uruknet.info «Ë-Ë“Ê Æ‰Ê·Ë :: information from occupied iraq :: informazione dall'iraq occupato Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Monday, 30 January 2006 Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorial board, the Free Arab Voice ...Seven bombs blasted Iraqi Christian churches in Baghdad – where five churches were targeted – Kirkuk, and Mosul on Sunday. At least nine people were reported killed in the five bombings in the occupied Iraqi capital. Three more were reported dead and six injured in Kirkuk, and another four were reported dead in Mosul. Although some media outlets sought to p! lace the blame for the attacks on the Resistance, the overtly sectarian character of the assaults were clearly not consistent with the interests of the Iraqi Resistance, which has always worked for national unity against the foreign occupation and its local stooges. The US occupation since it arrived in the country in 2003 has been promoting such sectarian features as a puppet "Governing Council" and later a puppet "Parliament" divided along sectarian lines. The US has consciously sought to turn Shi'i Iraqis against Sunnis, attempting to manipulate religious sectarian differences within the country. In response to the criminal attacks on Iraqi churches, former Iraqi Ambassador to India and Viet Nam, Salah al-Mukhtar, wrote on Sunday that the party to blame for the attacks on Iraqi churches is the same party that has been promoting sectarian division within Iraq since the start of the occupation – namely "American intelligence in cooperation with 'Israeli’ and Iranian intell! igence agencies"... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=20119&s2=31>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=20119 Al-Qaeda Propagandizes For Bush On Eve Of State of the Union Paul Joseph Watson Hot on the heels of Osama bin Laden's latest release, an audio tape that boosted George W. Bush's poll numbers despite it being described as a probable fake by bin Laden expert Professor Bruce Lawrence, Ayman al-Zawahri has popped up on the eve of the State of the Union to hand Bush all the ammunition he needs to threaten American citizens for a sixth consecutive time... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=20117&s2=31>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=20117 Torture The Innocent, Release the Most Wanted Paul Joseph Watson The hallmark of the worldwide detainee and torture camps is defined by repeated examples whereby proven top Al-Qaeda members are protected or released while completely innocent individuals are imprisoned for no reason and tortured.The Washington Post reports, For more than a decade, Osama bin Laden had few soldiers more devoted than Abdallah Tabarak (...) Tabarak was captured and taken to the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he was c! lassified as such a high-value prisoner that the Pentagon repeatedly denied requests by the International Committee of the Red Cross to see him. Then, after spending almost three years at the base, he was suddenly released. The article describes how Tabarak was a proven loyal and unceasing Al-Qaeda member with an unparalleled affinity for Osama bin Laden. Compare this to the 70-90% of Iraqis who are arrested, hooded, and thrown into prison camps for the crime of not showing their papers at checkpoints. This website has repeatedly highlighted examples of where known terrorists, even in some cases individuals who were in the throes of carrying out terrorist attacks, are ordered to be released by the US government... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=20118&s2=31>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=20118 "The Last Jews in Baghdad" Letter Writing Series Wafaa' Al-Natheema ..The "Divid and Rule" of the current American occupiers has gone farther by neglecting the notion and term of 'Moslems’ all together. Now they refer to Moslems as Shiites and Sunnis just like Joel Beinin did in your book’s forward. Imagine eliminating the word 'Jews’ and constantly referring to them as Orthodox and Reformers. I don’t think Jews would like that. It was equally disturbing, if not funny, to separate (in the statistics ab! ove) Jews and Christians from Arabs when Jews are near entirely Arabs (with very few Kurdish and Turkmen exceptions) and the vast majority of Christians are Arabs as well!! (...) Remember and never forget the fact that IRAQ is a majority Arab country including Baghdad whether the Americans, British and Israelis like to admit it or not... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=20120&s2=31>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=20120 Iraq - The Failure of the Press Bob Burnett, CommonDreams.org ...Finally, the mainstream media censures what it reports from Iraq. Michael Massing remarked ,"The abuses that US troops routinely commit in the field, and their responsibility for the deaths of many thousands of innocent Iraqis, are viewed by the American press as too sensitive for most Americans to see or read about. When NBC cameraman Kevin Sites filmed a US soldier fatally shooting a wounded Iraqi man in Fallujah, he was harassed, denounced as an! antiwar activist, and sent death threats."... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=20101&s2=31>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=20101 Rank Ignorance Reigns Paul Craig Roberts In keeping with its established role as purveyor of disinformation, Fox "News" talking head Brit Hume misreported Fox’s own poll. On "Special Report" (January 26) Hume said that 51% of Americans "would now support" air strikes on Iran. What the poll found is that if diplomacy fails, 51% would support air strikes. Can we be optimistic and assume that the American public would not regard an orchestrated failure by the Bush administration as a true diplomatic failure? ! Alas, we cannot expect too much from a population in thrall to disinformation. The "evidence" that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons consists of mere assertion by members of the Bush administration and the neoconservative media... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=20098&s2=31>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=20098 Iraq: A Mark McGwire Moment Editorial, St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Missouri) Between May 2003 and June 2004, $38 billion was allocated to the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority, which ran the government of Iraq. The money came from the United States war chest and from Iraqi oil revenues and other assets that had been frozen in U.S. banks. No one is quite sure how much of the money got spent, because the CPA didn’t keep very good records. The special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction can’t locate a lot ! of the contracts. A preliminary draft of the inspector general’s report, obtained last week by the New York Times, uncovered startling irregularities in how vast sums of cash were handled... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=20100&s2=31>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=20100 Electoral Politics and War: An Interview with Joshua Frank What the Left Can Learn from 2004 Kevin Zeese ...It’s time for the antiwar movement to step up and oppose candidates who support Bush’s war agenda. And if the Democratic candidates continue to support Bush’s ghastly foreign policies, they must be defeated until they learn. We need to monkey wrench this issue. The anti-war movement must learn from the 2004 elections where so many activists and scholars caved in and supported Kerry, simply becaus! e they saw Bush as such an extreme threat to world peace. The threat isn’t Bush’s alone; both parties have a long bloody history of employing military aggression. We aren’t going to get what we want if we keep supporting candidates whose positions we oppose. We are only going to get what we want when we start voting for what we want... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=20108&s2=31>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=20108 US journalist in video appeal Aljazeera.net Jill Carroll, the kidnapped US journalist, has appeared in a new video on Aljazeera, weeping and appealing for the release of women Iraqi prisoners.
