In 2003, the cost of the war was put at $50 billion and now it is $160 billion and rising -- and this is an unprovoked war of choice.
![]() "I call on America not to confront the Iraqi revolution," said the message read by Sheikh Jaber al-Khafagi to worshippers gathered for the main weekly prayers in this shrine town, a Sadr stronghold. Another Sadr aide, Hassan Haidari, later told AFP that the rebel leader "did not come to the prayer in Kufa because he is observing a sit-in and has begun a hunger strike in protest at the American massacres" in Iraq.
In these days of rampant "no protest zones," radical lawyers are needed. Environmental defense, direct actions against free trade agreements, antiwar protests, all get lawyers involved, like it or not. Becoming an attorney is another way to be an activist, but few people know how...

"The analysts... provided President Bush with the August 6, 2001 PDB (President's Daily Briefing) including the warning that Bin Laden planned to attack the U.S., and mentioned hijacked airplanes as one possibility (apparently not as suicide missiles, but the more traditional skyjack style). What did the President do with that warning?Thomas S. Blanton

WASHINGTON -- First Amendment specialists questioned the legal basis yesterday for a deputy US marshal -- apparently acting on the orders of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia -- to confiscate and erase tape recordings made by two reporters invited to hear the justice speak at a high school gymnasium.
![]() Now that much verifiable information (facts) have come to light from different sources, and now that the Venezuelan government is filing official complaints against the NED at the USA government level (even though the US government does not acknowledge any wrongdoing), it is perhaps time to ask further questions. Who or what is behind the NED? The research shows that there are several links between the US State Department, the NED, the US government and an organization called the "Project for the New American Century" (PNAC). Some people who are members of the PNAC are also "officials" at the US State Department. Some PNAC members are also part of the present US government and at least one PNAC member is at the NED. But what exactly is the PNAC? Who are they? What are their beliefs? Their goals? What does the PNAC have to do with Venezuela?

A Letter from an Iraqi Mother to the Mothers of the Americans Killed in Fallujah.
"I call upon you because we are sisters in motherhood. ... Sisters, I know how painful it is for a woman to lose someone dear. I can feel your pain. For we, Iraqi women, have lost too much, and have suffered what no mother on the face of the earth has. For example, when your government imposed the unjust embargo on our country, we had to watch our children everyday dying from lack of medicine. Because of the weapons of mass destruction your soldiers used, especially depleted uranium, we had to carry babies in our wombs for nine months only to see them born severely deformed. As if all this was not enough for your government, it topped all it off with a war that it launched under false pretexts just to control our wealth, our oil and resources. And it was a brutal war in which many of our children were killed and many others were arrested, both sons and daughters. As of today, your government continues to kill and arrest our sons and daughters. So, after all this, do you still wonder why Iraqis carry such hatred in their hearts towards your kids?! "
"Pagan" people view Mother Earth and all her life as sacred. The current war perpetuated by the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) is damaging life on Earth. We call for all people to return to an Earth-centered spirituality that honors and respects life instead of the three (JCI) religions that destroy the planet in their "hOILy war"

![]() The Herero uprising eventually led to an "extermination order", issued by German colonial officers later in 1904 which resulted in the killing of thousands of the tribe's members. A year later, in 1905, when the operation ground to a halt, about 16,000 of an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 Herero were left -- 14,000 of them in concentration camps. Today, Hereros represent about seven percent of Namibia's 1.8 million-strong population, having never fully recovered from the executions at the turn of the century.

![]() "Bremer told me they nominated a Shiite name as minister of defense and that we cannot have two Shiite ministers in the interior and defense positions, because this would disrupt the balance in the administration of the country," Badran said at a news conference. "I asked him what the solution would be. He said, 'You have to give up the position.' " Badran added: "I was forced to do it." "We have trained police officers and we have been training investigators and I have been really impressed. But we cannot maintain security all over the country," Badran, 51, told a roomful of stunned, mostly Iraqi reporters as he walked off the job, before telling his boss, Bremer: "I hope that God will protect this country and all the people of Iraq."
And if anybody in my hotel has any doubts about their attitude to the anniversary, a gentle warning arrived this morning by fax. It is signed by "the Iraqi armed resistance" and was also sent to schools, businesses and government offices. It reads: "We warn you from putting up decorations, Iraqi flags or any celebration on 9/4/2004. Anybody who disobeys this order will be punished, especially those in charge."
I never thought that the American invasion of Iraq would end very happily, but it still seems extraordinary that a year after Americans entered the capital there are only 12 hours of electricity a day. One quick way of gauging how things are going in Baghdad is to look at the four chimneys of the Daura power station which dominate the skyline in the south of the capital. If smoke is coming out of two or three it means that the electricity supply will be reasonable, but if only one chimney is producing smoke then there will not be enough power. Returning to Baghdad earlier this week, I noticed that for the first time since it was bombed in 1991, no smoke is coming out of any of the chimneys. The symbol of the new Iraq is the concrete block: enormous blocks 15ft high, like gigantic tombstones, are used as blast barriers around all the US-run Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) buildings. They have surrounded the hotels since the suicide bombings started last August. Driving near Saddam's old Republican Palace, there are lines of these blocks several miles long on both sides of the road, turning it into a sort of dismal concrete canyon.
But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.

![]() Demonstrators handed over a letter to an official of the Cabinet Office, calling on Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to pull Japanese troops out of Iraq and take responsibility for the crisis. "You should take responsibility for following the Bush administration as you are fully aware that the dispatch of the Self-Defence Forces will hurt both Japanese and Iraqi people," the letter said.
