'Half of Gaza war dead civilians'An Israeli human rights group has said more than half of the Palestinians killed in the 22-day Israeli offensive on Gaza were civilians. The new figures contradict an Israeli military claim that most of the dead were members of armed resistance groups. But the report issued by the B'Tselem organisation on Wednesday was broadly in line with those reports published by groups such as Amnesty International and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights after the war on Gaza ended in January.
New Zealand Students Withdraw Bounty for Arrest of War Criminal Condoleezza Rice after Police Terrorist ThreatsAuckland University Students' Association (AUSA) tonight retracted its $5000 reward for any student who makes a citizen's arrest of United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. AUSA president David Do said it was withdrawing the reward in the interests of safety, but the association would still support any student who sought to arrest Dr Rice.
U.S. Okayed Korean War MassacresThe American colonel, troubled by what he was hearing, tried to stall at first. But the declassified record shows he finally told his South Korean counterpart it "would be permitted" to machine-gun 3,500 political prisoners, to keep them from joining approaching enemy forces. In the early days of the Korean War, other American officers observed, photographed and confidentially reported on such wholesale executions by their South Korean ally, a secretive slaughter believed to have killed 100,000 or more leftists and supposed sympathizers, usually without charge or trial, in a few weeks in mid-1950.
Bush: "I was Aware" of Harsh TacticsPresident Bush says he knew his top national security advisers discussed and approved specific details about how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to an exclusive interview with ABC News Friday.

Truth was first US casualty in Iraq warWASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush and his top officials ran roughshod over the truth in the run-up to the Iraq war lying a total of 935 times, a study released Wednesday found.Bush and his then secretary of state Colin Powell made the most false statements as they sought to drum up support for the March 2003 invasion to topple Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, the study alleged.
The Turks haven't learned the British way of denying past atrocitiesIn his book Late Victorian Holocausts, published in 2001, Mike Davis tells the story of famines that killed between 12 and 29 million Indians. These people were, he demonstrates, murdered by British state policy. When an El Niño drought destituted the farmers of the Deccan plateau in 1876 there was a net surplus of rice and wheat in India. But the viceroy, Lord Lytton, insisted that nothing should prevent its export to England. In 1877 and 1878, at the height of the famine, grain merchants exported a record 6.4m hundredweight of wheat.
Declassified study puts Vietnam events in new lightTuesday, January 08 2008 @ 05:50 PM UTC Contributed by: Anonymous Views: 499 WASHINGTON - US signals intelligence – the much-vaunted ability of American military and spy units to eavesdrop on the radio calls and other electronic communications of an adversary – failed at crucial moments during the Vietnam War, according to a just-declassified National Security Agency history of the effort.
The 41st kilometer: Gaza, "A Zoo"Wednesday, October 17 2007 @ 03:04 PM UTC Contributed by: Anonymous Views: 457 A zoo. This is one of the ways that Palestinians describe the conditions under which nearly 1.5 million of them have been living: in an area of some 360 square kilometers, closed in on three sides by sophisticated barbed-wire fences, concrete walls and military lookout towers, and to the west by Israeli navy ships that seal them off from the sea. Overhead, in the sky, unmanned aircraft and hot air balloons continually photograph whatever happens inside this closed cage, which has seven gates connecting it to the world, all of which are sealed off almost hermetically.
