... The question Mr Brown must now ask himself is whether he can still allow himself to remain publicly allied to a US Administration that is so recklessly belligerent in its diplomatic conduct, so demonstrably incompetent in warfare and so irresponsibly dangerous to the peace of the world. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/

Since its launch just over a decade ago, the al-Jazeera satellite TV station has transformed the politics of the Middle East. For the first time, people in the region had access to a genuinely free and independent source of news and comment that was neither under the control of dictatorial regimes nor western states or corporations. ... But now that achievement is being put at risk. The evidence is clear that the US government is using its influence in Qatar to try to neuter the station's independence.

An Open Letter to Our Movement |

Thursday, 07 June 2007 |
Our sense of uncertainty, exhaustion, even despair, is understandable. We have worked hard yet the wars continue. Victory remains out of reach. ...
So it is time we get even more serious about challenging U.S. policy that equates war with democracy, occupation with liberation, death and destruction with human rights. Given what our government is doing in our name with our tax dollars in Iraq, in Palestine, off the coast of Iran – to name just a few places – we don’t have the right to give up. . read this article on the website of the Institute for Policy Studies

Looking Back on 40 Years of Occupation |
|
Written by Chris Hedges

Tuesday, 05 June 2007 |
|
Israel captured and occupied the Gaza Strip and the West Bank 40 years ago this week. The victory was celebrated as a great triumph, at once tripling the size of the land under Israeli control, including East Jerusalem. It was, however, a Pyrrhic victory. As the occupation stretched over the decades, it transformed and deformed Israeli society. It led Israel to abandon the norms and practices of a democratic society until, in the name of national security, it began to routinely accept the brutal violence of occupation and open discrimination and abuse of Palestinians, including the torture of prisoners and collective reprisals for Palestinians attacks. . continue reading this article at Common Dreams

This country poses no threat to our own. So why must we waste the lives of good men on a country that does not give a damn about itself? complete article: Information Clearinghouse

The voters ... chose to place into power a President (a presidential administration) that: may well have laid the groundwork for 9-11; ... is in the preparatory stages of going to war with Iran; ... condoned the systematic use of torture against prisoners; ... enacted laws (such as that of the Patriot Act) that are seriously eroding our freedoms; ... allowed the United State’s military to develop an extremely sophisticated, website-based video game (America’s Army) to be used as a recruitment device that is teaching millions (perhaps as many as nine million) of our children to kill human beings ... read the article at Information Clearinghouse

Media flunk constitutional question on war funding
If the Democrat-controlled
Congress wanted to force the Bush administration to accept a bill with
a withdrawal timeline, it didn't have to pass the bill over Bush's
veto—it just had to make clear that no Iraq War spending bill without a
timeline would be forthcoming.
