Every soldier, sailor, Marine or airman who dies, is wounded for life or otherwise scarred by this useless exercise in political fascism, certainly evokes pity but for those vicious swine who plotted this war and who have kept it going without any plan to end it, should be taken out and shot in public...in batches of ten and without the benefit of clergy. How many fucking times have we killed al-Qaida's No. 3?

The European Union is proposing to suspend voting rights from any country it finds to have supported the alleged United States' torture camps. McClellan added that there is no greater proof that "by liberating people in Afghanistan and Iraq --some 50 million people-- no one has done more when it comes to human rights than the United States of America," and he said the people of the United States agree with him?

While refusing to respond to reports of secret prisons and transport of detainees in Europe, officials insist that US actions are in compliance with US law and international conventions. US law prohibits secret prisons on US territory.
Elizabeth Cheney, a senior state department official and daughter of the vice president, told Arab reporters this week that “a new set of rules” was required when dealing with an enemy like al-Qaeda. European concerns have been exacerbated by the Bush administration’s efforts to exempt the CIA from proposed US legislation that would prohibit the “cruel, inhumane and degrading” treatment of detainees.

Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch — the U.S. military's top spokesman in Baghdad — defended the program because the Al Qaeda murder gang's local thug-in-chief, Abu Musab Zarqawi, "is lying to the Iraqi people" through the media. According to Lynch, the United States doesn't lie. "We don't need to lie. We do empower our operational commanders with the ability to inform the Iraqi public, but everything we do is based on fact."
It began with the willful misrepresentation of intelligence on Saddam Hussein's weapons programs and then proceeded through the cover-up and justification of torture and abuse of prisoners, to the deliberate suppression of information concerning Iraqi civilian casualties that now appear to number in the tens of thousands.

One relief worker in the region said an angry resident berated a Corps of Engineers employee before delivering a threat to the effect of "I'm going to go get my gun, and I'm going to kill you." Federal agents have arrested six people in the New Orleans area in recent weeks for making threats against FEMA workers, who have been advised against wearing clothing with the agency logo in public. ¶ 3.12.05
