Tabliq official Shiekh Abdi-kheyr Isse said the Ethiopians had "slaughtered" the clerics.
"The Ethiopians surrounded al-Hidaya Mosque on Sunday and killed [the] mullahs mercilessly, including Sheikh Sa'id, the chief of the group in southern Somalia," he said.
Local resident Yahye Sheikh Muse said he had seen the dead bodies of three of his neighbours after the fighting.
More than 100 people have been injured.

"I could not venture out, even to check next door, where my mother was bleeding because of a gunshot wound on her leg," he told the BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan.

US paid killing
Health workers said that civilians appeared to have borne the brunt of the violence with scores of wounded patients being treated at hospitals across the city.
Husein Gutale, director of Mogadishu's Deynile hospital, said: "So far, we received 51 civilians with injuries and two of them died, a woman and a young boy."
Another medical worker told the Reuter news agency: "A mortar shell landed on a house just behind SOS [Save Our Souls] hospital, killing an old man and seriously wounding his wife along with her three children.
"As we were running to help this family, we saw an unidentified dead man lying on the ground."
Sunday's fighting broke out in streets still littered with the uncollected bodies of the victims from Saturday's violence.
One witness said he saw the bodies of four men near the main livestock market, but said that no one had dared to take the bodies away "because the whole place is under Ethiopian siege".

Ethiopian troops helped the Somali military force the Islamic courts union movement out of the capital and much of the south of the country in late 2006. They have been deployed there ever since.
Residents have continued to flee the city as the government has struggled to impose its authority amid near daily attacks by Islamist fighters and local clans.
Up to 68,000 people are believed to have left since the beginning of the year.

China and America: The Tibet Human Rights PsyOp
The human rights issue has become the centerfold of media disinformation.
China is no model of human rights but neither are the US and its indefectible British ally, responsible for extensive war crimes and human rights violations in Iraq and around the World.
The US and its allies, which uphold the practice of torture, political assassinations and the establishment of secret detention camps, continue to be presented to public opinion as a model of Western democracy to be emulated by developing countries, in contrast to Russia, Iran, North Korea and the People's Republic of China.

Human Rights "Double Standards"
While China's alleged human rights violations in relation to Tibet are highlighted, the recent wave of killings in Iraq and Palestine are not mentioned.
The Western media has barely acknowledged the Fifth "anniversary" of Iraq's "Liberation" and the balance sheet of the US sponsored killings and atrocities perpetrated against an entire population, in the name of a "global war on terrorism".
There are more than 1.2 million Iraqi civilian deaths, 3 million wounded.
The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) indicates a figure of 2.2 million Iraqi refugees who have fled their country and 2.4 million "internally displaced persons":
"Iraq’s population at the time of the US invasion in March 2003 was roughly 27 million, and today it is approximately 23 million.
Elementary arithmetic indicates that currently over half the population of Iraq are either refugees, in need of emergency aid, wounded, or dead." (Dahr Jamail, Global Research, December 2007)

The Geopolitical Chessboard
There are deep-seated geopolitical objectives behind the campaign against the Chinese leadership.
US-NATO-Israeli war plans in relation to Iran are at an advanced state of readiness.
China has economic ties as well as a far-reaching bilateral military cooperation agreement with Iran.
Moreover, China is also an ally of Russia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in the context of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Since 2005, Iran has an observer member status within the SCO.
In turn, the SCO has ties to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), an overlapping military cooperation agreement between Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan.
In October of last year the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) signed a Memorandum of Understanding, laying the foundations for military cooperation between the two organizations.
This SCO-CSTO agreement, barely mentioned by the Western media, involves the creation of a full-fledged military alliance between China, Russia and the member states of SCO/CSTO.
It is worth noting that the SCTO and the SCO held joint military exercises in 2006, which coincided with those conducted by Iran.

In the context of US war plans directed against Iran, the US is also intent upon weakening Iran's allies, namely Russia and China.
In the case of China, Washington is seaking to disrupt Beijing's bilateral ties with Tehran as well as Iran's rapprochement with the SCO, which has its headquarters in Beijing.
China is an ally of Iran.
Washington's intention is to use Beijing's alleged human rights violations as a pretext to target China, an ally of Iran.
In this regard, a military operation directed against Iran can only succeed if the structure of military alliances which link Iran to China and Russia is disrupted.
This is something which German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck understood in relation to the structure of competing military alliances prevalent prior to World War I.
The Triple Alliance was an agreement between Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy formed in 1882.
In 1907, an Anglo-Russian agreement paved the way for the formation of the Triple Entente made up of France, the U.K. and Russia.
The Triple Alliance ultimately came to an end in 1914, when Italy withdrew from the alliance and declared its neutrality, thereby paving the way for the outbreak of World War I.
History points to the importance of competing military alliances.
In the present context, the US and its NATO partners are seaking to undermine the formation of a cohesive Eurasian SCO-CSTO military alliance, which could effectively challenge and contain US-NATO military expansionism in Eurasia, combining the military capabilities not only of Russia and China, but also those of several former Soviet republics including Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan Uzbekistan and the Kyrgyz Republic.

Inside Nike's Sweatshops
T he current strike wave in Vietnam can be traced to a seemingly benign statement by Adidas officials last year, attempting to explain a sharp increase in profitability.
Since the German shoe giant's acquisition of the Reebok brand, it gained new leverage over supplier factories.
This predatory relationship with the mainly Taiwanese and S. Korean sports shoe manufacturers collided with a rising rate of inflation, bringing the near-subsistence wage to a level workers would not tolerate.
The largest indirect employer of Vietnamese workers is the Nike brand. Last December, the company told producers of a U.S. television documentary that there had recently been 10 strikes in its 35 supplier factories; since that time, 31,000 more contract-workers have launched strikes — one over forced overtime and the other for higher pay.
Indeed, fully 85% of strikes in Vietnam have taken place in foreign-investment factories producing for export, according to government figures.
The documentary aired by CNBC went on to quote observers averring that Nike was the corporate-responsibility "gold standard" amongst shoe and apparel companies.
How to explain this paradox?
A good bit of the problem is related to how the "sweatshop" story has been (mis)reported over the last decade.
When Hannah Jones, the top CSR person at Nike had to deal with the wages question, she merely scolded the CNBC reporter for asking: "there is no magic wand" and, "we don't think there's anything, you know, that you can suddenly do overnight like flipping the switch and artificially hiking wages in factories."
The truth of the matter is that this former BBC staffer almost never has to deal with the media and it is extremely rare for the company to be asked about wages paid to its 900,000 mostly-Asian contract employees.
The triumph of PR/Corporate Social Responsibility is "re-defining 'success.'"
For example, Nike won an award last month for producing the "best CSR report," according to a recent "news" story.
Indeed, Ms. Jones spends her days holding court, so to speak, as THE top global practitioner in the burgeoning CSR field, addressing audiences all over the world on corporate citizenship.
The triple bottom line, incentivizing suppliers and creating systemic changes.
She's a rock star in the PR/CSR biz.
With such a strike wave going on, one would think that Ms. Jones would be more earnest — rather than patronizing and dismissive. (And non-responsive, it must be said.)
The documentary team left the real story on the cutting-room floor — brave workers standing up to brutal bosses in a system with no tolerance for independent unions.
They had interviewed workers sacked — and jailed overnight — for leading the forced overtime strike but did not use it in the nine-minute segment on Nike's Vietnam suppliers.
A few months ago on the day before I arrived in Vietnam to talk with workers, four leaders of the banned "United Workers & Farmers Organisation" were convicted of "posting to a reactionary web-site, abusing democracy and spreading distorted information to undermine the state" — the UFWO founder, Doan Van Dien, received a 4-year sentence.
At the factory which had a strike in April, twenty were forced to resign (meaning that they do not receive severance pay) and four were detained by security forces for passing out leaflets urging workers to hold out for the 20% raise they demanded instead of accepting a Party-run union agreement with management providing only 10%.
There could be many more disciplined for leading the resistance; the only information that I have comes from these two factories.
Hopefully, the more courageous bloggers in that part of the world will soon begin to act as a conduit for information about fired activists and we can begin some cross-border solidarity efforts.

This is the reality of current US interrogation techniques — they sometimes result in death.
Then they are considered torture.
Hung by your wrists for an extended period, gagged, and beaten so harshly that you have almost 30 rib fractures and a broken sternum, but still alive?
No major organ failure?
Not torture, according to John Yoo and our administration has stated it concurs.
Receiving zero medical care.
Actually losing consiousness and "becoming pulseless" while still hanging.
Feeling your broken ribs slice into your lungs, the skin falling off your wrists where the handcuffs are supporting your weight.
Repeatedly shitting yourself.

Iraqi In Custody Tortured To Death
After the shock of the abuse photos, there's a worse new allegation against US troops.
Spiegel TV has acquired written and oral documentation indicating that a 47 year old Iraqi was tortured to death in American custody. The Americans are alleged to have attempted to cover the case up.
Der Spiegel/Information Clearing House
May 15 2004 Spiegel TV Exclusive (Translated by S.B.)
05/15/04 — Berlin - The case of Asad Abdul Kareem Abdul Jaleel was pure routine for the American troops.
After the 47 year old family father died on the US military base Al Asad west of the town of Khan al Baghdad in US custody on January 9th 2004, an American doctor filled out a death certificate.
Apparently without doing an examination, and according to the documents, without performing an autopsy, the pathologist Luis A. Santiago wrote that the man had died in his sleep.
The US troops handed the body, including the death certificate, over to the International Red Cross shortly thereafter.
American troops had previously arrested the respected family patriarch on an open road and taken him to the American military base Al Asad west of the town of Khan al Baghdad.
Ostensibly there was suspicion that he belonged to the Iraqi resistance.
The soldiers are alleged to have put enormous pressure on Asad Abdul Kareem Abdul Jaleel in the base prison.
Another prisoner gave Spiegel TV a detailed description of how the 47 year old was tortured in a sadistic manner for five days.
The witness says that the soldiers also took photographs of the abuse.
Asad Abdul Kareem Abdul Jaleel died in US detention on January 9th of this year.
However, there are grave doubts about the version that claims his death to have been from natural causes.
An Iraqi forensic pathologist who took the body over from the US armed forces confirmed to Spiegel TV in Baghdad that he diagnosed definite torture marks on the body of the deceased.
In addition, photos of the deceased confirm that contrary to the US documentation, an autopsy had been performed on the man.
The scars on the torso indicate that Western doctors did the autopsy.
Deep Dark Bruises on the Entire Body
Even a layman can easily recognize the obvious effects of violence on the pictures of the body: Large, dark bruises that could come from beatings can be seen on both sides of the body.
On the wrists and ankles there are bruises, which presumably date back to many days of captivity.
There are bruises from beatings or other forms of violent impact on the back.
Other lacerations on the upper body point to injuries which can hardly be called "natural".
If the suspicious facts against the US troops turn out to be true, the US torture scandal would take a dramatic turn.
If the charges hitherto were about violent abuses of prisoners and humiliating methods of interrogation, the investigation would now have to include failure to give assistance, manslaughter, or even murder.
The participating soldiers and their commanding officers could be harshly punished, and the US army in Iraq would be exposed to even more hate and desire for revenge than they already are.
Although there are already a number of investigations being carried out about unclarified deaths in Iraq, and also in Afghanistan, — the army insists that in none of the cases can the guilt of the soldiers be proven.
According to the research of Spiegel TV, the case of the family father Jaleel in occupied Iraq is not a rarity.
Employees of the Forensic Pathology Institute in Baghdad confirm that among the bodies that the International Red Cross has handed over to them on behalf of the Americans there are always victims of torture.
However, the Iraqi pathologists are forbidden to do their own investigation as long as there is an American death certificate — even if the information about the cause of death is obviously false.
The US Army Remains Silent
About five bodies with US Armed Forces death certificates are handed over every week in Baghdad alone, according to the employees of the Institute.
The established practice of the Americans is to declare bodies that come from the prison at Abu Ghuraib as victims of grenade attacks on the camp.
This was the case with the bodies of 26 detainees last week, even though only some of the bodies showed injuries typical of grenade attacks, the employees said.
Meanwhile in the case of the 47 year old Asad Abdul Kareem Abdul Jaleel, there appears to be an internal investigation of the US troops going on.
Witnesses report that they have been questioned by US soldiers about the procedures on the American military base Al Asad.
Spiegel TV has been attempting to get a statement from the responsible authorities of the army in Baghdad for several days.
Up to now, however, all written as well as oral questions remain unanswered.

| Opinion — Chief Deputy Medical Examiner This 47-year-old White male died of blunt force injuries and asphyxia. The autopsy disclosed multiple blunt force injuries, including deep contusions of the chest wall, numerous displaced rib fractures, lung contusions, and hemorrhage into the mesentery of the small and large intestine. An examination of the neck structures revealed hemorrhage into the strap muscles and fractures of the thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone. According to the investigative report provided by U.S. Army CID, the decedent was shackled to the top of a doorframe with a gag in his mouth at the time he lost consciousness and became pulseless. The severe blunt force injuries, the hanging position, and the obstruction of the oral cavity with a gag contributed to this individual's death. The manner of death is homicide. |

"The Military is Nowhere; the Press is Nowhere; the Congress is Nowhere...
By SEYMOUR HERSH
We've Been Taken Over By a Cult |
A bout what's going on in terms of the President is that as virtuous as I feel, you know, at The New Yorker, writing an alternative history more or less of what's been going on in the last three years, George Bush feels just as virtuous in what he is doing.
He is absolutely committed — I don't know whether he thinks he's doing God's will or what his father didn't do, or whether it's some mandate from — you know, I just don't know, but George Bush thinks this is the right thing.
He is going to continue doing what he has been doing in Iraq. He's going to expand it, I think, if he can.
I think that the number of body bags that come back will make no difference to him.
The body bags are rolling in.
It makes no difference to him, because he will see it as a price he has to pay to put America where he thinks it should be.
So, he's inured in a very strange way to people like me, to the politicians, most of them who are too cowardly anyway to do much.
So, the day-to-day anxiety that all of us have, and believe me, though he got 58 million votes, many of the people who voted for him weren't voting for continued warfare, but I think that's what we're going to have.
It's hard to predict the future.
And it's sort of silly to, but the question is: How do you go to him?
How do you get at him?
What can you do to maybe move him off the course that he sees as virtuous and he sees as absolutely appropriate?
All of us — you have to — I can't begin to exaggerate how frightening the position is — we're in right now, because most of you don't understand, because the press has not done a very good job.
|
The Senate Intelligence Committee, the new bill that was just passed, provoked by the 9/11 committee actually, is a little bit of a kabuki dance, I guess is what I want to say, in that what it really does is it consolidates an awful lot of power in the Pentagon — by statute now.
It gives Rumsfeld the right to do an awful lot of things he has been wanting to do, and that is basically manhunting and killing them before they kill us, as Peter said.
"They did it to us. We've got to do it to them."
That is the attitude that — at the very top of our government exists.
And so, I'll just tell you a couple of things that drive me nuts.
We can — you know, there's not much more to go on with.
I think there's a way out of it, maybe.
I can tell you one thing.
Let's all forget this word "insurgency".
It's one of the most misleading words of all.
Insurgency assumes that we had gone to Iraq and won the war and a group of disgruntled people began to operate against us and we then had to do counter-action against them.
That would be an insurgency.
We are fighting the people we started the war against.
We are fighting the Ba'athists plus nationalists.
We are fighting the very people that started — they only choose to fight in different time spans than we want them to, in different places.
We took Baghdad easily.
It wasn't because be won.
|
We took Baghdad because they pulled back and let us take it and decided to fight a war that had been pre-planned that they're very actively fighting.
The frightening thing about it is, we have no intelligence.
Maybe it's — it's — it is frightening, we have no intelligence about what they're doing.
A year-and-a-half ago, we're up against two and three-man teams.
We estimated the cells operating against us were two and three people, that we could not penetrate.
As of now, we still don't know what's coming next.
There are 10, 15-man groups.
They have terrific communications.
Somebody told me, it's — somebody in the system, an officer — and by the way, the good part of it is, more and more people are available to somebody like me.
There's a lot of anxiety inside the — you know, our professional military and our intelligence people.
Many of them respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as much as anybody here, and individual freedom.
So, they do — there's a tremendous sense of fear.
These are punitive people.
One of the ways — one of the things that you could say is, the amazing thing is we are been taken over basically by a cult, eight or nine neo-conservatives have somehow grabbed the government.
Just how and why and how they did it so efficiently, will have to wait for much later historians and better documentation than we have now, but they managed to overcome the bureaucracy and the Congress, and the press, with the greatest of ease.
|
It does say something about how fragile our Democracy is.
You do have to wonder what a Democracy is when it comes down to a few men in the Pentagon and a few men in the
White House having their way.
What they have done is neutralize the C.I.A. because there were people there inside — the real goal of what Goss has done was not attack the operational people, but the intelligence people.
There were people — serious senior analysts who disagree with the White House, with Cheney, basically, that's what I mean by White House, and Rumsfeld on a lot of issues.
As somebody said, the goal in the last month has been to separate the apostates from the true believers.
That's what's happening.
The real target has been "diminish the agency."
I'm writing about all of this soon, so I don't want to overdo it, but there's been a tremendous sea change in the government.
A concentration of power.
On the other hand, the facts — there are some facts.
We can't win this war.
We can do what he's doing.
We can bomb them into the stone ages.
Bombing grown exponentially each month
Here's the other horrifying, sort of spectacular fact that we don't really appreciate.
Since we installed our puppet government, this man, Allawi, who was a member of the Mukabarat, the secret police of Saddam, long before he became a critic, and is basically Saddam-lite.
Before we installed him, since we have installed him on June 28, July, August, September, October, November, every month, one thing happened: the number of sorties, bombing raids by one plane, and the number of tonnage dropped has grown exponentially each month.
We are systematically bombing that country.
There are no embedded journalists at Doha, the Air Force base I think we're operating out of.
No embedded journalists at the aircraft carrier, Harry Truman.
That's the aircraft carrier that I think is doing many of the operational fights.
There's no air defense, It's simply a turkey shoot.
They come and hit what they want.
|
We know nothing.
We don't ask.
We're not told.
We know nothing about the extent of bombing.
So if they're going to carry out an election and if they're going to succeed, bombing is going to be key to it, which means that what happened in Fallujah, essentially Iraq — some of you remember Vietnam — Iraq is being turn into a "free-fire zone" right in front of us.
Hit everything, kill everything.
I have a friend in the Air Force, a Colonel, who had the awful task of being an urban bombing planner, planning urban bombing, to make urban bombing be as unobtrusive as possible.
I think it was three weeks ago today, three weeks ago Sunday after Fallujah I called him at home.
I'm one of the people — I don't call people at work.
I call them at home, and he has one of those caller I.D.'s, and he picked up the phone and he said, "Welcome to Stalingrad."
We know what we're doing.
This is deliberate.
It's being done.
They're not telling us.
They're not talking about it.
We have a President that — and a Secretary of State that, when a trooper — when a reporter or journalist asked — actually a trooper, a soldier, asked about lack of equipment, stumbled through an answer and the President then gets up and says, "Yes, they should all have good equipment and we're going to do it," as if somehow he wasn't involved in the process.
Words mean nothing — nothing to George Bush.
They are just utterances.
They have no meaning.
Bush can say again and again, "well, we don't do torture."
We know what happened.
We know about Abu Ghraib.
|
We know, we see anecdotally.
We all understand in some profound way because so much has come out in the last few weeks, the I.C.R.C.
The ACLU put out more papers, this is not an isolated incident what's happened with the seven kids and the horrible photographs, Lynndie England. That's into the not the issue is.
They're fall guys.
Of course, they did wrong.
But you know, when we send kids to fight, one of the things that we do when we send our children to war is the officers become in loco parentis.
That means their job in the military is to protect these kids, not only from getting bullets and being blown up, but also there is nothing as stupid as a 20 or 22-year-old kid with a weapon in a war zone.
Protect them from themselves.
The spectacle of these people doing those antics night after night, for three and a half months only stopped when one of their own soldiers turned them in tells you all you need to know, how many officers knew.
I can just give you a timeline that will tell you all you need to know. Abu Ghraib was reported in January of 2004 this year.
In May, I and CBS earlier also wrote an awful lot about what was going on there.
At that point, between January and May, our government did nothing.
Although Rumsfeld later acknowledged that he was briefed by the middle of January on it and told the President.
In those three-and-a-half months before it became public, was there any systematic effort to do anything other than to prosecute seven "bad seeds", enlisted kids, reservists from West Virginia and the unit they were in, by the way, Military Police.
The answer is, Ha!
They were basically a bunch of kids who were taught on traffic control, sent to Iraq, put in charge of a prison.
They knew nothing.
It doesn't excuse them from doing dumb things.
But there is another framework.
We're not seeing it.
They've gotten away with it.
My son lies in a casket half a world away
So here's the upside of the horrible story, if there is an upside.
|
I can tell you the upside in a funny way, in an indirect way.
It comes from a Washington Post piece this week.
A young boy, a Marine, 25-year-old from somewhere in Maryland died.
There was a funeral in the Post, a funeral in Washington, and the Post did a little story about it.
They quoted — his name was Hodak.
His father was quoted.
He had written to a letter in the local newspaper in Southern Virginia.
He had said about his son, he wrote a letter just describing what it was like after his son died.
He said:
"Today everything seems strange.
Laundry is getting done.
I walked my dog.
I ate breakfast.
Somehow I'm still breathing and my heart is still beating.
My son lies in a casket half a world away."
There's going to be — you know, when I did My Lai — I tell this story a lot.
When I did the My Lai story, more than a generation ago, it was 35 years ago, so almost two.
When I did My Lai, one of the things that I discovered was that they had — for some of you, most of you remember, but basically a group of American soldiers — the analogy is so much like today.
|
Then as now, our soldiers don't see enemies in a battlefield, they just walk on mines or they get shot by snipers, because it's always hidden.
There's inevitable anger and rage and you dehumanize the people.
We have done that with enormous success in Iraq.
They're "rag-heads".
They're less than human.
The casualty count — as in Sudan, equally as bad.
Staggering numbers that we're killing.
In any case, you know, it's — in this case, these — a group of soldiers in 1968 went into a village.
They had been in Vietnam for three months and lost about 10% of their people, maybe 10 or 15 to accidents, killings and bombings, and they ended up — they thought they would meet the enemy and there were 550 women, children and old men and they executed them all.
It took a day.
They stopped in the middle and they had lunch.
One of the kids who had done a lot of shooting.
The Black and Hispanic soldiers, about 40 of them, there were about 90 men in the unit — the Blacks and Hispanics shot in the air.
They wouldn't shoot into the ditch.
They collected people in three ditches and just began to shoot them.
The Blacks and Hispanics shot up in the air, but the mostly White, lower middle class, the kids who join the Army Reserve today and National Guard looking for extra dollars, those kind of kids did the killing.
One of them was a man named Paul Medlow, who did an awful lot of shooting.
The next day, there was a moment — one of the things that everybody remembered, the kids who were there, one of the mothers at the bottom of a ditch had taken a child, a boy, about two, and got him under her stomach in such a way that he wasn't killed.
|
When they were sitting having the K rations — that's what they called them — MRE's now — the kid somehow crawled up through the [inaudible] screaming louder and he began — and Calley, the famous Lieutenant Calley, the Lynndie England of that tragedy, told Medlow: Kill him, "Plug him," he said.
And Medlow somehow, who had done an awful lot as I say, 200 bullets, couldn't do it so Calley ran up as everybody watched, with his carbine.
Officers had a smaller weapon, a rifle, and shot him in the back of the head.
The next morning, Medlow stepped on a mine and he had his foot blown off.
He was being medevac'd out.
As he was being medevac'd out, he cursed and everybody remembered, one of the chilling lines, he said, "God has punished me, and he's going to punish you, too."
They sent me back a murderer
So a year-and-a-half later, I'm doing this story.
And I hear about Medlow.
I called his mother up.
He lived in New Goshen, Indiana.
I said, "I'm coming to see you.
I don't remember where I was, I think it was Washington State.
I flew over there and to get there, you had to go to — I think Indianapolis and then to Terre Haute, rent a car and drive down into the Southern Indiana, this little farm.
|
It was a scene out of Norman Rockwell's.
Some of you remember the Norman Rockwell paintings.
It's a chicken farm.
The mother is 50, but she looks 80.
Gristled, old.
Way old — hard scrabble life, no man around.
I said I'm here to see your son, and she said, okay.
He's in there.
He knows you're coming.
Then she said, one of these great — she said to me, "I gave them a good boy. And they sent me back a murderer."
So you go on 35 years.
I'm doing in The New Yorker, the Abu Ghraib stories.
I think I did three in three weeks.
If some of you know about The New Yorker, that's unbelievable.
But in the middle of all of this, I get a call from a mother in the East coast, Northeast, working class, lower middle class, very religious, Catholic family.
She said, I have to talk to you.
I go see her.
I drive somewhere, fly somewhere, and her story is simply this.
She had a daughter that was in the military police unit that was at Abu Ghraib.
And the whole unit had come back in March, of — The sequence is: they get there in the fall of 2003.
They reported after doing their games in the January of 2004.
In March she is sent home.
Nothing is public yet.
The daughter is sent home.
The whole unit is sent home.
She comes home a different person.
She had been married.
She was young.
She went into the Reserves, I think it was the Army Reserves to get money, not for college or for — you know, these — some of these people worked as night clerks in pizza shops in West Virginia.
This not — this is not very sophisticated.
She came back and she left her husband.
|
She just had been married before.
She left her husband, moved out of the house, moved out of the city, moved out to another home, another apartment in another city and began working a different job.
And moved away from everybody.
Then over — as the spring went on, she would go every weekend, this daughter, and every weekend she would go to a tattoo shop and get large black tattoos put on her, over increasingly — over her body, the back, the arms, the legs, and her mother was frantic.
What's going on?
Comes Abu Ghraib, and she reads the stories, and she sees it.
And she says to her daughter, "Were you there?"
She goes to the apartment.
The daughter slams the door.
The mother then goes — the daughter had come home — before she had gone to Iraq, the mother had given her a portable computer.
One of the computers that had a DVD in it, with the idea being that when she was there, she could watch movies, you know, while she was overseas, sort of a — I hadn't thought about it, a great idea.
Turns out a lot of people do it.
She had given her a portable computer, and when the kid came back she had returned it, one of the things, and the mother then said I went and looked at the computer.
She knows — she doesn't know about depression.
She doesn't know about Freud.
She just said, I was just — I was just going to clean it up, she said.
I had decided to use it again.
She wouldn't say anything more why she went to look at it after Abu Ghraib.
She opened it up, and sure enough there was a file marked "Iraq".
She hit the button.
Out came 100 photographs.
They were photographs that became — one of them was published.
We published one, just one in The New Yorker.
It was about an Arab.
The dogs did bite the man — pretty hard. A lot of blood.
This is something no mother should see and daughter should see too.
|
It was the Arab man leaning against bars, the prisoner naked, two dogs, two shepherds, remember, on each side of him.
The New Yorker published it, a pretty large photograph.
What we didn't publish was the sequence showed the dogs did bite the man — pretty hard.
A lot of blood.
So she saw that and she called me, and away we go.
There's another story.
For me, it's just another story, but out of this comes a core of — you know, we all deal in "macro" in Washington.
On the macro, we're hopeless.
We're nowhere.
The press is nowhere.
The congress is nowhere.
The military is nowhere.
Every four-star General I know is saying, "Who is going to tell them we have no clothes?"
Nobody is going to do it.
Everybody is afraid to tell Rumsfeld anything.
That's just the way it is.
It's a system built on fear.
It's not lack of integrity, it's more profound than that.
Because there is individual integrity.
It's a system that's completely been taken over — by cultists.
Anyway, what's going to happen, I think, as the casualties mount and these stories get around, and the mothers see the cost and the fathers see the cost, as the kids come home.
And the wounded ones come back, and there's wards that you will never hear about.
That's wards — you know about the terrible catastrophic injuries, but you don't know about the vegetables.
There's ward after ward of vegetables because the brain injuries are so enormous.
As you maybe read last week, there was a new study in one of the medical journals that the number of survivors are greater with catastrophic injuries because of their better medical treatment and the better armor they have.
So you get more extreme injuries to extremities.
We're going to learn more and I think you're going to see, it's going to — it's — I'm trying to be optimistic.
We're going to see a bottom swelling from inside the ranks.
You're beginning to see it.
What happened with the soldiers asking those questions, you may see more of that.
I'm not suggesting we're going to have mutinies, but I'm going to suggest you're going to see more dissatisfaction being expressed.
Maybe that will do it.
Another salvation may be the economy.
It's going to go very bad, folks.
You know, if you have not sold your stocks and bought property in Italy, you better do it quick.
And the third thing is Europe — Europe is not going to tolerate us much longer.
The rage there is enormous.
I'm talking about our old-fashioned allies.
We could see something there, collective action against us.
Certainly, nobody — it's going to be an awful lot of dancing on our graves as the dollar goes bad and everybody stops buying our bonds, our credit — our — we're spending $2 billion a day to float the debt, and one of these days, the Japanese and the Russians, everybody is going to start buying oil in Euros instead of dollars.
We're going to see enormous panic here.
But he could get through that.
That will be another year, and the damage he's going to do between then and now is enormous.
We're going to have some very bad months ahead.

Capital Crimes: Another Smoking Gun on Terror War Torture
Written by Chris Floyd
Thursday, 10 April 2008 |
From ABC:
In dozens of top-secret talks and meetings in the White House, the most senior Bush administration officials discussed and approved specific details of how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, sources tell ABC News.... Highly placed sources said a handful of top advisers signed off on how the CIA would interrogate top al Qaeda suspects — whether they would be slapped, pushed, deprived of sleep or subjected to simulated drowning, called waterboarding. The high-level discussions about these "enhanced interrogation techniques" were so detailed, these sources said, some of the interrogation sessions were almost choreographed — down to the number of times CIA agents could use a specific tactic... At the time, the Principals Committee included Vice President Cheney Former National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld Secretary of State Colin Powell CIA Director George Tenet Attorney General John Ashcroft. |
This is not just a smoking gun — it's a MOAB dropped right on the White House, confirming, yet again, what any sentient being should already know: the illegal torture tactics (yes, they are torture; and yes, they are illegal, no matter what "the Attorney General says") used on George W. Bush's Terror War captives were approved by the highest officials of the government, all of whom knew — in exacting, sickening detail — just what they were inflicting.
These cold-blooded atrocities were not restricted to "high value al Qaeda suspects" — the demure fiction that the ABC report, like most others in the mainstream media that have begun, gingerly, to delve into these crimes, still retains. As mountains of evidence has already shown, these "enhanced interrogation techniques" were used throughout the Terror War prison system, from top to bottom:
On prisoners rounded up at random in mass raids in Iraq and Afghanistan
On innocent people sold into captivity by bounty hunters
On innocent people snatched off the streets in Asia, Africa, Europe.
They've been used on "low-level prisoners" in Bagram
Diego Garcia
Guantanamo Bay
Abu Ghraib
In the brig at the Naval Weapons Station in Charleston, South Carolina
And all the other "secret prisons" and holding pens of the Terror War regime.
|
All of the atrocities and murders that have thus far come to light from the hellish pit of the Bush gulag are the direct responsibility of the "Principals," the inner circle, the Privy Council, the Star Chamber of the real American government: the "National Security State" that operates outside all law, all oversight, all constitutional legitimacy.
Yet even as the media digs out the workings of this junta, they feel compelled to offer what they believe is a fig leaf that will allow all good and decent folk to retain their sacred faith in American exceptionalism:
"Hey, we're not evil; we only torture the really bad guys, the worst of the worst, the high value al Qaeda scum.
"Torture's too good for the likes of them!"
And the sad fact is, the media mandarins are right.
American society has become so degenerate
American society has become so degenerate that the majority of people — and the entirety of the American Establishment — will now countenance torture, as long as they can convince themselves it is used only against "the bad guys."
At one time, the leaders of this nation condemned and punished the torture even of proven Nazis, on the principle that we must uphold our own humanity, and not descend to the brutish level of the most degraded among us.
But no more.
We are the degraded now.
Ruled by brutes
By deliberate torturers
Military aggressors
Mass murderers who walk the streets freely
Live in wealth and comfort
Receive public honors
Will never face justice
Never have to answer for their crimes against humanity.
If this were not so, these evil counsellors and their leader would already be subjected to the workings of the law:
|
Impeachment proceedings
Criminal investigations
Arrest
Trial.
The fact that they are not is yet another crime — a crime in which the entire political establishment is deeply complicit.
We'll say it again.
Anyone in public life who accords these criminals the slightest legitimacy is an accomplice to their crimes.
It's really that simple.
You can move toward the light
Or you can hang back with the brutes |
The object of torture is torture Aid would not be released due to opposition boycott, while paying opposition not to participate Guantanamo Hunger Strikers being tortured |

EndGame — Alex Jones, you have done the world a great favor
It has taken me until now to view this great masterpiece that chronicles the planet's true history
But I am glad for this delay as my awareness of reality, and the events that seemingly must unfold to educate humankind, have come from sentience off planet — now with this movie the circles merge
A movie par excellence, it will likely be considered the most significant in the downfall of the rich and powerful who control the world and rising politicians already in their pocket — the imprisonment of all those who seek to bring forth this horror, this enslavement of 'New World Order'

| The aim of TheWE.biz is to make us all aware that the most murderous violence and terror by far, committed by anyone, is done by The West
Violence and terror is the footprint and modus operandi of Western Government and the shadow power that operates from behind these 'elected officials'
This film helps us to focus on that reality
Indonesia's 9/11 — Exposing US government operations in the Bali Bombing

Questioning War, Organizing Resistance — Carol Brouillet Glen Clancy, from Victoria, Australia, created "Fool Me Twice" described as 'A documentary about the Australian government's lies about the East Timor massacres, the cover-up of the Bali Bombings and subsequent anti-terror laws.' The 25 year old, Clancy is Australia's Dylan Avery (of Loose Change fame). The work was originally created to be viewed online, but Clancy is working on improving the resolution for larger screen and theatrical viewing. Glen wrote (at the Fool Me Twice Blog on December 4, 2008)
To all,
After discovering 911 was an inside job, through such movies as Loose Change, Terrorstorm and Zeitgeist, I decided to investigate the Bali bombings. The evidence was overwhelming. There had been a cover-up.
As shocking as the truth may be, please keep an open mind while viewing this documentary. FOOL ME TWICE is 100% sourced. Please see reference list below. I tried to produce a documentary as true to the genre as possible, limiting opinion and simply documenting the facts.
I believe that 911 Truth is one of the most important movements of our time and exposing the cover-up of the 2002 Bali bombings can help destroy the "911/War on terror/Al-CIAda" myth.
Please help spread this information.
Kind regards,
Glen

Americans are politically paralyzed by both cognitive dissonance and by what psychologists call “learned helplessness,” the result of years of having one outrage after another foisted upon them, without there ever being any real accountability.
So, as many truthers have discovered, the most common reactions of average Americans, when presented with the facts of 9/11, are either, “My government would never do that,” or, “Okay . . . but what can anybody do about it?”

Before that he was with the City of Sacramento as a Firefighter Paramedic.
He first began working in Emergency Services in 1988 in the Sacramento area with a 911 private paramedic ambulance company.
He has 20 years experience in Emergency Services.
He earned my pilot's license in 1987, and have been recreationally flying since.
He graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Mathematics from the University of California at Davis in 1993, with 2 years of elective Engineering courses, and a Minor in Psychology.
Erik wrote a moving account of his own shift in consciousness regarding 9/11 which prompted him to start Fire Fighters For 9/11 Truth entitled: MAYDAY...MAYDAY...MAYDAY.
Here's an excerpt:
I, like most Americans, remember exactly where I was when I saw the attacks and had the overwhelming urge to take action.
I was shocked, outraged, scared and confused.
I called my Battalion Chief and asked if Seattle would be sending any teams to help.
I was a member of the MMST, and figured we would be needed and I wanted to know where to report.
Due to the nature of the incident we were not called up, and instead USAR teams, including Seattle's, were sent.
|
|
I first visited Ground Zero in October of 2001 with several firefighters from Seattle.
We went to pay our respect and show support.
We raised money for our brother firehouses and attended the funerals of our fallen Brothers.
I was deeply moved and humbled by the community support, the sheer enormity of the tragedy along with the courage and compassion of the FDNY "Brotherhood."
I vividly remember the anger, the intense desire for vengeance,the feelings of helplessness
Even though I listened to their stories for days, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain and tragedy they suffered on that day and the years to come.
I vividly remember the anger I felt, the intense desire for vengeance, and the feelings of helplessness.
I was relieved when the government identified the terrorists and satisfied that we were going to have a swift deliverance of "justice."
I've been a conservative my entire life; a registered Republican since I could vote.
I am a self proclaimed Patriot with George Washington as one of my all time heroes.
So when conspiracy theories quickly surfaced, and "Liberals" cried foul on the erosion of civil liberties, I chalked it up to their political beliefs and bitterness towards the Republican President.
I read many debunking articles — including Popular Mechanics — and watched many debunking videos including, Farenhype 9/11.
I was convinced that these "Liberals" were misinformed and were grasping at straws to discredit the "official" story.
Don't confuse me with the facts, I have my mind made up!
Like most people with strong opinions, instead of looking at all the facts, I was specifically looking for anything that supported my own beliefs.
|
|
As soon as I discovered any inaccuracy in a conspiracy claim, I wrote it off.
My father, a big city cop and Korean War veteran, loved to say, "don't confuse me with the facts, I have my mind made up!"
Well, I had my mind made up.
I told conspiracy theorists like my own Truck Officer, Lt. Earl Emerson, that they were insane if they thought anyone other than the terrorists did this.
Bin Laden confession tapes — how much clearer did they need it
Heck, we have ID cards, security camera videos, Bin Laden confession tapes — how much clearer did they need it?
The years went on and I was satisfied in my beliefs.
I even believed these "Wackos" that doubted the "official" story were distracting our country from focusing on the real threat of terrorism...
Fast forward to March of 2008.
A great friend of mine with a Business degree from West Point, as conservative and non-conspiratorial as they get, came over one night to talk about what he saw happening in the economy.
Began researching such things as economies, who is in control of currencies
He provided some disconcerting evidence that we as a nation are at risk of entering into another depression; he pointed out historical parallels where other countries, such as Germany, suffered economic collapse.
THAT was my eye opener.
I became obsessed researching things such as economies, who is in control of currencies, what causes depressions, who profits during war, etc.
So many things kept pointing to 9/11.
Another one of my dad's favorite quotes was, "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."
So, I looked at both sides and quickly noticed a pattern.
On one side, the general media ignores some of the most compelling evidence that contradicts the "official" story...
When I voiced my new opinion and concerns most of my friends listened.
Shocked that a staunch Conservative could have such a major shift
I think because they were shocked that a staunch Conservative could have such a major shift, or because they thought I had lost my mind and wanted to diagnose the cause.
|
|
Curiously, some became angry at my new questions and actually thought I was supporting Terrorists with my concerns.
Being a part of that same mindset myself only a few weeks ago, and then having a major shift in consciousness, really shook me to the core.
What has happened to our collective consciousness that we believe anyone who doubts the "official" story or what the government tells us is an enemy?
What has happened to us — are we not founded on Freedom of Speech and taught to check our Government?
Anyone who asks for the Truth is labeled a "Wacko" or "Terrorist Sympathizer?"
What has happened to us?
Are we not founded on Freedom of Speech and taught to check our Government?...
To be honest, I was asleep at the wheel, and relied on what I was being told by mainstream media.
The same media whose parent corporations, are some of the largest suppliers of weapons in this war.
Before this "awakening" I had no idea the extent of our civil liberties that had been eroded in the name of Terrorism.
I had never really wrapped my brain around what legalized torture means.
I had always claimed America was noble.
Just look at how we treated POW's during WWII and Vietnam compared to our enemies.
[Ever check out the real story of John McCain as a POW, keep investigating! — TheWE.biz]
That separated us.
We were setting the example of Human Rights to the rest of the world.
[Check out the real facts of US instigations in Central and South America! — TheWE.biz]
Sure, you'll always have individuals that will take things too far, but Government sponsored torture?
[Let's mention CIA activity across the planet since its inception, including inside the US, and other black budget US government special operations agencies! — TheWE.biz]
What has happened to our country?
What kind of example are we setting for our children, and the world?
You would be interested to learn how many of our own rights have been stripped away recently.
Look up the Military Commissions Act of 2006, John Warner Defense Authorization Act, Homegrown Terrorism Act, Presidential Directive 51.
Amazing the rights we have all lost
It is amazing the rights we have all lost in the past couple of years and very little is covered by the U.S. media.
After discovering this, I applied the "common sense" test that my Grandfather always said wasn't so common.
|
|
Why would a government so aggressively suppress truth and blatantly destroy evidence if there was nothing to hide?
Why has every testimony from sworn government and military officials that points to "prior knowledge" been stricken from the 9/11 Commission Report?
How did paper business cards, cloth bandanas, and plastic ID's that implicate the terrorists survive so neatly through jet fueled fireballs hot enough to destroy titanium and steel?
I've seen bodies burned beyond recognition, yet I have never found one that was wearing unburned clothing.
These questions alone are enough to make me risk everything for a real investigation and accounting...
When I truly realized the enormity of the effect 9/11 has had on our Rights, our Economy, our Beliefs, our Fears, our Intolerances and our Government — I felt fear, then anger, then the need to take action.
Bill Chickering said it best:
“Anger is a very appropriate and necessary response to an injustice.
“But stand back now; the truth, clearly spoken, is always your best weapon.
“Calmly spoken, it can burn a hole through the hardest heart.”
When I realized the extent of the force and attitudes working to silence those who peacefully ask questions, demand answers, and seek truth, it became clear to me that our Country is in serious trouble and I must now stand alongside those Patriots who seek Truth and Constitutional Restoration.

Richard Gage, AIA is the founding member of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth ae911Truth.org.
He has been a practicing Architect for 20 years and has worked on most types of building construction including numerous fire-proofed steel-framed buildings.
He is employed with a San Francisco Bay Area architecture firm and has most recently performed Construction Administration services for a new $120M High School campus including a $10M steel-framed Gymnasium.
Currently he is working on the Design Development for a very large mixed use urban project with 1.2M sq.ft. of retail and 320K sq.ft. of mid-rise office space — altogether about 1,200 tons of steel framing.
He has been one of the most tireless speakers on the issue of 9/11 truth, and more specifically on challenging the official narrative of the disintegration of the 3 major skyscrapers in the World Trade Center complex that took place on September 11th.
He has been lecturing widely across the US and in Canada.
Those who see his presentation rarely walk away still thinking that fires alone could have brought down the buildings.
When NIST came out with a report recently that fires were responsible for the destruction of WTC7, Richard and Architects and Engineers were quick to challenge that report.
See NY Times quotes Richard Gage on WTC7 "collapse"
Aside from the NYT's reporter and a media request from Bulgaria, the press has tried to ignore the serious criticisms that Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth has raised about their reports.
Richard Gage gives an insightful interview on major points that scientifically do not agree with the official story of 9/11.

9/11
By all accounts, the unprecedented events of September 11th, 2001 changed the way our country functions, and in turn, the world.
It is therefore critical that conscientious Americans, as well as people around the globe, understand these events in detail.
Unfortunately the official reports, including The 9/11 Commission Report and the NIST WTC Report, written by those working under the direction of the Bush Administration, have been proven to be elaborate cover-ups.
Film: 9/11 Revisited
September 11th Revisited is perhaps the most riveting film ever made about the destruction of the World Trade Center.
This is a powerful documentary which features eyewitness accounts and archived news footage that was shot on September 11, 2001 but never replayed on television.
Featuring interviews with eyewitnesses & firefighters, along with expert analysis by Professor Steven E. Jones, Professor David Ray Griffin, MIT Engineer Jeffrey King, and Professor James H. Fetzer.
This film provides stunning evidence that explosives were used in the complete demolition of the WTC Twin Towers and WTC Building 7.

Humankind as we know it at the 'End Point'
Don't forget:
Behind it all is the desire for depopulation — by those rich enough to have their islands for temporary residence while depopulation takes place.
Doesn't matter if it is killing in the fight for food when the trucks no longer arrive at your local supermarket.
Doesn't matter if it is tribe against tribe.
Or thermobaric bombs — environmentally friendly compared to nuclear. Bombs that send ultra-sonic shock waves and searing fireballs to destroy everything in their dropping wake.
Or those special bombs that do not destroy the infrastructure — kill only you and those you love.
You are in the way, folks!
There are too many of you!
