Willem Marx, an Oxford graduate who did "media work" with the Lincoln Group in the green zone of Baghdad tells his story of creating propaganda and spinning the American version of a "free press" in Iraq.

Some recent switchers are exiting GOP ranks with a bang. Distorted priorities, the federal deficit, and the Iraq war are common themes in their announcements. And in a direct swipe at the far-right ideology that has become a governing credo in the Bush years, they cite intolerance in the party as the chief reason for leaving.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/091806D.shtml

James Carroll writes: "The White House argument is straightforward: terrorists are such a mortal threat that established due process must be suspended. In particular, the classified secrets of anti terrorist operations must be so closely held that the most basic pillar of jurisprudence - the accused's right to know and respond to evidence - must be discarded. The legislation was drafted by Franz Kafka."

Paul Krugman asks, "Why is Mr. Bush so determined to engage in torture?" While George Packer writes, "he reassured the world that the United States doesn't torture prisoners in these 'black sites,' while essentially reserving the right to continue to do so. He simultaneously played the good cop and the bad cop, the principled advocate of the Geneva Conventions and the hardboiled defender of 'an alternative set of procedures.'" FYI: a timeline of wartime detention systems is included.

"President Bush's speechwriters have just about worn out their lexicon of scary words and phrases to regale us with tales of all the terrorist plots he has disrupted since 9/11," writes William Fisher. "But one word has apparently been expunged from the White House dictionary: Anthrax."

Kein "kritisches Begleiten": 10.000 Menschen demonstrierten "gegen die große Koalition der Sozialräuber" (18.09.06)

Mit einem Sternmarsch haben am Samstag in Berlin mehrere zehntausend Menschen "gegen die große Koalition der Sozialräuber" demonstriert. Zu der Veranstaltung hatte ein breites Bündnis von Teilnehmern der "Montagsdemobewegung" sowie Gewerkschaftern, Mitgliedern linker Parteien, Initiativen und Organisationen aufgerufen. Die Demonstration bilde den Auftakt für einen "heißen Herbst", der mit Kundgebungen des Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbundes (DGB) am 21. Oktober fortgesetzt werde, sagte ein Vertreter der Koordinierungsgruppe der Montagsdemonstrationsbewegung. Der allgemeine Tenor der Demonstration war den Angaben zufolge, "entschiedenen und gut organisierten Widerstand gegen die Reformen der großen Koalition zu leisten, und sich nicht mit einem 'kritischen Begleiten' dieser Reformen zufrieden zu geben. Eine solch menschenfeindliche Politik darf man nicht begleiten, sie muss bekämpft werden."

PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE ACTION PAGES IN THIS ALERT

Call Congress NOW at 888-355-3588 or 800-828-0498

There is an apocryphal tale about a child who, having failed to perform an assigned task, invented the most outlandish excuse for why he could not produce the required finished work. We cannot say if there ever was an actual child who claimed that the dog had eaten his homework. But we have its equivalent now in the current president of the United States.

The incredible world spectacle we have is this. First, the president demands that the War Crimes Act, the law of the land, be changed to accommodate the crimes that have ALREADY been committed at his direction, specifically to authorize methods of torture previously and rightfully considered verboten. If this is not a naked admission that he has broken the law in the most hideous way we don't know what is. Second, and at the same time, he is demanding that new laws enacted be to hotrod the prosecution of those he personally deems enemies of the state. What is he trying to tell the world, that those people CANNOT be convicted of an offense under our current law, but that he himself cannot ESCAPE conviction under that same law for what he has done?

Shame on any member of Congress who signs on to any of this in any part. Let us address each of these two points in turn

THE WAR CRIMES ACT MUST NOT BE CHANGED AT ALL

ACTION PAGE 1: http://www.usalone.com/wright/pnum500.php

If there was an Olympic event for hypocritical lying, the Bush administration would have no peer anywhere. But perhaps the biggest honking lie of all is that the torture of our detainees has given us any intelligence to make us safer. Indeed, it was information extracted by torture (of Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi) that was used as an EXCUSE by the Bush and Cheney that it was so drop dead critical to attack and occupy Iraq, now recognized by all with an honest bone left in their body as the greatest strategic blunder in our nation's military history. It is all contained in the Phase 2 Senate Intelligence Committee Report, which Cheney claims not to have read himself.

Those who really know interrogation know that information extracted by such means is BAD intelligence, notwithstanding the most extreme "ticking time bomb" scenario the Bush regime constantly throws in our faces. But just as they have systematically done in every other policy area without exception, those who actually know what they are talking about have here again been muscled out of government decision making. We are told for example that the military JAG attorneys were held for hours in a meeting and not allowed to leave until they signed on to the president's demands.

And now Bush directly threatens the American people by saying if they will not rubberstamp his torture program as is, he will scuttle it. That's exactly akin to a bank robber threatening to stop robbing banks unless we change the laws to his specifications. Of course it has to stop. When we have a program that is so destructive to our REAL national security it absolutely MUST stop. Maybe then, just maybe, we could get back to obtaining good intelligence of actual value. But Bush in his patented flim-flam way would make it sound like his critics would have us stop all intelligence operations to protect our families.

They have their talking point, that the law needs to be "clarified", and they are going to keep repeating it like a broken record until we all run screaming from the room. The problem is that they KNEW they were breaking international and U.S. law when they did it, in the most premeditated way, and were so warned in advance by their own attorney general in no uncertain terms. Part of the language they would now unilaterally and retroactively excise from Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions refers to "outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating . . . " At Abu Ghraib, Bush administration henchmen DESIGNED methods of treatment with the deliberate intent of being maximally offensive to their Muslim victims, most of whom were innocent of any crime whatsoever.

If war itself were not enough of an atrocity, when the depth of the horrors of World War II came to light some to the greatest legal minds ever labored to define in words what civilized people must forever proscribe, even in war. And in the Geneva Conventions they succeeded. Any who dare to violate these mutually accepted definitions of despicable behavior are guilty of war crimes on their face. We need NOT behave as monsters ourselves to protect our people. Such acts only lead to the remaining civilized people in the world shunning us as pariahs, to never again volunteer the good intelligence we really need to thwart those who mean us harm.

In fact, the Bush administration has repeatedly jeopardized intelligence operations of REAL value to score media propaganda points. The British were furious two years ago when they outed a very valuable mole in Al Qaeda, thereby doing incalculable damage to our ability to stop the bad guys. And they did it again by pressuring the British to move prematurely on the recent airline plot, related to so-called "liquid explosives" which had no chemical possibility of ever being operational. The case against those plotters and their associates is accordingly weaker than it would have been otherwise.

Keep in mind that in both the above situations informants were gained by winning people to our side. Such intelligence losses cannot be compensated for by stooping to torture methods which have the exact OPPOSITE effect.

DETAINEES MUST BE PROSECUTED UNDER CURRENT LAW

ACTION PAGE 2: http://www.usalone.com/wright/pnum501.php

The fact that the detainees HAVE been tortured is precisely the reason why the Bush administration is so determined to deny them any rights they have under current law to see the evidence against them, or to have any other protections thereunder. Secret evidence means keeping also secret their own war crimes. Either we are a nation of laws or we are not. And to butcher the law "ex post facto" (after the fact) anytime the result will not be as we would like is to render our entire legal system of no force and effect. It is to tell the world that we have laws of convenience only, and that they are subject to change without notice.

There are disreputable precedents in world history, the Star Chamber, kangaroo courts and show trials. The Supreme Court, even stacked as it is already is with Bush beholden appointees, has ruled that the military tribunals proposed are contrary to the Constitution itself, let alone statutory law. The solution is not to enact further Constitutional outrages in the Congress, perhaps in hopes of stacking a contrary deciding fifth additional vote by the time it arrives back at the Supreme Court.

The detainees must be prosecuted under existing law. To do otherwise is to send the loudest message possible to the entire world that we believe THEY HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIME FOR WHICH THEY CAN BE PROSECUTED. Some who were irrefutably innocent have already been released after years of torture, and with no apology or compensation for their ordeal. If the truly guilty cannot be found so under current law, we have no moral standing in the world left at all.

There's a ticking time bomb alright, but unfortunately it's our own current president of the United States. Day by day he becomes more pugnacious and more defiant. It is just a matter of time before he commits an atrocity in our name so heinous that no American will ever be safe ever again anywhere in the world, unless he is peacefully and swiftly removed from office.

And if a dog did eat his homework, it would have been a dog of war.

This alert is brought to you through the activism of James Wright, running for the U.S. House in the 8th Congressional district, and one of the leading progressive voices in the state of Texas. Follow the other links on the action page for Jim's own proposals of bills to REALLY protect us.

When a brave candidate steps forward in such a district as Texas 8th, shall we do anything to show him our support? If so, please also consider making a donation to Jim's campaign so he can spread the call to action message on impeachment, starting to bring our troops home from Iraq, and on so many other issues.

DONATIONS: http://www.usalone.com/wright/donations.php

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

George Bush is trying to legalize torture - not just to exempt sadistic CIA interrogators from the law, but also to exempt himself. That's because George Bush could be tried for approving torture under the War Crimes Act of 1996 - and face the death penalty.

I hope you'll take a moment to take action.

Five years after 9/11, as things increasingly sour in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Bush's public appearances get increasingly more pathetic. During Bush's August news conference a persistent reporter wouldn't let him get away with his claim that Iraq is the central front on the so-called war on terror. 'What did Iraq have to do with 9/11?' reporter Ken Herman asked. 'Nothing,' Bush said in a highly uncharacteristic moment of candor...

It's hard for members of Congress to say no to a president of their own party when he personally comes to their offices and asks for support. The rejection is harder still when the issue is terror. Five years after 9/11, no other topic cuts so close to the bone. But the three Senate Republicans who have stood their ground, forcing a standoff with the White House, have elevated this issue far beyond partisan politics and personal favors. Their outline for an interrogation and trial process for terror suspects, beyond being effective, complies with national and international law. In contrast, the president's plan is dangerous. A bill sponsored by Sens. John McCain of Arizona, John Warner of Virginia and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina would allow terror suspects to be questioned and tried without subjecting them to torture and would give them reasonable access to evidence used against them...

"Hungerstreikaktion"

Kommentar von Dirk Vogelskamp http://www.labournet.de/diskussion/arbeit/aktionen/hungern_dv.html

Aus dem Text: „…Warum sollte eine medial inszenierte Hungerstreikaktion von Menschen, die Verzicht schließlich gewohnt sind und die mit etwas mehr als 4 Euro täglich ihren Lebensbedarf decken müssen, der wohl noch unterhalb des Gammelfleischniveaus angesiedelt sein dürfte, die Menschenschinder der SPD jetzt noch schrecken? Ein selbstbestimmtes und sozialverträgliches Frühableben ist bekanntlich allen Sozialtechnikern recht. (…) Wenn schon Aktionen, spontan eingefallen und undurchdacht: warum laden wir nicht ein zu einem Tag der offenen Türen bei denjenigen, die, hochentlohnt und diätenschwer, tagtäglich in nicht zu überbietender Leichtigkeit über die Zumutbarkeit von Jobs, von Niedriglöhnen, von Zuzahlungen, von Armutsrisiken und Kürzungsmöglichkeiten schwadronieren. Hin in Bettel- und Arbeitskolonnen zu unseren Bundestagsabgeordneten nach Hause. Wie leben die, die über unser Leben debattieren, als könnte man dasselbe mit Hartz IV anständig bestreiten. Konfrontieren wir sie mit Armut, mit den unzähligen Nöten aus unserer Nachbarschaft. Begeleiten wir sie beim Einkauf – Weihnachten steht vor der Tür, drehen wir ihre Mülltonnen nach Brauchbarem um ...., sonnen wir uns in der Herbstsonne auf ihrem Rasen, nachdem wir ihn kostenfrei zu mähen angeboten haben. Trinken wir Tee und Kaffee aus der Thermoskanne mit den Familien der Abgeordneten am Straßenrand und debattieren. Lassen wir sie unseren Unmut mit Armutsmahnwachen und -gesängen und Theaterspiel ein paar Wochen spüren. Terror, Neid, wird die Blödzeitung grölen. Na und! Besuchen wir ihre Kneipen und Restaurants, schauen wir ihnen mal über die Schulter, wie’s sich so leben läßt als Abgeordneter, der über die Lebensbedingungen anderer entscheidet. Mitesseraktion statt Hungerstreik!...“

Er ist nicht bereit für einen Euro zu arbeiten und trotzdem zu frieren. Er wird den Hungerstreik erst beenden, wenn die ARGE die 30%ige Kürzung seiner Regelleistung zurück nimmt.

Pensacola News Journal

09/17/06

The Bush administration and holdout GOP senators expressed confidence on Sunday they could reach a compromise on rules for CIA interrogations of suspected terrorists. Neither the president's national security aides nor some of the lawmakers who are resisting White House pressure would say how they can reconcile their deep differences after a week of public sparring. As a result, it is unclear if Congress quickly can pass legislation authorizing aggressive methods against terrorist detainees, as President Bush wants. Congress is likely to adjourn in two weeks for the fall elections...
