David Hicks receives Sentence |
Submitted by: dingo / 30 Mar 2007
Publisher: Cleaves Publishing

Notice the use of language -- Australian news radio (12 noon) today broadcast that "convicted terrorist, David Hicks, receives nine month sentence..." -- shame on ABC news radio, one can only wonder whether the choice of wording reflected the fundamentalist conservative, evangelical christian values of the Howard loving producer, who will remain nameless in this report. Unlike American loving evangelical christians, most Australians accept "convictions" as a result of fair trials and due legal process NOT sordid kangaroo court 'determinations'. |

American Justice: Hicks Tortured, Rumsfeld Exonerated! |
Submitted by: Kingfisher / 29 Mar 2007
Publisher: Cleaves Publishing
|
|
The now infamous Donald Rumsfeld has avoided legal responsibility for the extremely controversial ruling he made in December 2002, which effectively allowed the U.S. military to utilise torture methods against their perceived or imagined enemies. An American court ruled that Rumsfeld had no case to answer due principally to the fact that as Secretary of Defence he was IMMUNE from the charges! One Law for you and another for me! If the public ever wondered why Bush, Blair and Howard appear unconcerned over the prospect of war crimes charges, perhaps the Rumsfeld decision sheds some light on the matter. |

THE FUTURE OF BOMBING: General David Petraeus, Commander of the Multinational Force Iraq, continues the proud Military tradition of launching air strikes on areas populated by civilians.(In 1920, the British dropped 97 tons of bombs on Iraq, killing 9000 Iraqis). This month an additional US AVIATION BRIGADE with more than 2,600 troops will be deployed to Iraq. It will unleash attack aircraft, transport helicopters, destruction and death; most of which will be not be reported.

Pope Loses It |
Submitted by: @ / 27 Mar 2007
Publisher: news.com.au
|
Pope Benedict XVI, in delusional tirade, imagines that Hell is real and threatens sinners with eternal damnation.
HELL is a place where sinners really do burn in an everlasting fire, and not just a religious symbol designed to galvanise the faithful, Pope Benedict XVI has said.
Addressing a parish gathering in a northern suburb of Rome, the Pope said that in the modern world many people, including some believers, had forgotten that if they failed to "admit blame and promise to sin no more", they risked "eternal damnation - the inferno".
Hell "really exists and is eternal, even if nobody talks about it much any more". |

SPECIAL REPORTS
Operation Bite: April 6 sneak attack by US forces against Iran
planned, Russian military sources warn
By Webster G. Tarpley
Online Journal Contributing Writer
Mar 26, 2007, 01:02
WASHINGTON DC, -- The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now
on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 am on April
6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known
Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly “Argumenty
Nedeli.†Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian
General Staff for his account.
The attack is slated to last for 12 hours, according to Uglanov, from
4 am until 4 pm local time. Friday is the sabbath in Iran. In the
course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are
marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities,
research centers, and laboratories.
The first reactor at the Bushehr nuclear plant, where Russian
engineers are working, is supposed to be spared from destruction. The
US attack plan reportedly calls for the Iranian air defense system to
be degraded, for numerous Iranian warships to be sunk in the Persian
Gulf, and for the most important headquarters of the Iranian armed
forces to be wiped out.
The attacks will be mounted from a number of bases, including the
island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is currently
home to B-52 bombers equipped with standoff missiles. Also
participating in the air strikes will be US naval aviation from
aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, as well as from those of the
Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Additional cruise missiles will be
fired from submarines in the Indian Ocean and off the coast of the
Arabian peninsula. The goal is allegedly to set back Iran’s nuclear
program by several years, writes Uglanov, whose article was reissued
by RIA-Novosti in various languages, but apparently not English,
several days ago. The story is the top item on numerous Italian and
German blogs, but so far appears to have been ignored by US websites.
Observers comment that this dispatch represents a high-level
orchestrated leak from the Kremlin, in effect a war warning, which
draws on the formidable resources of the Russian intelligence
services, and which deserves to be taken with the utmost seriousness
by pro-peace forces around the world.
Asked by RIA-Novosti to comment on the Uglanov report, retired
Colonel General Leonid Ivashov confirmed its essential features in a
March 21 interview: “I have no doubt that there will be an operation,
or more precisely a violent action against Iran.†Ivashov, who has
reportedly served at various times as an informal advisor to Russian
President Vladimir Putin, is currently the vice president of the
Moscow Academy for Geopolitical Sciences.
Ivashov attributed decisive importance to the decision of the
Democratic leadership of the US House of Representatives to remove
language from the just-passed Iraq supplemental military
appropriations bill that would have demanded that Bush come to
Congress before launching an attack on Iran. Ivashov pointed out that
the language was eliminated under pressure from AIPAC, the lobbing
group representing the Israeli extreme right, and from Israeli
Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni.
“We have drawn the unmistakable conclusion that this operation will
take place,†said Ivashov. In his opinion, the US planning does not
include a land operation: “ Most probably there will be no ground
attack, but rather massive air attacks with the goal of annihilating
Iran’s capacity for military resistance, the centers of
administration, the key economic assets, and quite possibly the
Iranian political leadership, or at least part of it,†he continued.
Ivashov noted that it was not to be excluded that the Pentagon would
use smaller tactical nuclear weapons against targets of the Iranian
nuclear industry. These attacks could paralyze everyday life, create
panic in the population, and generally produce an atmosphere of chaos
and uncertainty all over Iran, Ivashov told RIA-Novosti. “This will
unleash a struggle for power inside Iran, and then there will be a
peace delegation sent in to install a pro-American government in
Teheran,†Ivashov continued. One of the US goals was, in his
estimation, to burnish the image of the current Republican
administration, which would now be able to boast that they had wiped
out the Iranian nuclear program.
Among the other outcomes, General Ivashov pointed to a partition of
Iran along the same lines as Iraq, and a subsequent carving up of the
Near and Middle East into smaller regions. “This concept worked well
for them in the Balkans and will now be applied to the greater Middle
East,†he commented.
“Moscow must exert Russia’s influence by demanding an emergency
session of the United Nations Security Council to deal with the
current preparations for an illegal use of force against Iran and the
destruction of the basis of the United Nations Charter,†said General
Ivashov. “In this context Russia could cooperate with China, France
and the non-permanent members of the Security Council. We need this
kind of preventive action to ward off the use of force,†he concluded.

Aussie Torture Victim pleads ‘Guilty’ |
Submitted by: finch / 27 Mar 2007
Publisher: Cleaves Publishing

In circumstances that could only be described as 'railroading' and coercive, the Aussie battler, David Hicks has pleaded guilty to one count of providing material support to terrorists. Few Australians, including leading legal advocates accept the 'trial' of Hicks as legally legitimate. The flagrantly rogue court convened under the most biased and unfair conditions also disqualified Hicks' civilian lawyers at the last minute. Hicks' (now) disqualified lawyers accused the presiding judge, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Coleman of making up the rules as he went along -- there is nothing new in the 'legal' proceedings at Guantanamo Bay! |
