USA's Haitian Earthquake Relief Effort: Aid or Benevolently Disguised Betrayal?
Kathryn Smith
The Presidents and Amabassadors of four countries---France, Italy, Brazil, and President Chavez---complained that U.S. Military had "annexed" the Port-Au-Prince airport. Priorities were given to landing U.S. Military and civilian planes, the officials said, while foreign planes carrying food, water, medicines and doctors were not allowed to land. Doctors Without Borders posted the above article to their site, plus one of their own stating that they had been refused landing clearance of seven planes, carrying 48 tons of medicines, equipment and teams of doctors. First, our military blockaded the cause of aid and food distribution, then our media slandered the country by claiming that the Haitians were looting (to survive, after all) and rioting (which journalist Amy Goodman refuted, saying that people were quite peaceful). What is the purpose of this? See the article. People need to know. If nobody knew what the Nazis were doing, they would never have been stopped. Our mainstream media has not told us the truth.

The Tale of a Murder 'Made in France'
Guénady
In the last days of January 2003,the horrifically mutilated and decaying body of the President of the French foundation, 'La Societé Nationale de Défense des Animaux' (SNDA), was discovered in her home in a near suburb of Paris. Andrée Valadier was last seen alive on November 15, 2002 and forensic reports apparently indicate she was probably murdered that same day. Her daughter, missing since then, has been accused by the French Criminal Police of responsibility for this heinous act, notwithstanding irreconcilable contradictions in this 'official' version of the crime, as well as its psychological inconceivability to the two women's last closest collaborators. Meanwhile, the same Criminal Police have gone (and continue to go) to great lengths imposing this grotesque explanation, trying to intimidate and discredit those who publicly refuse to accept it, among whom, this article's author. The Criminal Police stubbornly refused to investigate other leads at the time, which may make ever now knowing the Truth improbable. Nevertheless, the lessons of this murder (or murders, Mother and Daughter) are forgotten, as the authorities so clearly hope, only by increasing the peril of those involved in the same kind of uncompromising Animal Defense in France...

Now We Impeach Jay Bybee
David Swanson
No one disputes that Jay Bybee's name is at the bottom of memos that were, and to some extent still are, treated as laws which legalized aggressive war at the pleasure of a president and a variety of acts of torture. For many months the House Judiciary Committee has had two excuses for not impeaching Judge Bybee, even while proceeding with the impeachments of a judge for groping and another judge for petty corruption. The private excuse has been that impeaching Bybee would be opposed by Fox News. The public excuse has been that the Justice Department has not yet released its Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report on the crimes of Bybee and his former colleagues.

Murders in Bangladesh: Every killer is a killer
Vinod Mehta
On the occasion of the first year of the tragic murders, rapes and carnage inside BDR headquarters, hopefully Bangladeshi government will give a statement giving some highlights of the ongoing investigation. Investigators have already indicated that the entire process may take at least one more year, as now the Criminal Investigation Department, which is leading the investigation into the BDR massacre, is already over-burdened with investigation assignments into August 21 grenade attack on Sheikh Hasina as well some other cases of priority. No doubt, for Bangladeshi law enforcing agencies, BDR massacre case can never be given more priority than the grenade attack on Sheikh Hasina. For the sake of steady democracy in Bangladesh, it is important first to identify the culprits behind the August 21 incident.

The group's agenda, however, is quite clear. It promotes jihad to establish the rule of Islam through literature, training and indoctrination.. An HuT book entitled "Islamer Prokrito Salah" (Real Prayer of Islam) states: "[if anyone] leaves jihad or armed struggle, they shall not be accepted by Allah." The book also says that Muslims as a whole are a military nation. "The whole nation is a military force; each and every Muslim is a soldier, a mujahid and a warrior" (Daily Star, April 18). HuT members have a number of unusual beliefs that set them apart from other Muslims. They do not exchange the customary formula of Islamic greetings, do not pray in mosques and refer to the call to prayer as the "barking of dogs" (Daily Star, August 28, 2005).
