Cheney ‘offended’ by human rights report
Bush blasts Amnesty report on Guantanamo

The Bush Administration Was For Amnesty International Before It Was Against It
In the past, when it was convenient to the Administration, they did not hesitate
to cite Amnesty to make its case. And nowhere did the Administration need more
help than in selling the Iraq war.


United States of America - Amnesty International - 2005

At least three child detainees were among those released, but at least
two other people who were under 18 at the time of their detention were
believed to remain in Guantánamo by the end of the year.

The investigations found that there had been “approximately 300 recorded cases
of alleged abuse in Afghanistan, Guantánamo and Iraq.” On 9 September, Major Paul Kern,
who oversaw one of the military investigations, told the Senate Armed Services Committee
that there may have been as many as 100 cases of “ghost detainees” in US custody in Iraq.

During the year, released detainees alleged that they had been tortured or ill-treated
while in US custody in Afghanistan and Guantánamo. Evidence also emerged that others,
including Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents and the ICRC, had found that
such abuses had been committed against detainees.

Red Cross Reports Claims of Quran Abuse at Guantanamo


US detention related to the events of 11 September 2001 and its aftermath - the role of the ICRC
Juveniles at Guantanamo Bay
The ICRC believes that the US continues to detain two juveniles i.e. detainees
under 18 years of age at Guantanamo Bay. International law recognises that juveniles
in detention have special needs and must therefore be treated differently from adults.

For many detainees at Guantanamo Bay more than two and a half years have passed since
their arrest. The ICRC has always maintained that those detainees remaining in
Guantanamo Bay should either be charged and tried, released, or be placed within
a legal framework that governs their continued detention.

the ICRC is increasingly concerned about the fate of an unknown number of people captured
as part of the so-called global war on terror and held in undisclosed locations. For the ICRC,
obtaining information on these detainees and access to them is an important humanitarian
priority and a logical continuation of its current detention work in Afghanistan and
Guantanamo Bay. Dialogue continues with the US authorities to resolve this issue.

The Which Biblical Villain Are You Test?

A Child of Israel

j234 (26k image)

You scored 35% Pride, 20% Envy, 17% Ambition, and 45% Deceitfulness!
You are one of the Children of Israel. You are part of the chosen race of God, but in the bible it seemed like you could never stop complaining and messing up. You are not really a biblical villain in the traditional sense. In fact, you possess a lot of godly qualities. You are humble, you love your neighbors, and you are quite trustworthy. However, your relative slothfulness and recalcitrance made it impossible for you to strive to reach the high purpose that God had for you. Therefore, since you're striving was not with God...it was against God. This is why you are considered a villain.

So I saw Star Wars ep. III with my wife yesterday. It was a different theatre with
Dolby Digital EX. I think between the EX and a darker brightness setting the movie felt
much more suspenseful and less distracting. The darker scene didn't show off the
overly computerized special effects and the sounds kept you on the edge of your seats.
The scene with yoda hanging by his nails was completely different with the EX sound.
In the end I felt more involved/effected by the entire movie than the first showing.

Military probe confirms Quran `mishandling' at Guantanamo; no word on how much longer it'll last
Officials say they found 15 incidents in which detainees mishandled or inappropriately
treated the Quran. That includes one case of a detainee ripping pages from his holy book.

They say they have found no "credible evidence" that a holy book was flushed down a toilet.

Pentagon says detainee retracts Koran allegation

The ACLU on Thursday released another FBI document that stated that Defense
Department personnel at Guantanamo impersonated State Department and FBI
officials during prisoner interrogations at the jail.

Asked whether Defense Department personnel did this, Di Rita said,
"I don't know the answer," but that the matter was part of an ongoing military investigation.

FBI Records Cite Quran Abuse Allegations
The newly released FBI records do not indicate whether
the allegations were investigated or substantiated.

In response to a recent Newsweek story, later retracted, that U.S. officials had confirmed
allegations of Quran desecration at Guantanamo Bay, Pentagon officials have said repeatedly
that they have turned up no credible, substantiated claims that U.S. military guards had
deliberately treated the Muslim holy book with disrespect.

Di Rita said the Pentagon had not seen the new FBI documents until
they were made public Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union.

Newsweek retracts Quran story - May 16, 2005
"Based on what we know now, we are retracting our original story that an
internal military investigation had uncovered Quran abuse at Guantanamo Bay"

FBI memo reports Guantanamo guards flushing Koran

In document written in April 2003, an FBI agent related a detainee's
account of an incident involving a female U.S. interrogator.

"While the guards held him, she removed her blouse, embraced the detainee
from behind and put her hand on his genitals. The interrogator was on her menstrual
period and she wiped blood from her body on his face and head," the memo stated.

A similar incident was described in a recent book written by a former Guantanamo interrogator.

Sodomy law - Wikipedia
The term sodomy has in the past been used to refer to any "deviant"

That inclusive interpretation includes oral sex, and bestiality,
but the predominant understanding of "sodomy" relates it to anal sex.

Frist starts countdown to final vote on nominee
If five Democrats do not join with the Senate's 55 Republicans to give Frist the 60

his threat to lower the threshold needed to cut off judicial filibusters from 60 to 51.

In early March, Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W. Va., linked the threat by Republicans to use

People whose military and diplomatic priorities include the defeat
of Islamic fanaticism and the spread of democratic values in the
Muslim world need to be very, very careful, not only about what
they say but about what they do to the Muslims they hold in captivity.

2:50am Just got back from Episode III. Wow, they covered so much ground. It was even
more fast paced than II was. I enjoyed it even though George Lucas directed it.
I guess I went mostly to see all the loose ends tied up. I was a bit distracted with some of
the CG in the movie. It worked in most places and then you would get this scene that just
ruins the feeling. I suppose he will fix those next time around. Anyway I had fun and it was
the best of the new three for me.

There was a dozen people dressup this time. I don't remember anyone dressing up for
episode I, I blame the Internet. If your a parent don't let you 16-17 year old daughter
dress up as a Slave Girl and go to opening night. The testosterone in there was at lethal levels.
The majority of the crowd seemed to be Episode I,II gen kids. I guess us old people aren't
supposed to stay up that late anymore. So they were filming the crowds for some reason
and there were newspaper people there. I'm not sure what the historical value of filming
the local movie theater really will be.

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment
insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear
of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group,
of course, that believes you can do these things.
Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas
oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas.
Their number is negligible and they are stupid.

Lucas jabs at 'Bush's empire'
Lucas, speaking to reporters, emphasised that the original "Star Wars"
was written at the end of the Vietnam war, when Richard Nixon was U.S. president.

He acknowledged an uncomfortable feeling that the United States
was in danger of losing its democratic ideals, like in the movie.

"I didn't think it was going to get this close.
I hope this doesn't come true in our country."

Is new ‘Star Wars’ an anti-Bush flick?
Hayden Christensen, went on to say that he thinks that some people who Weren’t
American allies in the Iraq war will love “Revenge of the Sith” because of it.
“I think for that reason the French will be really responsive to it,” Christensen said.
“I think they’ll get it. They’ll get the political commentary and the subtext.
Anakin says: ‘If you’re not with me, you’re my enemy!’ I think they’ll love it.’”

Star wars raises questions of U.S. imperialism
"This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause," bemoans Padme Amidala
as the galactic Senate cheers dictator-in-waiting Palpatine while he announces
a crusade against the Jedi.

"If you're not with me, then you're my enemy," Hayden Christensen's Anakin

"That quote is almost a perfect citation of Bush," said Liam Engle,
a 23-year-old French-American aspiring filmmaker.
"Plus, you've got a politician trying to increase his power to wage a phony war."

A more complete version of the Lucas Quote...
"When I wrote it, Iraq didn't exist," Lucas said, laughing.
"We were just funding Saddam Hussein and giving him weapons
of mass destruction. We didn't think of him as an enemy at that time.
We were going after Iran and using him as our surrogate, just as we
were doing in Vietnam. ... The parallels between what we did in Vietnam
and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable."

I saw an interesting interview of Ellen Knickmeyer on the New Hour...
Insurgents prove fierce in firefight
The Marines also found Soviet-designed PKM machine guns and belts
of armor-piercing ammunition. In contrast, Lima Company was armed
with M-16 assault rifles and carried nothing comparable -nothing
that could penetrate walls and floors and still pack enough force to kill.

"Our rounds couldn't get through the walls," Hurley said.

"The whole scene, it was just pure evil inside the house," said Woullard,
who came out of the first foray into the house with a frayed helmet and
bruised temple from one machine-gun round and a pierced water bag on his
back from another.

"I've never seen anything like this in my life," said Woullard, who fought
at Nasiriyah in the first days of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
"It was an all-out ambush."


Looking for Battle, Marines Find That Foes Have Fled
Hunt for Foreign Insurgents Proves Frustrating but Deadly

Marines said many of the foreign fighters fled west into Syria
or to Husaybah, a lawless Iraqi border town where foreign fighters
and local tribesmen have battled each other this month for control.

U.S. Ends Iraqi Border Offensive
An unplanned 12-hour air and ground fight last Sunday at Ubaydi
also cost the Marines the element of surprise, they said.
So did a roughly 24-hour delay in launching the operation,
caused by the difficulties Army engineers faced in stabilizing
the Euphrates' banks to keep armored vehicles from bogging down,
the Army and Marines said.

In four days, a squad of Marines decimated
On Monday, when the Marine assault on foreign fighters officially began,
the young Marines of the squad from 1st Platoon already were exhausted.
Their encounter at the house in Obeidi that morning and the previous
night had been the unintended first clash of the operation, pitting
them against insurgents who fired armor-piercing bullets up through
the floor. It took 12 hours and five assaults by the squad — plus grenades,
bombing by an F/A-18 attack plane, tank rounds and rockets at 20 yards
to kill the insurgents and permit recovery of the dead Marines' bodies.





Newsweek Retracts Quran-Flushing Story

Britons formerly held in US camps allege they saw guards desecrate Koran
Begg told Britain's Press Association "If (Newsweek) are retracting it,
it is really silly. So many people are saying exactly the same thing."

"During interrogation, an interrogator jumped up and
down on the Quran (Koran) and taunted a prisoner."

Probe of Koran abuse comes after one year of allegations
The three Britons alleged in a joint statement that Guantanamo guards
kicked and threw around prison-issued Korans and on occasion threw them
in buckets that served as toilets.

"The behavior of the guards toward our religious practices as well as the Koran
was also, in my view, designed to cause us as much distress as possible,"
Asif Iqbal, one of the three, was quoted as saying.

"They would kick the Koran, throw it into the toilet and generally disrespect it.
It is clear to me that the conditions in our cells and our general treatment were
designed by the officers in charge of the interrogation process to 'soften us up,'" he said.

The treatment of the Koran was one of the issues that
prompted hunger strikes at the prison, according to the Britons.

Pre-E3 2005: Battlefield 2 Hands-on

I went with my buddy Pete last night and saw Unleashed
It is probably Jet Li's best U.S. non CHinese/HK film he has done. Hero is still probably gonna always be my favorite. The cool thing was it's a movie with fighting scenes, but there is a real story to it, not just bunch of fights put together. Yuen Wo-ping knows how to choreographer a fight scene for Jet Li. I've really felt most of his other U.S. movies weren't using all his skills. The movie written and produced by Luc Besson and it does reminds me a bit of Kiss of the Dragon.
I went in just to watch it, I didn't read up on it and I was surprised to see that Morgan Freeman was in it.

Pit Bulls Kill Owner In Home
Two pet pit bulls with no apparent history of aggression and described as
well-kept attacked and killed their owner inside his suburban St. Louis home.

Autopsy: Dogs killed owner
Theresa Williams, director of St. Charles County Animal Control, said that the dogs
were destroyed Thursday. She added that the animals did not appear to be purebred,
but were definitely part pit bull.

"These dogs are very healthy, and they have obviously been well-cared for, probably all their
lives," Williams said. "So this man treated these animals as pets and took good care of them."

20 such attacks occur in the United States every year. Of the fatal attacks
documented in the book between 1965 and 2001, 21 percent involved pit bull-type dogs.

The secret Downing Street memo May 1st, 2005

Bush asked to explain UK war memo
Congress last week sent President George W. Bush
a letter asking for explanation of a secret British
memo that said "intelligence and facts were being fixed"
to support the Iraq war in mid-2002.

"While various individuals have asserted this to be the case
before, including Paul O'Neill, former U.S. Treasury Secretary,
and Richard Clarke, a former National Security Council official,
they have been previously dismissed by your administration,"
the letter said.


Memo disputes Bush Iraq claims
A highly classified British memo, leaked during Britain's
just-concluded election campaign, claims President Bush
decided by summer 2002 to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein and was determined to ensure that U.S. intelligence
data supported his policy.

Protest builds over British documents on lead-up to war
Critics say the documents help prove the leaders made a secret decision
to oust Saddam Hussein nearly a year before launching their attack,
shaped intelligence to that aim and never seriously intended to avert
the war through diplomacy.

U.S. Judge Rejects Neb. Gay-Marriage Ban
U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon said the ban "imposes significant burdens

a significant barrier to the plaintiffs' right to petition or to participate in the
political process." Bataillon said the ban beyond "goes far beyond merely defining
marriage as between a man and a woman."

Maine Lawmakers acted justly in securing gay rights
Forty years ago, a vast majority of Southern voters wouldn't have voted to pass
the Civil Rights Act. The fact that most citizens didn't support civil rights for African
Americans didn't make that the wrong thing to do.

Gay-rights legislation needs to be passed by the Legislature because it's the right
thing to do, regardless of the bigoted views of the majority.

Why elections won't quell Iraq resistance By Molly Bingham | December 15, 2004
Here are some myths about the Iraqi resistance that need to be dispelled.

The resistance in Iraq is made up of Ba'athi dead enders, regime loyalists, common criminals,
Islamic extremists, and driven by a vast number of foreigners with contacts to Al Qaeda.

The Iraqi resistance is a monolithic, tightly organized structure with a leadership
that can be obliterated and a fixed number of fighters who can be eliminated.

Nationwide elections will provide Iraq with a legitimate government,
and the violence in the country will subside significantly.

These [new] fossils help fill in this pattern
of how early vertebrate evolution began.

Crocodile-like fossils offer evolution clues
The findings may also represent some of the first examples

Darwin's theory requires that the fossil record reveal
transitional forms of species evolving into more complex forms.

What? Whats that sound? Oh thats just me laughing.

The potato-sized eggs, discovered in southeastern China, are the first
conclusive evidence of shifting biology in dinosaur reproduction.

would ever be found, we now have the smoking gun."

A Red State argument over evolution...
RedState.org || Evolution, and why we should support it.

Creationist - Primarily because you are a person of faith.
Your faith is strong enough to discount science in
areas were you believe science encroaches on that faith.

I get frustrated when people say that evolution "is just a theory."
Tell the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that Einstein's Theory
of Energy of A Body at Rest (E=mC2) is "just s Theory."

Revelation! 666 is not the number of the beast (it's a devilish 616)
Professor David Parker, Professor of New Testament Textual Criticism and Paleography
at the University of Birmingham, thinks that 616, although less memorable than 666,
is the original. He said: "This is an example of gematria, where numbers are based
on the numerical values of letters in people's names. Early Christians would use numbers
to hide the identity of people who they were attacking: 616 refers to the Emperor Caligula."

Is the Number of the Beast 666 or 616 ?

Evolution on trial as Kansas debates Adam vs Darwin
Kansas has been grappling with the issue for years, garnering
worldwide attention in 1999 when the state school board voted
to downplay evolution in science classes.
Trying to play catchup with Florida

Scientific American.com: Okay, We Give Up -- We feel so ashamed (April 01, 2005)
There's no easy way to admit this. For years, helpful letter writers
told us to stick to science. They pointed out that science and politics
don't mix. They said we should be more balanced in our presentation of
such issues as creationism, missile defense and global warming.

Judge: Florida DCF cannot bar teen from getting abortion
A judge has refused to allow the state to stop the abortion
of a 13-year-old foster child, two sources said Monday.

Ronald Alvarez, Palm Beach County Juvenile Court judge,
issued the ruling Monday morning, a week after the state
Department of Children and Families asked him to permanently
block the girl from ending her pregnancy.

The girl told the judge she was struck by the fact that a
counselor told her a pregnancy would be riskier than abortion.

"Since you guys are supposedly here for the best interest of me,
then wouldn't y'all look at the fact that it would be more dangerous
for me to have the baby than to have the abortion?"
Alvarez told her she had "a very good point."



Ok, I came up with this theory why Florida is so crazy...
All those old people are on all these crazy drugs, They each take like 10 kinds
of different meds at a time. Most of those drugs will end up working there way
into the water supply after every flush.
