Islam & the West: The Cult of Cruelty
In the week that George W Bush took to fantasising that his blood-soaked
'war on terror' would lead the 21st century into a 'shining age of human
liberty' I went through my mail bag to find a frightening letter
addressed to me by an American veteran whose son is serving as a
lieutenant colonel and medical doctor with US forces in Baghdad.
Put simply, my American friend believes the change of military creed
under the Bush Administration - from that of 'soldier' to that of
'warrior' - is encouraging American troops to commit atrocities.
>From Abu Ghraib to Guantánamo Bay to Bagram, to the battlefields of
Iraq, and to the 'black' prisons of the CIA, humiliation and beatings,
rape, anal rape and murder have now become so commonplace that each new
outrage is creeping into the inside pages of our newspapers.

9/11 : CIA Mole Killed in Basra
Dead men don't talk and Omar al-Farouk is dead, so he won't be telling
us about his exploits as a CIA recruit.
As you may recall, Omar escaped from the Bagram torture center in
Afghanistan last year. How exactly a supposed high-ranking member of al-
Qaeda escaped-by picking locks and navigating a mine field-from a “high
value” military detention center was never explained, but the fact he
was a CIA asset may have had something to do with it. It is said al-
Farouk was a liaison between the al-Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan and
Jemaah Islamiyah in Indonesia.

Challenge to Mainstream Journalists: Dare to really investigate 9/11
I dare you to tackle 9/11. Come on. Too scared of losing your job?
Reputation, prestige, access? Stossel, Palast, Olbermann?? What the hell
are you so afraid of? You want fame, an eternal legacy? You want the
ultimate story? It's right in front of your nose. It's currently being
written by on a shoestring by Alex Jones, David Ray Griffin, Daniel
Hopsicker and other heroes who have the guts to risk everything for the
sake of truth, for our future as a nation.

Fascism the American Way
Tragically, the forces of avarice, militarism, nationalism, and lust for
power have all but extinguished the bright illumination cast by those
amongst the Founding Fathers who were deeply influenced by the Age of
Enlightenment. Despite its military and technological prowess, the
United States is awash in ignorance, superstition, repression, and fear
reminiscent of the Dark Ages.

Fear the October Surprise
It wasn't Adolph Hitler who paid the price for WW II and his illegal war

The United States Of Torture
The United States now presents itself as what amounts to the globe's
largest and most powerful rogue state—a nuclear-armed superpower capable
of projecting military force to the furthest corners of the earth,
acting utterly without legal or moral constraint whenever the president
proclaims it necessary.

Does America torture?
When Bush refuses to call his "alternative" methods torture, when he
wants to clarify "cruel" and "degrading" as allowing waterboarding, he
reminds me of what Humpty Dumpty told Alice in Wonderland: "When I use a
word, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

It’s been said the world has changed since 911. That’s true for our
government is indiscernible. It’s unrecognizable. It no longer adheres
to the principles of our founding papers. It no longer accepts The Bill
of Rights as the law of the land. No longer does it recognize treaties,

House OKs $70 Billion for Iraq, Afghanistan
Despite intense partisan divisions over the course of the Iraq war, the
House on Tuesday easily approved $70 billion more for military
operations there and in Afghanistan. Lawmakers also adopted a record
$448 billion budget for the Pentagon. The $70 billion for Iraq and
Afghanistan is a down payment on war costs the White House has estimated
will hit $110 billion for the budget year beginning October 1st.

BUSH MAY PROVIDE $2 BILLION OF TAXPAYER FUNDS TO PAY FOR ISRAEL'S
ILLEGAL WAR
YAAKOV KATZ, JERUSALEM POST - If Israel asks, the US would "seriously
consider" granting the Defense Ministry additional financial assistance
because of the huge expenses incurred during the war in Lebanon, a high-
ranking US diplomat revealed Wednesday. According to ministry
estimates, Israel spent close to NIS 30 billion on ammunition, fuel and
other expenses during the war. The defense establishment has already
asked the Treasury to be compensated for that amount. The US provides
Israel with military assistance of more than $2b annually. "A request
has not yet come," the US official said. "But we would consider it
seriously."

Losing a War, Winning a Police State
The downward spiral of the Iraq War and the worsening worldwide
terrorism threat are negatives only if one assumes that creating a more
peaceful and secure world was the original goal.
If the goal included changing the character of the United States as a
free and open society - and consolidating one-party Republican control
over the federal budget - then the administration's policies would seem
to be working like a charm.
In the United States, which Bush calls part of the "battlefield" in the
"global war on terror," fear has prompted millions of Americans to
surrender constitutional rights willingly and accept government
intrusions that would have been unthinkable before 9/11.

Copies of emails leaked to the Observer newspaper and Africa
Confidential, presumably by British diplomats or intelligence

in Somalia.
Washington is attempting to prop up the Transitional Federal Government

West tried to put together in 2004 is now based largely in the town of
Baidoa in opposition to the Islamic Courts Council based in Mogadishu,
which now controls the capital and much of the south of Somalia.

The five pillars of the U.S. military-industrial complex
In the 1920s, President Calvin Coolidge said, "the business of America
is business." Nowadays, it can be said that the arms industry and
permanent war have become a big part of American business, as the
offshoot of a well-entrenched military-industrial complex. This is a
development that previous American men of vision, men like President
George Washington and President Dwight Eisenhower, have warned against
as being intrinsically inimical to democracy and liberty. However, the
current Bush-Cheney administration is not afraid of such a development;
its principal members are part of it and are instead very busy promoting
it.
Wars, especially modern electronic wars, are very murderous, but they
are also synonymous with big cost-plus contracts, big profits and big
employment for those who produce the required military gear. Wars are
the paradise of profiteers.

AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER JOHN HOWARD LIES AGAIN TO THE AUSTRALIAN
PEOPLE
In an effort to position modern terrorism effecting Australia before
Australia's involvement in the invasion, and the resulting fiasco that
is the occupation or Iraq, he has stated that because the Bali bombings
happened before the invasion of Iraq, Australia's involvement could not
have been the reason why Australians were targeted at Bali. This is an
utter deceit.
