Kenduri Cinta: [padhang-mbulan] Terror in the Name of US War's Error

bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === America, the land of the free- minus the free Although our national anthem assures us that we live in "the land of the free," Americans cannot honestly pretend that we are doing our best to preserve that freedom anymore. Free people can say no. Free people can refuse demands for their money, time, and children. Slaves cannot. There is no freedom without the freedom to say no. If someone demands that you do something and you can say no and refuse to do it, then you are a free human being. If you can be forced to do something or surrender something that you do not wish to, then you are a slave. No other test need be applied. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/october2005/261005landofthefree.htm === We Burn Corpses, Don't We? War Crimes in Afghanistan For the people of Afghanistan, fed up with U.S. atrocities and support for regional warlords, there's growing talk of ejecting U.S. troops--just as the former USSR's military was kicked out in 1989 after a decade of occupation. "Their future will be like the Russians," said Zahidullah, a resident of Kabul. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article10778.htm === U.S.: License to Abuse Would Put CIA Above the Law Congress Should Reject Proposed Exemption From Ban on Inhumane Treatment (New York, October 26, 2005) The Bush administration is now the only government in the world to claim a legal justification for mistreating prisoners during interrogations, Human Rights Watch said today. http://hrw.org/english/docs/2005/10/26/usdom11922.htm see aslo: White House Seeks Exception in Abuse Ban http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/1025-07.htm and Proposed Waiver for Legislation http://hrw.org/us/cheney_detainee102505.pdf More on Torture http://hrw.org/doc/?t=torture === WASHIGTON POST EDITORIAL: Cheney will be remembered as the vice president who campaigned for torture VICE PRESIDENT Cheney is aggressively pursuing an initiative that may be unprecedented for an elected official of the executive branch: He is proposing that Congress legally authorize human rights abuses by Americans. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/25/AR2005102501388.html === Legalized Torture, Reloaded Cheney's proposal - Would give the president the power to allow government agencies outside the Defense Department (the administration has in mind the C.I.A.) to mistreat and torture prisoners as long as that behavior was part of "counterterrorism operations conducted abroad" and they were not American citizens. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article10775.htm === PBS film documents Rumsfelds role in authorizing torture The Public Broadcasting Services October 18 edition of Frontline aired a documentary on US torture of detainees held in American prison camps in Cuba, Afghanistan and Iraq. Entitled The Torture Question, the report makes clear that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld bears direct responsibility for the brutal methods of interrogation used against US prisoners. http://www.propagandamatrix.com/articles/october2005/261005filmdocuments.htm === Dozens of Abu Ghraibs GENEVA, Oct 25 (IPS) - U.S. human rights groups have denounced before the U.N. Human Rights Committee that there are perhaps dozens of secret detention centres around the world where Washington is holding an unknown number of prisoners as part of its "war on terror". This week in Geneva, the Committee began to examine the United States' compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, particularly with regard to its anti-terrorism activities. http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=30773 === Detainee says he wishes to die A detainee on a hunger strike at the U.S. prison for terrorism suspects at Guantánamo Bay wants a judge to order the removal of his feeding tube so he can be allowed to die, one of his lawyers said Tuesday. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article10770.htm === Guantanamo ordeal of Aljazeera cameraman Sami al-Hajj says he has suffered physical and sexual abuse. Sami Muhy al-Din al-Hajj, a Sudanese national, was arrested by the US military while working for Aljazeera during the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, and detained in Guantanamo for four years without trial. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/021AA43D-0DC8-4EC1-835E-41EEBF47C27A.htm === Mr. Bring em on Yesterday while speaking to a group of military wives in Washington, Mr. Bush said, This war will require more sacrifice, more time and more resolve. Of course this speech of pre-emptive consolation to the news of the 2,000th death was not in vain, as the announcement came but a few hours after his speech at the air force base. http://dahrjamailiraq.com/weblog/archives/dispatches/000311.php#more === ABC News refused to air it's footage of election fraud in Iraq GWEN IFILL, host: Now to Iraq. This was supposed to be another one of those corner-turning moments--a successful constitutional referendum, the prosecution of Saddam, or at least the beginning of it. Martha Raddatz is just back--36 hours on the plane--from witnessing all of this on the ground in Iraq. http://www.pbs.org/weta/washingtonweek/transcripts/transcript051021.html === Iraq's War Dead This week's grim milestone, 2,000 American soldiers killed in Iraq, doesn't begin to scratch the surface of the real human costs of this war. FULL ARTICLE AT: http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/27353/ === No End In Sight $250 billion already spent occupy Iraq, US Congress finalizing another payment of $50 billion to continue the occupation FULL ARTICLE: http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/27348/ === General Janis Karpinski mentions Israeli working with US Delta Forces near Baghdad airport in book and on 'Democracy Now' General (Colonel) Janis Karpinski on 'Democracy Now' this morning (she mentioned the Israeli working with the US Delta Forces at the detention facility near the Baghdad airport and included mention of such in her book as well): http://www.itszone.co.uk/zone0/viewtopic.php?t=43516 === Saddam's defense team wants to put Bush on trial "We shall contact international and Arab lawyer associations and will put forward the proof allowing for a trial of the criminal Bush at the same time as the fake trial takes place in Iraq," Saleh Armouti told a meeting of the Amman-based Saddam defense committee. http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=10&categ_id=2&article_id=19589 === Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Tuesday, 25 October 2005 - In bold lightning attack, Iraqi Resistance fighters set free prisoners being taken to Abu Ghurayb - Three mercenary contractors killed in Resistance ambush in Baghdad Tuesday morning - Baghdad Medical City Emergency Ward chief: all those killed in Monday bombings were security personnel - US-backed Iraqi security units fight each other in the streets of Baghdad - Double bombing leaves two US troops reported dead in ash-Sharaqat early Tuesday morning - Car bombs target pro-American Kurdish separatists in as-Sulaymaniyah, Irbil in northern Iraq - Three bodies of executed Iraqi puppet army soldiers found in ar-Ramadi Tuesday morning - Resistance bomb blasts US supply convoy south of Baghdad, killing truck driver Tuesday afternoon - Car bomb blasts Peshmergah in Irbil http://www.albasrah.net/en_articles_2005/1005/iraqiresistancereport_251005.htm === We, the People vs. Zionism Since Zionism is a racial supremacism, it cannot fit easily, neatly or legitimately into the mainstream of US political thought and activity. Indeed, according to US law, much of the Zionist ideology and agenda is illegal since it is blatantly racist and discriminatory. It is contrary to everything that the US professes to stand for. http://www.uruknet.info/?p=17165&hd=0&size=1&l=x === If Israel has nukes, why cant the rest? The U.S. adopts a biased stance towards countries who possess or seek nuclear technology or weapons, allowing states like Israel, India to proceed without any interference, although they failed to fulfill their commitments under the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), while it piles the pressure on and fights others like Iran, Iraq (before toppling Saddam Hussein) and North Korea for them not to have nukes. http://www.aljazeera.com/cgi-bin/review/article_full_story.asp?service_ID=9926 === In case you missed it: Israel strives to import America's war on terror The Israeli political-security establishment is coming to the conclusion that the terror attacks on September 11 granted Israel and advantage; at a time when Israel was under increasing international pressure because of the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article10777.htm === Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Attack Civilian Targets and Maintain Siege on the Gaza Strip For the third consecutive day, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have continued to shell Palestinian civilian targets in the Gaza Strip using warplanes, gunboats as well as tanks positioned at the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel. http://pchrgaza.org === Syria in the Imperialist Crosshairs The New York Times is having a heck of a time dodging scorn and maintaining any semblance of authenticity these days, apologizing for its Jayson Blairs, bogus WMD reporting, and Judith Millers. Even owner Arthur Sulzbergers feet are being held to the fire now. Yet, the paper persists in its role as a stenographer for the US government. The Times coverage of the UN report by German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis on the slaying of Rafik Hariri, a former Lebanese prime minister, and 20 others, is a further example. http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Oct05/Petersen1026.htm === The ground war in Syria has begun Syria is in grave danger of attack and destruction by the United States, and Iran isn't, simply because the neocons take their marching orders from Israel, and the Likudniks want regime change in Syria, and the ultimate destruction of that country. The secular Syrian government, with its strong ties to pan-Arab nationalism, is the biggest nightmare for the Likudniks, and it is no accident that the two first targets, Iraq and Syria, were both secular governments which fought internal religious strife from Islamists by appealing to Arab identity. http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=17167&s2=26 === Uzbek Activist Jailed The September 11 attacks on the United States of America and the U.S. government's declaration of a "global war on terrorism" were an opportunity for the Karimov government to evade international condemnation of its widespread violations of human rights. The Karimov government formed a strategic partnership with the U.S. government, and ever more confident that its treatment of non-violent dissidents would be overlooked by its global allies, stepped up repression of independent civil society and human rights defenders. See: http://action.humanrightsfirst.org/campaign/Tojibaeva/explanation === In case you missed it: The new Pentagon papers A high-ranking military officer reveals how Defense Department extremists suppressed information and twisted the truth to drive the country to war. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article5829.htm === Italian faces pre-war intelligence probe The head of Italy's military secret services will be questioned by a parliamentary commission next week over allegations that his organization gave the United States and Britain disputed documents suggesting that Saddam Hussein had been seeking uranium in Africa, officials said Tuesday. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1103AP_Italy_Iraq_Uranium.html === -muslim voice- ___________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW ---------- No virus found in this outgoing message.
