Muslim Group claims snub by U.S. Treasury
Guidance sought on how to keep giving
American Muslim leaders claim pleas to U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow
for guidelines on how to financially aid the Palestinian people without
being accused of terrorism have been ignored.
The American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections, a coalition of
the largest U.S. Muslim groups, was angered by the closure of Toledos
KindHearts charity in February.

Gitmo: Bush's Gift to Humanity
Can U.S. fool all the people all the time?
It is true that the U.S. public hates Guantanamo Bay ("Gitmo") more than
Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, or Saddam Hussein. Not because they have
forgotten 9/11 or the wound to their heart by terrorist maneuvers and
blood-hungry dictators around the world, but just because they love
humanity, peace, and democracy more than anything else. They have one basic
motto live and let live, they want to live and let others live in peace
the American way of living.

More Spying Revealed: American Government is Out of Control!
It is clear that the NSA's domestic spying program, a program that should
not legally exist, is far larger than originally anticipated. USA Today
reported that, in order to develop this program, the government agency used
private phone records provided by three major companies, AT&T Inc., Verizon
Communications Inc., and Bellsouth Corp.

debate a number of novel legal strategies to help prevent another attack.
Soon after, President Bush authorized the National Security Agency to begin
conducting electronic eavesdropping on terrorism suspects in the United
States, including American citizens, without court approval.

NSA Whistleblower Says "People Are Going To Be Shocked" By His Testimony

Patriot Act e-mail spying approved

Though the language may be clumsy, Hogan said, the Patriot Act's amendments

required, he said, is that prosecutors claim the surveillance could
conceivably be "relevant" to an investigation.

FOX News Doesn't Like The Fourth Amendment
It was pretty clear last night (5/11/06) that when CEO Roger Ailes claims
that what distinguishes FOX News is we like America, he doesnt mean the
Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. First, FOX News buried a
discussion about the uproar over the NSAs secret collection of phone call
records of tens of millions of Americans into the second half-hour of
Hannity & Colmes (after a double segment about the Duke rape case). Then it
provided conservative Republican Newt Gingrich as the only guest, with no
civil liberties expert as balance. So when Gingrich, who also happens to be
a FOX News employee, dismissed search warrants as legal technicalities
well, one began to get the message. And thats not counting the false,
misleading information given by Sean Hannity.

Israel Leaders avoid subject of anti-Arab racism
Racism, as reflected in the findings of the 2006 Israel Democracy Index,
was of less concern to speakers at the Israel Democracy Institute's fourth
annual conference at Beit Hanassi than the public's waning confidence in
democratic institutions such as the Knesset, the Supreme Court, the police
and even the presidency.
In fact, with the exception of IDI President Arye Carmon, who charged that
"Israeli bullies such as Avigdor Lieberman" contribute to the decline of
Arab trust in Israeli democracy, the only speaker who spoke in depth about
the fact that 62 percent of Israeli Jews believe the government should
encourage Arabs to leave the country, was an Arab, Dr. Faisal Azaiza, head
of the Jewish-Arab Center & Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Haifa.
Such an indicator, said Azaiza, was shocking to all humanists.

To the great consternation of most of the world, the European Union,

Hamas has not recognized Israel's "right to exist" or "renounced violence,"
