Free Iraq

VIDEO (3 min.), Lives In The Balance
 

The Abu Ghraib photos and the anti-Muslim “free speech” fraud: The release of more horrifying photographs and videos from Abu Ghraib prison sheds a revealing light on the hypocritical and genuinely sinister character of the supposed “free speech” campaign surrounding the publication of anti-Muslim cartoons in the European and international press.

The Australian Special Broadcasting Service’s “Dateline” program broadcast a number of the new images from Abu Ghraib on Wednesday. One video revealed a handcuffed man pounding his head against a metal cell door. In other pictures the same man is shown dangling upside down, smeared with his own feces. The corpse of a man who allegedly died during a CIA interrogation appears in another photograph. ...


Were Israelis involved in Abu Ghraib?


Democracy Now, History of CIA Interrogation, From the Cold War to the War on Terror: [I]f you look at the most famous of photographs from Abu Ghraib, of the Iraqi standing on the box, arms extended with a hood over his head and the fake electrical wires from his arms, okay? In that photograph you can see the entire 50-year history of C.I.A. torture. It's very simple. He's hooded for sensory disorientation, and his arms are extended for self-inflicted pain. And those are the two very simple fundamental C.I.A. techniques, developed at enormous cost.

From 1950 to 1962, the C.I.A. ran a massive research project, a veritable Manhattan Project of the mind, spending over $1 billion a year to crack the code of human consciousness, from both mass persuasion and the use of coercion in individual interrogation. And what they discovered -- they tried LSD, they tried mescaline, they tried all kinds of drugs, they tried electroshock, truth serum, sodium pentathol. None of it worked. What worked was very simple behavioral findings, outsourced to our leading universities -- Harvard, Princeton, Yale and McGill -- and the first breakthrough came at McGill.


The Insurgency Is Increasingly Optimistic About Victory
 

(English and Danish versions available)
Thomas Koppel, Denmark, Where Are You?: The fierce global, popular protests are not only against a couple of drawings and not at all against our freedom of speech. They originate in anger and despair accumulated over decades over the growing persecution of Muslims in many countries, with Denmark unfortunately notourious as a front runner; and over a genocide on Arab peoples killing close to two million men, women and especially children since 1991; and an "Ausradierung" of several sovereign nations. The Danish government and a considerable section of the parliament are actively responsible.

Some Arab regimes and groups closely linked to the US government (e. g. Lebanon, Saudi Arabia), have out of their own reasons put gasoline on the fire - and thereby distracted the protest from the more dangerous USA and Israel.

It is our government that has heavily armed troops in Iraq - not the other way around.

It is our government tha authors inhumane immigrant laws, that already before Jyllandsposten's caricatures have made Denmark despised all around the world.

It is our government, that has cooperated with the CIA about torture flights through Denmark.

It is our allies, that builds concentration camps where people of Arab nationality are being tortured and are rottening without a trial.

It is our allies that have turned Iraq, our culture's cradle, into a gigantic nuclear waste junkyard, where more than 50% of the new cancer cases are children under 5 years old.
 

Torture flights landed in UK, admit air controllers: National Air Traffic Services (Nats) confirmed that three planes with CIA tail numbers have travelled through Britain "on a number of occasions".

MPs last night seized on the letter as the first formal acknowledgement that British authorities were aware that CIA flights associated with "extraordinary rendition" have travelled through UK airspace.

They said it showed that ministers could no longer claim they had no knowledge of CIA flights that have been linked to the policy of sending terrorist suspects for interrogation in countries that carry out torture.
 

Europe's contempt for other cultures can't be sustained: Europe has never had to worry too much about context or effect because for around 200 years it dominated and colonised most of the world. Such was Europe's omnipotence that it never needed to take into account the sensibilities, beliefs and attitudes of those that it colonised, however sacred and sensitive they might have been. On the contrary, European countries imposed their rulers, religion, beliefs, language, racial hierarchy and customs on those to whom they were entirely alien. There is a profound hypocrisy - and deep historical ignorance - when Europeans complain about the problems posed by the ethnic and religious minorities in their midst, for that is exactly what European colonial rule meant for peoples around the world. With one crucial difference, of course: the white minorities ruled the roost, whereas Europe's new ethnic minorities are marginalised, excluded and castigated, as recent events have shown.

After Killing Families, U.S. Bars Iraqi Women from Visiting
 

Faiza, A Family in Baghdad: Last week was so full for me, and loaded with sorrow…
A group of ladies came from Baghdad, some I met for the first time, and the others I knew when I was in Baghdad. The business they were here for was starting the procedures of acquiring the visa to travel to the United States, to participate in the activities of the International Women's Day next March, with an American, non-governmental organization which opposes the war on Iraq, and want these Iraqi women, all of them mothers, to talk about their personal experiences during that war.

Some women came along, working with Iraqi societies for helping the residents in the devastated areas, like Fallujah, Al-Qa'aim, Ramadi, and others of the tense and hot towns, towns which still get American air raids from time to time, or get shelled by missiles aiming at the Iraqi resistance there, and of course- they hit the civilians without mercy, as a form of the punishment policy used by the occupation and the imperialism every time, everywhere, as we read the history books.

Those civilians have hot files that are worth following up:

• The widows and orphans file: those who were left behind as a result of this silly war, and now this is the responsibility of the Iraqi non-governmental organizations.

• The detention camps and prisons file: and the human rights transgressions that are taking place there, against the detainees, men and women, Iraqis and non-Iraqis. Some Iraqi non-governmental organizations are struggling to defend them, after the international organizations proved incapable of interfering to help them.
[ . . . ]

The four ladies went to the embassy to apply for a visa, the Council met them all, one by one, and looked with doubt at the ones wearing black. He asked them; when did their husbands die? And the answer was: during the war…
The result- he did not issue a visa for them, but only to the others who did not lose their families in the war…
Why? Everyone kept wondering….
Then they went back to Baghdad…
Why didn't he grant them a visa? Was he afraid they would confront the American people, talk about their experience, and embarrass the government and the American army?
 

Mohamed Younis, Records of torturing and killing of IRAQIS
 

Wayne Madsen Report, February 17-18, 2006 -- It's back to the future for Porter Goss's CIA: A United Nations Human Rights Commission panel has called on the United States to shut down its prisoner gulag at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Bush administration, which has nurtured a global "prison-industrial complex" comprised of private military contractors, CIA airline front companies operating rendition flights, secret prisons, and off-the-books slush funds from the sale of Afghan heroin on the international market, quickly rejected the UN's call for terminating the Guantanamo prison.

More details are emerging about the CIA's new secret aircraft operations from U.S. and European intelligence sources.
[ . . . ]

There is interest by U.S. intelligence agents in the activities of a California and Geneva, Switzerland-based “humanitarian” aircraft and telecommunications services company that was active in providing various “services” during Taliban/Al Qaeda joint control of Afghanistan and continues to provide similar “services” in Hamid Karzai’s Afghanistan. The non-profit company is linked to a “Christian” aviation operation that was been linked to the Contra wars in Central America in the 1980s as well as Pat Robertson’s Operation Blessing.

U.S. intelligence sources report from Afghanistan that aircraft bearing the markings of the California/Geneva firm are being used to ferry around Afghan tribal leaders and export high-grade Afghan heroin. Opium exports, which is at record production levels in Afghanistan, are being used to supplement Porter Goss’s agency’s off-the-books operations, in much the same way that cocaine was used to support various Contra and other Central American covert operations in the 1980s.
[ . . . ]

Some of CAM’s Central American operatives worked closely with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) of Redlands, California. One such operative was the head of the Campus Crusade for Christ in Nicaragua, Jimmy Hassan. Appearing on Robertson’s 700 Club in 1985 with exaggerated claims of Sandinsta repression, Hassan became a cult hero for the Religious Right.

CAM and MAF are linked to a variety of Christian Right organizations in the United States. Some veterans of MAF and CAM in the Central American wars are now active in Afghanistan operations – activities that are worrying to U.S. intelligence agents who believe that under Goss, the CIA is opening its doors to religious zealots, war profiteers, and neo-con opportunists.

The following is a comprehensive list of the flights of the Guantanamo Bay Express Boeing 737 (former N313P), which is now owned by a Miami company with ties to the GOP. Note that some of the stops are far from the "war on terror" -- Turks and Caicos Islands, Fiji, Las Vegas, Geneva, New Orleans, Romania, Macedonia, Palma de Mallorca, Cyprus, etc. Not much terrorism but all are likely stops for planes running drugs out of Afghanistan and other drug transit points.

James Blunt - No Bravery Lyrics -
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Heather Wokusch, WWIII or Bust: Implications of a US Attack on Iran: Witnessing the Bush administration's drive for an attack on Iran is like being a passenger in a car with a raving drunk at the wheel. Reports of impending doom surfaced a year ago, but now it's official: under orders from Vice President Cheney's office, the Pentagon has developed "last resort" aerial-assault plans using long-distance B2 bombers and submarine-launched ballistic missiles with both conventional and nuclear weapons.
 

Charley Reese , What Bush Is Up To: One of the goals is to replace the present Syrian government with one the administration hopes will be more pliable in its policy toward Israel. Another is to construct four permanent bases in Iraq, and that means the administration has no intention of ever withdrawing all U.S. forces. The third goal is to attack Iran's nuclear facilities from the air.

Self-Described Economic Hit Man: “We Have Created the World’s First Truly Global Empire”: [W]e use many techniques, but probably the most common is that we'll go to a country that has resources that our corporations covet, like oil, and we'll arrange a huge loan to that country from an organization like the World Bank or one of its sisters, but almost all of the money goes to the U.S. corporations, not to the country itself, corporations like Bechtel and Halliburton, General Motors, General Electric, these types of organizations, and they build huge infrastructure projects in that country: power plants, highways, ports, industrial parks, things that serve the very rich and seldom even reach the poor. In fact, the poor suffer, because the loans have to be repaid, and they're huge loans, and the repayment of them means that the poor won't get education, health, and other social services, and the country is left holding a huge debt, by intention. We go back, we economic hit men, to this country and say, “Look, you owe us a lot of money. You can't repay your debts, so give us a pound of flesh. Sell our oil companies your oil real cheap or vote with us at the next U.N. vote or send troops in support of ours to some place in the world such as Iraq.” And in that way, we've managed to build a world empire with very few people actually knowing that we've done this.

Bombs kill 19 in Iraq after lull: The bloodiest attack took place in the Kadhimiya district of central Baghdad, where a suicide bomber strapped with explosives climbed aboard a bus and blew himself up, killing at least 12 people, Interior Ministry sources said.

The violence reminded Iraqi politicians of the security crisis they will face after forming a new government, a process that has yet to kick off more than two months after elections that Washington had hoped would ease sectarian strife.

In unusually strong language, U.S. ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad warned Iraqi leaders that Washington would not tolerate sectarianism or militias in the new government and its security forces.

"The ministers of interior, defense, national intelligence, the national security adviser have to be people who are non- sectarian, broadly acceptable, non-militia-related that will work for all Iraqis," he told a news conference.

"The United States is investing billions of dollars into these forces, military and police forces of Iraq. American taxpayers expect their money to be spent properly. We are not going to invest the resources of the American people into forces run by people who are sectarian..."

New Iraqi Unity Coalition Imperils Shiites' Prime Minister Pick (On which Juan Cole comments: As regular readers know, I find the idea that a large coalition of Kurds, Sunnis, Secularists and religious Shiites could be formed that outmaneuvered the United Iraqi Alliance implausible. It would require that secular Kurds dedicated to taking over Kurkuk cooperate with fundamentalist Sunni Arabs only one step away from al-Qaeda (and who object to Kirkuk joining Kurdistan) and with unreconstructed Baathists. That would go over well in Halabja. And then they have to draw in a big bloc of religious Shiites, as well. If all Sunni Arabs and all Kurds voted together with the Allawi list,they'd need some 45 Shiites to defect to have the 2/3s needed to elect a president.)
 

Wayne Madsen (20 Feb.): "With Dick Cheney's recent episode in Texas, there it is all too clear that our nation is in the hands of two alcoholics, one with attention deficit disorder and the IQ of a newt and the other an irresponsible lout who engages in constant bickering with officials inside and outside the administration."
 

Wayne Madsen Report, February 20, 2006 -- The editor is posting some documents from the older archives: The first is on the contracting out of covert aviation operations by the federal government.
The contracting out of various covert operations to private contractors helped create the current U.S.-government sanctioned aviation-narcotics complex that has found new business in the "global war on terror."

Contracts like Dyncorp's, issued in 1996 for counter-narcotics "services" in Latin America, kept the global network of aircraft contractors, expatriates, and foreign contractor ne'er do-wells, which fully began operations during the Vietnam War and continued through Iran-Contra, intact. The Bush administration has given these contractors a free ride to engage in their old tradecraft unchallenged by the DEA or FBI.

The second is an excerpt from an unpublished monograph written just after the 9-11 attacks. It predicted the assault on the independent media by the Pentagon, citing its own doctrine at the time. Since November 2001, the censorship, information embargoes, wiretapping, and surveillance has reached monumental proportions.

Washington whispers have it that this web site has gone from "annoyance" to "threat" as far as Porter Goss's minions at Langley are concerned. In any event, this "annoyance and/or threat" will continue to expose the machinations of the neo-con dictatorship that has taken over the United States and its organs of government.*

The third is on the Bush administration's initial diplomatic and economic relationship with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the very same regime that was said to be harboring Al Qaeda, which was putting the finishing touches on the 9-11 attacks. Note that President Bush even took possession of a gift carpet from an emissary of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. The disposition of the carpet has been held a closely guarded secret by White House Gift Office. Note how when the Democrats controlled the Senate during a short window of opportunity in 2002, they failed to investigate the Bush-Enron-UNOCAL ties to the Taliban. The number one culprit was Joe Lieberman.

With Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez recently telling Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice "don't mess with me girl," it is interesting to revisit the Bush administration's involvement in the attempted coup against Chavez in April 2002.

Gideon Levy, A Chilling Heartlessness; As Israel's Hamas Team Laughs: The Hamas team had not laughed so much in a long time. The team, headed by the prime minister's advisor Dov Weissglas and including the Israel Defense Forces chief of staff, the director of the Shin Bet and senior generals and officials, convened for a discussion with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on ways to respond to the Hamas election victory. Everyone agreed on the need to impose an economic siege on the Palestinian Authority, and Weissglas, as usual, provided the punch line: "It's like an appointment with a dietician. The Palestinians will get a lot thinner, but won't die," the advisor joked, and the participants reportedly rolled with laughter. And, indeed, why not break into laughter and relax when hearing such a successful joke? If Weissglas tells the joke to his friend Condoleezza Rice, she would surely laugh too.

Kurt Nimmo, Chávez to Rice: Mess with Venezuela, Forget Oil: [W]hen SS Condi Rice mentions “democracy” in Venezuela, we have a pretty good idea of what she is talking about—undermining and eventually overthrowing the democratically elected government of Hugo Chávez. For the neoliberals and neocons, Chávez stands in the way of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (or “free trade,” as in freedom for globalist transnational corporations and international bankers and loan sharks to loot and pillage the natural resources, including Venezuela’s oil, of the Americas). In an effort to demonize Chávez, SS Rice “said that Venezuela and Cuba are ’sidekicks’ of Iran and dangers to Latin American democracies,” in other words, for the Straussian neocons, Venezuela is a junior partner of the axis of evil and will be attacked in similar fashion. “Rice also made reference to suspicions that Venezuela was linked to a recent political crisis in Nicaragua,” the Post Chronicle reports. Nicaragua, of course, was brutally attacked by Reagan neocons through their Contra proxy, resulting in the murder of 30,000-50,000 innocent Nicaraguans in the 1980s (while U.S. supported death squads in neighboring El Salvador and Guatemala claimed the lives of 70,000 and 100,000 respectively).

Michel Chossudovsky, "Mediating in the Nuclear Weapons Proliferation Crisis in Iran": Ambiguous Appeal by NGOs and Nobel Laureates: The Appeal to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan signed by Nobel Laureates and NGOs (see below) tacitly places the blame on Iran.

It describes the showdown with Tehran as a "Conflict between Iran and the West". While the Appeal focuses on Iran's non-compliance, the role of the United States and Israel, which are preparing to bomb Iran goes unmentioned.

"The Commission would request the Iranian government to suspend enrichment of uranium and other research activities relating to the field of nuclear technology during the period of its deliberations, in the sense of a moratorium. All conflicting parties would be called upon to desist from making any kind of threats aimed at each other."

The Appeal somehow suggests that the threats are in a sense "symmetrical" between the "conflicting parties". While Iran is identfied as a "conflicting party", the names of other "conflicting parties" go unmentioned. The Appeal demands a Moratorium on the part of Iran, but it fails to call on the US to implement a moratorium in its Middle East war agenda.

It does not envisage any meanignful actions within the Commission's terms of reference pertaining to the proposed US led aerial bombing of Iran. Nor does it address the fact that Washington has not ruled out the use of tactical nuclear weapons against Iran in retaliation for its "non-compliance".

The terms of reference of the proposed UN sponsored Mediation Commission are one sided. They do not address the dangers of US sponsored nuclear war.

Joshua Frank, The Antiwar Movement Must Work Outside This Corrupt Party; Cindy Sheehan's Message to the Democrats: Activists shouldn't get bogged down in the Democrat's web of power and deceit. They should instead stick to their cause and fight for what they believe in. Lesser-evil politics can only damage social movements and pro-war politicians like Sen. Feinstein will only respond to the antiwar movement when it starts to turn its back on the Democratic Party and their unwillingness to oppose the occupation of Iraq. Until then the Democrats will simply take antiwar voters for granted as they did during John Kerry's sour presidential bid in 2004.

Cindy Sheehan is a leading voice of sanity in this age of war and disparity and her message to the Democratic Party is a poignant one -- until you oppose this war we will continue to oppose you.
