1. Not really your Gannon type....

n/t

[Cleita]

2. According to Laura Flanders this afternoon, she had

dug into the Falluja genocide to be able to call it that, but we all knew that didn't we, while it was happening. The USA military is really fucked up (not her words) throughout Iraq and she can expose it with proof. They do not want her to report what she knows. Her government is trying to quiet this too but it's gotten out of hand and they won't be able to silence it. Of course, they are accusing her of being a communist.

[whistle]

3. Plus they tried to assassinate her

4. I Have Heard That Photos

which she and an associate possess were sought after. This is only in the rumor mill we shall see. Expect a PR blitz to discredit her and I suspect we may actually see alot on this in the US media in the sense that the water will get muddied with all sorts of "officials say" type reporting. It will then die a silent death in the Times and W.POst.




This from Giuliana Sgrena:

"10,000 prisoners are still locked in American and British prisons in Iraq. Most are Iraqis but there are also 350 foreigners. The figures were supplied by the Iraqi Minister of Human Rights, Bakhtiar Amin. These numbers are in strong contrast with the claims made some time ago by the Americans that the number of prisoners had been considerably reduced after the releases following the scandal of Abu Ghraib. Apparently the number of prisoners has been swelled by numerous arrests of the survivors of the attacks on Samarra, Falluja and Mosul.  According to Minister Amin, the breakdown of the prison population is: 4,691 prisoners in Camp Bucca, near the port of Umm Qasr and 818 at Al Shuaiba (Bassura), both under British control;  3,411 are to be found at the notorious torture site Abu Ghraib;  104 on the other hand are “special” detainees, among them Saddam Hussein, who is being held in isolation in Camp Cropper near Baghdad Airport.  It was predictable that the number of detainees would rise as a result of the campaign launched by the occupation forces, with the support of the pro-American government of Allawi,  to eliminate resistance in view of the forthcoming elections. This was confirmed by Riyadh al Adhadh, in charge of enviromental policy of the citizens council of Adhamiya (Baghdad) in his testimony to the Rome forum of the World Tribunal on Iraq on 17 December. In the course of his duties he had been able to visit the prisons, where he said he had also found children under 16 and people over 63. The disturbing fact, apart from the numbers, is the treatment of prisoners in open violation of all international conventions:  pictures of the tortures have been circulated around the world and the responsibility of the governors is constantly confirmed. Nor is this all.  Frequently prisoners are not charged formally with any crime: the sole purpose is to extort information about the resistance, and detainees do not even have the right to the aid of a lawyer.  The occupation forces are acting in defiance of international law and with absolute impunity with respect not only to the Iraqis but also to the foreign detainees."

5. The Europeans won't let this die regardless of

what the NYTimes and WAPost do. The truth will come out and I hope we will be able to spread it.

[oasis]

6. We're not letting it die. kick

[anarchy1999]

7. I'm with you, please all of us we are not going to let this die. It's

been a lot for us to take in a very short amount of time. It is just more shock and awe therapy.

We will make this be important and we will stand strong, maybe.

If not, then maybe the rest of the world will do so on our behalf. I'm so sorry for us all.

8. Don't worry people-This will only die in America!

This story will be "killed" quicker than Gannon in the US. Gannon only implicates Rove etc and is really a US Domestic problem. This "murder" of an Italian military secret service agent saving the life of a "communist" journalist who knows exactly what went"down" in Fallujah is nothing to worry the American public about. Move on!!!
However, unfortunately for "The Bush Gang" this will not play well in the "Rest of the World"!! We already know what went "down" in Fallujah! To us this looks like a job carried out to ensure that you guys don't know!!! Can't spoil your innocent minds!!!
