Is this why El-Baradei was awarded the Noble Prize for Peace?
Mr. Mohammad El-Baradei (IAEA Chief) expresses strong sympathy and understanding with and for Israel (which is, in the first place, a racist thug state, violating all aspects and standards of International Law and Geneva Conventions, and Human Rights), over Iran's ASSUMED nuclear weapons.

9/11: What happens when a large airplane slams into a tall building?
Firefighters managed to put out the fire in the building, which was damaged and charred but still standing. Police cordoned the building and debris field, preventing journalists and a crowd of as many as 10,000 people from getting close to the site. Many in the crowd were screaming, afraid their relatives had been killed. Several hours after the crash, the building still was smoldering.

Why is the US media not in front of their cameras calling Bush a butcher?
The United States of America has forever pointed finger at China and indeed at all of our Asian countries and ever so self-righteously accuse these most decent nations of torture when, in fact, it is the United States of America that is the most heinous of all torturers.

US torture flights: extraordinary and unacceptable
Condoleezza Rice does not seem prepared to explain very much when she meets European leaders facing mounting pressure about the US policy of "extraordinary rendition" - flying terrorist suspects round the world to secret jails where they are allegedly tortured beyond the reach of any legal system. Broadly speaking, the message from the secretary of state as she embarked on her trip to Berlin, Brussels and points east yesterday was a blunt "trust and cooperate" on the basis that we are all in the same boat in the "war on terror".

If it's not torture, then it's OK to use it on Cheney
Perhaps the Justice Department could use this to speed up some investigations that are taking forever. How about that two-year investigation into who leaked Valerie Plame's CIA status? Stick Karl Rove on the water board and we can see who really leaked what in just a couple of minutes. That would be fair, wouldn't it? After all, his boss says it's not torture, right?

What ?Peace? Really Means to Israelis
When Israelis engage in ?peace talks? it is important to understand their basic position. They have no real interest in a solution that goes to the core of their problem. They are like an individual who wants his or her symptoms to go away but refuses to do anything about their real causes. A wish ?to be left alone? is not much of a basis for a sustainable peace, at least not without another act of ethnic cleansing. Six million Palestinians are there to remind Israel of its past, and they are not going anywhere.

Zia ul-Haq Mossad Hit is Non-News in America
John Gunther Dean, former US ambassador to India, suspects Mossad of assassinating Pakistan?s General Muhammad Zia ul-Haq and yet this is not considered a news item in the United States.

FLASHBACK: Israel?s Failed Assassination Attempt on U.S. Ambassador Documented
Had Mossad, Israel?s secret intelligence organization, succeeded, it would have been the perfect crime?the crime of the century. The plan was breathtaking in concept: to assassinate the American ambassador to Lebanon, in Lebanon, with American weapons, intended for Israeli?s defense only. Everything about it would point to Lebanon as the culprit.
