Sovereignty bigger than individual leaders
Posted: Wednesday, December 31, 2003
By Caesar Zvayi, www.herald.co.zw
UNCLE SAM'S forces captured Saddam Hussein on December 13, and the Texas gunslinger, that son of a bush, was beside himself with thirst for blood.
He immediately pronounced the death sentence on Saddam, inspite of the fact that Saddam's "crimes" are yet to be documented, whilst his crimes have been televised for all to see by his very own embedded journalists!
Bush has broken international law by launching pre-emptive strikes on two nations whose populations are 50 percent children. He has also violated the 1949 Geneva Convention on the protection of civilians during hostilities and treatment of prisoners of war (POWs). Most importantly he has trashed the United Nations and launched unprecedented genocide using banned weapons particularly cluster bombs which are still maiming innocent Iraqi children today. If anyone deserves the hangman's noose, it is George Bush himself. Full Article

Bogus terror threats and Bush's police state

FBI tells stunned BWIA pilot 'We've got you!'
Posted: Sunday, December 28, 2003
By Horace Monsegue In New York
December 28, 2003 Newsday TT
BWIA pilot Rawle Joseph was surrounded by five armed FBI agents at JFK International Airport, New York, last week, one of whom shouted, "We've got you!"
Joseph, 50, a father of three, of Pinto Road, Arima, a national scholarship winner, who joined BWIA in June 1980, was stunned when the agents pulled him aside and began two and a half hours of questioning, claiming that he was a terrorist, whose name and age, matched someone on a 'no-fly list' issued by the Transport Security Agency. Joseph denied being a terrorist and showed the agents that he always carried a bible in his flight bag. The agents then proceeded to go through the bible - page by page. Full Article

U.S. split grows over Chávez links to rebels
www.miami.com
The Bush administration is growing increasingly divided over the credibility of intelligence reports on Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez's links to Colombian guerrillas, officials say. "It's getting very testy, because the believers and skeptics want to quote only from the reports that agree with their own views," said a top U.S. government official involved in the dispute.

As Bwee works with TT Embassy to get them home
'Pilots humiliated'
By CHARLEEN THOMAS, Newsaday TT
NATIONAL airline BWIA was working closely yesterday with officials at the Trinidad and Tobago Embassy in Washington, USA, to have the names of two BWIA pilots struck off the "no fly list," to enable them to return to Trinidad. The two BWIA pilots Captain Anthony Wight and Rawle Joseph, a co-pilot, were detained in the USA, at Miami and New York respectively, after landing at international airports there earlier this week. They have numerous years of service with the airline. The reason given for their detention was because their names appeared on the "no fly list," which is a list of suspected persons with terrorist links. Communications Manager for BWIA, Clint Williams, told Newsday yesterday that the pilots were interviewed by FBI agents, "who appear to be comfortable with what they are saying."
He said the "necessary paperwork to take their names off the list is being done, and once that is completed they would be allowed to fly." He said the airline was working closely with the TT Embassy in Washington to have the matter efficiently dealt with. Williams stressed that Homeland Security required that the process be fully completed before the men are allowed to leave the USA. He however could not give a time line as to when the process would be completed, saying "this is all new ground for us." Williams also said that they were trying to ascertain how the pilots' name got on the list to enable them to prevent further recurrences. Sunday Newsday Editor, Horace Monsegue, was in New York yesterday when told by airline officials that the pilots were questioned for about 12 hours. The FBI they said, kept asking the pilots the same questions over and over. Eventually, it was felt that it was a case of "stolen identity." Speaking to Joseph over the phone in New York he told Newsday he has been employed with the airline since 1980, and was allowed to go through the "normal channel" of disembarking from the flight when the aircraft landed in New York on Tuesday. He was later escorted by four armed uniformed officers in the full glare of the public, for questioning. The source said he was not handcuffed, however the manner in which it was done, was enough to cause him "humiliation and embarrassment." Joseph also expressed concern over the harm which he said was already done to him and to the airline's operations. He has expressed the feeling of even giving up his US visa.
Joseph who lives in East Trinidad is the father of three, and was expected home on Christmas Day. Joseph told Newsday he and Wight were "extremely embarrassed and humiliated" over the incident, more so since they have not been told when they will be allowed to leave. Their passports and visas were initially taken from them, but they were later returned to them. The source further revealed that only his Fleet Manager and a junior person in the airline's legal department have contacted him. Newsday understands that Joseph was upset that no senior official from the airline had contacted him. When contacted yesterday at his hotel Joseph declined comment. He said he did not wish to speak to the media. However, a hotel official confirmed that Joseph was responsible for his meals at the hotel to which he has been confined in New York. The source said Wight has been employed with the airline since October, 1973. Both he and Joseph were crew members on the 737's. Efforts to contact the TT Embassy in Washington, and the Consulates in Miami and New York proved futile. They were all closed due to the Boxing Day public holiday and will reopen on Monday.
Over the Christmas holiday, Homeland Security in the US, had raised the security level to "high." The department claimed to have "credible" intelligence that al Qaeda links intended to use foreign aircraft to hit targets in the US. As a result, several flights have been cancelled, including Air France flights from Paris to Los Angeles. Information from the Internet said that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was authorised by law to maintain a watchlist of names and individuals suspected of posing "a risk of air piracy or terrorism, or a threat to airline or passenger safety." The TSA is said to have initially denied the existence of the list, but eventually acknowledged its existence in October, last year. The watchlist is said to have been created in 1990, and was administered by the FBI before the Federal Aviation Administration and the TSA assumed full administrative responsibility for the list in November last year. The source said there are two primary principles that guide placement on the list, but those principles have not been revealed. And there is also no information as to how a person can remove their name from the list, and there have been many complaints that the matter could generate a number of lawsuits.
Could this be payback time?

Saddam fell for hoax: UK claim
By Richard Norton-Taylor
London: December 25, 2003, www.theage.com.au
British officials are circulating a story that Saddam Hussein may have been hoodwinked into believing that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The theory is the result of an attempt to explain why no chemical and biological weapons had surfaced in Iraq. According to the theory, Saddam and his senior advisers and commanders were told by lower-ranking officers that his forces were equipped with chemical and biological weapons. The officers did not want to tell their superiors that the weapons had been destroyed or were no longer usable. Full Article
Iraqi leader issues weapons denial
Thursday November 14, 2002
The Guardian UK
The Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, set himself on an early collision course with the US and Britain yesterday by defiantly continuing to insist he has no weapons of mass destruction.
As expected, he bowed to international pressure by sending a letter to the United Nations secretary-general, Kofi Annan, reluctantly accepting a security council resolution that will allow weapons inspectors to return to Iraq. But the letter, in the name of the Iraqi foreign minister, Naji Sabri, vociferously denied that Iraq has developed weapons of mass destruction, "whether nuclear, chemical, or biological, as claimed by evil people".

Temporary ban on live cattle,
beef and beef products from the US
December 30, 2003 Trinidad and Tobago
The Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Marine Resources, yesterday informed the public that effective December 24, a temporary restriction has been placed on the importation of live cattle, beef and beef products from the United States of America. A release from the Ministry noted that this had become necessary as a result of the discovery of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (mad cow disease) in the US. This suspension on the importation of live cattle, beef and beef products from the US, the release continued, will be in effect for one month when this decision will again be reviewed and the public further advised.

Cow Parts Used in Candles, Soaps Recalled
Cow parts - including hooves, bones, fat and innards - are used in everything from hand cream and antifreeze, to poultry feed and gardening soils. In the next tangled phase of the mad cow investigation, federal inspectors are concentrating on byproducts from the tainted Holstein, which might have gone to a half-dozen distributors in the Northwest, said Dalton Hobbs, spokesman for the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Now, it's the secondary parts - the raw material for soil, soaps, candles - that are being recalled.
The Mad Cowboy's Prediction Comes True
Back in 1998, a few Texas cattlemen, led by billionaire Paul Engler, owner of Cactus Feeders, Inc., filed suit against Howard Lyman, Oprah Winfrey, and Harpo Productions. The lawsuit alleged Howard Lyman and Oprah Winfrey had violated a Texas law which forbids someone from "knowingly making false statements" about agricultural business. The cattlemen alleged that Oprah and Lyman were responsible for the decline in beef futures. Howard and Oprah had discussed the threat of e-Coli and Mad Cow Disease and Howard suggested that it was only a matter of time until Mad Cow Disease appeared in the United States.

Gloom descends as US mad cow outbreak feared
Every last drop of holiday cheer has been drained out of the old one-storey slaughterhouse on the south-western edge of Moses Lake, a farm town in the semi-desert country of eastern Washington state. It was here that the first cow in the US to test positive for mad cow disease was slaughtered two weeks ago. "I have so much nervous energy I prefer to stand," said Tom Ellestad, who, with his older brother Larry, runs the meat company where the Holstein dairy cow was slaughtered.
Congress Scuttled Meat Protection Measure
WASHINGTON - Legislation to keep meat from downed animals off American kitchen tables was scuttled - for the second time in as many years - as Congress labored unsuccessfully earlier this month to pass a catchall agency spending bill.
First case of mad cow disease in US
"I suggest this cow is the tip of an invisible iceberg," Mr Stauber, co-author of a book about the threat of the disease, told CNN last night. "My presumption is mad cow disease is spread throughout North America at some level, but because our testing programme is so inadequate we have not identified it." He said the US livestock industry, unlike its European counterparts, continued to practise "animal cannibalism".
Inspections for Mad Cow Lag Those Done Abroad
In discussing the case of mad cow disease apparently found in Washington State, Secretary of Agriculture Ann M. Veneman said yesterday that her department tested 20,526 cattle for mad cow disease last year. But that is only a small percentage of the 35 million commercially slaughtered each year.

600 Lawyers Volunteer to Defend Saddam
By SHAFIKA MATTAR
Associated Press Writer
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) - More than 600 Jordanian lawyers have volunteered to defend former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, the president of the Jordanian Bar Association said Tuesday.
The Arab Lawyer's Union, which comprises members from across the Arab world, is setting up an international team for Saddam's defense, Hussein Mejali told The Associated Press. Full Article
Iran's conflicting views on Saddam
By Safa Haeri
PARIS - Ever since the capture of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein by US forces aided by Iraqi Kurdish peshmergas, top Iranian officials on both sides of the leadership have made discordant, if not contradictory, statements about his trial, his sentence and the issue of Iran-Iraq War reparations, estimated by Tehran at billions of US dollars.
For several days after Saddam's capture on December 13, there was stunned silence from Iran's clerical rulers, high-ranking military commanders and advisers. Saddam Hussein had launched a devastating eight-year war from 1980-88, a conflict that cost Iran half a million dead and wounded. Many of the casualties were injured for life because of the massive use of chemical weapons by Iraqi troops.

Bush has thrown open Pandora's box in a paradise for international terrorists
2003 has been a crucial year for the Middle East, with war in Iraq and the continuing intifada in Israel. The Guardian's acclaimed commentator on the region assesses what happened, what it means, and where it might lead next year
David Hirst
Tuesday December 23, 2003
The Guardian UK
This was the year the Middle East became the undisputed, tumultuous centre of global politics. When, at dawn on March 20 the US and its British ally went to war against Saddam Hussein's Iraq, they were intervening in the region on such a scale that Arabs everywhere compared the invasion, in its potential geopolitical significance, to that seminal upheaval of the last century: the collapse of the Ottoman empire. That led to the arbitrary carve-up of its former Arab provinces by the European colonial powers and, in 1948, to the loss of one of them, Palestine, to the Israeli settler-state. Full Article

We got him: Kurds say they caught Saddam
Posted: Monday, December 22, 2003
Washington's claims that brilliant US intelligence work led to the capture of Saddam Hussein are being challenged by reports sourced in Iraq's Kurdish media claiming that its militia set the circumstances in which the US merely had to go to a farm identified by the Kurds to bag the fugitive former president.

Saddam was captured by Kurdish forces
LONDON: Saddam Hussein was captured by US troops only after he had been taken prisoner by Kurdish forces, drugged and abandoned ready for American soldiers to recover him, a British tabloid newspaper reported on Sunday.
Saddam: Betrayed, drugged and traded
Saddam Hussein was betrayed and handed over to Kurdish forces, who negotiated for political gain before leaving him for the Americans to find, a British newspaper has reported.
Saddam was held by Kurdish forces,
drugged and left for US troops
The newspaper said the full story of events leading up to the ousted Iraqi president's capture on December 13 near his hometown of Tikrit in northern Iraq, "exposes the version peddled by American spin doctors as incomplete".
Revealed: Who Really Found Saddam?
Saddam's capture was the best present George Bush could have hoped for, and then Gaddafi handed a propaganda gift to Blair. But nothing's ever that simple...

Selective Memory and a Dishonest Doctrine by Noam Chomsky
Published on Sunday, December 21, 2003 by the Toronto Star
Re: Selective Memory and a Dishonest Doctrine
"All people who have any concern for human rights, justice and integrity should be overjoyed by the capture of Saddam Hussein, and should be awaiting a fair trial for him by an international tribunal.
An indictment of Saddam's atrocities would include not only his slaughter and gassing of Kurds in 1988 but also, rather crucially, his massacre of the Shiite rebels who might have overthrown him in 1991.
At the time, Washington and its allies held the "strikingly unanimous view (that) whatever the sins of the Iraqi leader, he offered the West and the region a better hope for his country's stability than did those who have suffered his repression," reported Alan Cowell in the New York Times."

One of the constant refrains we hear from the malcontents carping about George W. Bush's triumphant crusade in Iraq is the charge -- the canard -- that the president and his crack team of advisers "had no plan" for the post-war period, that they've stumbled from crisis to crisis, changing policies without rhyme or reason, or have even "plunged off a cliff," as erstwhile war-hawk Newt Gingrich declared last week.

America Bags The 'Jackal Of Samarra'
Posted: Friday, December 19, 2003
We have been saturated, satiated, numbed, and waterlogged with screaming newspaper headlines and late breaking TV exclusives of the capture of Saddam Hussein. There was such a surge in news transmission of this man's being apprehended that we have to assume that aliens billions of light years away knew about it promptly. Whilst back on earth, I had to hear of it via an early morning jangling phone waking me from deep sleep. A call from a dear friend as she breathlessly told me to quickly turn on my TV to witness events of the capture. Full Article

Bush Gets Serious About Killing Iraqis

When Robert Dreyfuss of the American Prospect asked an unspecified Bush neocon "strategist" how best to deal with the resistance in Iraq, the response he received was chilling, "It's time for 'no more Mr. Nice Guy.' All those people shouting, 'Down with America!' and dancing in the street when Americans are attacked? We have to kill them." Full Article
