Canaanite Juvenile “thug's" Attack journalists 1 Injured

AFP's Palestinian photographer Hazem Bader gets medical attention from a Palestinian medic at Al-Ahli hospital in the city of Hebron, on 31 October 2008, after receiving a head injury from a stone thrown at him by a Canaanite juvenile “thug.”

Bader suffered head injuries today, when Canaanite juvenile’s hurled rocks at journalists near the city of Hebron, witnesses said.

In the hospital, Bader received eight stitches and will stay overnight.

Bader was among a group of journalists, who had been trying to circumvent the Canaanite and US media falsified propaganda and get the truth out to the global community of what is actually occurring in Palestine, it was reported.
Canaanite juvenile’s hold stones ready to throw at journalists and Palestinians near the city of Hebron, on 31 October 2008.

Some of this stone throwing was photographed by Jewish photographers in the area.

It has became a growing ideal, to show the global community that there is actually peace in Palestine that it is a country in the manner that it was before there ever was a war; with the growing beauty and harmony that made Palestine for centuries a country built on faith and love towards each and every citizen in the country.

For Palestine, prosperity is not just around the corner, but growing in people’s backyards and with the Canaanite and US slanderous media propaganda, which it has been reported numerous times; actually is initiated by not just the Bush administration, but global terrorist Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas terrorist organization, so people would think horrendous idea’s of war and mayhem that is only being perpetrated by these two propaganda camps or within there own minds.

As to the Canaanite juvenile “thug‘s” throwing stones and lying of who is actually guilty is not just Canaanite propaganda, but what they like to do best; be criminal’s without ever having a different mindset. For the majority of Canaanite’s have always been criminal’s to the tenth degree and always will be.

The one thing that actually makes it bad in cases like this, the overwhelming anti-Semitism that the Canaanite’s have always had; which recently I happened to get part of a Canaanite writing, 'that the Nazi’s should have finished the job of annihilating anyone Semantic and that they planned on finishing the job.'

Hopefully, this will give the global community the actual mindset of the Canaanite’s, there propaganda with the Bush administration collaboration; to falsifying the real truth of the State of Palestine.

Furthermore as to the recent US media propaganda, claiming that some Jewish Palestinians where forced to be Muslim Palestinians is simply a lie; the people of Palestine are not one to change there religious socks every time they turn around; as it occurs much too often in the West. Palestinians regardless of there religion, for thousands of years tend to be very happy with just who they are and appreciate that there neighbors are not necessarily the same religion as them; for Palestinians have a kinship, that goes beyond the simple boundaries of religion. It is all about ancestral family.

Terrorism One by Land Two by Sea

Irish Nobel peace laureate Mairead Maguire (L) is greeted by a Canaanite activist after she arrived with other International activists by boat in the seaport, on 29 October 2008; in Gaza City. Some 27 international Terrorist activists sailed from Larnaca in Cyprus on Tuesday with what was reported as supplies designated for the acts of Canaanite terrorism which they arrived without legal permission, on Wednesday. Allegedly they are scheduled to remain in Gaza for four days.

Quite a number of people from this terrorist activist organization and other’s from Canaanite security force on Monday 27 October 2008; came within the US boundary in an attempt to assassinate HRM Deborah of Palestine, so they could illegally enter Palestine for what became known as terrorist activities.

It is by HRM Deborah of Palestine’s order, that all of these boat people and any more of there type that come on Palestine shore will be arrested for terrorism, as well as illegal entry into the country.
Italian activist Marco Giusti (R) with a comrade the arrival of 20-metre (65-foot) ship 'Dignity' that departed from Cyprus yesterday afternoon, aboard the ship is a member of Abba’s security force; as well as other‘s on the dock.

The terrorist activist are well known associates with global terrorist Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas and his terrorist organization; it is also understood, that Abbas personally ordered for these people and member's of his security force that tried to assassinate HRM Deborah of Palestine. One man in the attack was reported, to be in Abbas's inner counsel.

Furthermore, the boats and there contents will be confiscated, because what was reported; was the cargo content‘s.

Nevertheless, this is not the first time people from Abbas’s organization have tried to assassinate HRM Deborah of Palestine and it is thought it will not be there last; on US soil.

Now Smile for the Photographer's?

From (L-R), Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is threatened with death by U.S. President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush standing-by on the South Lawn of the White House, on 13 October 2008; in Washington, DC.

Berlusconi, who was at the White House for an alleged Columbus Day celebration, made a famous mock Bush joint statement and later attend an official dinner in the State Dinning Room.

US President George W. Bush and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi after threatening him.

It is thought as in similar cases of this type, that “Now Smile for the Photographer's;” must have been said to Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi. Bush does have a notorious reputation of this type of behavior on far too many of these occasions.

Night of Acting Alone 17 Injured

A picture shows, on 23 September 2008 a family photograph of Qassem Mughrabi, a 19-year-old Canaanite from east-Jerusalem who wounded 17 Jews, among them soldiers when he slammed his BMW car into a crowd of people the previous night in central Jerusalem.

Jewish media today raised fears of a growing trend of attacks by Canaanites from east Jerusalem after a man rammed his BMW car into a group of soldiers, injuring 13 people before being shot dead.

It has been reported this was indeed a terrorist attack and the young man acted on his own initiative, this may be further why no single group claimed verifiable responsibility.

As to the parent’s making certain remarks, it is due to not just repercussions by the Jewish people, but more entails the severe repercussions by the real Arab Palestinians; for these type of situation‘s are considered high crimes. It is as though even that the 17 people did survive, but that Mughrabi did try to murder them, by the Islamic law.

As to these types of terrorist attacks being a growing trend, even with the two previous attacks that where used with construction equipment, this is unknown at this time.

From my understanding, while it was very unfortunate that 17 people where injured and two still in serious condition, just knowing they are getting good care and the prospects of recovery are very good, is what is most important at this time.

As to what had to be done to stop this young man, as what had to be done with the previous attacks was warranted, for as it has been said before; this is usually the only way to stop these types of people.

Palestine Security Beefed-Up for Ramadan

A Palestinian woman stops next to a shop selling national flags on her way to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City to attend the second Ramadan Friday prayer, on 12 September 2008.

The Jews have beefed up its police deployments in Jerusalem as thousands of Muslim faithful attended the prayers at Al-Aqsa, Islam's third holiest shrine.

The reason for the tightened security is the hit-and-run latest’s Canaanite terrorists attack’s; such as burning down an empty building, to the stabbing attack on a 9-year-old Jewish boy.

Which is greatly hoped the child will recover fully and these attacks are throttled for everyone’s safety, as well as it is appreciated, that not just the military; but the Jewish police are trying to keep people safe.

Furthermore, as to the latest U.S. media propaganda campaign insulting all Palestinians, it should be known that deaf ears have followed this latest campaign; for the good of everyone involved.

Nevertheless, it has been further reported, that global terrorist, Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas’s latest jet setting expedition in Europe, is showing more of a man with the back flap of his red long johns hanging open; in a very cold winter wind.

Muslim African immigrants attack three Jewish teens in Paris

10 September 2008

By HRM Deborah

It doesn’t matter the religion or what society in the world, there is good and bad people; otherwise, there would be no crime or other unacceptable issue’s occurring in the world.

Case in point, is the recent attack of three Jewish teens by a group of Muslim African immigrants in Paris on Saturday evening, which it should be known that not just anti-Semitism, but any form of racism is unacceptable in Islam as well as one would think in any religious body and it has always been a firm belief that anyone has the right to walk down any sidewalk and feel safe.

Since there is a reoccurring problem on this particular street or area in Paris and this is just a suggestion, because I have no authority to dictate crime policy in France; but rather just suggest that police should be stationed in this area until the problem ceases to keep the French Jewish citizens in the area safe, especially traveling to and from the Synagogue and Chabad school, until these types of crimes would hopefully cease.

While I am appalled over this latest incident especially since the youth’s had to be hospitalized with such injuries, it is hoped they will recover and everything be good for them once more.

No place in the world, regardless of where it is should practice racism or religious persecution in any form nor should these types of attitudes be a means to show the animal nature of mankind to commit such heinous crimes upon anyone.

What has always made it hard for me to write about such issue’s as this, is because I have always believed that people should love and respect each other to the fullness of the sanctity of life no matter what there religion maybe or who they are; for we all should care about each other then do such sorrowful thing as this and I for one understand about things of this nature being an age old survivor of such treatment.

Furthermore, anyone that commits such crimes as this should be held to the full extent of the law with also the hope to stop these sorts of crimes.

Two Jewish Soldiers Injured with Acid at Checkpoint

Palestinians cross the Hawara checkpoint near the city of Nablus, on 10 September 2008.

Two Jewish soldiers were injured today when a Canaanite woman attacked them with acid at the Hawara checkpoint.

This particular attack while it is sometimes classified as an assault in this instance because acid was used and the harm it could very well have caused can also be called attempted murder, as well as an act of terrorism by the Canaanite woman, towards the two Jewish soldiers.

On a different note, it is hoped the two soldiers will recover without to many problems.

Bush Harms Hurricane Gustav Survivors and Jewish Prime Minister Olmert

U.S. President George W. Bush walks under the heavy rain from Tropical Storm Hanna on the South Lawn of the White House upon his return to Washington, DC from Camp David, on 6 September 2008.

by HRM Deborah

It has been brought to my attention and actually the bad joke is on U.S. President George W. Bush in an attempt to try an insure my death, would make American’s in the area where I am at; suffer after Hurricane Gustav under the guise of not enough employee’s at food market’s and other eating establishments.

What Bush seems to forget even though I have been laid up in bed, eventually enough food was found to try and get me on my feet, while I am not up to my full self yet, one thing I am happy to say is; I would not ever try attempted murder on another person.

Furthermore, while Bush claims to be a man of God; a man of God would never do this; for it is an unpardonable sin.

Nevertheless, Bush attacking Jewish Prime Minister Ehud Olmert with false criminal allegations is not just disgusting; but also immoral.

British Diplomats to Hebron

A Jewish settler prays on the roof of a building in the city of Hebron, on 20 March 2007.

By HRM Deborah

It has been acknowledged that some foreign visitors, which come to mind, are the British diplomats that went to Hebron recently and a few who have visited Palestine have either been assaulted by a few settlers or those from Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorism organization.

While this is very unfortunate and I am not making light of this in any manner, from my understanding everything is being done to resolve these problems and should be understood this is unacceptable in Palestine.

While I am yet to understand why Jewish settler’s would do this, especially since they have a better situation now then they have had for over a hundred years; it is a hope, that one day they will understand that violence in any manner is not acceptable within any society or within religion.

Needless to say, not all Jewish settler‘s follow this type of behavior, but can be very helpful and nice.

Furthermore from past experiences, at this particular time these occurrences affects the scope of Palestine, including the Jewish sector.

Nevertheless, I deeply apologize that such as this, would happen to the British diplomats visiting within my country or anyone succumbed to this type of situation.

A Time of Shattered Glass

27 June 2008

by HRM Deborah

The current attacks by various means against Palestinian citizens, especially towards area’s in the Jewish sector, are all coming from various fractions associated with Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization.

Queen Deborah of Palestine, as well as the whole of the Palestine legal government condemns these terrorist actions on all fronts.

Furthermore, the recent attacks by activist against the Jewish military yesterday, was considered an offense against not only of the keeping of peace, but an assault on the Jewish military personal.

Bush: The Dust in the Desert

25 June 2008

The following statement it was reported, to have came from one of the numerous aliases that U.S. President George W. Bush uses over the internet, especially to send slanderous emails to the public.

Furthermore, it was felt that the global public should see, even with the apology of the numerous typos by Bush, an idea of the real man.

The following response by Bush, was from an article that was published from Iranian news called, “Larijani warns Western governments anti-Iran provocation: "

The audasity of Iran is amazing! America and the E.U. have repededly and continualy tried to reach a peaceful solution to the situation in Iran.Iran refuses to come to talks, refuses any and compromise suggested, and basically states that it will do what it pleases and if the world has an issue with that they better not do anything about it because it "will cost heavily". Iran and most of the middle east has long proven that it is a radical, fear creating, war mongering, innocent muredering, care about nothing except what it can benifit from regon. So yes, when you refuse to allow IAEA inspectors access to facilitys and refuse to act like a responsible nation and discuss differences, the world knows your only intrest is in creating necular weapons and plotting to try to try to attack some one, or "wipe Israel off the map" as your absolutly pathetic excuse for a president is so fond of saying. I don't know how you think you can act this way and incurr no reactions. As to what Ali Larijani said recently, NO any attack on Iran will be of your own doing, this is the path that Iran has chosen, and any attack to Iran from Israel America would hold Iran resposible for the attacks, it will be their doing that causes an attack. If I were in charge of America I would impose enormious sanctions against Iran. I would purchase nothing from Iran ( you have absolutly NOTHING we need, we deal with you as a convience to ourself) I would sell nothing to Iran, any country found delivering goods to Iran from obtaining them from the USA would have the same sanctions placed against them. Then I would again ask Iran to come to the table for talks, when they refused, that would be expected, I would then from afar bomb to nothingness any building that gave off even the slightest necular signiture, any military grouping of soldiers, vehicals, or weapons would also be redused to the dust in the desert you're so proud of. Then when you finaly decided to try to act like a civilization I would require large acts of humankind advancement from you before santions would be lifted. Once you showed 20 years of helping humankind insted trying to ruin it, America would start to almost trust what was said from Iran. So go ahead and delete this, I know you wouln't dare post something like this on a patheticaly onesided, out and out lying site such as this, But the fact that you read it will help me sleep at night. In closing I would just like to reiderate that all of the conflict in Iran is caused by Iran and Iran alone, as you will continue to see the international world is trying to resolve this peacfully ( hard concept for radicals, I know, it means with out fighting) and when push comes to shove you will will be the ones paying heavily.

Note:
Many times on this page, I have published things to give an unbiased idea of the two sides of a coin, because it has always been felt, that all people have a voice and I still believe in honesty as the best policy; with the hope the world will one day be a better place for everyone and not a world filled with tears.

Attempted Assassination of Jewish PM along with French President and First Lady

Jewish Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (C) is ushered by security guards into an armored car after a Jewish soldier was shot by Mahmoud Abbas terrorist sniper during a departure ceremony for visiting French president Sarkozy at Ben Gurion International Airport on 24 June 2008 in Tel Aviv. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni -Sarkozy were rushed by bodyguards to board their plane to protect them from an assassination attempt, bringing their three-day visit to Palestine to an abrupt end.

It is further understood that an attempted assassination was also directed towards Jewish Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, along with the French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni -Sarkozy on the tarmac; by Mahmoud Abbas terrorists, collaborating with U.S. President George W. Bush.

While Queen Deborah of Palestine is upset over the murder of the soldier and the two men that where injured, she is relieved to know that Jewish Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and French President Nicolas Sarkozy with his wife, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy were unscathed by this attack.

The Palestine legal government further condemns, any attack upon any Palestinian citizen or visitors to the country.

Furthermore, every action is being taken to remedy this problem.

Abbas Attempts Assassination on French President and First Lady Palestinian People Outraged

French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy are rushed up the steps to the presidential plane at Ben Gurion airport 24 June 2008 in Tel Aviv. During the attempted assassination on there lives, one Jewish solider was killed by a Mahmoud Abbas terrorist sniper.

24 June 2008

Jewish security guards have whisked French President Nicholas Sarkozy and Jewish Prime Minister Ehud Olmert away during an airport departure ceremony.

It remains unclear what brought about the abrupt end to the ceremony. Jewish media have conflicted reports on the cause of the mayhem.

A Jewish official at the scene says a soldier fainted on the tarmac, leading to fears that a gunshot was fired in his direction. He spoke on condition of anonymity because an investigation was under way.

Jewish Police say there was no assassination attempt on Sarkozy; while other sources reported there was.

Earlier today, police said three rockets hit southern part of the Jewish sector and Prime Minister Olmert's office says the cease-fire that took effect last week with Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization has been broken.

Islamic Jihad terrorists from Abbas’s organization in the Gaza Strip says they carried out the attack to avenge an Jewish military raid that allegedly killed one of their fighters in the West Bank early Tuesday; which is unfounded and contrary to other reports.

Jewish national rescue service says two people were lightly wounded in the rocket barrage.

As for the Palestine legal government and the Palestinian people, they are committed to a continuing peace with the Jewish people and are outraged over this attack; as well as the importance to visiting guest’s to Palestine and all citizens in Palestine to be safe.

Furthermore, an incident of this nature is classed as an international incident and is not taken lightly by the global community, as well.

Update:
The soldier that was said to have fainted on the tarmac and later to have been said was a suicide, was actually shot in the head by a Abbas terrorist sniper, it was reported.

Further information has been reported, that this attack was in collaboration with U.S. President George W. Bush; which this is not the first time Bush has attacked a head of government.

As for Jewish Prime Minster Ehud Olmert on making a decision of what to do in this instance, it should be understood he has full support and aid from the Palestinian legal government, in resolving this injustice.

Farmer Wounded by Abbas Terrorist in North Gaza Strip

24 June 2008

BAIT LAHIYA-A farmer was wounded on Monday in the Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahiya.

Jameel al-Ghoul 68 was wounded by terrorist fire as he was working in his field in Beit lahiya. The terrorist that wounded Al-Ghoul, was from Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization, it was reported. He was taken to kamal Edwan hospital.

While in the American media, there were accusations that al-Ghoul was shot by the Jewish military, this is not true.

Furthermore, any accusations of anyone violating of any calm agreement is as always; from Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization, for they have never kept the peace on any matter.

Abuse of detainees routine at U.S. bases in Afghanistan

Adel Zamel said, guards frequently waved sticks at him and threatened to rape him at Bagram during the spring of 2002. During an interview in Kuwait City, March 17, 2007, Zamel shook his head and said he remembered hearing detainees being beaten and "the cries from the interrogation room" at Bagram.

16 June 2008

By TOM LASSETER, McClatchy Newspapers

American soldiers herded the detainees into holding pens of razor-sharp concertina wire, the kind that's used to corral livestock.

The guards kicked, kneed and punched many of the men until they collapsed in pain. U.S. troops shackled and dragged other detainees to small isolation rooms, then hung them by their wrists from chains dangling from the wire mesh ceiling.

Former guards and detainees whom McClatchy interviewed said Bagram was a center of systematic brutality for at least 20 months, starting in late 2001. Yet the soldiers responsible have escaped serious punishment.

The public outcry in the United States and abroad has focused on detainee abuse at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, but sadistic violence first appeared at Bagram, north of Kabul, and at a similar U.S. internment camp at Kandahar Airfield in southern Afghanistan.

"I was punched and kicked at Bagram. . . . At Bagram, when they took a man to interrogation at night, the next morning we would see him brought out on a stretcher looking almost dead," said Aminullah, an Afghan who was held there for a little more than three months. "But at Guantanamo, there were rules, there was law."

Nazar Chaman Gul, an Afghan who was held at Bagram for more than three months in 2003, said he was beaten about every five days. American soldiers would walk into the pen where he slept on the floor and ram their combat boots into his back and stomach, Gul said. "Two or three of them would come in suddenly, tie my hands and beat me," he said.

When the kicking started, Gul said, he'd cry out, "I am not a terrorist," then beg God for mercy. Mercy was slow in coming. He was shipped to Guantanamo around the late summer of 2003 and imprisoned there for more than three years.

According to Afghan officials and a review of his case, Gul wasn't a member of al Qaida or of the extremist Taliban regime that ran Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. At the time he was detained, he was working as a fuel depot guard for the U.S.-backed Afghan government.

When U.S. soldiers raided the house he was visiting, acting on a tip from a tribal rival who was seeking revenge against another man, they apparently confused Gul with a militant with a similar name — who was also imprisoned at Guantanamo, according to an Afghan intelligence official and Gul's American lawyer.

The eight-month McClatchy investigation found a pattern of abuse that continued for years. The abuse of detainees at Bagram has been reported by U.S. media organizations, in particular The New York Times, which broke several developments in the story. But the extent of the mistreatment, and that it eclipsed the alleged abuse at Guantanamo, hasn't previously been revealed.

Guards said they routinely beat their prisoners to retaliate for al Qaida's 9-11 attacks, unaware that the vast majority of the detainees had little or no connection to al Qaida.

Former detainees at Bagram and Kandahar said they were beaten regularly. Of the 41 former Bagram detainees whom McClatchy interviewed, 28 said that guards or interrogators had assaulted them. Only eight of those men said they were beaten at Guantanamo Bay.

Because President Bush loosened or eliminated the rules governing the treatment of so-called enemy combatants, however, few U.S. troops have been disciplined under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and no serious punishments have been administered, even in the cases of two detainees who died after American guards beat them.

In an effort to assemble as complete a picture as possible of U.S. detention practices, McClatchy reporters interviewed 66 former detainees, double-checked key elements of their accounts, spoke with U.S. soldiers who'd served as detention camp guards and reviewed thousands of pages of records from Army courts-martial and human rights reports.

The Bush administration refuses to release full records of detainee treatment in the war on terrorism, and no senior Bush administration official would agree to an on-the-record interview to discuss McClatchy's findings.

The most violent of the major U.S. detention centers, the McClatchy investigation found, was Bagram, an old Soviet airstrip about 30 miles outside Kabul. The worst period at Bagram was the seven months from the summer of 2002 to spring of 2003, when interrogators there used techniques that when repeated later at Abu Ghraib led to wholesale abuses.

New detainees were shoved to the floor of a cavernous warehouse, a former Soviet aircraft machine shop that stayed dim all day, and kept in pens where they weren't allowed to speak or look at guards.

The Afghan government initially based a group of intelligence officers at Bagram, but they were pushed out. Mohammed Arif Sarwari, the head of Afghanistan's national security directorate from late 2001 to 2003, said he got a letter from U.S. commanders in mid-2002 telling him to get his men out of Bagram.

Sarwari thought that was a bad sign: The Americans, he thought, were creating an island with no one to watch over them.

"I said I didn't want to be involved with what they were doing at Bagram — who they were arresting or what they were doing with them," he said in an interview in Kabul.

The rate of reported abuse was higher among men who were held at the U.S. camp at Kandahar Airfield. Thirty-two out of 42 men held there whom McClatchy interviewed claimed that they were knocked to the ground or slapped about. But former detainees said the violence at Bagram was much harsher.

The brutality at Bagram peaked in December 2002, when U.S. soldiers beat two Afghan detainees, Habibullah and Dilawar, to death as they hung by their wrists.

Dilawar died on Dec. 10, seven days after Habibullah died. He'd been hit in his leg so many times that the tissue was "falling apart" and had "basically been pulpified," said then-Lt. Col. Elizabeth Rouse, the Air Force medical examiner who performed the autopsy on him.

Had Dilawar lived, Rouse said in sworn testimony, "I believe the injury to the legs are so extensive that it would have required amputation."

After Habibullah died, a legal officer for U.S. forces in Afghanistan asked two military police guards at Bagram to demonstrate how they'd chained detainees' wrists above their heads in a small plywood isolation cell.

"Frankly, it didn't look good," Maj. Jeff Bovarnick, the legal adviser for the Bagram detention center from November 2002 to June 2003, said during a military investigation hearing in June 2005.

"This guy is chained up and has a hood on his head," Bovarnick continued. "The two MPs that were demonstrating this took about five minutes to get everything hook(ed) up; and I was thinking to myself, if this was a combative detainee, it must have been a real struggle for them to get him to comply, and the things they must have been doing to make him comply."

The only American officer who's been reprimanded for the deaths of Habibullah and Dilawar is Army Capt. Christopher Beiring, who commanded the 377th Military Police Company from the summer of 2002 to the spring of 2003.

Beiring told investigators that he'd received no formal training in leading a military police company, "just the correspondence courses and on-the-job training."

Then-Lt. Col. Thomas S. Berg, the Army lawyer who investigated Beiring in the deaths of Habibullah and Dilawar, argued that: "The government failed to present any evidence of what are 'approved tactics, techniques and procedures in detainee operations.' "

On Berg's recommendation, the charges against Beiring were dropped, and he was given a letter of reprimand.

"It's extremely hard to wage war with so many undefined rules and roles," Beiring said in a phone interview with McClatchy. "It was very crazy."

The commander of the military intelligence section that worked alongside Beiring's military police company at Bagram, Capt. Carolyn Wood, declined to comment.

The soldier who faced the most serious charges, Spc. Willie Brand, admitted that he hit Dilawar about 37 times, including some 30 times in the flesh around the knees during one session in an isolation cell.

Brand, who faced up to 11 years in prison, was reduced in rank to private — his only punishment — after he was found guilty of assaulting and maiming Dilawar.

'EVERYBODY STRUCK A DETAINEE'

U.S. soldiers' testimony in military investigations after the deaths of Habibullah and Dilawar suggested that detainee abuse at Bagram occurred from the summer of 2002 to spring of 2003, a period of about seven months.

Soldiers who served at Bagram before that time said detainees were never beaten. Col. Matthew Bogdanos, a Marine Reserves officer who worked there from December 2001 to April 2002, said in an interview that none of the soldiers or American operatives he knew had resorted to abusing detainees.

An Army interrogator who was based at Bagram in the spring of 2002 and later wrote a book under the pseudonym of Chris Mackey for security reasons, said in an e-mail exchange that while soldiers pushed the limits — such as using stress positions and sleep deprivation — he never saw or heard of detainees getting beaten.

Former detainees interviewed by McClatchy and by some human rights groups, however, claimed that the violence was rampant from late 2001 until the summer of 2003 or later, at least 20 months.

Although they were at Bagram at different times and speak different languages, the 28 former detainees who told McClatchy that they'd been abused there told strikingly similar stories:

Bashir Ahmad, a Pakistani who fought with the Taliban, said that in the late spring or summer of 2003, U.S. troops would chain him to the ceiling by his hands or feet. "Then they would punch me or hit me with a wood rod," he said.

Brahim Yadel, a French citizen, said he was punched and slapped during interrogations at Bagram in December 2001.

Moazzem Begg, a British citizen, said he was assaulted regularly at Bagram for most of 2002, until he was transferred to Guantanamo in January 2003.

Akhtar Mohammed, an Afghan, said that at Bagram during the spring of 2003, "when they moved me to the interrogation room they covered my eyes, and took me up steep stairs. I always fell on the ground. And when I fell down, they punched and kicked me."

Abdul Haleem, a Pakistani, said that U.S. soldiers threw him to the ground at Bagram in 2003 and kicked him in the head, "like they were playing soccer."

Adel al Zamel, a Kuwaiti, said guards frequently waved sticks at him and threatened to rape him at Bagram during the spring of 2002. During an interview in Kuwait City, Zamel shook his head and said he remembered hearing detainees being beaten and "the cries from the interrogation room" at Bagram.

He wasn't the only person to report sexual humiliation.

Sgt. Selena Salcedo, a U.S. military intelligence officer, said that sometime between August 2002 and February 2003 she saw another interrogator, Pfc. Damien Corsetti, pull down the pants of a detainee and leave his genitals exposed.

In a 2005 sworn statement in the court-martial of Corsetti, she said she'd left the room and that when she'd returned the detainee was bent over a table and Corsetti was waving a plastic bottle near his buttocks. She said she didn't know whether the detainee had been raped.

Corsetti was acquitted of any wrongdoing. He didn't respond to a request for comment submitted through his attorney. Salcedo pleaded guilty to kicking a detainee — Dilawar — and grabbing his ears during a December 2002 interrogation.

Soldiers who served at Bagram starting in the summer of 2002 confirmed that detainees there were struck routinely.

"Whether they got in trouble or not, everybody struck a detainee at some point," said Brian Cammack, a former specialist with the 377th Military Police Company, an Army Reserve unit from Cincinnati. He was sentenced to three months in military confinement and a dishonorable discharge for hitting Habibullah.

Spc. Jeremy Callaway, who admitted to striking about 12 detainees at Bagram, told military investigators in sworn testimony that he was uncomfortable following orders to "mentally and physically break the detainees." He didn't go into detail.

"I guess you can call it torture," said Callaway, who served in the 377th from August 2002 to January 2003.

Many human rights experts say the U.S. military began cracking down on detainee abuse at Bagram in 2004, in response to the public outcry over pictures of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

RETRIBUTION FOR 9-11

Asked why someone would abuse a detainee, Callaway told military investigators: "Retribution for September 11, 2001."

When detainees first had their hoods removed on arriving at Bagram, looming behind them was a large American flag and insignia of the New York Police Department, a reminder of Sept. 11.

Almost none of the detainees at Bagram, however, had anything to do with the terrorist attacks.

Bovarnick, the former chief legal officer for operational law in Afghanistan and Bagram legal adviser, said in a sworn statement that of some 500 detainees he knew of who'd passed through Bagram, only about 10 were high-value targets, the military's term for senior terrorist operatives.

That hardly mattered.

Khaled al Asmr, a tall, gaunt Jordanian, was hauled off a U.S. military cargo plane at Bagram in early 2002. Flown in from Pakistan in heavy shackles and with a hood on his head, he was accused of being an al Qaida operative with possible connections to the Sept. 11 attacks.

Standing in an interrogation room, Asmr said, he'd already been punched in the face several times by American guards. Two Americans walked into the room, wearing civilian clothes. They pulled out pistols and held them to either side of his head as a third American man entered and walked up to Asmr, according to his account.

The third man leaned toward Asmr's face and whispered, his breath warm, "I am here to save you from these people, but you must tell me you are al Qaida."

Asmr, who told his story to a McClatchy reporter in Jordan, was declared no longer an enemy combatant after a 2004 U.S. military tribunal at Guantanamo. He said he'd known some al Qaida leaders, but that was more than 15 years earlier, during the U.S.-backed Afghan uprising against the Soviets.

Nazar Gul was of even less intelligence value. None of the Afghan security or intelligence officials whom McClatchy interviewed said they'd heard of Gul, making it unlikely that he was the dangerous insurgent the U.S. said he was.

Gul's American attorney, Ruben L. Iniguez, went to Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2006 to check the details of his story of working as a guard for the Afghan government, and later said in sworn court filings — which included videotaped testimony by witnesses — and in an interview with McClatchy that every fact checked out.

A LAWLESS PLACE

The mistreatment of detainees at Bagram, some legal experts said, may have been a violation of the 1949 Geneva Convention on prisoners of war, which forbids violence against or humiliating treatment of detainees.

The U.S. War Crimes Act of 1996 imposes penalties up to death for such mistreatment.

At Bagram, however, the rules didn't apply. In February 2002, President Bush issued an order denying suspected Taliban and al Qaida detainees prisoner-of-war status. He also denied them basic Geneva protections known as Common Article Three, which sets a minimum standard for humane treatment.

Without those parameters, it's difficult to say what acts were or were not war crimes, said Charles Garraway, a former colonel and legal adviser for the British army and a leading international expert on military law.

Bush's order made it hard to prosecute soldiers for breaking such rules under the military's basic law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, in large part because defense attorneys could claim that troops on the ground didn't know what was allowed.

In sweeping aside Common Article Three, the Bush administration created an environment in which abuse such as that at Bagram was more likely, said Garraway, a former professor at the U.S. Naval War College.

"I think it's completely predictable, because you no longer have standards," he said.

In 2006, Bush pushed Congress to narrow the definition of a war crime under the War Crimes Act, making prosecution even more difficult.

UNTRAINED, UNDISCIPLINED

The military police at Bagram had guidelines, Army Regulation 190-47, telling them they couldn't chain prisoners to doors or to the ceiling. They also had Army Regulation 190-8, which said that humiliating detainees wasn't allowed.

Neither was applicable at Bagram, however, said Bovarnick, the former senior legal officer for the installation.

The military police rulebook saying that enemy prisoners of war should be treated humanely didn't apply, he said, because the detainees weren't prisoners of war, according to the Bush administration's decision to withhold Geneva Convention protections from suspected Taliban and al Qaida detainees.

The military police guide for the Army correctional system, which prohibits "securing a prisoner to a fixed object, except in emergencies," wasn't applicable, either, because Bagram wasn't a correctional facility, Bovarnick told investigators in 2004.

"I do not believe there is a document anywhere which states that . . . either regulation applies, and there is clear guidance by the secretary of defense that detainees were not EPWs," enemy prisoners of war, Bovarnick said.

Compounding the problem, military police guards and interrogators lacked proper training and received little instruction from commanders about how to do their jobs, according to sworn testimony taken during military investigations and interviews by McClatchy.

The guards who worked there from the summer of 2002 to the spring of 2003 were all reservists from the 377th Military Police Company, based in Cincinnati, and many of the military intelligence interrogators serving at the same time were from the Utah Army National Guard.

Good order and discipline had evaporated.

1st Sgt. Betty Jones said during a 2004 interview with investigators that a fellow military police sergeant and his men on several occasions were "drunk to the point that they could not go to duty."

Salcedo, the military intelligence soldier, said in her statement at Corsetti's court-martial that she and others drank alcohol during their time at Bagram, and at one point smoked hashish on the roof of a building.

Cammack told McClatchy that one of his sergeants drove a John Deere Gator, a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle, to a nearby town and traded with locals for bottles of vodka.

"Really, nobody was in charge . . . the leadership did nothing to help us. If we had any questions, it was pretty much 'figure it out on your own,' " Cammack said. "When you asked about protocol they said it's a work in progress."

PENTAGON RESPONSE

Senior Pentagon officials refused to be interviewed for this article. In response to a series of questions and interview requests, Col. Gary Keck, a Defense Department spokesman, released this statement:

"The Department of Defense policy is clear — we treat all detainees humanely. The United States operates safe, humane and professional detention operations for unlawful enemy combatants at war with this country."

No U.S. military officer above the rank of captain has been called to account for what happened at Bagram.

The head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan when prisoners were being abused at Bagram, then-Lt. Gen. Dan K. McNeill, declined an interview request. McNeill was later made the commander of all NATO forces in Afghanistan, a post he held until recently.

His predecessor, then-Maj. Gen. Franklin L. "Buster" Hagenbeck, said in an e-mail exchange that from late 2001 to 2002, his attention wasn't on detainee facilities.

"Unfortunately, I have nothing to add to your reporting . . . I was focused on battling the Taliban and al Qaida, as well as reconstruction and coordinating with the nascent Afghan government," Hagenbeck wrote. "I do not personally know of any abuses while I was there, and we focused on treating all with dignity and respect — even, and perhaps especially, those persons in our custody."

Hagenbeck is now the superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Capt. Carolyn Wood, who led the interrogators at Bagram, was sent to Abu Ghraib in the summer of 2003 and assumed control of interrogation operations there that August.

A military investigation that followed the Abu Ghraib scandal — known as the "Fay-Jones Report" for the two generals who authored it — found that from July 2003 to February of 2004, 27 military intelligence personnel there allegedly encouraged or condoned the abuse of detainees, violated established interrogation procedures or participated in abuse themselves.

The abuse resembled what former Bagram detainees described.

A key factor in serious cases of abuse at Abu Ghraib, the report found, was the construction of isolation areas, a move requested by Wood, who said that "based on her experience" such facilities made it easier to extract information from detainees.

Wood remains an active-duty military intelligence officer.

Halliburton Rape Claim Goes to Court

13 May 2008

United States-A Houston woman who says she was gang-raped by co-workers at a Halliburton/KBR camp in Baghdad won a major court battle last week when a Texas judge ordered that she can bring her case to court instead of forcing her into secretive arbitration proceedings with Halliburton and KBR.

“We are ecstatic that [District Judge Keith Ellison] had the courage to uphold justice in this case,” Jamie Leigh Jones’ attorney Todd Kelly said after the decision.

KBR said late Monday that they may appeal the judge’s decision. “KBR will review the judge’s opinion and will continue to vigorously defend itself which may include an appeal,” the company said in a statement to ABCNews.com.

Jones says that after she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp in the Green Zone, the company put her under guard in a shipping container with a bed and warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she’d be out of a job.

Jones told ABCNews.com that she hopes other sexual abuse claims will also now be able to go before a jury rather than into arbitration. “I am hopeful that the judge’s decision will open the door for other victims to seek justice against military contractors who fail to protect their employees from sexual abuse,” Jones told ABCNews.com.

Jones returned from Iraq following her alleged rape in 2005. She was the subject of an exclusive ABC News report in December, which led to congressional hearings.

After months of waiting for criminal charges to be filed, Jones decided to file suit against Halliburton and KBR.

KBR had moved for Jones’ claim to be heard in private arbitration, instead of a public courtroom, as provided under the terms of her original employment contract.

Ellison, however, wrote in his order Friday that Jones’ claims of sexual assault, battery, rape, false imprisonment and others fall beyond the scope of her employment contract.

“The Court does not believe that Plaintiff’s bedroom should be considered the workplace, even though her housing was provided by her employer,” Ellison wrote.

Ellison did, however, rule that a sexual harassment claim that Jones included in her case against her supervisor in Texas would have to be decided in arbitration.

Halliburton, which has since divested itself of KBR, has said it is improperly named in the suit and has referred calls to KBR.

In arbitration, there is no public record nor transcript of the proceedings and Jones’ claims would not have been heard before a judge and jury.

VIDEO: Palestinian Woman Films Masked Men Attacking Palestinian Farmers

14 June 2008

Hebron-The Jewish human rights group B'Tselem released a video on Friday which it said showed the start of an assault on Palestinian farmers by masked, stick-wielding Israeli settlers.

The footage shows four people with faces swathed in scarves and holding sticks, approaching the farmers near Susya settlement outside Hebron in the West Bank. One strikes a blow before the camera is dropped.

B'Tselem said the woman who was filming ran for help.



By HRM Deborah

There is one problem with this video scenario, the masked people that approached the farmers where not Jewish settler’s, but Mahmoud Abbas terrorists impersonating settlers, to apparently create dissention between the Palestinian people and the Jewish settlers.

While the Palestinian farmer’s where indeed injured, the Jewish settler’s are not guilty for this assault.

Furthermore, it is contended why a video such as this is rare and as for assaults by Jewish settler’s on Palestinians is also becoming more of a thing of the past with less frequency, more isolated.

Jerusalem camera catches brutal attack by Jewish teens on Arab youths

Jews stood in silence as sirens mark the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day, 1 May 2008 in Tel Aviv.

28 May 2008
By Uri Blau

Dozens of Jewish teens were caught on camera outside a Jerusalem mall carrying out a brutal attack on two Arab youths on Holocaust Remembrance Day earlier this month.

Some two weeks ago, indictments were filed against 11 youths, eight of them minors, suspected of having perpetrated the attack in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood. According to the indictment, the boys responded to a message on the ICQ instant messaging internet program calling for "Jewish blood" to "put an end to Arabs running around the Pisga." According to the indictment, the Jewish teens gathered outside the local shopping center armed with knives, sticks and bats and attacked two Arab teens, aged 16 and 18, from the nearby Shuafat refugee camp.

One of the Arab youths, Ahmed Abu Camal, was stabbed in the back, but managed to escape. His friend was described by one of the suspects during questioning as a "trampoline and a punching bag." The suspect recounted how "everyone jumped, kicked and stepped on him."

In the video footage, a group of teens can be seen waiting outside the shopping mall. At around 11 P.M. the two victims can be seen walking past the group. After a short dialogue, the video shows one of the victims being hurled into the street, pushed toward the railing and then viciously attacked.

In his testimony, the victim told police officers that "a group of children, numbering more than 80, pounced on us and they had bats and knives in their hands and they attacked us. All I remember now is that I passed out and woke up in the hospital."

The video shows Abu Camal fleeing the scene chased by a number of Jewish teens. In a recent conversation, he said "when I passed by the entrance there was a large crowd of young men who just stood there while I walked between them on the shoulder of the street. I heard them talking among themselves and they said something like 'are those them? Are they them?' and then someone stuck a knife in my back and knocked me down and continued to beat me. One guy bit my ear. I don't know how I managed to get up, but I got up and ran away."

The video footage shows the Jewish teens fleeing the area after a car passes by. The unconscious Arab teen can be seen left on the side of the road until he is taken away by what appears to be shopping mall security staff.

On Sunday, the Supreme Court decided to release all the suspects that remained in custody to house arrest. Attorney Yehuda Shushan, who represented three of the suspects, said "there is no doubt that this incident must be dealt with from an educational point of view, but at the same time each suspect should be judged according to his individual level of involvement. It is doubtful that those who were present but did nothing should be charged, otherwise.
