U.N. Official Calls for Study of Neocons' Role in 9/11 A new U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel [Richard Falk] is calling for an official commission to study the role neoconservatives may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The narrative that the attacks from 2001 were a "false flag" operation is a recurring theme in the literature challenging the consensus conspiracy theory that 19 al-Qaeda hijackers flew commercial jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. False flag refers to espionage or covert actions taken by one government made to seem like the work of another. The false flag thesis has it that the Bush administration is somehow responsible for the September 11 attacks as a pretext for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Iraqi detainees languish uncharged in crowded jails Thamer Hamed described in a shaking voice how he landed in an Iraqi army detention facility on the outskirts of Baghdad. He was visiting his mother in the hospital when Iraqi soldiers raided the hospital and detained him and several others, said Hamed, 22. They handcuffed and blindfolded him and took him to a holding cell at a former U.S. military base, ironically named Camp Constitution, that's been handed over to the Iraqi army. There, he was told that he was accused of murder. That was 45 days ago, and he still hadn't seen a judge, he said. Asked to which religious sect he belongs, he smiled ruefully. "Come on, I'm Sunni. Everyone here is Sunni." Hamed is just one of thousands of prisoners who are locked up in Iraqi-run [US] detention centers.

Leahy is very busy these days as he is ordering people and policy like he's the President. First he tells Hillary to get out of the race and now he's looking to replace Byrd. Why not talk to Senator Byrd first.
As for the woman being raped like the way Woman are talked about and Connie Rice isn't interested in protecting woman. Nothing will happen as these will have no protection.
Bush's polls show be at 1 per cent and that's a vote from his Mother. Daddy Bush must be so embarrassed with the World Leaders laughing at his baby son George. Look for Daddy to come in and clean up after baby George yet again. Most parents look at their kids with pride no matter what they do but I watched Daddy Bush cry and he will be crying alot more in the coming years. Not every ex President has a dumb weak coward drunk druggie idiot son like GW.
Mr Bush called Iran one of the two greatest threats to America in this century....hmmmmmmmmmmmmm???? he must never look in a mirror.
Well, now we know what Beck's problem is--he really is brain damaged from too much booze. He killed off too many brain cells with the booze.
