03-30-07 - Secret Briefing by Zinni Seen as Key In Aipac Duo Trial Defense lawyers have sought the testimony of those in attendance to demonstrate to the jury that meetings between administration officials and Jewish representatives were common practice, and that intelligence was frequently shared during these powwows without the participants knowing the information was classified. But, as first reported in the Forward last month, the Jewish representatives who attended the meeting are refusing to cooperate with the defense team......In Zinni, the defense team would be turning to a harsh critic of both the Iraq War and neoconservatives at the Pentagon, who according to Zinni thought the invasion would stabilize American interests in the Middle East and strengthen Israel's position. "I think it's the worst-kept secret in Washington. That everybody - everybody I talk to in Washington - has known and fully knows what their agenda was and what they were trying to do," said Zinni in a May 2004 interview with the CBS News program "60 Minutes."
Zinni - one of the good guys :) In a nation whose media and politicians are so cowed by this lobby, it is welcome to find such a rare person that has the cojones to stand up to them. In my book, that puts them on par with the founding fathers of this nation.

03-30-07 - House to consider 'human shield' resolution The U.S. House of Representatives is to consider a resolution condemning Hezbollah for using "human shields" during its war against Israel.
The only problem with this piece of legislation for Israel is that in its exhaustive research of that conflict, Human Rights Watch found no such evidence that Hezbollah was using human shields. In fact, Israel only recently was caught (on tape via AP) doing that very thing. Add to that the fact that Israel, knowing that a ceasefire was imminent (expected in 3 days), fired a million cluster bomblets into mainly civilian areas of Lebanon. These bomblets have continued to kill and maim Lebanese and foreign officials that are trying to find and destroy them. Israel has to this day refused to provide the UN with detailed maps of where it shot off the cluster bombs. My guess is because that would offer definitive proof that ISRAEL TARGETED CIVILIAN AREAS. Lastly, this is not a matter for Capitol Hill. So much legislation is being passed in the halls therein that has nothing to do with THIS country. In fact, it seems to be taking up increasingly more valuable time that could be devoted to matters of import to the AMERICAN people. You know, the ones that are PAYING THE $@@$%ING TAXES. Here is an older HRW report on Israel's use of human shields in Jenin.
