Abu Assur Despised, disdained and ignored by millions in the world for their lies, they want to repent. Suddenly they wanted to became honorable.The white corporate journalists, to boost their dwindling and decaying audience ask Mr. President to shut Guantanamo Gulag Camp (...) The US thugs have taken a whole country, Iraq, as a hostage killing for fun humiliating its people and making out of Iraq the greatest Gulag prison in history. The ! US liberators have imposed an electronic prisoner bracelet to every Fallujah inhabitants. Iraqis became prisoners in their own country (...) You want to repair the US thugs reputation ? Start to withdraw from Iraq.

When the US administration stops lying to their people, they’ll start searching seriously for an “Exit Plan”. The US administration and other governments that took or still taking a part of the collapsing coalition should adopt a three-point Iraq Roadmap to stop the on going crisis from their side and guarantee the safety of their troops, and give the space for Iraqis to work on healing Iraq from their side too. 1- Issue a Public Apolog! y and hold responsibility for the destruction of Iraq... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=12390&s2=08>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=12390 The Secret Way to War Mark Danner, The New York Review of Books ...As Americans watch their young men and women fighting in the third year of a bloody counterinsurgency war in Iraq—a war that has now killed more than 1,600 Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis—they are left to ponder "the unanswered question" of what would have happened if the United Nations weapons inspectors had been allowed—as all the major powers except the United Kingdom had urged they should be—to complete their work. What would have ha! ppened if the UN weapons inspectors had been allowed to prove, before the US went "into battle," what David Kay and his colleagues finally proved afterward? Thanks to a formerly secret memorandum published by the London Sunday Times on May 1, during the run-up to the British elections, we now have a partial answer to that question... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=12374&s2=08>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=12374 Falluja's Schools Still In Ruins; Complaints about U.S. Forces Continue Thair al-Asaad, Azzaman Six months after the U.S. war on Falluja, many residents still live in refugee camps and students attend classes in tents. Many school buildings, like almost everything else in the city, are heaps of ruin. They are without walls, doors or windows – the outcome of U.S. bombardment and aggression. It is still hard to enter the city, as visitors must pass through U.S. checkpoints that utilize high-tech equipment to try an! d scrutinize anyone entering or leaving. I was standing in a long queue at the al-Jisir Entrance. Many students were waiting to enter the city. “Everyday we wait here for at least one hour. The city is under a curfew which ends at 8:00 a.m. U.S. troops are not nice. They try to humiliate us,” said Kahlil al-Talib, a high school student... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=12386&s2=08>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=12386 Who Cares? Dahr Jamail ... My friend also reported that after he recently visited Haditha (remember “Operation Open Market”) he found that a large number of civilians had been detained. “They even detained a friend of mine and his father because they found papers in their home about an upcoming demonstration,” he told me. Recently, the US-backed Iraqi “government” announced it had detained nearly 900 “suspected militants.” A “suspected militant” in Iraq looks more and more like anyone in the wrong place at the wr! ong time when Iraqi or US forces conduct an operation. Of course the looting of homes during raids continues along with the detentions of innocent Iraqis... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=12383&s2=08>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=12383 UK supplying over 90 per cent of arms transfers to Iraq IRNA Britain supplied over 90 per cent of major conventional weapons delivered to Iraq in 2004 following the lifting of the UN arms embargo last June, according to the latest figures from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri).

If you are scared to death to leave your fort" Imad Khadduri , Free Iraq ...The Americans have created their next Alamo. They have thousands of troops trapped in Iraq that have no function other than to be scared to death and to terrorize the population because they are so afraid of them. They have been sent into Baghdad where they are totally surrounded and cannot get out. I think the coming massacre will be remembered for all time.

Jesse, Editor - TvNewsLIES.org ...After a single question about the Downing Street Memo (with no follow up) was asked, (in between the questions about Africa - the American media suddenly sudennly discovered Africa), Bush & Blair once again repeated their rhetoric about how they went to war with Iraq only after Saddam Hussein refused to comply. COMPLY WITH WHAT? Why, after 2 years, hasn’t a single reporter asked the most obvious question of the enitire crime that is the invasion of Ira! q…WHAT DID SADAM REFUSE? Are they referring to the US imposed Catch 22 demand that he disarm Iraq of the WMD’s that IRAQ DID NOT HAVE? WHAT THE HELL DID WE GO TO WAR FOR?

"One time, we saw a huge cloud yellow smoke, which was some kind of uranium weapon. When we arrived, there was hardly anything left of the houses. There were 14 people in the houses and there was nothing left, just rubble and what looked like blended meat. I was a vegetarian for three months after that because I couldn't handle the smell of cooked flesh." He said a US radiation clean-up crew removed all the material ! from the site the next day. Though illegal under international law, the US commonly uses depleted uranium (DU) weapons because it's an incredibly strong and heavy metal.

John Kaminski ...The object of the 9/11 skeptics movement is not to gain personal fame and fortune, nor to disparage those who are not as expert as others in knowing all the trivial details of every aspect of the event (...) The object, ultimately, is to identify the true perpetrators of the greatest crime in American history, and perhaps on an even higher level, to prevent the world from being destroyed by rich and cunning white men who seek to profit from fomenting wars all over the world. W! e need to stop the bickering, and press on in pursuit of the evidence, wherever it leads.

His codefendant got a 1-year term. A captain convicted of charges in the fatal shooting of another wounded Iraqi was dismissed from the armed forces, but received no prison time. In the 27 months since the Iraq war began, at least 10 U.S. military personnel have been convicted of charges stemming from the deaths of Iraqi civi! lians.

Now. David Michael Green, CommonDreams.org ...This political cancer has yielded death, destruction, environmental wreckage, massive debt, wholesale violations of human rights, diminishment of national security, dismantling of constitutional democracy at home and widespread hatred for America abroad. And that's just the first term. It is difficult to imagine that one could ruin a country so thoroughly in just four years, but the Bush team has succeeded famously (with a good deal of help from the pre! ss, the Democrats and the public). Finally, it appears that we have in the Downing Street Memo a weapon, and with it the proper context, to end our long national nightmare. Impeachment.

All the lawyers who the Iraqi Special Tribunal have designated as legal representatives of Mr. Saddam Hussain, his family, and several internationally prominent lawyers, including Mr. Ramsey Clark, former United States Attor! ney General, have stated that no lawyer has yet had adequate access to Mr. Saddam Hussain since his detention more than a year and half ago and his due process right continue to be violated... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=12379&s2=08>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=12379 After the Downing Street Memo: The Case for Impeachment Builds Democracy Now!

This is no longer a theory or conjecture; it is a documented fact. Those in the Mainstream Media, including the New York Times and Washington Post, who choose to ignore this reality, or couch it in qualifying terms (such as "unproven assertions") are no longer trying to deb! unk a conspiracy, because the deliberate deception that forced America into war with Iraq is not a conspiracy theory... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=12365&s2=08>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=12365 <http://www.uruknet.info>www.uruknet.info: a site gathering daily information concerning occupied Iraq: news, analysis, documents and texts of iraqi resistance available in Italian and English.
