My Pet Goat

The phase “My Pet Goat,” was a simple mistake on Michael Moore’s part when he filmed the movie “Fahrenheit 9/11(2004).” The actual name of the story Bush was sharing with a class in Florida when the 9/11 attacks took place was called, “The Pet Goat.”

Now you can be just like George W. Bush when 9/11 was happening, read “The Pet Goat.”

Posted by Picasa George W. Bush after being informed that America is under attack while children read to him from the story "The Pet Goat".

Excerpt:

A girl got a pet goat. She liked to go running with her pet goat. She played with her goat in her house. She played with her goat in her yard. But the goat did some things that made the girl's dad mad. The goat ate things. He ate cans and he ate canes. He ate pans and he ate panes. He even ate capes and caps.

Israeli military stops cycling peace activists from entering Jenin

By Kate Thomas
Published: 09 September 2006

Twenty-three peace activists cycling from London to Jerusalem to get wheels turning in the Middle East peace process will make a second attempt to enter Jenin in the West Bank today, having been denied entry by Israeli officials for the past two days.

The group of mostly British cyclists reached the outskirts of Jenin after travelling from Damascus on Thursday, and were held up by the Israeli military. "When they tried to enter the West Bank, they were detained for eight hours," said Laura Abraham, the Peace Cycle 2006 founder. "No valid reason was given. Spurious explanations were provided by officials, and despite phone calls to the Israeli authorities from the British consulate, the group was told it would not be permitted to cross indefinitely."

Requests for water or the use of toilet facilities are also believed to have been denied. "We were treated so well in every country we passed through in Europe and the Middle East, but now we are being treated like animals," said one of the cyclists.

The Peace Cycle aims to raise awareness of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and to work for peace for every person in the region. Ms Abraham said the cyclists were due at the Freedom Theatre in Jenin yesterday, where they were scheduled to perform a musical piece to the children of the refugee camp, using their bicycles as instruments. The group was then due to visit Balata camp in Nablus tomorrow, and had scheduled meetings with Israeli Palestinian peace groups, as well as the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, Bishop Riah, and the Israeli peace activist Jeff Halper.

"These are normal people armed with nothing but bicycles and calling for nothing but peace," said Ms Abraham. "All they want to do is meet the people they came to meet."

Palestinians forced to scavenge for food on rubbish dumps

By Patrick Cockburn in Jerusalem
Published: 09 September 2006


The Israeli military and economic siege of Gaza has led to a collapse in Palestinian living conditions and many people only survive by looking for scraps of food in rubbish dumps, say international aid agencies.

"The pressure and tactics have not resulted in a desire for compromise," Karen Abuzayd, the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency is said to have warned. "But rather they have created mass despair, anger and a sense of hopelessness and abandonment."

Israel closed the entry and exit points into the Gaza Strip, home to 1.5 million Palestinians, on 25 June and has conducted frequent raids and bombings that have killed 262 people and wounded 1,200. The crisis in Gaza has been largely ignored by the rest of the world, which has been absorbed by the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon.

"Women in Gaza tell me they are eating only one meal a day, bread with tomatoes or cheap vegetables," said Kirstie Campbell of the UN's World Food Programme, which is feeding 235,000 people. She added that in June, since when the crisis has worsened, some 70 per cent of people in Gaza could not meet their family's food needs. "People are raiding garbage dumps," she said.

Not only do Palestinians in Gaza get little to eat but what food they have is eaten cold because of the lack of electricity and money to pay for fuel. The Gaza power plant was destroyed by an Israeli air strike in June. In one month alone 4 per cent of Gaza's agricultural land was destroyed by Israeli bulldozers.

The total closure imposed by Israel, supplemented by deadly raids, has led to the collapse of the Gazan economy. The 35,000 fishermen cannot fish because Israeli gunboats will fire on them if they go more than a few hundred yards from the shore. At the same time the international boycott of the Hamas government means that there is no foreign aid to pay Palestinian government employees. The government used to have a monthly budget of $180-200m, half of which went to pay 165,000 public sector workers. But it now has only $25m a month.

Aid agencies are frustrated by their inability to persuade the world that the humanitarian crisis is far worse in Gaza than it is in Lebanon. The WFP says: "In contrast to Lebanon, where humanitarian food aid needs have been essentially met, the growing number of poor in Gaza are living on the bare minimum."

It is possible for foreign journalists to visit Gaza but it is a laborious process passing through the main Israeli checkpoint at Erez and then walking down a long concrete tunnel. The kidnapping of two Fox television employees by criminals - though they were later released - has also dissuaded several TV companies from covering the crisis.

The total closure imposed by Israel dates from the seizure of Cpl Gilad Shalit by Palestinian militants on 25 June. Between then and the end of August, Israeli security forces killed 226 Palestinians, 54 of them minors, in the Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem. Of these it says that 114 were taking no part in any hostilities.

The quickest way to alleviate the crisis would be for Israel to allow the Rafah crossing into Egypt to reopen, according to the mayor of Gaza City. But any restoration of the economy would require the reopening of the other crossing points at Erez and Karni.

* Israel lifted its sea blockade of Lebanon yesterday after an interim maritime task force led by an Italian admiral deployed off the Lebanese coast, the commander of UN peacekeepers said.

Racial Profiling and the Patriot Act

From the ACLU Part 1(Watch the Movie click on above Poster, to download poster's click here)

ACLU on Racial Justice: Our commitment to racial equality is a centerpiece of our work in the state and federal courts, local legislatures, and in the national media. The Racial Justice Project includes litigation, advocacy campaigns, and a special legal team.

Racial Profiling: Old and New

Racial Profiling is any police or private security practice in which a person is treated as a suspect because of his or her race, ethnicity, nationality or religion. This occurs when police investigate, stop, frisk, search or use force against a person based on such characteristics instead of evidence of a person's criminal behavior. It often involves the stopping and searching of people of color for traffic violations, known as "DWB" or "driving while black or brown." Although normally associated with African Americans and Latinos, racial profiling and "DWB" have also become shorthand phrases for police stops of Asians, Native Americans, and, increasingly after 9/11, Arabs, Muslims and South Asians.


Racial profiling can also involve pedestrian stops, "gang" databases, bicycle stops, use of police attack dogs, suspicion at stores and malls, immigration worksite raids, and in the 2000 presidential election in Florida, harassment on the way to polls, "voting while black or brown". Customs and other airport officials also engage in racial profiling of passengers. (Read more about different kinds of racial profiling.)


Is racial profiling real? Most Americans think so. A July 2001 Gallup poll reported that 55 percent of whites and 83 percent of blacks believe racial profiling is widespread. And the reports of thousands of racial and ethnic group members across the country add credibility to the perception that racial profiling is real. These are stories from all walks of life, not just hardworking everyday people, but celebrities, professional athletes, and members of the military. Also, reports of racial profiling come from respected members of communities of color such as police commanders, prosecutors, judges, state legislators, lawyers, dentists and even representatives in Congress, who have been victims.


Racial profiling is a new term for an old practice known by other names: institutional racism and discrimination and owes its existence to prejudice that has existed in this country since slavery.


Tens of thousands of innocent drivers, pedestrians, and shoppers across the country are victims of racial profiling. And these discriminatory police stops and searches have reached epidemic proportions in recent years - fueled by the "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terror" that have given police a pretext to target people they think fit a "drug courier," "gang member," or "terrorist" profile. In fact, racial profiling is the first step in a long road that leads to the heavily disproportionate incarceration of people of color, especially young men, for drug-related crimes, and of Arabs, Muslims and South Asians for suspicion of terrorism. This despite the fact that people of color are no more likely than whites to use or sell drugs, and Arabs Muslims and South Asians are no more likely than whites to be terrorists.


We must end the practice of racial profiling.


That is why the Campaign Against Racial Profiling of the ACLU has made the eradication of racial profiling a top priority, and has undertaken major initiatives in public education, legislation and litigation, including our Arrest the Racism campaign, to end to discriminatory police stops and searches. This special web-based campaign is designed to educate the public and enlist citizens in the fight to eliminate the cancer of racial profiling in America.


So please take a moment to explore our site to learn more about our campaign.
Your support is crucial if we are to be successful in ending this outrageous form of racial discrimination.

Note:

I wish to say, I greatly appreciate the ACLU for having information like this on their web site.

An Attack on Islam

Posted by Picasa War on Islam

Copyright-free artwork by Brazilian cartoonist Latuff, on behalf of brave Iraqi people and their resistance against foreign occupation.


"The strength of Islam lies in the fact that despite having far less military and economic power, the western war-makers do not have the courage to declare it an open war on Islam. They would certainly fail as long as they want to cover their ulterior motives and undermine Islam under the guise of looking for "infinite Justice." Ending terrorism through eradicating its root causes may not take more than a few months. However, defeating Islam may cost them many generations before finally realising that one it was a wrong war."

Bush admits to CIA jails; top suspects are relocated

President says agency's tactics thwarted attacks


Posted by Picasa President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney left the East Room after a news conference yesterday about new guidelines for treating detainees at Guantanamo. (Mark Wilson/ Getty Images)

September 7, 2006

By John Donnelly and Rick Klein, Globe Staff

WASHINGTON -- President Bush yesterday announced 14 high-profile terrorist suspects -- including the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks -- have been transferred from CIA custody to the Guantanamo Bay detention center for prosecution, the first time the president has acknowledged the existence of CIA-operated secret prisons for high-priority detainees.

But the president also adamantly defended the CIA, making it clear that, when it comes to terrorism, the agency will continue to operate under its own code of conduct. Bush said the agency's ``tough but necessary" interrogation methods don't amount to torture and have yielded information that thwarted terrorist attacks and led to the capture of top Al Qaeda leaders.

``I can say that questioning the detainees in this program has given us information that has saved innocent lives by helping us stop new attacks here in the United States and across the world," Bush said. The CIA held the men outside the United States, Bush said, because ``it's been necessary to move these individuals to an environment where they can be held secretly, questioned by experts, and when appropriate, prosecuted for terrorist acts."

The suspects include Khalid Sheik Mohammed , described as the architect of the Sept. 11 attacks; Ramzi Binalshibh , an alleged would-be Sept. 11 hijacker; and Abu Zubaydah , who was believed to be a link between Osama bin Laden and many Al Qaeda cells before his capture in Pakistan in 2002.

Hours before Bush's speech, the US Army released new rules on treatment of prisoners. The rules ban troops from using ``degrading, humiliating" treatment against detainees, including forced nudity, mock executions, and a harsh interrogation technique called ``water boarding," which simulates drowning.

PM Haniyeh: This government will not resign before its term is over

September 8, 2006

Rafah - Ma'an - Palestinian Prime Minister Ismael Haniyeh has assured on Friday that the current government will not resign before its term is over, regardless of the political pressure and the blockade imposed on the Palestinian people.

In his Friday sermon at a mosque in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, Haniyeh said, "the teachers' demands are legal and just but, because of the unprecedented siege on the Palestinian people, the government is financially unable to fulfil all the demands at once".

The prime minister stressed that the teachers' strike should be directed against those parties who are besieging the Palestinian people, rather than against the Palestinian government who is suffering under the same siege.

In his sermon, Haniyeh also affirmed that serious negotiations with President Mahmoud Abbas are ongoing in order to form a national unity government. He said that a national unity government would give all the Palestinian factions and groups the opportunity to improve their political performance and the services offered to the Palestinian people.

Concerning his expected 'historic' speech, Haniyeh said that he intends to address the Palestinian people and talk about the details of the current situation and the hardships in Palestine. He affirmed that he will not be shouting "unachievable mottos like the liberation of Jerusalem or the release of the ministers and Palestinian Legislative Council members".

United States Version of Middle East Peace?

Man in no hurry

September 8, 2006

By Yossi Verter

It looked this week as if Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was losing control. Every day he had to wipe the egg off his face anew. At the beginning of the week, he learned that the state comptroller was recommending that the attorney general open criminal proceedings against him in connection with the political appointments affair. In the middle of the week, he and his finance minister became embroiled in the fiasco of presenting the budget, and thereafter, he got a punch in the face from the attorney general, who disqualified two of his candidates for the war inquiry committee: Brigadier General (res.) Yedidya Yaari and Major General (res.) David Ivri.

Even Olmert's loyal confidants - the master spinners who, in the days of Ariel Sharon, knew how to control the headlines - sounded despairing. "Everyone feels free to kick a stupid dog," one of them said. Another drew a comparison between these times and the middle of Benjamin Netanyahu's tenure as prime minister, when he became entangled in a fatal spiral of loss of popularity and credibility. The good news in such a comparison is that Netanyahu succeeded in surviving another year before the Knesset forced early elections on him. It is not sure that Olmert has another year left. And if we assume he does, what will he do in that year?

This week the prime minister adopted a typical Sharon-like tactic: He tried to create options. On Wednesday, he met with Zevulun Orlev of the National Religious Party, Moshe Gafni of United Torah Judaism, Reuven Rivlin of the Likud and cabinet ministers Shalom Simhon of Labor and Yacov Ben-Yizri of the Pensioners' Party. Just like Sharon who, when he sensed trouble in the air, would hasten to invite his political opponents to a meeting and set off a wave of rumors about a national unity government or a reshuffle. For some reason, however, this formula did not work for Olmert. The meetings he held did not seem to garner much attention.

Some of the people who have spoken to the prime minister have the impression that he is waiting to see how things develop in the coming weeks in the Labor Party, and with the budget, before making decisions. He did not give them the impression that he is determined to get rid of Labor quite so easily. It is possible that he would prefer to wait until May 2007, when the party is due to hold its "primaries," in the hopes that Amir Peretz will lose the leadership and someone else will replace him in the Defense Ministry.

"Anyone else would be preferable to us," Olmert's people say. "Ehud Barak, Ami Ayalon, Matan Vilnai, Danny Yatom. If it turns out to be Avishay Braverman or Ophir Pines, we'll give them the treasury. Just let Peretz go."

On the other hand, it is not clear that Olmert can wait another nine months. If Peretz does not manage to gain control of his faction, the prime minister will have to act. Some of his aides are suggesting that he do so already now, during the Knesset summer recess, when there is no danger of his being voted out of office. These aides do not understand why he is in no hurry to make a move, and wonder whether he has not perhaps lost his self-confidence.

The person who was not invited to this week's round of talks was the one who is most touted as a future partner to Olmert in this government: Avigdor Lieberman. Adding the Yisrael Beitenu faction to the coalition with its 11 soldiers seems like a real option. There is support for such a move in the prime minister's inner circle; some of his close advisors have proposed that he offer Lieberman the Finance Ministry. Lieberman's presence in the coalition could help to boost the poor image of Olmert and his Kadima party in the eyes of the new immigrants.

On Tuesday Olmert met with MK Marina Solodkin, from his own party, who had been slated for immigration absorption minister originally, but remained outside the cabinet.

"Marina, how are we faring with the Russian-speaking man-in-the street?" Olmert asked.

"Nothing to write home about," Solodkin replied. She asked Olmert to intervene with authorities in Russia so that veteran immigrants who arrived before 1992 would get government pensions from it.

"I'll take you with me when I go to Russia in October," Olmert told her. "You'll be able to discuss it with [President Vladimir] Putin."

Kadima-Likud ties

As soon as this week's inauguration ceremony of the first Kadima branch was over - it happened to take place in Tiberias - the party's ministers and Knesset members climbed into their ministerial Volvos and parliamentary Mazdas and charged off to a nearby wedding hall, where Likud central committee member Moshe Saban was marrying off his daughter. In addition to the Likud MKs, Kadima ministers Roni Bar-On, Ze'ev Boim and Gideon Ezra were all in attendance, as were MKs Tzachi Hanegbi, Yoel Hasson and Eli Aflalo. All of them former Likud members.

Ezra participated the day before in the wedding of the daughter of another Likud central committee member, in Nes Tziona; the day before that, he had gone together with Finance Minister Avraham Hirchson, who took off from the budget debate, and Boim, to the wedding of yet another daughter of a Likud central committee member, this time in Moshav Bnei Zion. One would have thought there had been no "big bang," no split in the Likud. One would have thought there was no bad blood. If once upon a time, before the elections, the leaders of Kadima had boycotted such events and spoken to the Likud members with their noses in the air, today they speak to them at eye level - if not from lower down than that.

The participation by Kadima members in celebrations of Likud central committee members is a phenomenon of the recent past. There is more and more talk in Kadima and the Likud of reuniting, of mending fences. In both parties, they read the polls and see that while Kadima is losing about half of its support, not all of the votes are going to the Likud. The conclusion being reached by leading activists in both parties is that the split was an unnatural move that sprang from personal grudges and uncontrolled urges.

Now that the realignment plan is no longer on the agenda, what really divides the two parties, other than personal enmity between Olmert and Bibi? There are no substantial differences over economics. The same is true of diplomatic issues. The great strategic challenge - Iran - is something which unites rather than divides the parties. What in fact will prevent Kadima and the Likud from uniting into one body before the elections?

At this point, Netanyahu is not excited about the prospect. "Why should we merge?" he asks. "Let those who left return home, to the Likud." Three days ago, he held a meeting in Washington with Vice President Dick Cheney and they discussed "the Iranian threat." This meeting was part of Netanyahu's political strategy: He tries to look like someone who is dealing with national affairs, with matters of the Jewish people, while Olmert is splashing around in the murky waters of petty politics.

Our analyst's insights

One can hardly expect Prof. Shlomo Ben-Ami - the major victim of the state commission of inquiry concerning the riots in the Arab sector in October, 2000 - to say a good word about inquests of this type.

The regulations concerning formation of commission are "draconian," he says, "and must be purged from our legislation. This is something that is awful and has no parallel anywhere in the world: People who, let us say, conduct affairs of state in an inexperienced way, who trip up, are treated as if they are accused. They take a government, a governing body, executives, accompanied by lawyers, and put them up in front of a commission that is, by definition, a court whose sole purpose is to hand out a verdict and find who is guilty."

The Orr Commission ruled that Ben-Ami, who served as internal security minister (and foreign minister) in the Barak government, could not receive the security portfolio in a future government. This ridiculous veto does not cause sleepless nights to one of the brightest and most original politicians who ever served in an Israeli cabinet. Today, as an observer from the sidelines of the debate being held in Israeli society, he sees clear indications of the weakness of the political system which, he believes, is a captive of the legal system.

"Had they set up a state commission of inquiry after the first intifada in 1978, they would probably have found that Yitzhak Rabin, who was then defense minister, could no longer assume that post in the future. After all, Rabin spent 10 days in the United States after the first riots. And when he returned home, he did not understand what exactly was happening ... The commission would have asked him why he did not have an assessment, why he did not predict, why there were no intelligence data, why he was so slow in reacting, and they would have found that 'Mr. Security' was not fit to serve as defense minister."

The Israeli dialogue, Ben-Ami says, is oversimplified and superficial. It consists of politicians' statements that "a commission of inquiry must be set up" and "that this person is not suitable, so I should replace him."

Ben-Ami: "They throw out names, including those of Barak and Bibi. Were they really any better? Barak was not a good defense minister. The one who controlled the defense establishment was [Shaul] Mofaz. There is no difference between the eras of Barak and Netanyahu and what we have now. Sharon was a master. But the greatest of those with experience were not successful - neither in the face of the challenges from the outside, nor vis-a-vis the domestic political establishment."

Ben-Ami has made an international career for himself as a lecturer, writer of articles and books, and a member of international organizations and research institutes. Amir Peretz, he believes, has ended his career. With or without a commission, he is finished, says Ben-Ami. He has no credibility, not with the public, not with the party and not within the political system.

Ben-Ami believes that new elections now, however, will bring about an even more fragmented Knesset. Perhaps a body should be set up with new people that can bring about a radical change? The global agenda is too big for anyone who comes to power to handle, he feels. At the same time, all those who achieve power renounce their predecessors' actions and try to reinvent the wheel anew. From the road map to disengagement to convergence.

"All the wheels have already been invented," Ben-Ami says. "We have to change the disc, to go for international support, to go for the international community. To end this dependence on America. It has a long time ago lost its ability to build confidence, to build coalitions. Precisely the limping end to this war is what creates a chance for a diplomatic breakthrough. The time has come now to come to terms with things that in the past we degraded, such as an international solution to the conflict. It is time now to go back to living in the State of Israel that we inhabited before 1967. Our lives were not so bad then."

Al-Qaeda in the Muslim World

by Housewife4Palestine

I am yet to wonder with the recent showing of the Al-Qaeda video prier to the 9/11 anniversary seems a little convient as Mr. Bush is still on his stay the course attitude and the anger as his support plummet’s in the world.

Many people I would think are tired that every time Mr. Bush need’s to reaffirm his hour of terror such things as this appears. I for one now, question Al-Qaeda’s relationship with the United States.

As for some so called secret reports coming out in the last year about materials that could be used for WMD in Iraq, by the United States seems like just another cover my back side by the Bush camp.I for one wonder, when the real truth will ever come foreword because as everything seems now the real resistance 10, Bush zip.

For those who are really resistance fighter’s you hear little about them other then there are fighting and the occasional video coming out of Iraq or Afghanistan. With as much news as possible coming from Palestine because of Israel always trying to do their best to squash such information.

I will agree there are people in the world that do hate the United States and wish them harm due solely because of their political policies in other countries and what does appear to be a full scale war on Islam.

Also, like some people in the United States there is people in the Muslim world that is bombarded with propaganda and keep looking to the left and right trying to understand what really is the truth.

But the organization of Al-Qaeda is not representative of the Islamic world as a whole, because many in the Islamic world have nothing to do with this group in any form. Many do wonder where their allegiance really lies as far as Islamic teachings and the old rumor if Osama Bin Laden is apart or has been apart of the CIA.

For many in the Islamic world do feel that the United States government in what they have done in the recent past, we wouldn’t put it pass them to murder their own people as the would a single Muslim for example in Iraq.
