Kurt Nimmo | Political crime families, like their Mafia counterparts, often kill the competition.
The Worst War Crime Yet? Bush’s War on Children in Iraq
Surely nothing that President Bush has done in his two wretched terms of office–not the invasion and destruction of Iraq, not the overturning of the five-centuries-old tradition of habeas corpus, not his authorization and encouragement of torture, not his campaign of domestic spying–nothing, can compare in its ugliness as his approval, as commander in chief, of the imprisoning of over 2500 children.

FBI Evidence that Indicts George W. Bush for Mass Murder, War Crimes and Torture
A 370-page report by the Justice Department Inspector General references an FBI investigation of US torture that accuses the Bush White House, the National Security Council, the Pentagon and the Justice Department with ‘ordering and planning’ torture, including ‘procedures’ that resulted in death to ‘detainees’. In other words –murder!
The report details how the US began torturing captives in 2002. ‘Attempts to stop it … were systematically suppressed’, evidence of criminal activity by the Bush administration covered up. Bush’s cover up of torture is itself a crime for which he should be impeached, tried and prosecuted.
Speculation wreaking havoc on food prices
Speculation is exerting pressure on agriculture-based commodities - now facing competition with regard to their use as food and a source of energy - and sending prices to unprecedented levels. This is in turn fuelling the current global food crisis, according to economists.
(WRH: Let me see if I understand this. Somewhere between the people who actually grow the food, and the people who eat it, is a bunch of other people who neither grow the food, transport it, package it, or stock the grocery shelves, who somehow have inserted themselves into the supply line for the sole purpose of treating it all like a giant legal casino they are able to make huge fortunes off of. That about sum it up?)
Business As Usual in the U.S. Justice Department’s Revelations on Torture
The cover on the U.S. as the world’s beacon of morality has long since been blown, yet Mr. Bush and his cohorts continue to act as if it were a reality, and many Americans, like lemmings, follow his lead. The facts that are such an anathema to Mr. Bush seem to receive the same reaction from many U.S. citizens. Yes, they might say, the U.S. invades sovereign nations; indiscriminately slaughters the men, women and children of those nations; tortures their captured prisoners; ignores the needs of its own soldiers and their loved ones, often causing their families at home to live in poverty, and discarding wounded soldiers to a more or less indifferent veterans’ health care system; bankrupts the nation as it destroys another one, but it is still the greatest country in the world.

“Within a year, the Israeli government will have to decide between two options: either not do anything and reconcile itself to the fact that Iran is now nuclear, or take unilateral military action,” Giora Eiland, Israel’s former national security adviser, told Scotland on Sunday.
Dead because of a lie. Dead because selfish people in government wanted a war and lied to get one, aided by selfish people in the media WHO TOOK MONEY FROM GEORGE BUSH TO LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. The government and the media traded the blood of these young Americans for their personal gain. Look at their faces. How can you not be angry?

Guardian: Lecturers fear threat to academic freedom
Lecturers fear threat to academic freedom

A masters student researching terrorist tactics who was arrested and detained for six days after his university informed police about al-Qaida-related material he downloaded has spoken of the “psychological torture” he endured in custody.
Despite his Nottingham University supervisors insisting the materials were directly relevant to his research, Rizwaan Sabir, 22, was held for nearly a week under the Terrorism Act, accused of downloading the materials for illegal use. The student had obtained a copy of the al-Qaida training manual from a US government website for his research into terrorist tactics.
The case highlights what lecturers are claiming is a direct assault on academic freedom led by the government which, in its attempt to establish a “prevent agenda” against terrorist activity, is putting pressure on academics to become police informers.
US residents in military brigs? Govt says it’s war
WASHINGTON - If his cell were at Guantanamo Bay, the prisoner would be just one of hundreds of suspected terrorists detained offshore, where the U.S. says the Constitution does not apply.
But Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri is a U.S. resident being held in a South Carolina military brig; he is the only enemy combatant held on U.S. soil. That makes his case very different.
Al-Marri’s capture six years ago might be the Bush administration’s biggest domestic counterterrorism success story. Authorities say he was an al-Qaida sleeper agent living in middle America, researching poisonous gasses and plotting a cyberattack.
To justify holding him, the government claimed a broad interpretation of the president’s wartime powers, one that goes beyond warrantless wiretapping or monitoring banking transactions. Government lawyers told federal judges that the president can send the military into any U.S. neighborhood, capture a citizen and hold him in prison without charge, indefinitely.
