After the Downing Street Memo: The Case for Impeachment Builds
The fallout from the revelation of a secret meeting between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his senior national security team appears to be growing. We take a look at the so-called "Downing Street Memo" which reveals how the former director of the British intelligence agency, MI6, told Prime Minister Tony Blair that the U.S. had already made plans to attack Iraq as early as July 2002.

Come Build a Breakthrough
Campaign to Expose and Defeat
the Seamless Deceit behind 9/11,
Resource Wars, Troop Betrayal and Constitutional Jeopardy

"Justice is truth in action."
- Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

WHAT
A historic convergence of truth groups, activists, whistle-blowers, indie media and the foreign press to expose and counter the government's most lethal lies and mainstream media complicity. The event series plays off two current icons of official deceit: the first birthday of the 9/11 Commission Report on July 22nd and the third anniversary of the Downing Street Memo on July 23rd. Our events will include a unique National Press Club briefing, a name-packed Lafayette Park "Defeat Lethal Deceit" rally, a dance/concert, and a strategy summit among truth movement leaders, veteran & victim family groups, grassroots activists and the indie media community.

Battle for America
http://www.thebattleforamerica.com/the-battle-for-america-large.html
the battle has begun...

In the last analysis we must be judged by what we do and not by what we believe.
We are as we behave - with a very small margin of credit for our unmanifested vision of how we might behave if we could take the
trouble.

~Geoffrey L. Rudd,
The British Vegetarian,1962

Who Speaks For Islam?

A Link TV original production that explores Islam in an age when Muslim extremists are laying claim to the religion. Veteran NPR and PBS journalist, Ray Suarez, hosts a provocative roundtable discussion with American Muslim scholars and Mike Scheuer, author of Imperial Hubris and a former CIA expert on fundamentalist Islamic movements. The program gives Americans the opportunity to hear rarely-heard Muslim voices, including Shaykh Muhammad Tantawi, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar University in Cairo. Video pieces from the Middle East are interwoven throughout the program to give viewers a political and cultural context. To view a streamed version of this program, click here. http://linktv.org/streams/

No More Hiroshimas! No More Nagasakis!

Events
August 6 and 9, 2005 mark the 60th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States. We're asking people to join at four central US nuclear weapons sites in major actions calling for an end to the development and production of nuclear warheads. Activities will recognize the devastation caused by nuclear weapons and memorialize the many victims of bomb production at every step - from uranium mining to design, to production, to testing and use.

33. Heads-Up: Someone is calling into the Radio Shows Claiming
the March of off. Like a "hey, did you hear..." and "I heard it was off..." 1 caller mentioned it on Malloy's show a few nights back. I frantically ran a search and realized it was not true.

Thanks for keeping us posted and I hope the mods keep this kicking.

Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists their cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

Denounce Torture
Remarks of Rep. John Conyers, Jr.

Yale University
April 8, 2005

Today our nation stands on the verge of a civil liberties calamity.

If you would have told me four years ago, that our nation was not only condoning, but actually engaging in torture and inhuman treatment, both abroad and at home, I wouldn’t have believed you. If you would have told me that our own Justice Department had developed the legal justification for these acts, I would have found you to be not credible. If you would have told me that we had deported a Canadian Citizen to Syria for ten months of torture and imprisonment, I would have said you must be thinking of a repressive dictatorship, such as Iran or Iraq, not the United States.

But that is where we are today. In many respects, the threat to our liberties today is more grave than previous overreactions to foreign threats to our country. However, unlike the crackdowns we experienced after the Civil War, World War I and II and the Vietnam War, today’s war on terror has no likely or foreseeable end point.

Geneva Convention and Other Laws

Perhaps most shocking of all is the Administration’s misunderstanding of the laws and treaties against torture. There is perhaps no more clear or more important principal in all of international law. Under the Geneva Convention, torture and other ill-treatment at any time of any person in custody is prohibited. This applies to every nation in the world. It applies during times of peace, times of armed conflict, and states of emergency. It applies to any person, whether a U.S. citizen or non-citizen. It applies inside the United States or outside of our borders.

Maher's Story in Brief
Maher Arar is a 34-year-old wireless technology consultant. Arar was born in Syria and at the age of 17, came to Canada with his family. He became a Canadian citizen in 1991 and in 1997 moved to Ottawa.

In September 2002, Arar was in Tunisia, vacationing with his wife Monia Mazigh and their two small children. On Sept. 26 while in transit in New York’s JFK airport, he was detained by US officials and interrogated about alleged links to al-Qaeda. Twelve days later, he was chained, shackled and flown to Jordan aboard a private plane and from there transferred to a Syrian prison.

In Syria, he was held in a tiny “grave-like” cell for ten months and ten days before he was moved to a better cell in a different prison. He was beaten, tortured and forced to make a false confession.

During his imprisonment, Monia campaigned relentlessly on his behalf. After many representations from Canadian Human Rights organizations and a growing number of citizens, the Government of Canada, on Jan. 28, 2004, announced a Commission of Inquiry into the Actions of Canadian Officials in Relation to Maher Arar.

22. On closer inspection,
it looks like the poem that comes up when you click "parent directory" is the only one on 9-11, and looks like it's not in the contents list.

Though the first poem is very fitting:

EPIGRAM FOR THE BATTLEFIELD

"About the men who here lie dead,
Their raging, warring battle through,
One sure thing can there be said:
They'd better things to do."


The links in the 9-11 poem are kindof special, in that some refer to different related content when you hover the mouse pointer over the link for a second time.

By Len Bracken – July 25, 2005

WASHINGTON, D.C.—On the first anniversary of the 9/11 Commission Report, family members and experts challenged its veracity and comprehensiveness at hearings convened by Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) on July 22.

Congresswoman McKinney set the tone by reminding the assembled citizens and media in the stately Cannon Office Building hearing room of administration’s opposition to the commission, of the conflicts of interest among its members and of the omissions in the report. Many of the alleged hijackers are alive in Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Egypt, she said, yet the report failed to mention this. She lamented that the report did not cover the final $100,000 payment to hijacker Mohamed Atta from Saeed Sheikh or Bin Laden’s connection with the mujaheddin. Much “inconvenient information” was left out of the report, she said. Co-chair the 9/11 Family Steering Committee, Lorie Van Auken, whose husband died in the World Trade Center, shattered the notion that the report is an accurate account by presenting numerous cases where it is suspect, such as the three-minute discrepancy with the seismic record of the flight 93 crash and the failure to investigate the claim by the administration spokesman that there were no warnings when in fact there were many. The report somehow skipped over the FBI’s thwarting of a request to search Zacorais Moussaoui’s computer by editing the request and finally blocking it. According to Van Auken, the so-called Reno Wall excuse for this was unjustified and an FBI lawyer who looked into the affair had never seen a refusal for a search request such as this. Moreover, the FBI official responsible for blocking the request, David Frasca, was rewarded with a promotion and large financial bonus.

Van Auken also cites the report’s failure to draw a conclusion from the CIA’s lack of follow-up on a tip from German intelligence that could have led to the Hamburg cell. Buried in a footnote, she said, the report mentions the CIA deliberately kept the FBI out of the loop regarding two suspects who should have been on a watch list much earlier. The desk officer would not say who told her to withhold this information. The commission perpetuates the myth that institutional problems, not intentional withholding, were to blame, she said. Van Auken directly challenged the veracity of Condoleezza Rice’s testimony regarding purported ignorance of the threat posed by hijacked planes used as missiles and the famous presidential daily briefing entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the United States.” Van Auken characterized the latter as domestic and current rather than historical.

Reflecting the frustration of many victims’ families, Van Auken noted the absence of prosecutions, citing the release of suspects in Germany because of the lack of cooperation from the United States. She said the report did not adequately account for the military exercises on the morning of 9/11, which created considerable confusion. Only one video of the Pentagon has been released, she said, and it has the wrong date on it. The commission did not answer requests to see the videos from a nearby gas station and hotel.

July 23, 2005 – House Hearing on anniversary of 911 Report

snip

Former CIA officer Mel Goodman stated that the 911 Commission intelligence reforms proposed and, in part, acted upon by the Bush administration, would do nothing to prevent the politicization of intelligence. He said there’s no better way to politicize intelligence than to place the Director of National Intelligence in the executive chain. He added, “considering Negroponte’s background in Honduras,” the creation of the DNI is “a bad precedent.” Goodman pointed to a statement by Negroponte that his goal is to ensure intelligence “meets consumer demands.”

The panel discussed past U.S. support for Al Qaeda and its affiliates in Afghanistan, the Caucasus, Algeria, the Philippines, and the Balkans. Experts like British Middle East expert Nafeez Ahmed, author of The War on Freedom, pointed to links between Philippine Intelligence and the Abu Sayyaf Group; Algerian Intelligence ties to the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), and U.S. intelligence support for Al Qaeda units in Kosovo and Azerbaijan and the Mujaheddin and Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The 1990s exploits of Iran-contra felon, retired General Richard Secord, and two other covert players, retired Air Force Special Forces officer Harry “Heine” Aderholt and Gary Best, in backing Azerbaijan against Armenian separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh, was of particular note. The three, using a front company called Mega Oil, brought hundreds of “Arab Afghans,” many of whom were members of Al Qaeda and served under then-Bin Laden ally Gulbuddin Hekmatayar, into the region from Afghanistan to fight not only in Nagorno-Karabakh but also Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. The goal was to eliminate pro-Russian governments to make way for the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline. Hundreds of Al Qaeda terrorists were trained in terror tactics. At the time of the operations, Richard Armitage was the head of the US-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce, an entity supported by companies like Chevron (on whose board Condoleezza Rice served), Halliburton (where Dick Cheney was CEO), and Enron (which was a cash cow and network of off-shore shells for the Bush family).

snip

“In the area of ignorant or mislaid intelligence warnings about 911, as well as the false (and probably in some cases, falsified) intelligence about Saddam Hussein’s supposed WMDs and terrorist links, I can attest to personal experience: Myself and other working reporters often described Saddam Hussein’s early support of notorious Palestinian guerilla groups, such as Abu Nidal, but also his quarrels with them, often resulting in their expulsion and/or assassination of their leaders.”

“We reported how bin Laden, during his 1990s operations in the Sudan and later, denounced Saddam and offered to turn his volunteer Islamist legions against him in the Kuwait war of 1991. This was rejected by the Saudi royals. They preferred to accept then US Defense Secretary Dick Cheney’s offer of a 400,000-plus, US-led expeditionary force, an idea excoriated by bin Laden as “an infidel presence” at sacred Muslim holy places, a main cause of bin Laden’s break with the Saudi regime.”
