the recent Majlis (parliament) statement to brand the U.S. army and

"I hate all Iranians," Bush aide tells members of British Parliament
29 Sep 2007
British MPs visiting the Pentagon to discuss America's stance on
Iran and Iraq were shocked to be told by one of President Bush's
foreign policy advisers: "I hate all Iranians." And she also
accused Britain of "dismantling" the Anglo-US-led coalition in Iraq
by pulling troops out of Basra too soon.
The all-party group of MPs say Debra Cagan, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Coalition Affairs to Defence Secretary Robert Gates,
made the comments this month.
Taliban reject overture from Kabul's government, wants Afghanistan
back
30 Sep 2007
The Taliban will "never" negotiate with the Afghan authorities
until U.S. and NATO forces leave the country, a spokesman for the
group said Sunday, again rebuffing an overture for peace talks from
President Hamid Karzai.
Karzai said that he would be willing to meet personally with the
Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, and give militants a position in the
government in exchange for peace.
Oops! Bin Laden escaped U.S. forces (again)
August mission in Tora Bora almost snared 'high value target'
26 Sep 2007
For three days and nights — between Aug. 14 and 16 — U.S. and
Afghanistan forces pounded the mountain caves in Tora Bora, the
same caves where 'Osama Bin Laden' had hidden out and then fled in
late 2001...
Ultimately, however, U.S. forces failed to find Bin Laden or his
deputy, Ayman al Zawahiri, even though their attacks left dozens of
al Qaeda and Taliban [civilians] dead. ...
With intelligence limited on who was there, no one is willing to
say that the lack of key units permitted Bin Laden or Zawahiri to
escape.
Blackwater: "Rained Death From All Sides"
An extensive evidence file assembled by the Iraqi National Police
after the controversial Blackwater shooting suggests that the
private contractors opened fire unprovoked from the ground and the
sky.
30 Sep 2007
An extensive evidence file put together by the Iraqi National
Police and obtained by NEWSWEEK —including documents, maps, sworn
witness statements and police video footage— appears to contradict
the mercenaries’ version of events.
A confidential incident report, which has been provided by Iraqi
National Police investigators to American military and civilian
officials, concludes that the Blackwater vehicles "opened fire
randomly, without any reason."

on Terror"

and many other crimes, a Seattle P-I analysis has found.
Chicago "special-ops" cops lied, used torture, carried out mob-
style "hits"
30 Sep 2007
Videotapes of angry officers savagely beating civilians and charges
that a murder plot was hatched within an elite special operations
unit have Chicago's troubled police department reeling again.
Adding to the department's woes is word from federal prosecutors
that they are investigating claims that homicide detectives
tortured suspects into confessing to murders that landed them on
death row in the 1980s.
