The majority of Americans now realize that President Bush is responsible for starting the war with Iraq a fact that we knew all along before the aggression took place. We wrote about the subject and we warned the American people of drastic outcomes that might not be in the best interest of the ! United States and its people... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13357&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13357 Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Sunday, 3 July 2005 Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorial board, the Free Arab Voice. In a dispatch posted at 1:15pm Mecca time Sunday, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that a short while earlier, an Iraqi Resistance martyrdom fighter drove an explosives-packed car into a gathering of US and Iraqi puppet troops in the al-Mal‘ab neighborhood in eastern ar-Ramadi, 110km west of Baghdad... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13361&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13361 Militants Groups in Iraq Name Spokesman The Associated Press Two militant groups said Sunday they have named a new spokesman to silence those who claim to speak for the insurgency. In a joint statement posted on an Islamic Web site, the Islamic Army in Iraq and the Army of Mujahedeen said they had chosen Ibrahim Youssef al-Shammari as their spokesman. The little-known al-Shammari appeared on the Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera on Sunday "to silence all those who talk in the name of the mujahedeen," the groups s! aid in a statement posted on an Islamic Web site.... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13355&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13355 TOP SECRETS: Feds increasingly classify documents KEVIN FREKING, Associated Press Writer Driven largely by ongoing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the federal government reports that the number of documents being classified jumped 10 percent last year to 15.6 million. The numbers come from the Information Security Oversight Office in its latest annual report to the president. Meanwhile, the number of pages that the government declassified continued to drop. Last year, 28.4 million pages were declassi! fied, a 34 percent drop from the previous year... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13356&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13356 Iraqi police torture Iraqi citizens (in pictures) Baghdad Dweller ... A British Foreign Office spokesman said the reports were serious. “We are aware and deeply concerned by reports of detainee abuse by Iraqi police officers and of men in police uniforms committing serious crimes, whether these men are genuine policemen or not,” (...) But no need for more reports because the Iraq government running out of ideas to deny it “These things happen.

Ken Sanders, Dissident Voice Bush's failed attempt to put the brakes on the nation's plummeting support for his fool's errand in Iraq seems an appropriate occasion for reflecting upon the Bush administration's history of lies and incompetence regarding the Iraq war. It is a colorful history, rich in duplicity and arrogance. It reveals an administration eager for war, but uninterested in such trivialities as facts or law or consequences. It also reveals an administration that had no i! dea what it was getting itself and this country into... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13354&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13354 Did Bob Novak Tell the Grand Jury or Prosecutors that Rove Told Him About Valerie Plame But Did Not Reveal Her Name? Sounds Like a Rovian "Splitting Hairs" Contrived Alibi to Us. Could be. A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS ...Just remember, Karl, it appears, betrayed the national security interests of the United States of America by outing a CIA operative who specialized in the tracking of illicit WMDs, the very reason Rove and Cheney cooked up for justifying the invasion of Iraq. Call the man a traitor, and you'd be ri! ght, it appears. The question all the time has been has been how will the pressure come on Fitzgerald to whitewash the investigation, and can he resist it?... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13353&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13353 As death toll in Iraq rises Bush promises even more war Growing U.S. anti-war movement demands ‘:Out Now!’ By Fred Goldstein, Workers World ...Bush was trying to change the subject from mass suffering to “terrorism.” But the Iraqi resistance will keep on fighting to free its country from colonial occupation. The working class and the oppressed peoples in the U.S. will continue to suffer from the consequences of this war. The only “timetable” that means anything is for total and unconditional withdrawal. And t! he only way to get it is to mobilize the people in a mass movement to stop the war... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13351&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13351 How will they get Rove off? Xymphora How will they get Rove off? Rove was one of the leakers. It will turn out he was the second one. Since you can't leak a name that has already been leaked, Rove will be off the hook. That will also take care of any possible perjury problem. The Michael Isikoff article contains the hint: "It is unclear, however, what passed between Cooper and Rove."... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13350&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13350 Iraq Beginning to Look a Lot Like Vietnam Richard Cohen, Miami Herald About two years ago, I sat down with a colleague and explained why Iraq was not going to be Vietnam. Iraq lacked a long-standing nationalist movement and a single charismatic leader such as Ho Chi Minh. The insurgents did not have a sanctuary, such as North Vietnam, which supplied manpower and materiel and leadership, and the rebel cause in Iraq -- just what is it exactly? -- was not worth dying for. On Tuesday, President Bush proved me wrong. !

An Iraqi Interior Ministry source said the ambassador, Ihab al-Sharif, was taken late on Saturday from his home in the upmarket Mansur neighborhood, just a month after taking up the post... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13348&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13348 Revealed: grim world of new Iraqi torture camps Peter Beaumont, The Observer The video camera pans across Hassan an-Ni'ami's body as it is washed in the mosque for burial. In life he was a slender, good-looking man, usually dressed in a dark robe and white turban, Imam at a mosque in Baghdad's Adhimiya district and a senior official of the Muslim Clerics Association. When I first interviewed him a year ago he was suspected of contacts with the insurgency. Certainly he supported resistance to US forces. More recen! tly, an-Ni'ami had dropped out of sight. Then, a little over a month ago, relatives say, paramilitary police commandos from 'Rapid Intrusion' found him at a family home in the Sha'ab neighbourhood of northern Baghdad. His capture was reported on television as that of a senior 'terrorist commander'. Twelve hours later his body turned up in the morgue... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13344&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13344 One-On-One Interview With Ray McGovern, Former CIA Senior Analyst Greg Szymanski ...Besides taking an active role in alerting America about a breach of ethics within the CIA and an abuse of Presidential power, McGovern never has changed course regarding his respect for the law and the importance of a President living up to the cherished words written buy our Founding fathers. "I supported the impeachment of Nixon and took heat from my liberal friends for supporting Clinton’s impeachment," said McGovern. "The alle! gations against President Bush are, in comparison, far more serious since they go to the heart of Article 1 of the Constitution and to the heart of what the Founding Fathers wanted to protect against.

Rove is a genius of monumental proportions when it comes to political strategy and winning elections. Without Karl Rove, there is little possibility that George Bush would be sending the poor and middle clas! s to the horrors of a war based on lies, killing thousands of innocent Iraqis, acting as Robin Hood's antithesis, raping the environment, deepening the divisions amongst the American people on social issues, spending the United States into bankruptcy, increasing the hatred for America around the globe, and further destabilizing an already chaotic world... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13347&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13347 The Shape of the Iraqi Resistance Paul D’Amato,& Beth Moore, Editor, Axis of Logic In his speech on June 29, President Bush characterized the Iraqi resistance forces as terrorists, often foreigners, and as evil people, who, for no apparent reason aside from the fact that they are evil, fight against U.S. forces in order to prevent what the Bush administration says it works toward in Iraq. Throughout this criminal enterprise whose beginning was officially on March 19, 2003, but which has gone on since 1991, we in! the U.S. have been told, ad nauseum, that the goal is a “peaceful, democratic Iraq.” Our forces, in order to accomplish that goal, have committed horrendous war crimes, incited sectarian antipathy and violence where none existed before, and sacrificed our children in the cause of the wholesale murder of Iraqi people and their children. This article, published in the International Socialist Review’s March-April issue, refutes with facts the lies once again told by President Bush concerning the Iraqi Resistance, and shows why the U.S., the world’s greatest military power, faces defeat in that country... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13343&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13343 America talks: but are these the real rebel leaders? Tony Allen-Mills, The Sunday Times ...“It is difficult to know which of these guys can speak with any authority,” a senior Washington official said last week. “It’s all pretty ambivalent and we have no confidence in any figure we see on the number of insurgents represented.” The talks with insurgent groups, first reported by The Sunday Times last week, were confirmed by Donald Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary, who portrayed them as part of a US effort to “rea! ch out” to opponents of the new Iraqi government... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13342&s2=04>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13342 Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Saturday, 2 July 2005 Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorial board, the Free Arab Voice. ( http://www.freearabvoice.org ) US occupation forces killed five Iraqi civilians on their way along the International Highway to Jordan, Mafkarat al-Islam reported Saturday.
