TO ALL BUT ESPECIALLY TO MUSLIMS: (please forward) Read between the lines on this article! I hate to say I told you so.. but I did say that Obama was NOT about to step down on terrorizing and illegally detaining Muslims! Don't feel bad... even the Habeas lawyers seemed to refuse to see this coming............. but as my old pal Woody Guthrie said...... "it twas so thin thet even one o' them ol politicians coulda seen r'aght through it.." Islamophobia in America, Stage II Obama to renew hunt for bin Laden 7 hours ago President-elect Barack Obama will renew the hunt for al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and plans to explore a more regional strategy to the war in Afghanistan, his national security advisers have told US media. The 47-year-old Democrat has also pledged to shut down the detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, a move Bush administration officials have said will be easier said than done. Speculation as to how America's first black president will tackle the grave challenges facing the nation is rife as he sets about forming his new administration. No Cabinet positions are expected to be announced before the end of the week, but some key White House posts could be filled. Mr Obama plans to intensify the US military and intelligence focus on both al Qaida and bin Laden after taking office on January 20, Obama advisers told the Washington Post. *While emphasising the importance of continuing US operations against Pakistan-based Taliban fighters who attack US forces in Afghanistan, the incoming administration also intends to remind Americans how the fight against Islamist extremists began with the September 11 terror attacks in 2001.* Referring to bin Laden, one adviser told the newspaper: "This is our enemy, and he should be our principal target." Mr Obama also said during the campaign that his administration would explore talks with countries such as Iran and Syria. Advisers said Mr Obama was open to supporting discussions between the Afghan government and "reconcilable" elements of the Taliban. Meanwhile, Mr Obama's advisers also said they were crafting plans to close the Guantanamo Bay prison and prosecute terrorism suspects in the US. Under the plan, some detainees would be released and others would be charged in US courts, where they would receive constitutional rights and open trials. -- Linda *http://freedetainees.org <http://freedetainees.org/> * --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bangla-vision" group.
