New Halliburton waste alleged --Former company auditor: 'It's just a gravy train' --The Pentagon has already awarded Halliburton Co., the controversial military contractor, deals worth up to $18 billion for its' work' in Iraq. But now former Halliburton insiders have come forward with new allegations of massive waste of taxpayer money.
Underclass of Workers Created in Iraq --Many Foreign Laborers Receive Inferior Pay, Food and Shelter --The war in Iraq has been a windfall for Kellogg Brown & Root Inc., the company that has a multibillion-dollar contract to provide support services for U.S. troops. Its profits have come thanks to the hard work of people like Dharmapalan Ajayakumar, who until last month served as a kitchen helper at a military base...
Did Saddam Hussein Gas His Own People? Memo To: Sandy Berger, National Security Advisor From: Jude Wanniski Re: Iraqi use of Poison Gas (November 18, 1998) "To Senator Helms: ...You would agree, I think, that at the very least our State Department gave a 'green light' to Saddam Hussein to go into Kuwait in August 1990. The more I read of the events of the period, the more I believe history will record that the Gulf War was unnecessary, perhaps even that Saddam Hussein was willing to retreat back to his borders, but our government decided we preferred the war to the status quo ante... Iraqi Power and U.S. Security in the Middle East --Excerpt, Chapter 5 --U.S. SECURITY AND IRAQI POWER ...Having looked at all of the evidence that was available to us, we find it impossible to confirm the State Department’s claim that gas was used in this instance. To begin with there were never any victims produced. International relief organizations who examined the Kurds -- in Turkey where they had gone for asylum -- failed to discover any. Nor were there ever any found inside Iraq."
Iran: US control of Saddam's trial would ensure cover-up --International tribunal could expose former close ties with Iraq --"Americans handed over Saddam to an interim government, which they themselves have appointed to make sure the Iraqi court trying him would not examine any US involvement in his war against Iran," Mohammed Sadeq al-Husseini, an adviser to former Culture Minister Ayatollah Mohajerani, said from Tehran. "They are concerned that an international tribunal could expose close US relations with Iraq when Saddam was bombing Iran with chemical weapons," he added.
Born Under a Cloud of Irony --The new, free Iraq may officially be in the hands of a former terrorist. --by Robert Scheer "...[A]lthough the interim prime minister is a former member of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party who later conducted anti-Hussein terrorist operations on behalf of the CIA — operations in which innocent Iraqi civilians may have been killed — his anointment as leader of a 'free Iraq' is being hailed by President [sic] Bush as a great victory in the war on terror. According to several former intelligence officials interviewed by the New York Times this month, the political group run by interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi in the 1990s, but financed by the CIA, 'used car bombs and other explosive devices smuggled into Iraq' in an attempt to sabotage and destabilize Hussein's regime... In 1996, one of Allawi's top officers and his group's self-proclaimed chief bomb maker detailed the mechanics behind Allawi's murderous actions in a videotape subsequently obtained by a British newspaper, the Independent. On the tape he even expresses annoyance that the CIA had shortchanged him on one job, a car bombing, allegedly paying only half the agreed-upon amount."
Reports: Soldiers Charged in Iraqis Death --Four soldiers have been charged in the drowning death of an Iraqi forced to jump off a bridge in Samarra, north of Baghdad, according to media reports. The soldiers, all from Fort Carson, were reportedly part of a patrol that detained two Iraqi men in January and ordered them to jump off a bridge into the Tigris River.
Pentagon Alerted to Trouble in Ranks --Reports over a decade have warned of recruits with criminal pasts and of the violent behavior of some active-duty service members. The Pentagon was warned repeatedly going back a decade that it was accepting military recruits with criminal histories and was too lenient with those already in uniform who exhibited violent or other troubling behavior.
Blair shelves plans to send more troops to Iraq --Tony Blair has shelved plans to send more than 3,000 British troops to Iraq to deal with the expected upsurge in violence after the hand-over of power to the interim Iraq authority.
Poland says Iraq shells date to Iran war --The Polish military has said shells containing a chemical weapons agent found in Iraq date back to the Iran-Iraq war, Polish radio reported Friday. Polish radio said 17 rocket shells and two mortar shells had been found by Polish forces in late June.
Operation Summer Pulse --by Peter Vervoorn "Dick Cheney, the king of f*cked ducks, certainly seems to have lost his composure, as each US move on the Grand Chessboard leads further into the swamp." http://www.legitgov.org/essay_vervoorn_op_summer_pulse_070304.html
Pentagon Sends Americans Home From Bahrain --The Pentagon said Friday it is withdrawing service members' families and nonessential personnel from Bahrain for at least 30 days in response to information of planned 'terrorist' attacks in the tiny Persian Gulf nation.
US airports told to monitor Pakistanis --The US Department of Homeland Security has alerted six major airports in the United States to carefully monitor all travellers of Pakistani origin, including US citizens. The order was circulated through a DHS memo, warning airports in Washington, New York, New Jersey, Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles to look for Pakistani travellers with suspected links to 'terrorists.'
Petitions filed in US court demanding release of Guantanamo detainees --Lawyers filed habeas corpus petitions in a US federal court here demanding the immediate release of nine war-on-[of]terror detainees being held at a US Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the legal group representing them said.
Typical late-Friday-afternoon-shocker-on-a-holiday-weekend civil liberties horror story, which will be completely ignored by the Reichwing media whores: Lawsuit: Lawyer-Client Talks Were Taped --A group of Legal Aid lawyers has filed a lawsuit accusing a former federal warden and prison officers of secretly videotaping the lawyers' conversations with Arab and Muslim immigrants detained after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Oh, but another 9-11 'Oddity' Heightened Security Alert Had Just Been Lifted (September 12, 2001) The World Trade Center was destroyed just days after a heightened security alert was lifted at the landmark 110-story towers, security personnel said yesterday. Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the past two weeks because of numerous phone threats. But on Thursday, bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed. "Today was the first day there was not the extra security," Coard said.
AP: FBI Interviews Terror Trial Judge --The federal judge who oversaw the first major terror trial after Sept. 11 has been interviewed by FBI agents investigating allegations of misconduct in the case, a rare instance of a judge becoming a witness in a probe involving the case he continues to preside over.
Big part of 'Fahrenheit 9/11' profit goes to charity ...A charity, or charities, as yet unnamed, will receive about 60 percent of the net profit ultimately generated by "Fahrenheit 9/11" -- a tally that could be tens of millions of dollars.
Fahrenheit 9/11: (scroll down to news summary) On the day "Fahrenheit 9/11" opens to more than 1,700 theaters across the country, ABC News reports that the Army and Air Force Exchange Service is in talks with Lions Gate to screen "Fahrenheit" to U.S. service members around the world. Lt. Col. Deborah Pressley tells Hartman that when given access to a print, the AAFES plans to show the film in its 159 theaters — including one in Balad, Iraq.

(People For the American Way) "On July 1, People For the American Way Foundation received from the Florida Division of Elections an electronic copy of a list of more than 47,000 registered Florida voters who the Division thinks may be ineligible to vote because of felony convictions. This list is now a public record available for inspection and copying by anyone as a result of the decision on July 1 by the Leon County Circuit Court in CNN v. Florida Department of State."
Fla. GOP: 'Let Ralph Run!' Nader a point of contention between Florida's political parties --Ralph Nader could make the difference in Florida again this year — if he gets on the ballot... Republicans are launching political attacks on Democrats for their desire to keep Nader from being a factor. When Nader first got in the race in February, Florida Democratic Party Chairman Scott Maddox said he would be watching carefully Nader's efforts to get on the ballot and mount a challenge if he doesn't precisely follow Florida law. After reiterating those thoughts this week, his counterpoint at the Republican Party of Florida issued a press release titled "Let Ralph Run!"
Do YOU have questions for the Idiot Usurper's brother, Jeb? ***Open Office Hours*** --Thursday, July 15, 2004, Governor Bush and Lieutenant Governor Jennings will hold Open Office Hours in Defuniak Springs (Walton County).

Registration begins at 7:00 a.m. It is first come-first serve, so get there early!! [Hopefully, Jeb Bush will answer *all* CLGers questions, <g>, so be sure to inquire about his role in the 2000 coup d'etat and why he signed Executive Order #01-261 on September 7, 2001, putting Florida's National Guard in control of all law enforcement and Florida's FEMA. Holy Qaeda coincidence, Batman!!] http://legitgov.org/action_Jeb_070204.html
A Second Hot Tub Emerges [LOL!] And The First One, Which Rowland Gave Away, Is Still Causing A Stir (CT) The infamous hot tub that became the symbol of ex-[Republican-Bush-buddy]Gov. John G. Rowland's ethical lapses has turned out to be a gift that keeps on giving -nothing but trouble. The state Department of Public Works is looking into how one of its employees came to own the spa, last seen outside Rowland's summer cottage on Bantam Lake in Litchfield...
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Chief Endorses Offshoring of Jobs -- U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas Donohue is promoting overseas outsourcing of jobs as a way to expand corpora-terrorism ['boost the economy and even increase employment'] - a stance that rankles jobless white-collar workers, particularly in the flagging technology industry.
State: Mercury In Cereal Box Toy Illegal --Attorney General Seeks Immediate Recall of Kellogg's Products Containing Spider Man Novelty --Connecticut wants Kellogg Co. to take its promotional Spider-Man toy "Spidey-Signal," with its mercury-containing battery, and sling it out of the state. The toy, packaged in several brands of Kellogg's cereal, violates state laws banning the sale of some novelty items and toys containing mercury and should be removed from supermarket shelves immediately, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said Wednesday.
Cereal Maker To Pull 'Spidey' Toys --Kellogg Co. has agreed to stop shipping to Connecticut cereal boxes with enclosed Spidey-Signal toys, which are powered by a battery containing mercury, the state attorney general's office announced Friday.
Sainsburys blockaded nationally! SAINSBURYS' DEPOTS BLOCKADED: NO GM IN OUR MILK! (indymedia.uk) "Sainsburys' chilled food distribution centres are blockaded across the country in protest against GM feed being fed to dairy cows. Sainsburys' five biggest UK distribution centres have been shut down tonight.

[July 1 lead stories:] Former GOP consultant pleads guilty to jamming Democratic phones on Election Day --The former head of a Republican consulting group has pleaded guilty to jamming Democratic telephone lines in several New Hampshire cities on Election Day two years ago. The jamming involved more than 800 computer-generated calls and lasted for about 11/2 hours on Nov. 5, 2002, the day voters decided several races, including a close Senate contest between outgoing Gov. Jeanne Shaheen and GOP Rep. John E. Sununu, who 'won' by fewer than 20,000 votes. "There is, short of murder, not much that is more horrific in America than purposely trying to stop people from voting," said Raymond Buckley, vice chairman of the state Democratic Party.
[President Hussein is being tried for the illegal invasion of Kuwait. Why isn't Dictator Bush on trial for the illegal invasion of Iraq?]
'Real criminal is Bush,' Hussein says --Saddam Hussein rejected charges of war crimes and genocide against him in a court appearance Thursday, telling a judge "this is all theater, the real criminal is Bush," according to a reporter in an official media pool. [Well, it was Bush who illegally invaded and occupied a sovereign nation, and it was Bush I whose ambassador gave Hussein the green light to invade Kuwait, and it was Bush family rogue Rumsfeld who visited Hussein and assured him of US support AFTER the reputed gassing of the Kurds. Oh, we’re not saying Hussein wasn’t a criminal, but it was the CIA that made Hussein and it was the US who sold him arms and poison gasses, and it was Bush who invaded and killed tens of thousands of Iraqis based on misinformation, exaggeration and deception. So, what we are saying is the Hussein is a criminal who once was a US-backed criminal but now a ready-made villain for the theater that is Bush’s War of profit and trial of the re-selection campaign. Hussein isn’t wrong.]
