    By BEN FOX
    SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - The U.S. government released the first list of detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay prison on Wednesday - the most extensive accounting yet of the hundreds of people held there, nearly all of them labeled enemy combatants.
    In all, 558 people were named in the list provided by the Pentagon in response to a Freedom of Information lawsuit by The Associated Press. They were among the first swept up in the U.S. global war on terrorism for suspected (…)

    There is, at present, confusion about the closure date of Abu Ghraib. The United States is uncomfortable under the global spotlight on its prisons and torture policies in Iraq. Rather than moderate their policies to accommodate democratic and legal guidelines, they are, instead, planning to move ‘detainees’1 to newly built prisons which they hope will be less visible.
    In February ’04, The International Red Cross published its (January) “Report on the Treatment by the (…)

    The myth of the ‘honest broker’: Britain and Israel
    by Mark Curtis
    March 30, 2006 GlobalResearch.ca
    Britain’s apparent complicity in Israel’s military assault on Jericho prison should finally demolish an enduring myth about Britain’s foreign policy. Iraq’s supposed possession of weapons of mass destruction was not the only line peddled by the government to justify the invasion. Another was that Britain was an ‘honest broker’ in the Middle East and would influence Washington to press (…)

    No, not the gulag you think, outrageous as it is. I’m referring to the U.S. prison system that’s with no exaggeration about as shockingly abusive as the gulag abroad. It qualifies for that label by its size alone - more than 2.1 million as of June 2004 and growing larger by about 900 new inmates every week.

    UNITED NATIONS - The United States, which has been lambasted for human rights abuses both by members of its armed forces in Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad and by U.S. law enforcement officials in the Guantanamo detention facility in Cuba, has backed out of a hotly contested race for membership in the newly-created U.N. Human Rights Council (HRC).

    Who are all these "Abu’s" captured by US and Iraqi government forces ? Are they all ’ top aides’ to Insurgent leader’ , Abu Musab al- Zarqawi ? .....

Have these men really taken the first name of their alleged leader , Zarqawi ? .... I well remember another Abu - as in Abu Nidal . He was an asset of (…)

    Preemption and Dishonor
    By Peter Fredson
    March 17, 2006
    As a result of personal experiences during World War II, comparing them with the state of our nation today, I see numerous similarities between the actions of the Bush neocons and the Brown Shirts of Adolph Hitler. Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, Himmler et al.
    What do I see? Hold tight, now.
    The SS Troops, the Homeland Security, the fervent and pious preachers with their “Gott Mitt Uns), the claims of racial superiority, the (…)
