05-30-07 - Six days of war, 40 years of secrecy This statement by Stephen Forslund (US Air Force intelligence analyst) is clear enough: "The transcripts made specific reference to the efforts to direct the jets to the target, which was identified as American numerous times by the ground controller. The ground control began asking about the status of the target and whether it was sinking. They stressed that the target must be sunk and leave no trace." These men and the families of those that were killed deserve to have their day in court. Who in their right mind would want this travesty of justice to remain so? This is a great article, and one that will never ever be replicated in any mainstream US news medium. The Israeli lobby makes sure of that.
05-30-07 - Remember the Liberty! "If Israel did deliberately attack the most powerful nation on Earth, it knows it can do so and get away with murder. Worse still, U.S. military personnel now know that if the truth is politically inconvenient, they and their legacy are expendable." There is no 'if' about it. That flag was flying that day, as per the testimony of the sailors on board. And I take THEIR word over that of the ATTACKERS (a FOREIGN nation), as one would THINK that our government would do as well. Not so. Israel got away with not just murder, but war crimes. In the not so recent past, Israel got away with it again. Our government does NOTHING, even if the face of this: But instead of punishing the attackers, Israel honors them in a museum. Told of the display, retired Air Force Major General John Morrison, NSA deputy director for operations at the time, commented, "I am offended by that." And retired Army Lieutenant General William Odom, NSA director from 1985 to 1988, and also unaware of the display, remarked, "I am astonished that Israel should put glory on the people who killed my SigInt-ers [signals intelligence personnel]."10 The Liberty's blood-stained flag is exhibited at the National Cryptologic Museum in Fort Meade, Maryland. The US Naval Institute has evidently taken that article down. Thanks to the Internet Archiver, it lives on.

05-30-07 - REFLECTION: Jerusalem - Unified or Occupied? since 1967 Israel has continued to seize
land to build settlements on the Palestinian side of the armistice line. This is
a clear violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention which specifically prohibits
an occupying force from settling its own civilian population within occupied
territory. The Israeli settlement enclaves within Palestinian territory, and the
numerous "Israeli-only" roads that connect them, now present a major obstacle to
the establishment of a viable Palestinian state along side Israel. Even now, the
Separation Barrier Israel has erected continues to confiscate land deep inside
the West Bank, further diminishing what territory is left to Palestinians.

05-30-07 - King Herod's return It has totally escaped the good professor Reich's attention the fact that those artifacts that Israel 'discovered' were located in occupied Palestinian territory. Thus, they do not belong to Israel. And furthermore, just because there is existence of one's purported ancestors therein, does not give anyone the right to come back THOUSANDS of years later, take land by force and claim it as their own based on the dubious ancestral claims. BS of the highest order. My ancestors came from all over Europe, does that give me the right to kick the current tenant's out and take their homes by force since my ancestor may have lived there? They'd laugh my ass right out the door, or worse - rightly so.
