WASHINGTON - Bracing for what the defense secretary has described as "sadistic" pictures, Congress will see the unreleased photos showing Iraqi prisoners being abused by U.S. soldiers, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee (news - web sites) said Sunday.

Herein lays out the most recent corporate grab for dominance of our public property.

Iraq, Britain's "war on terror", B.C health workers strike, reviews, photo gallery and much more!

"Can a simple mind like Bush distinguish between terrorism and other religions? When it is the firm unshakable belief of a person that there is only oneGod, only his God, and he feels `chosen' by this God, how much openness will he bring for other ways of looking at things?.."

We should start preparing now for Shrub's return to Oregon for the 2004 campaign. Please, oh political gods, let him come back to downtown Portland!

Tre deeply appreciates any communication from friends and supporters and can receive mail at the following new address:

if voters recently 're-registered' to vote, ie to switch parties to vote in the Boot Kerry Priamry, they may get two ballots in the mail... it looks as if this may be the method of vote fraud here in Oregon..... the skull and boners have probably already hired henchmen to fill in extra ballots throughout the state.
This sounds like florida all over again, despite the clear intention of the voter, officials will now have a reason to throw out votes when they choose.

After years of soul-searching during his alone-time on the Texas Ranch, President Bush has truly learned the meaning of the Christian message he has been preaching to the world:

This is from a NYT board-- it wasn't attributed. Sounds like it might be from the Onion. But one could hope that a true conversion and repentence is in the works.

Police in Poland have admitted they mistakenly fired live ammunition, instead of rubber bullets, to quell a riot at a university on Saturday night.

The answer is that the Bush Administration ALL knew about the torture at and murder least a year and a half ago, if not right from the start. They Knew about it, and probably ordered it. Even simply allowing it to continue, when they could put a stop to it, is legally a crime. But it is amazing that the Administration, the Congress, the military, and virtually every media source is saying that this is the first they've ever heard about it. Read the following, then watch them lie on CNN.

When, and how, exactly, does barbarism-as-usual become officially appalling, and how long will the head-rolling and buck-passing last before everything goes back to "normal" again?

Not much needs to be said here.
The police will as always be donning their Darth Vader gear...this includes objects of OFFENSE, and objects of defense.
We, as could-be revolutionaries must show that we are serious and to be TAKEN seriously.

My question is "Did he apologize to the Irish?" The Resistance to Interrogation or "R2I" techniques used by "coalition forces" in Iraq were perfected by the British against the IRA. Former British SAS and SBS "contractors" have been teaching them to US forces in Iraq, Guantanamo and elsewhere.

The president of the South Oil Company, the company responsible for the oil industry in southern Iraq, told Reuters that Saturday's attack had drastically reduced Iraq's oil exports.

"The situation is not good," Jabar al-Leaby said.

He said the attack affected flows to the al-Basra terminal.

Venezuelan authorities arrested at least 88 people they accused of being Colombian right-wing paramilitaries plotting to join Venezuelan dissidents in a bid to overthrow left-wing President Hugo Chavez.

Officials said they captured 56 paramilitaries in a farm on the outskirts of Caracas early Sunday, and later caught another 32, some reportedly wearing Venezuelan military uniforms, after they escaped to a mountainous region south of the capital.

Miguel Rodriguez Torres, chief of the police intelligence service, said the group, which he said totaled 130, had been training on the farm for a month.

Anger is amazing. It can refresh you, cleanse you, protect you, feed upon itself creating more and more anger, and it can destroy you. You can let anger control you by denying your anger. Are you angry? Do you protect yourself or put yourself in a cage? Rise above, rise up!

First GI Faces Court-Martial Over Abuse

DOWN THE MEMORY HOLE!

We have dozens of reports from firefighters and others on the scene who witnessed bombs going before and during the towers' collapse. Larry Silverstein, the owner of the World Trade Center complex, admitted in a PBS documentary that they decided to demolish Building 7 on the day of 9/11, despite the official story of it accidentally collapsing which has remained in place to this day.

This information regards post 9:00 a.m. issues in WTC2.

A pan-Iraqi group has been formed to oppose the occupation of Iraq and has immediately called for a meeting with UN envoy al-Akhdar al-Ibrahimi in a direct challenge to the country's US-appointed leadership.

(Bring 'em home NOW)

Most of us realize that war sucks, and we are not suprised about the activities going on at Abu Gharib (built by the british) We know damn well the responsibility lies with people higher up the ladder- Ultimately the Bush administration.

particularly note (sigh) the already deep set lies in 'organic seafood'

We need a organic green revolution against these bastards for all our sakes and for the planet's sake--and for the economy's sake! What they are doing is totally unsustainable!

ERWIN, Tenn. -- Shmuel Dahan and Almaliach Naor, both from Israel, were being held without bond Sunday afternoon at the Unicoi County Jail. The truck, rented from a Ryder office in Mars Hills, N.C., was being held in the county garage pending an FBI investigation, officials said.

Dahan is charged with reckless driving, littering, false identification and evading arrest, while Naor faces charges of false identification and evading arrest, an officer with the Unicoi County Sheriff's Department who would not give his name said Sunday.

Sheriff Kent Harris said he saw the men throw something from the truck while they were being pursued. Officers scouring the area later found a vial containing an unknown substance along the roadway, he said.

An investigation by the FBI is ongoing and more charges are possible, he said. A woman who answered the phone at the FBI's Knoxville office said there was no one available to answer questions about the arrest.

Help out Indymedia T.V. and have a super good time.

While the shutter captured the gruesome horror in graphic detail, it missed capturing the full scope of the incident, as did CBS. This was not an isolated incident. It was not the result of a few rogues. Rather this incident was the result of careful long-term planning. In fact Bush and every other high official of this administration approved of the torture and we have their own words on that

Almost two years ago the Bush administration tried, but failed, to kill a United Nations treaty on torture, which the U. S. hasn't and will not ratify and sign.

AG John Ashcroft picked Lane McCotter, Utah prison industry executive, to set up Abu Ghraib prison for use by occupying coalition...
Texas prisons were under a federal consent decree for having the worst abuses, according to corrections experts, while G.W. Bu$h was governor--including guards overseeing gang leaders buying and selling of inmates as sex slaves...

"The last time a nation past the Patriot Act and Home Land Security the first questions they asked were- Who is the Jew? Who is the Communist? Who is the Homosexual?"

One soldier a day, at least is dieing in Iraq. Kerry want's 40'000 more troops, Rummy asked for more troops on Tuesday, and the recent "command structure break down, and training failure", of the MP's at Abu Ghraib prison is suggesting that the Pentagon may not be using reserves for much longer.

Conflicts within protest communities are as old as history. Conservative Christian "feminists" were appalled when Alice Paul would not stop PICKETING the White House for women's votes. And I am tired of religious "peace keepers" DICTATING silence as conformist radical activism.

U.S. military police reservist Spec. Sabrina Harman, 26, has disclosed that she never read or even saw a copy of the Geneva Conventions until two months after she was charged.

She said she now understood that it was regularly breached at Abu Ghraib. "I read the entire thing, highlighting everything the prison is in violation of. There's a lot," she said in an e-mail published Saturday in the Washington Post.

The trial of Spec. Jeremy C. Sivits, 24, of Hyndman, Pa., will begin May 19 and be open to the public.

The latest pictures are in, the latest horror stories. Children raped and brutalized in front of helpless parents. People attacked with dogs, with broom handles, with unimaginable physical and psychological assaults. Sadistic sexual tortures right out of the sickest x rated snuff film. SOMEBODY FUCKING DO SOMETHING.

A new article by Seymour Hersh contains a new photo and descriptions of more U.S. atrocities:

Tony Blair admits the the Brits new 3 months ago.

"Don Rumsfeld is the best secretary of defense the United States has ever had," Cheney said in a statement from his office late on Saturday.

Cheney spokesman Kevin Kellems, a former aide to Rumsfeld, said the American public supports the defense secretary. Rumsfeld's feisty demeanor in Pentagon press briefings since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks has gained him a high public profile.

"Americans want to keep Rumsfeld on the job. Why? Because the guy in the glasses they see on TV is the guy who is protecting them by going after the terrorists. That's who he is to the average American. That's the place he's earned since 9/11," Kellems said.

I spent tonight with my mother. I took her out to dinner, then we shopped for chocolates, and she showed me the harbor where she and my father used to come for dates to watch the sun set on the ocean. We walked knowing love as it is: a star shining on the ocean, a-light of a million years ago, each other. Happy Mothers Day, my moms! Happy nonbreeders day! HUGS!
