable regime, bloated bureaucracy, high levels of corruption in government, and a low rate of law enforcement.
    Israeli bureaucracy is notorious worldwide. International investors are prevented from investing here (…)

    Basic questions about bases By Ashraf Fahim
    Hardly a day has gone by in the past few weeks without a new press report detailing the US military’s plans to reduce its footprint in Iraq next year. First it was a leaked British memo saying that Britain would hand over southern Iraq to the Iraqis and the US would cut its troops in half.
