bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === At least 33 dead in rampage on Virginia campus 15 others at Virginia Tech wounded in worst mass shooting in U.S. history Witnesses described him as a man in his 20s, wearing a maroon cap and a black leather jacket. A spokesman for the FBI in Washington said there was no immediate evidence to suggest that the incident was a terrorist attack, "but all avenues will be explored." Perkins said the gunman never said a word. "He didn't say, 'Get down.' He didn't say anything." He just started shooting." Until Monday, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was in Killeen, Texas, in 1991, when George Hennard plowed his pickup truck into a Luby's Cafeteria and shot 23 people to death, then himself. The deadliest previous campus shooting in U.S. history took place in 1966 at the University of Texas, where Charles Whitman climbed to the 28th-floor observation deck of a clock tower and opened fire. He killed 16 people before he was gunned down by police. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18134671/ === Torture, Secrecy, and the Bush Administration We have a duty to posterity, and that is to bear witness to these events. We must document them carefully. We must act to avoid the destruction of valuable evidence-and recognize, as we have already seen, that it is in the character of those who commit crimes to destroy the evidence of their misdeeds. In this way we lay the path for the justice which will in good time be meted out to those who betrayed a nation's trust. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17540.htm === Bush administration pushes for expansion and deepening of police state The George W. Bush administration seized the White House in 2000 by way of an openly stolen election, then cemented its criminal power into place with the unprecedented 9/11 mass murder, and its two resulting abominations: the fabricated "war on terrorism" (the pretext for endless global war), and the USAPATRIOT Act (the full-scale destruction of the Constitution, and the militarization of the US homeland). The deepening of the war and security state continues unabated and relatively unopposed, in spite of meager posturing of (largely complicit) congressional Democrats. Nothing has been done to stop, reverse or undo the Bush administration's boundless criminality, its wide open corruption, or the absolute and systematic rape of law itself. Few if any of Bush's criminals have been brought to justice. http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_1972.shtml === Dictatorship : Bush administration seeking to expand spying powers http://www.wsws.org/articles/2007/apr2007/fisa-a16.shtml === The Assassination of Muhammad Abdulhamed al-Naimi AMSI issued a press statement condemning the assassination of Sheikh Muhammad Abdulhamed al-Naimi preacher and imamof Dhi Noorain mosque in Al-Noor Area.
