QUOTE OF THE DAY
I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but [an American] political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either.

Bush calls Iran 'single biggest threat' to Mideast peace |
||
AFP Mon, 12 May 2008 02:13 EDT |

JERUSALEM - US President George W. Bush on Monday called Iran the "single biggest threat" to peace in the Middle East ahead of a visit to the region centered on celebrations of Israel's 60th anniversary. "To me it's the single biggest threat to peace in the Middle East, the Iranian regime," because of its nuclear programme and its support of groups like the Lebanese Hezbollah militia, Bush told Israel's Channel 10. |

Comment: Bush blaming the victim in classic psychopathic style. |

A secret interrogation centre in Pakistan where British terrorism suspects are alleged to have been tortured after UK authorities had them arrested has been found by the Guardian. The centre, run by the country's Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI), is in the Saddar district of Rawalpindi. It is surrounded by high walls and watchtowers, and bristling with surveillance cameras. |

Israeli PM pressured to resign over bribery scandal |
||
AFP Fri, 09 May 2008 16:09 EDT |
||
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is facing mounting calls to resign over a criminal probe into allegations he took bribes from a millionaire US financier. Olmert has vehemently denied any wrongdoing but has said he would quit if he is charged in a case that threatens to shake the political landscape at a crucial moment in Middle East peacemaking. Pressure on the 62-year-old premier mounted after a gag order over the case was lifted on Thursday. The timing was particularly embarrassing for Olmert, coming as Israel celebrated its 60th anniversary and a week before a scheduled visit by US President George W. Bush. |

Disturbing Stirrings - Ratcheting Up For War On Iran |

Stephen Lendman Stephen Lendman Blog Mon, 12 May 2008 10:15 EDT |

Led by Dick Cheney, Bush administration neocons want war on Iran. So does the Israeli Lobby, but it doesn't mean they'll get it. Powerful forces in Washington and the Pentagon are opposed and so far have prevailed. Nonetheless, worrisome recent events increase the possibility and must be closely watched. |

Call for US to show evidence of Tehran weapons link |
||
Westminster Committee on Iran Sat, 10 May 2008 10:19 EDT |
||
There were calls today for the US either to show evidence of "high level Iranian government involvement in the supply of weapons to militias in Iraq" or to retract their allegations. The demand from the Westminster Committee on Iran, follows the cancellation of a plan to display alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists in Karbala when it was discovered that none of them originated in Iran. It also follows a news briefing on 7th May 2008 in which Major General Bergner, the U.S. military spokesman, listed thousands of weapons and munitions uncovered in recent weeks during fighting with Shiite militiamen in Karbala, none of which were said to originate in Iran. |

Why Big Media Needs Propaganda to Survive |
||
Megan Tady CommonDreams.org Fri, 09 May 2008 21:57 EDT |
||
The mainstream media are as likely to report on Pentagon propaganda - and thus, themselves - as President Bush is likely to cede that "mission accomplished" was poor phrasing. That is, it ain't ever gonna happen. The mainstream media have instituted a news blackout on the New York Times exposé, casting a dark cloak over the story with the wave of a magician's wand. Perhaps with this media sleight-of-hand, we'll soon forget that that this story ever existed. |

Nightmare At Guantanamo Bay |

At the age of 19, Murat Kurnaz vanished into America's shadow prison system in the war on terror. He was from Germany, traveling in Pakistan, and was picked up three months after 9/11. But there seemed to be ample evidence that Kurnaz was an innocent man with no connection to terrorism. The FBI thought so, U.S. intelligence thought so, and German intelligence agreed. But once he was picked up, Kurnaz found himself in a prison system that required no evidence and answered to no one. |

Flashback: The Torture Drawings the Pentagon Doesn't Want You to See |
||
Andy Worthington AlterNet Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00 EDT |
||
Drawings by journalist Sami al-Haj depicting torture at Gitmo have been censored. Sami al-Haj is a journalist, but one unlike any other. For over six years since December 15, 2001 -- when he was seized by Pakistani soldiers on the Afghan border while on assignment as a cameraman for the Qatar-based broadcaster al-Jazeera -- he has been in a disturbing but unique position: a trained journalist held as an "enemy combatant" on the frontline of the Bush administration's "War on Terror," first in Afghanistan, and then in Guantánamo. |

How the U.S. is Reproducing Israel's Flawed Occupation Strategies in Iraq |
|
|
Steve Niva Foreign Policy In Focus Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:39 EDT |
||
The New Walls of Baghdad The new "surge" strategy in Iraq, led by General David Petreaus, has been heavily marketed as an example of the U.S. military's application of the "lessons of history" from previous counterinsurgencies to Iraq, foremost among them the need to win the population over from insurgents through cultivating human relationships, addressing popular grievances and providing security. Yet one glance at the realities on the ground in Iraq today reveal that the cornerstone of current U.S. military strategy is less about cultivating human relationships than about limiting them, primarily through concrete walls and checkpoints. And it has been less about minimizing violence than containing Iraq's population and redirecting the battlefield from the streets to the skies above Iraq. |
