• Israel Admits Using Phosphorous Bombs in Lebanon - “Israel has acknowledged for the first time that it attacked Hezbollah targets during the second Lebanon war with phosphorus shells. White phosphorus causes very painful and often lethal chemical burns to those hit by it, and until recently Israel maintained that it only uses such bombs to mark targets or territory.”
• We Have Turned Iraq Into the Most Hellish Place on Earth - “This country has been turned by two of the most powerful and civilised nations on Earth into the most hellish place on Earth. Armies claiming to bring democracy and prosperity have brought bloodshed and a misery worse than under the most ruthless modern dictator. This must be the stupidest paradox in modern history. Neither America nor Britain has the guts to rule Iraq properly, yet they lack the guts to leave.”
• Time to Go! Inside the Worst Congress Ever - “These past six years were more than just the most shameful, corrupt and incompetent period in the history of the American legislative branch. These were the years when the US parliament became a historical punch line, a political obscenity on par with the court of Nero or Caligula - a stable of thieves and perverts who committed crimes rolling out of bed in the morning and did their very best to turn the mighty American empire into a debt-laden, despotic backwater, a Burkina Faso with cable.”
• Iraqis Were Better Off Under Saddam, Says Former Weapons Inspector - “Former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix on Wednesday described the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq as a “pure failure” that had left the country worse off than under the dictatorial rule of Saddam Hussein. In unusually harsh comments to Danish newspaper Politiken, the diplomatic Swede said the U.S. government had ended up in a situation in which neither staying nor leaving Iraq were good options.”
• German ministers ‘knew about CIA torture cells’ - “The German government is alleged to have received first-hand evidence that the CIA began torturing terrorist suspects at secret prisons in Europe shortly after the September 11 attacks, despite claiming it only knew about such sites through the media. Stern magazine quoted a leaked German intelligence report yesterday which said that only weeks after September 11 2001, two agents and a translator visited a US military prison at the American “Eagle Base” in the Bosnian town of Tuzla, where they saw a torture victim. The German intelligence report said US interrogators at the base had beaten a 70-year-old terrorist suspect with rifle butts and that “his injuries meant that he had to be given 20 stitches to the head wound he sustained”. The report said the American interrogator responsible “appeared to be proud” of his actions.”
• Now Europe Targets Bloggers As Terrorists - “Bush administration efforts to infiltrate, misdirect, regulate and pollute the Internet with Neo-Con propaganda, as well as their openly stated agenda to target American bloggers as terrorists, is now being aped by the British government across the pond as well as other major European countries. Home Secretary John Reid met with ministers from the six largest European Union countries and, according to a BBC report, “agreed to work together to make the internet a “more hostile” place for terrorists.” How will they accomplish this? By initiating a crackdown on people who use the Internet to “spread propaganda.” The very website you are now reading would be considered propaganda by these neo-fascists- no matter the fact that the criminal syndicates Bush and Blair front for are the most deceitful progenitors of lurid propaganda since the third reich.”
• War in the Dark? - “A new book in Germany is casting light on Israel’s covert program to provoke violence among Muslims in Western Europe and engage in “false flag” operations in order for Western governments to blame Muslim radicals. The book, Der Krieg im Dunkeln (War in the Dark) by Udo Ulfkotte, formerly a correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, provides details of the operations of two Israeli intelligence units — the Metsada, which specializes in sabotage, including “false flag” terrorist attacks and assassinations; and LAP (Lohamah Psichlogit), which engages in psychological warfare.”
• Review of James Petras latest book The Power of Israel in the United States
