=== News Update === George Bush Knows Why They Hate Us Our government, media and schools start burnishing the false notion of American moral superiority into our brains at a very young age. There is a great body of evidence which obliterates the inane notion that the United States is a benevolent world leader. Despite the ready availability of contrary evidence, many Americans remain blind to the truth about our despised nation, and choose to believe the fairy tale version of truth, justice and the American Way. The sad reality is that America is an imperialistic, avaricious war machine ruled by the wealthy. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9696.htm http://snipurl.com/gs4r === Mosque chairman sparks fresh row : A Muslim leader says there are "similarities" between new powers to tackle Islamist extremism and Hitler's demonisation of the Jews. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/west_midlands/4126688.stm http://snipurl.com/gs5d === Hiroshima wasn't uniquely wicked. It was part of a policy for the mass killing of civilians At the time, there was little immediate sense that something utterly extraordinary had happened, or that life had changed for ever. After August 6 1945, popular newspapers wrote half nervously and half exultantly about the coming of the "atomic age", but the most widespread reaction was mere thankfulness that the war was over. http://www.guardian.co.uk/secondworldwar/story/0,14058,1543124,00.html === The bomb didn't win it The idea that it was militarily necessary to drop the atomic bomb in 1945 is now discredited. The first exhaustive examination of Japanese, Soviet and US archives, by Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, confirms the argument that Truman went ahead in order to get Japan to end the war quickly before the Soviet Union came into the Pacific war and demanded a say in Asia. http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1543754,00.html === Sixty years and 242,437 lives later, Hiroshima remembers As they lay dying amid the ruins of their city, the victims of the Hiroshima bomb craved one thing above all - water. Yesterday morning cups of water were brought as symbolic offerings as, 60 years to the day after the city was vapourised, Hiroshima remembered its dead. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1544096,00.html === I Have Seen Big Brother And He Is Us: Having been recently appointed Anti-Money Laundering Officer at my investment firm, I now have the official, government-sanctioned power to scrutinize our clients' account activity and report almost anything I deem "suspicious activity" to the federal government. Be worried, friends be very worried http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9695.htm http://snipurl.com/gs5y === Intelligence chiefs warn Blair of home-grown ' insurgency' Intelligence chiefs are warning Tony Blair that Britain faces a full-blown Islamist insurgency, sustained by thousands of young Muslim men with military training now resident in this country. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9697.htm http://snipurl.com/gs4t === West turns blind eye as police put Saddam's torturers back to work Posted Aug 7, 2005 09:26 AM PST - Category: TORTURE SCANDAL http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7374-1683578,00.html === A scholarly analysis of the Bush/Cheney indictment story The grand jury may have returned indictments or true bills through their own proactive and fully Constitutional power, as opposed to reacting to indictments or information presented by the prosecutor. http://citizenspook.blogspot.com/2005/08/treasongate-white-house-indicted-us.html === A look at how American troops are dying in Iraq Aug. 6 More than 1,820 American troops have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.

Knowing nuclear weapons are only as effective as their delivery systems, they have made sophisticated systems available to Israel. According to the Monterey Institute, as well as 50 Jericho 2 missiles targeted at the Middle East, Israel has also Ra'am planes (range 4,500km) and Shavit space launchers (4,800 km) that have the capability to strike targets in the EU, western Russia and north Africa, as well as central and south Asia. http://www.guardian.co.uk/letters/story/0,3604,1543614,00.html === Gunman's body to lie near his racist hero: The Jewish gunman who killed four Arabs last Thursday may be buried next to the killer he tried to emulate. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1544098,00.html http://snipurl.com/gs5q === Palestinian man shot dead by Israeli's in Rafah: Witnesses said the victim, unarmed, was shot outside his home as he was preparing to get married on Monday. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/042F0EC7-E3A6-4364-81AC-A5DD0E7FFF4C.htm http://snipurl.com/gs5i === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
