RAWA: The US and Her Fundamentalist Stooges are the Main Human Rights Violators in Afghanistan

Excerpt:

The reinstatement of the Northern Alliance to power crushed the hopes of our people for freedom and prosperity into desperation and proved that for the Bush administration, defeating terrorism so that our people can be happy, have no significance at all. The US administration plays a funny anti-Taliban game and pretends that a super power is unable to defeat a small, marginalized and medieval-minded gang which is actually her own product. But our people found by experience in the past few years that the US doesn’t want to defeat the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, because then they will have no excuse to stay in Afghanistan and work towards the realization of its economical, political and strategic interests in the region.

This is an impressive website. I especially recommend the slide show "Helpful Hints for Understanding 9/11."

Thomas Kean on destruction of interrogation tapes

In the second half of this BBC clip, 9/11 Commission chairman Thomas Kean states that the Commission asked for all material related to the detainees, and that the detainees were who they got information from, the hijackers being dead.

Thank you BBC for covering the real significance of the destruction of evidence related to 9/11. It's not just whether they were tortured, it's what they said.

Yes, obstruction of justice is a very big deal

So says the general counsel of the 9/11 Coverup Commission.

Daniel Marcus, a law professor at American University who served as general counsel for the Sept. 11 commission and was involved in the discussions about interviews with Al Qaeda leaders, said he had heard nothing about any tapes being destroyed.

If tapes were destroyed, he said, “it’s a big deal, it’s a very big deal,” because it could amount to obstruction of justice to withhold evidence being sought in criminal or fact-finding investigations.

National Applications Office: sounds so benign

30 November 2007

Domestic Spying, Inc.

By Tim Shorrock , Special to CorpWatch

A new intelligence institution to be inaugurated soon by the Bush administration will allow government spying agencies to conduct broad surveillance and reconnaissance inside the United States for the first time. Under a proposal being reviewed by Congress, a National Applications Office (NAO) will be established to coordinate how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and domestic law enforcement and rescue agencies use imagery and communications intelligence picked up by U.S. spy satellites. If the plan goes forward, the NAO will create the legal mechanism for an unprecedented degree of domestic intelligence gathering that would make the U.S. one of the world's most closely monitored nations. Until now, domestic use of electronic intelligence from spy satellites was limited to scientific agencies with no responsibility for national security or law enforcement.
