Planting pills on corpses.
Licence to kill - the battle against drugs in Thailand On Dateline on Wednesday, April 2 at 8.30pm David OShea reports on the Thai governments crackdown on drugs in which over 1500 people have died since January. The victims include a one-year-old child and a pregnant woman. The frontline in Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawats war on drugs is the Thai police who are under threat of dismissal if they do not meet government targets. The success of the campaign is being measured in statistics which means numbers of addicts arrested or killed. OShea attends a crisis meeting of a provincial police force in Chiang Rai, held in response to government criticism of its poor performance. Twenty-four hours later the forces performance has improved six people associated with drugs have been shot dead. Opposition senator Kraisak Choohawan and forensic scientist Dr Pornthip claim police are fabricating evidence to hide their involvement with the killings including planting pills on corpses. Even the deputy commander of the Chiang Rai police admits that some of his force are involved in the killings, but says that it is justified as self defence. To effectively stop the drug trade the government will have to tackle two main roots of the problem the involvement of large sections of the Thai establishment in the trade and the manufacture and supply of drugs from Burma. Prime Minister Thaksin has spoken of a black list of powerful Thai figures including military, police and government which has 700 names on it. He insists he will act on the list but so far no serious action has been taken. Thats Dateline , this Wednesday April 2 at 8.30 pm.
Lessons Learnt.
I have learned my lessons from the Police. 1) It's Okay to tell lies,eg.Some police lied to me to gain entry to my house. 2) It's Okay to carry a concealed knife,one of the police who lied to gain entry did and he waved it at me. 3) It's Okay to carry concealed chemical weapons,going by TV news footage. 4) It's Okay to make a citizens arrest on a cop and use them as a battering ram,going by TV news footage. 5)It's Okay to rip off police headgear. 6) It's Okay to keep photo's and files on them as certain of them appear very prone to violence. 7)It's Okay to expose these 'perps' on the (independent) Media...in fact it's a public service. 8) It's Okay to sue the violent police,many millions seem to have been paid recently,one police dept.Riverside near LA,is being sued for 100 million dollars by jimmy Cochrane. 9) It's Okay to take out futures contracts on police,politician's and radio goons,see tradesports and stiffs.com 10) Most important is that it is Okay to defend yrself.Even if you inadvertently cause the death of your police assailant.

'U.S. view of war is like U.S. coffee: filtered' Two different wars unfold on Western and Arab networks Marina Jiménez National Post Tuesday, April 01, 2003 AMMAN - There are two wars in progress on Iraq. The one on Fox News bears no resemblance to the one on al-Jazeera, the Qatar-based network and the Arab world's equivalent of CNN. The Arab version of the U.S.-led assault goes something like this: The Iraqis are winning, or at least putting up stiff resistance. Coalition troops are occupiers, not liberators. The war is illegal. The United States is an arrogant power trying to grab Iraqi oil fields and change the balance of power in the Middle East in favour of Israel. Viewers tuning into CNN's broadcast of the daily briefing at U.S. Central Command headquarters in Qatar hear a sharply different account of the conflict. Brigadier-General Vincent Brooks talks about Iraqi civilians "welcoming the departure of the Saddam Hussein regime" and says Basra residents are aiding coalition soldiers fighting to secure the southern city. (Some U.S. field commanders have acknowledged difficulties with the campaign, with one telling The New York Times, "What we were really hoping was to just go through and everyone would wave flags and stuff.") Brig.-Gen. Brooks says the United States remains "on plan," with no mention of supply shortages in the field or the resistance from Iraqi troops and Baath Party irregulars. "No one is killing more civilians now than the Iraqis," he said yesterday. No one in the al-Sultan coffee shop in western Amman believes him. Patrons sit puffing on narghile, water pipes, shaking their heads at al-Jazeera's images of wailing women mourning the dead in Baghdad and injured children in hospital in Mosul. "The Western press is not broadcasting the truth about the war, about the casualties or the real intentions of the U.S.," said Muhammed Masri, an accountant who has Jordanian and U.S. citizenship. "The Arab press such as al-Arabiya [another Gulf-based Arabic network] is doing a better job showing the nasty side of the war. I'm against Saddam Hussein, but it is for the Iraqis to decide." Mr. Masri, 32, and other customers watch an al-Jazeera interview with a masked fedayeen, an Iraqi militia fighter, who boasts he killed a U.S. soldier. The announcer then repeats the motto of the network, which has 40 million subscribers and counting: Courage and Credibility. Opinion and Counter-Opinion. Mr. Masri, who grew up in New York and was in the U.S. Army for six years, believes U.S. troops have been misled by the top brass who are sticking to a scripted message the military campaign is going well. "It could have been me fighting over there," he said. "I feel sorry for both sides, the U.S. soldiers and the Iraqi civilians." In the United States it is al-Jazeera that is seen as biased, with U.S. officials complaining about the network's habit of intercutting interviews with Colin Powell, the Secretary of State, with tendentious analysis from anti-U.S. commentators, or photos of dead civilians. Al-Jazeera has also been criticized for broadcasting images of U.S. prisoners of war and dead British troops. Both the Iraqis and the coalition forces insist they have the moral high ground in the propaganda war. Jeffrey Tynes, editor of The Jordan Times, believes the Arab press's coverage of the war's human dimension -- instead of focusing on Iraqi defectors or U.S. military victories -- guarantees the United States will lose its battle for hearts and minds in this part of the world. "During the 1991 Gulf War, the footage was tightly controlled and everyone relied on CNN. But the U.S. military cannot control the Arab press," said Mr. Tynes, an American who studied in Washington. "The U.S. was so certain it would be seen as a liberating force and maybe, when all is said and done, it will be. But for now, all people see is outsiders killing Arabs." A weekend demonstration by 300 Jordanian journalists calling for freedom of the press quickly turned into an anti-war rally, with people chanting. "Bush be patient, we will dig your grave."

This war is un-American.
This war is un-American. That's an unlikely word to use, I know: it has an unhappy provenance, associated forever with the McCarthyite hunt for reds under the beds, purging anyone suspected of "un-American activities". Besides, for many outside the US, the problem with this war is not that it's un-American - but all too American. But that does an injustice to the US and its history. It assumes that the Bush administration represents all America, at all times, when in fact the opposite is true. For this administration, and this war, are not typical of the US. On the contrary, on almost every measure, they are exceptions to the American rule. The US was, after all, a country founded in a rebellion against imperialism. Born in a war against a hated colonial oppressor, in the form of George III, it still sees itself as the instinctive friend of all who struggle to kick out a foreign occupier - and the last nation on earth to play the role of outside ruler. Not for it the Greek, Roman or British path. For most of the last century, the US steered well clear of the institutions of formal empire (the Philipines was a lamentable exception). Responsibility was thrust upon it after 1945 in Germany and Japan. But as a matter of deliberate intent, America sought neither viceroys ruling over faraway lands nor a world map coloured with the stars and stripes. Influence, yes; puppets and proxies, yes. But formal imperial rule, never. Until now. George Bush has cast off the restraint which held back America's 42 previous presidents - including his father. Now he is seeking, as an unashamed objective, to get into the empire business, aiming to rule a post-Saddam Iraq directly through an American governor-general, the retired soldier Jay Garner. As the Guardian reported yesterday, Washington's plan for Baghdad consists of 23 ministries - each one to be headed by an American. This is a form of foreign rule so direct we have not seen its like since the last days of the British empire. It represents a break with everything America has long believed in. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,927860,00.html

But since the conclusion of the eight-year war between them in 1988, Tehran has desisted from advocating a regime change in Baghdad. This week that changed - and the United States had better take note. - Hooman Peimani Tehran tests the military waters Pentagon squares off against Powell, EuropeThe issue of who will be in charge of the post-Saddam Hussein occupation of Iraq pits the Pentagon against Secretary of State Colin Powell and the State Department and its allies in Europe, notably British Prime Minister Tony Blair. And like the fighting in Iraq, the battle promises to be a protracted one. - Jim LobeTHE ROVING EYEShifting sands, shifting alliancesThe shifting sands of the Middle East's deserts are being matched by shifting alliances in the Arab world, where neutrality can mean intervention (as per Iran), and where loyalties can change overnight - witness the Iraq opposition in exile. One constant remains, though. Every day, more and more Arabs are committing to fight for Iraq. - Pepe EscobarSPEAKING FREELYAn occasional column in which guest writers have their say. The myth of the 'bogged down' warMuch is being made of tactical errors, the Iraq war grinding to a halt, and US-led forces meeting "fierce resistance". It's nonsense. General Douglas MacArthur's miscalculation that the Chinese would not enter the Korean War was a tactical error. Four million soldiers dying over three years in that war was fierce fighting. Snappy soundbites and clever cliches don't necessarily reflect the reality in Iraq. - Geoffrey Sherwood West vs East, daggers drawnConflict between West and East in the Mesopotamia heartland is nearly as old as the land itself, and in these age-old battles there are lessons to be learned - for anyone who cares to take the time to study them. - K Gajendra SinghComing to terms with the 'great equalizers'As United States and British forces in Iraq face up to the harsh reality of suicide bombers, they could do worse than turn for guidance to Israel, which has had to deal with the threat for many years. But in comparison to the Israelis, the coalition troops have several key advantages.

Stephen Eagle.
The first American conscientious objector from the Iraq war will give himself up at a marine base in California this morning. He said he believed the war was "immoral because of the deception involved by our leaders". Stephen Eagle Funk, 20, a marine reserve who was due to be sent for combat duty, is currently on "unauthorised absence" from his unit. He faces a possible court martial and time in military prison for his action. "I know I have to be punished for going UA," Mr Funk told the Guardian in an interview before surrendering to authorities, "but I would rather take my punishment now than live with what I would have to do [in Iraq] for the rest of my life. I would be going in knowing that it was wrong and that would be hypocritical." Mr Funk, who is originally from Seattle and is half Filipino, was approached by a recruiting officer last year. At the time, he said, he was depressed after dropping out of a biology course at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He was working part-time for a vet and in a pet shop. His family and friends were surprised by his decision, he said, because they had known him to have liberal political views and not to have been interested in the military. "I wanted to belong and I wanted another direction in my life, and this seemed to offer it," said Mr Funk. "They told me I would be able to go back to school [university]." Recruits have their college fees paid once they complete their service. "The ads make the armed forces look so cool - 'Call this number and we'll send you a free pair of boxer shorts' - and a lot of kids don't realise what's involved," he said. Although he graduated from the famously tough marine boot camp in San Diego and excelled as a rifleman during the 12-week induction period, Mr Funk said he had started to have doubts about military service during his training. "Every day in combat training you had to yell out 'Kill! Kill!' and we would get into trouble if you didn't shout it out, so often I would just mouth it so I didn't get into trouble." The recruits were also encouraged to hurt each other during hand-to- hand combat training. "I couldn't do that so they would pair me up with someone who was very violent or aggressive." Mr Funk said many recruits were envious of those who were being sent to the Gulf. "They would say things like, 'Kill a raghead for me - I'm so jealous.'"

Kazaa for Big Bang Boson Boogie?
Big-bang project sparks cosmic response By Ian Fried Staff Writer, CNET News.com April 1, 2003, 9:00 PM PT Read more about grid computing Scientists in Switzerland are building a machine to test the big-bang theory of how the universe began. But first they have to construct a computer network that can handle the volumes of data the device will produce. The new, more powerful particle accelerator, known as the Large Hadron Collider, is being built at CERN, the same Swiss laboratory where Tim Berners-Lee developed the World Wide Web. With such a tool, scientists say that they will either be able to produce the same particles thought to have existed when the universe was formed, or they will have proved that such particles just don't exist. But before they can test their theory, the scientists will need a computer network capable of processing and storing the massive amounts of data that will begin spewing from the collider once it starts smashing particles together in 2007. As a result, researchers at CERN created Openlab, a grid computing network designed to test the type of equipment that is likely to be standard by the middle to end of this decade when the project really gets under way. In grid computing, large numbers of desktop PCs and modestly sized servers are linked across a network in a way that allows them to function as a single, virtual supercomputer. "The hope is that we, together with partners, solve whatever bugs there are," said Francois Grey, development manager for the Openlab effort. Grey notes that the particle accelerator is likely to be up and running for a decade, meaning they not only need to predict what will be the latest and greatest technology in 2007, but also which architectures will persevere throughout the life of the project. The institute's first partners were Hewlett-Packard and Intel, which are delivering Itanium 2-based systems, as well as Enterasys Networks, which is providing 10-gigabit-per-second networking gear. On Wednesday, IBM plans to announce that it is joining the effort, providing six xSeries servers, 20 terabytes of storage as well as IBM's new Storage Tank storage management software. The computing network is designed to link thousands of scientists who will use the accelerator to try to prove the existence of particles known as Higgs bosons by recreating the conditions thought to have existed shortly after the big bang occurred. Higgs refers to Peter Higgs, the physicist who first theorized the existence of such particles, while bosons refer to the class of particles named for another physicist, S.N. Bose. In any case, Grey said scientists are pretty sure the collider will produce the conditions they need to create the particles, if they exist at all. "We are talking about, over the span of the project, billions of dollars" of investment, Grey said. "You wouldn't make this investment on a hunch." A universe of data The project involves a lot of data, which should provide IBM with fertile ground in which to test Storage Tank, said Jai Menon, an IBM Research Fellow who helped develop the software. "Where they are really leading edge or bleeding edge is the size of the data the are creating," Menon said. "They are talking about maybe generating 5 petabytes (5 million gigabytes) of data a year once they are up and running." But even with its large budget, CERN can't build its computing effort from scratch. Indeed, the agency is looking to tap existing computing and storage resources to supply much of the network's capacity. That is what makes the project interesting to Big Blue, says Tom Hawk, general manager of IBM's grid computing business. CERN's need to find a cost-effective way to manage a massive computing project while using existing computing resources is the same issue that business customers face, Hawk said, adding "not that we aren't really excited about particle physics." For HP and Intel, the project is a chance to promote the Itanium server chip as the next generation of mainstream server technology. Although many large companies are still testing Itanium-based servers, HP and CERN are betting that they will be far more widespread by the time the particle accelerator is ready. "Itanium will be mainstream, almost commodity," promised Michel Benard, a Geneva-based manager for HP's university relations program. Being included in the project is something of a coup, since there are plenty of companies touting their technology as the next big thing, said Charles King, research director of market researcher The Sageza Group in Mountain View, Calif. "There certainly have been a lot of pretenders to the throne," King said. "The CERN project provides a really interesting crucible of sorts...just being involved in the project is going to be validating to a certain extent." Plus, King said, IBM and the other participants could not ask for a better testing ground. "It's one thing to do it
"...they're not paying the government the tax revenues"
Lisa M. Bowman Staff Writer, CNET News.com April 2, 2003, 3:00 AM PT The Business Software Alliance is hoping to convince international governments, trade associations and companies that cracking down on piracy pays. The group, an antipiracy organization with members including Microsoft, Adobe Systems, and Cisco Systems, is planning to release a study Wednesday suggesting that increasing copy protections could generate jobs and tax revenue. The study, commissioned by the BSA and conducted by IDC, found that in general, nations with the lowest piracy rates had the largest IT sectors, as measured as a share of the countries' gross domestic product(GDP). Conversely, countries with high piracy rates, such as China and Russia, had the smallest IT sectors. "Overall, the countries that have the poorest record of IP (intellectual property) rights have slower rates of IT growth," BSA CEO Robert Holleyman said. The BSA said that reducing software piracy could speed the growth of the IT industry, which in turn could create jobs and bolster weak economies. The study, which examined 57 countries, also predicted that a 10-point reduction in the rate of piracy over four years could generate 1.5 million jobs and $64 billion taxes worldwide, and double the IT sector in companies like Russia. The report said the resulting taxes could then be used to fund education, health care and law enforcement. "When people are using software but they're using a pirated version, they're not paying the government the tax revenues it should be receiving," Holleyman said. Piracy has been an increasing problem for the software industry, in part because the Internet makes it so easy to copy and distribute programs. As a result, the BSA has continually tried to quantify the effects of unauthorized software in an effort to drum up support from lawmakers and law enforcement. The organization estimates that 40 percent of all software programs worldwide are pirated, though the group has come under fire for overestimating the cost of piracy. http://news.com.com/2100-1028-995011.html?tag=fd_top Microsoft,Cisco and the government could go broke!

A vital wake up call for the public health establishment.
Vote Hilary in 04! So, SARS looks bad. It could be much worse. If you're terrified, please calm down. If you want to be really frightened of something, wait for the next version of the Spanish Flu (or something else of this virulence), which killed millions around the world more than 80 years ago. The public health system is not sufficiently prepared for something of that magnitude. posted by Dan Gillmor 05:15 AM permanent link to this item As ya'll are minarchists why not get National Health as long as the State as a (black) whole shrinks?

America's Other War: On Liberty The Register: Are Scott, Carly and Larry risking time at Camp X-Ray? Take the case of senior Intel Engineer Maher Mofied 'Mike' Hawash. Hawash has been arrested on undisclosed charges and detained. He has not been accused of any wrongdoing, but owes his loss of liberty - and constitutional rights - because he has detained as a "material witness" on the grounds of giving to a charity. The flippant headline masks a deadly serious issue. Our government sees no big problem in imprisoning citizens without due process, and then keeping them penned up with little or no access to legal assistance, much less their families. The case in question may actually lead to some action on behalf of freedom, because the person being held works for Intel and has some influential friends. Stephen McGeady, an Intel executive, and others have put up a Free Mike Hawash site and are contacting various authorities on his behalf. I hope another immigrant who works for Intel will take note of this situation. His name is Andy Grove. UPDATE: Meanwhile, it turns out, the feds are using thuggish tactics to extort convictions in cases with alleged terrorism connections. Today's Wall Street Journal reports on incredible pressure facing the defendants in the suburban-Buffalo case involving Yemeni Americans. Here's a quote from the story: Last week's guilty pleas came after the government threatened the defendants with "enemy combatant" status -- which meant their cases would have been pulled out of court, and the men handed over to the military for indefinite incommunicado confinement, according to prosecutors and defense lawyers. Prosecutors also threatened to bring a new indictment that would have included treason charges, which carry a potential death penalty, and weapons charges which automatically would have added 30 years to prison sentences, the lawyers said. The two defendants who pleaded guilty last week face a maximum of 10 years in prison. Several experts on criminal law said the threat of enemy-combatant status to extract a guilty plea amounts to an unfair threat, since if imposed it would leave defendants with little chance of mounting a defense. John G. Douglass, a former federal prosecutor and law professor at the University of Richmond in Virginia, said, "If the government is using that as a tool in plea bargaining, then we have in fact reached a troubling stage in our criminal-justice system." Of course, none of this could ever happen to you. Wanna bet? posted by Dan Gillmor 11:21 AM permanent link to this item

Release of material involving spy agency would affect national security and international relations.
Lawyer wants Ottawa to decide on Air India material VANCOUVER (CP) - A lawyer for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service argued at a hearing Monday that it should be up to the Federal Court to decide whether some pre-trial evidence in the Air India case should be publicized. Hans Van Iperen told a B.C. Supreme Court hearing dealing with a publication ban leading up to Canada's biggest mass murder trial that release of material involving Canada's spy agency would affect national security and international relations. Van Iperen cited Section 38 of the Canada Evidence Act in saying the matter should be referred to the Federal Court because of its sensitive nature. "The material should not be released to counsel for the media," Van Iperen said of a report by the Security Intelligence Review Committee, the civilian agency that oversees CSIS and reviewed its erasure of tapes involving the Air India case. "The jurisdiction to deal with this is the Federal Court," he said. But Dan Burnett, representing CanWest Global Communications, the CBC and Citytv, said he didn't understand how a provision by the federal attorney general, invoked to protect material involving national security, national defence and international relations, would affect the release of the report. Justice Ian Josephson sided with Van Iperen, although the issue of the erased tapes has long-ago been reported by the media. "I have no discretion but to ensure that the information is not disclosed other than within the accordance of the Act," Josephson said one month before the start of a massive trial. Ripudamin Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri are charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy in the deaths of 329 people aboard Air India Flight 182, which exploded over the Atlantic Ocean on June 23, 1985. A third accused, Inderjit Singh Reyat, pleaded guilty Feb. 10 to manslaughter and was given five years in prison on top of the 15 years he had already spent in custody. The former Vancouver Island auto electrician was convicted in 1991 of manslaughter for his part in building a second bomb that killed two baggage handlers at Tokyo's Narita airport within an hour of the Air India blast. Media lawyers have been fighting a sweeping ban on publication that was reinstated March 7. Josephson adjourned further discussion of hundreds of documents in the inventory to April 16, leaving just 12 days before the Air India trial is set to begin. The hearing has continued over several weeks as the RCMP and Crown lawyers have sought to have some material sealed, banned or kept secret. On Monday, RCMP lawyer Jeff Hayes asked for more time to review an inventory of court exhibits and other materials from months of pre-trial hearings released by the Crown. Hayes told Josephson that the Mounties want to ensure the inventory has no erroneous inclusions of material that should not be publicized through the media. The RCMP's resources are stretched so thin that there's only one person available to review the inventory, which includes hundreds of items, Hayes said. He has already asked for, and received, more time to review material that was to be included in the inventory before the court released it to media lawyers last week. Hayes has also requested, and been granted, the continuation of a publication ban on pretrial evidence so the Mounties' ongoing investigation of the case won't be prejudiced and their relationship with other international agencies probing the matter will not be affected. Burnett told the court that the RCMP's request for more time, along with the Crown's order to seal material concerning 10 protected witnesses, adds further unnecessary delays to the upcoming trial. "That puts us in a very difficult position of being unable to fully argue the application," he said. Burnett suggested he get access to material that he could reveal only to a senior editor of each organization he represents. Crown prosecutor Arlene Loyst objected, saying documents the Crown wants sealed should not be released because the material may not be kept confidential. Burnett said outside court that the issue of the publication ban has become a waiting game as the RCMP and Crown decide what documents they don't want released to the public. "It's perilously close to the trial date and has the effect of running out the clock," he said. "My concern is that once the trial date comes we don't want to be in a position of interrupting the case to deal with this but we're being forced into it bit by bit." http://www.mytelus.com/news/article.do?pageID=bc_home&articleID=1301909
Use of espionage charges against peaceful dissidents
Vietnam's use of espionage charges against peaceful dissidents clearly violates Vietnam's international human rights obligations and this practice should be strongly condemned by delegates at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights now meeting in Geneva, Human Rights Watch said today. "Vietnam has signed UN treaties protecting the right to free expression. Yet it's locking up citizens using the Internet to express their views." Brad Adams, executive director for Asia at Human Rights Watch "Vietnam has signed UN treaties protecting the right to free expression. Yet it's locking up citizens using the Internet to express their views," said Brad Adams, executive director for Asia at Human Rights Watch. "This is going on while Vietnam is participating in deliberations of the United Nations' highest human rights body. Delegates should publicly call on Vietnam to cease these arrests." Human Rights Watch condemned the arrest of noted physician Dr. Nguyen Dan Que on March 17, 2003 outside his home in Ho Chi Minh City. According to the Vietnamese foreign ministry, Dr. Que will be prosecuted under Article 80 of the Vietnamese Criminal Code for sending information critical of the Vietnamese government via the Internet. Article 80 covers crimes of espionage and carries a sentence ranging from twelve years to the death penalty. Officials claim he was arrested at an Internet café, though his family disputes this claim. Police searched his house and confiscated his laptop computer and written essays. Dr. Que, a well-known democracy and human rights advocate, was released as part of a prisoner amnesty in 1998 while serving a 20-year prison sentence. Even upon his release, he has remained under heavy surveillance and has been prohibited from resuming his medical practice as an endocrinologist. His family has had no access to him since his arrest on March 17. Last year, Human Rights Watch honored him with Hellman/Hammett grant, an award recognizing repressed writers worldwide. "Dr. Que should be immediately and unconditionally released," said Adams. "Under international law, he has committed no crime." Other dissidents in Vietnam have been detained in recent months and given harsh sentences, many of them for using the Internet to express their views. Last December, Nguyen Khac Toan was sent to prison for twelve years on charges of espionage. An appeal of his sentence is set to be heard on April 2. Pham Que Duong was arrested on December 28, 2002 and indicted under Article 80, but has not yet been put on trial. He is 71 years old and a former colonel in the People's Liberation Army who quit the Communist Party and became a democracy activist; his family is not allowed to provide him urgently needed food and medicine in prison. Last October, Li Chi Quang was arrested in an Internet café in Hanoi while sending an email message to a democracy advocate abroad. He received a four-year sentence on charges of disseminating propaganda against the state. Pham Hong Son was arrested in March 2002 and charged with espionage under Article 80. His crime was to have translated an article on democracy from the U.S. Embassy website, which he sent to some of his friends and senior Vietnamese officials. The translation was later posted on the Internet. Vietnam is currently one of 53 members of the UN Commission on Human Rights. It has ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which, under Article 19, protects the right to "seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, or through any other media of his choice." Vietnam's Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dao Viet Trung, spoke at the Commission in Geneva on March 19 and specifically referred to Hanoi's commitment to the ICCPR. "Under the Constitution, laws and policies of the State of Vietnam, human rights in all their aspects are guaranteed," he declared. "Our goal has always been to ensure the better realization of the rights and welfare of the people." Human Rights Watch urged UN delegates, in their speeches and public comments, to call for an immediate end to the wave of recent arrests. http://cgi.wn.com/?action="">recent
Charged with having "indulged in anti-state activities on behalf of a foreign organization"
LAHORE, March 31: The State has brought espionage charges against Dr Ahmad Javed Khwaja and Ahmad Naveed Khwaja, who, after the lapse of their three-month detention, have once again been detained for two months on Saturday. The State has brought new charges against the two brothers in the fresh detention order after the Supreme Court's ruling that Al Qaeda was not a declared "terrorist" organization under the 1973 Constitution or any anti-terrorism law of the country. Earlier, they were charged with having "indulged in anti-state activities on behalf of a foreign organization" and detained initially for three months. Their fresh detention order reads: "Federal government is satisfied that you have been involved in espionage activities in Pakistan on behalf of a foreign country and, thus, your activities have been prejudicial to the security of Pakistan". The detention order was released to the Khwajas' counsel on Monday by the Kot Lakhpat Jail authorities. The two Khwajas were detained on Dec 30, 2002, with three other family members for three months on allegations of harbouring Al Qaeda activists in their house in the Manawan area. However, the other three - Dr Umar Karar, Dr Khizar Ali and Muhammad Usman - were ordered to be released by the Lahore High Court on Feb 17. The new two-month detention order has been passed by the interior ministry under section 3(1)(b) of the Security of Pakistan Act, 1952 - the same section which was used for their earlier detention. The State has acknowledged in the latest detention order the detainees' right to file representation before the authorities concerned against their fresh detention. Their counsel, Pervez Inayat Malik, claimed that the nature of the charges levelled in both orders was the same and the State had used just "jugglary of words" to pass another detention order. The addition of the phrase "indulgence in espionage activities" had been used in order to avoid direct collision with the SC judgment ruling that Al Qaeda was not a declared terrorist origanization in Pakistan, he alleged. According to the counsel, the State had tried to pose in the fresh detention order that it had discovered certain new anti- state activities by the detainees in order to provide a "sham" legal cover to their further detention. "Had this been the case, the State would have produced the fresh incriminating material before the review board during the previous three-month detention," he remarked. Mr Malik said that the appeal against the new detention order would be filed after consultation with the Khawajas' senior counsel who is currently out of the country. A full bench of the SC is scheduled to take up the Khwajas' appeal on April 3, against the LHC's verdict regarding their earlier detention. http://www.dawn.com/2003/04/01/top9.htm

A nun, four policemen and... Piolenc!
MANILA (Reuters) - A bomb hidden in a food stall killed 15 people on Wednesday near a wharf in the southern Philippine city of Davao, where 22 people died in an airport blast a month ago, police and hospital officials said. The explosion outside the ferry passenger terminal sprayed the area with blood, shattered windows and blew a crater in the pavement underneath the barbecue stand. One victim was a young boy still clutching a toy. Some of the bodies were covered by sheets of newspaper. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said she had ordered the military and police to "take all appropriate measures," including checkpoints and visibility patrols, against "these lawless elements and terrorists." "In a state of lawless violence, I can empower the military to do this crackdown," she said in a radio interview. Arroyo, touring the region by boat to promote a new roll-on/roll-off ferry to speed the flow of goods around this nation of islands, planned to go to Davao on Thursday to meet investigators. Security forces in the mainly Roman Catholic country are fighting four rebel groups seeking an Islamic homeland in the south. They are also on alert for reprisals over the U.S.-led war in Iraq because of Manila's close ties with Washington. Police at the scene of Wednesday's blast said there were 13 people dead and 53 wounded. But the Davao Medical Center issued a statement saying 15 had been killed and 44 wounded. A nun, four policemen and several vendors were among the dead, police said. National Security Adviser Roilo Golez said it was too early to speculate about who was responsible. MILF MUSLIM REBELS DENY INVOLVEMENT The ferry from Manila to Davao, 900 km (560 miles) south of the capital on the restive island of Mindanao, had just docked and passengers were disembarking as the bomb exploded near the terminal building further along the wharf. Radio reports said one boy had alerted vendors after seeing the bomb before it went off but guards had largely ignored their frantic warnings. The reports could not be independently confirmed. Police quickly stepped up security at the airport and other locations in Davao. On March 4, the suspected bomber was killed along with an American missionary and 20 other people in a blast at the airport as crowds sheltered from a rainstorm. Police have arrest warrants for 151 members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the largest Muslim rebel group with about 12,000 men, in connection with last month's explosion. The MILF said on Wednesday night it was not responsible for either the airport bombing or that at the wharf. "The MILF vehemently denies any involvement," the group's spokesman, Eid Kabalu, told Reuters. "We are offering our goodwill assistance in the investigation to manifest our desire to stamp out criminalities like this." The government and the MILF are working to rekindle sporadic peace talks with the help of Malaysia and Libya, but troops and the guerrillas clash regularly on Mindanao. Philippine investigators examining the airport bombing, helped by American and Australian forensics experts, are also exploring the potential involvement of Jemaah Islamiah, a Southeast Asian group seeking a strict Muslim state. http://asia.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=2494719 Another rogue terror group known as "US special Forces" have been seen in the area,they may have 'local' assistance from ex-US Intelligence goombahs.Search on keyword 'Piolenc'.
Texan Lawman of the Year.
Texas drug sting cop found not credible by court 02.04.2003 4.27 pm DALLAS - Tom Coleman was hailed as the Texas lawman of the year for busting a drug ring in the Panhandle town of Tulia, but a court has moved to say that he cannot be taken at his word and his sting operation was a scam. Attorneys fighting to overturn the conviction of four people imprisoned by Coleman, and lawyers for the state reached an agreement today under state district Judge Ron Chapman to request that all 38 felony convictions obtained by Coleman's testimony in the drug sting be overturned by a higher court, the lawyers in the case said. There has been mounting criticism that the arrests were racially motivated. "It is stipulated by all parties and approved by the court that Tom Coleman is simply not a credible witness under oath," Chapman said in a statement in court, the lawyers said. Coleman rose to prominence in July 1999 when his sting led to the arrests of 46 people, almost all black, for involvement in an alleged drug ring in Tulia. Those arrested by the white officer made up about 10 per cent of the black population of Tulia, which has a total population of about 5000. No drugs, money or weapons were found in the sting, and the convictions were largely based on Coleman's testimony, lawyers said. Coleman was not immediately available for comment. Coleman was the lone detective on an 18-month undercover operation and court records show he submitted no audio or video surveillance material as evidence, while taking scant notes. Coleman, wearing a cowboy hat and black leather jacket, testified in the finding of fact case headed by Chapman in late March. He said in testimony he often used racial slurs in daily speech, and at times, he appeared at a loss when asked to comment on specific information that was used to obtain drug convictions, court watchers said. "The hearings were the first opportunity in open court for defence attorneys to expose the active misrepresentation that had occurred at the trials in Tulia. And to expose Tom Coleman's utter lack of credibility as to his background and the manner in which he conducted the sting," said Vanita Gupta, a lawyer with the NAACP Legal Defence Fund, one of the groups in court fighting to overturn the Tulia convictions. She said she was thrilled at the agreement reached in the case, and a lawyer for Texas said he felt the agreement was warranted given Coleman's testimony. "I'm absolutely convinced it was the right thing to do," Rod Hobson, a special prosecutor said. The tide started to turn in the Tulia drug sting when charges were dropped last year against Tonya White who allegedly sold cocaine to Coleman. Prosecutors dropped the charges when White produced bank documents showing that she was out of Texas at the time Coleman said she sold drugs to him. Since then several other people arrested in the Tulia sting had charges against them dropped or were freed from jail. Gupta said there are still 13 people in prison from the Tulia sting and civil rights groups are working to overturn their convictions. The next step is a statement of finding of fact from Chapman, to be sent to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. That court will have the final say on whether to accept the findings. If it does accept findings that Coleman was not a credible witness, the appeals court can order new trials, or overturn the previous convictions. "Based on Tom Coleman's testimony here, I would be hard pressed to understand why the state would ever want to put him on the stand again," Gupta said. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/latestnewsstory.cfm?storyID=3350386&thesection=news&thesubsection=world
War for Democracy.
In 1949, the CIA backed a military coup that deposed the elected government of Syria. In the 1950s, the CIA overthrew the freely-elected, democratic government of Guatemala and blocked free elections in Vietnam. In the 1960s, the United States undermined democracy in Brazil and in the Congo (the first scrapping of a legally recognized democratic system in post-colonial Africa). In 1963, the United States backed a coup by the Ba'ath party in Iraq-Saddam Hussein's party -and gave them names of communists to kill. In the 1970s, the CIA helped to snuff out democracy in Chile. (and AU."our man Kurr.")As Kissinger told a top-secret meeting, "I don't see why we need to standby and watch a country go Communist due to the irresponsibility of itsown people." In 1981, vice-president George Bush Sr. told Philippine dictatorFerdinand Marcos, "We love your adherence to democratic principle." Consider Indonesia, ruled by a dictator, Suharto, who killed more "of his own people" than did Saddam Hussein (with U.S. arms and, again, with lists of names of Communists to liquidate). In 1997, the year before the Indonesian people drove Suharto into exile, Paul Wolfowitz told Congress that "any balanced judgment of the situation in Indonesia today, including the very important and sensitive issue of human rights, needs to take account of the significant progress that Indonesia has already made and needs to acknowledge that much of this progress has to be credited to the strong and remarkable leadership of president Suharto." Consider the report written for Israeli prime minister Benyamin Netanyahu in 1996 by a group of U.S. neoconservatives, many of whom hold prominent positions in the current Bush war administration (Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and David Wurmser). This report recommended restoring the Hashemite monarchy to power in Iraq. There has been little acknowledgment of just how deep U.S. opposition to democracy has been.

Mongers Nuclear Reaction.
>>>What he did was replicate some experiments from the turn of the (last) century, using the Be (or Al, but Be is better) + alpha -> neutron reaction, then used the neutron flux to activate fissile and fertile materials (as well as everything around him), discovering n cross sections and moderation in the process. Chadwick to Fermi. If you get quantitative, you can see that he obtained an extraordinary amount of hot material to start with. A millicurie of Am-241 (1000 smoke detectors), and then the Ra in the paint. Maybe an oz of paint, you use maybe 1/1000 part Ra salt to 1000 parts ZnS, that's about 28 millicuries of Ra. Plus his little metallic reduction efforts concentrated things nicely. ... Marie Curie's lab notebooks are kept in lead boxes. << Shame Mongo isn't.( I was wondering why Mong was getting worked up when I remembered...he brush's his teeth with DU,it's good for you donchaknow. There does seem to be enough sources lying around to help a Kansas City style truck bomb along. There is a whole mountain of the stuff sitting out in the middle of Queensland,then there's all the hospital sources...remember that machine that was broken into down Mexico way and some was recycled into house framing? It certainly doesn't hurt this list to work on the warthland security paranoia...so fuck you May,no one's made you pope.

Get Up Stand Up...Stand Up for your Rights.
WASHINGTON--These are perilous times for online privacy, free speech and the freedom to tinker with legally purchased hardware and software. Last week, the House of Representatives approved a constitutionally dubious bill to criminalize domain names that might possibly confuse children, while the movie studios tried to expand the most worrisome parts of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) through the simple expedient of lobbying state legislators. I recently wrote about how even a short war against Iraq could depress tech stocks, and now we know the war will be neither quick nor cheap. And let's not forget Attorney General John Ashcroft's decision last week to revise the rules governing the FBI's massive database, which is choked with information about criminal suspects. Now, Ashcroft says, data no longer has to be verified as accurate and relevant before being added to it. It's always tempting for columnists to focus on bad news. This week, however, there's something very positive to write about: a conference called Computers, Freedom and Privacy that will take place in New York. CFP is organized under the auspices of the Association for Computing Machinery, the professional association for computer scientists. (Full disclosure: I'm speaking at a luncheon session on Wednesday along with Dan Gillmor of The San Jose Mercury News, Emmanuel Goldstein of 2600 Magazine, and Robert O'Harrow of The Washington Post.) First held in 1991, CFP is the longest-running gathering of people concerned with topics relating to freedom and technology, and it remains the most interesting. True, there are plenty of cookie-cutter conferences talking about privacy--there were at least two in Washington alone in the last few weeks. Yet CFP is noteworthy not only for its breadth of participants, but also for its willingness to convene actual debates. Instead of asking attendees to suffer through a torpidity-inducing PowerPoint presentation, CFP organizers do things like organizing a debate on the Pentagon's Total Information Awareness system that includes an analyst from the conservative Heritage Foundation and an attorney from the American Civil Liberties Union. The Transportation Security Administration's secretive data-mining and passenger-profiling system is another hot topic. "We're going to take on the issues of the day," said Barry Steinhardt, who is this year's CFP chairman. "We're trying to be as contemporary as possible. We've been amending the conference As I've said before, technologists should remember to do what comes naturally: Invent technology that outpaces the law and might even make new laws irrelevant. as we go along to include new people and new issues...We're trying to focus on two things: One is cyberliberties--computers, freedom and privacy--post 9/11. Second, we're trying to add an international component to this. It's quite clear that these issues are not restricted to the U.S. border." About the only problem with CFP is its near-exclusive focus on legal and political ways to fight back against snooping and surveillance. There's certainly a need for short-term action in this area: I wrote last fall about the ways geeks could mobilize to punish their foes in Congress. But in the long run, that effort is unlikely to be wildly successful. Congress will remain vulnerable to pressure from special interest groups that are better-organized and more disciplined than the technology community can hope to be. As I've said before, technologists should remember to do what comes naturally: Invent technology that outpaces the law and might even make new laws irrelevant. Worried about a newly emboldened FBI that has the power to conduct some kinds of Internet wiretaps without a judge's approval? If you run a mail server, upgrade to Postfix/TLS--or a similar protocol--which transparently encrypts e-mail messages exchanged with another computer that is also upgraded. Fretting about the Bush administration's attempts to wiretap Internet telephony, as reported by Kevin Poulsen at SecurityFocus.com? Encourage your company to shift to IPv6, which has encryption designed into the protocol specification. Don't give up on the political fight. Show up at CFP if you can. But remember that technological mechanisms that protect privacy, anonymity and free speech won't change with the whims of politicians, judges and bureaucrats. http://news.com.com/2010-1071-994654.html
Mesopotamia. Babylon. The Tigris and Euphrates.
Mesopotamia. Babylon. The Tigris and Euphrates How many children, in how many classrooms, over how many centuries, have hang-glided through the past, transported on the wings of these words? And now the bombs are falling, incinerating and humiliating that ancient civilisation by Arundhati Roy On the steel torsos of their missiles, adolescent American soldiers scrawl colourful messages in childish handwriting: For Saddam, from the Fat Boy Posse. A building goes down. A marketplace. A home. A girl who loves a boy. A child who only ever wanted to play with his older brother's marbles. On March 21, the day after American and British troops began their illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq, an "embedded" CNN correspondent interviewed an American soldier. "I wanna get in there and get my nose dirty," Private AJ said. "I wanna take revenge for 9/11." To be fair to the correspondent, even though he was "embedded" he did sort of weakly suggest that so far there was no real evidence that linked the Iraqi government to the September 11 attacks. Private AJ stuck his teenage tongue out all the way down to the end of his chin. "Yeah, well that stuff's way over my head," he said. According to a New York Times/CBS News survey, 42 per cent of the American public believes that Saddam Hussein is directly responsible for the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. And an ABC news poll says that 55 per cent of Americans believe that Saddam Hussein directly supports al-Qaida. What percentage of America's armed forces believe these fabrications is anybody's guess. It is unlikely that British and American troops fighting in Iraq are aware that their governments supported Saddam Hussein both politically and financially through his worst excesses. But why should poor AJ and his fellow soldiers be burdened with these details? It does not matter any more, does it? Hundreds of thousands of men, tanks, ships, choppers, bombs, ammunition, gas masks, high-protein food, whole aircrafts ferrying toilet paper, insect repellent, vitamins and bottled mineral water, are on the move. The phenomenal logistics of Operation Iraqi Freedom make it a universe unto itself. It doesn't need to justify its existence any more. It exists. It is.

David Gaouette,Michael Castro need killing.
DENVER (AP) - A Pakistani man indicted on charges of conspiring to harbor an alien allegedly spent time at a terrorist training camp and bragged about killing U.S. troops in Afghanistan, authorities said. Haroon Rashid also said he was awaiting orders to commit violence in the United States, according to FBI documents. ``He poses a threat to everyone in this community and this country,'' executive Assistant U.S. Attorney David Gaouette said at a detention hearing Monday. Rashid was ordered held without bail. Defense lawyer Tony Joseph said Rashid denies having anything to do with terrorism and is in this country legally. Rashid and five other people - including his wife - were arrested in Denver on March 24 and indicted two days later on charges of conspiring to harbor Imran Khan, 22. They were arrested based on a criminal complaint that was unsealed late Monday. Khan was arrested for immigration violations March 6 in Petaluma, Calif., and is being held pending deportation proceedings, according to an arrest affidavit. Rashid's wife, Saima Saima, declined to comment. She and two other suspects have been released on $10,000 bond each. Two other defendants, Irfan Kamran and Sajjad Nasser, were granted bond but remained held on appeal from prosecutors, who said the men posed a danger or a flight risk but did not elaborate. Prosecutors and an FBI spokeswoman declined to discuss details of the case Tuesday, including whether they intend to pursue terrorism-related charges against Rashid. FBI documents allege Rashid attended a terrorist training camp in Pakistan shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks. They also alleged that he fought for the Taliban and al-Qaida in Afghanistan. Joseph said Rashid, 32, of Lakewood, had returned to Pakistan only to help manage property his family owns. ``There is nothing to show he is the alleged terrorist the government is trying to paint him as being,'' Joseph said. FBI agent Michael Castro told U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Watanabe that Rashid claimed to have fought U.S. forces in pursuit of a ``jihad'' or ``holy war.'' A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office, Jeff Dorschner, would not say how authorities received information about Rashid's alleged bragging. Rashid and the five other defendants lied about the relationship between Khan and the people who claimed to be his parents, according to the arrest affidavit. The affidavit said Abdul Qayyum and his wife, Chris Marie Warren, had claimed Khan, Qayyum's nephew, was actually his son. Kamran, Qayyum's son, knew about the false claim, as did Rashid, Saima and Nasser, the affidavit said. The charge of harboring an alien carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uslatest/story/0,1282,-2526604,00.html
Allied forces terrorism is a new threat to the World.
Allied forces terrorism is a new threat 31 March, 2003 KOTA TINGGI: The terrorism perpetrated by the allied forces on the people of Iraq poses a new threat to the world, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said Sunday. He said the suicide attacks now taking place would be continued not only in Iraq but also in other places once people become angry and develop a hatred over the cruelty inflicted by the big powers. This action (suicide attack) is taking place because people are fed up with the terrorism and injustice of the allied forces. The world has to face up to terrorism of this nature, he told reporters when asked to comment on the suicide attack on allied forces in Iraq Saturday in which four United States soldiers were killed. Syed Hamid, who was met at a meet-the-people session at Kampung Teluk Ramunia near here, said it would become even more dangerous when anger against the arrogance of the allied forces led by the United States touched the hearts of ordinary people. We see the protests and hatred being displayed not only by people saddened by the human tragedy but also by those who in the first place never had any sympathy for Saddam Hussein, he said. Speaking at the meet-the-people session, Syed Hamid reminded Malaysians to learn from the US-led invasion of Iraq and strengthen their own unity. Only with a strong bond of unity among them can Malaysians prevent themselves from being colonised by the big powers, he said.-Bernama http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=17928

Kentucky Fried Cruelty.
Kentucky Fried Cruelty Australian Anti KFC Campaign 26/3/03 Wednesday 26th March was National Anti-KFC Campaign. Animal Rights groups across Australia targeted KFC outlets with leaflets and posters informing KFC customers of the cruelty involved in growing hens for the Colonels Secret Recipe. (See picture1) To follow People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) international campaign against KFC and their parent company Yum. Animal Activism QLD has just completed an investigation of Woodlands Poultry Pty Ltd, Beerwah broiler sheds. It is not known if Woodlands supply KFC but the conditions of broiler farms appear similar in their disregard for animal welfare. Due to the short life span of hens bread for meat (6 weeks) hens are regularly de-populated and replaced with new hens. The investigation took place after a depopulation and therefore hens had not began to develop the ailments common to hens grown under the barbaric conditions of broiler farms. Dead hens were noted in the hatchling shed. (See picture 2) Animal Liberation Victoria succeeded in rescuing 20 broiler chickens on January 28 after a series of undercover investigations at Fowl Folly broiler chicken factory in Parwan, Victoria. (See Picture 3). The rescue team had been at this same property five years ago and made complaints, yet nothing was done and now the farm has doubled in size to four sheds each holding 40,000 birds. FOWL FOLLY is contracted out to BAIADA POULTRY, who supply KFC amongst others. PETA has requested improvements of KFC, yet after two years of opportunities, KFC still refuses to act. Despite its claims, KFC continues to support the worst abuses of chickens, and Yum! as a whole continues to support the worst abuses of other farmed animals. Effective public relations may ease the consciences of Yum! executives, but these animals continue to be treated in ways that would warrant prison terms for these same executives, if dogs and cats, rather than pigs and chickens, were treated so badly. PETA asks that KFC commit to it has claimed to doenact a comprehensive animal welfare plan that will protect animals from abuse and neglect. KFC could end PETAs campaign tomorrow by, quite simply, agreeing to implement comprehensive farmed-animal welfare standards, including replacing the present painful and traumatic slaughter methods with gas killing, mandating automated chicken catching using well-designed, gentle machines, breeding birds for less aggression and healthier weights, and enriching the birds barren living environments. Furthermore, cruelty to animals can be subtler than overtly violent abuse. Denying animals the opportunity to act according to their natures can be even more cruel than harming them physically, and KFC denies chickens almost every natural desire and needfrom foraging to dust bathing to forming reasonable social hierarchies (pecking orders). (Bruce G. Friedrich, Director of Vegan Outreach). PETA challenge Yum! to name one procedure or guideline that it has implemented for the humane treatment of animals on farms or during transport. Animals spend the majority of their lives on farms, yet Yum! has not done a single thing to address the treatment of animals in that area. Yum!s supposed guidelines address only the slaughterhouse, and even there they are woefully inadequate. The birds are dumped from crates, often breaking limbs, and their injured legs are snapped painfully into metal shackles. Animal welfare experts are in agreement that chickens are often conscious throughout the slaughter process, resulting in the tremendous suffering of millions from being shocked by machinery, having their throats cut, and being scalded alive. Yet Yum!s guidelines protect birds from none of these abuses, and Yum! refuses to adopt the gas killing of birds, which would eliminate them all. (Bruce G. Friedrich, Director of Vegan Outreach). More than half of all chickens killed for KFC are consumed outside of the United States, yet KFC has not said a single thing about applying any animal welfare standards outside the U.S., despite the implication that its standards apply to all suppliers. Yum! also claims that its suppliers are being audited, but PETA ask whether a single audit has ever resulted in disciplinary action. If not, might the reason be that Yum!s standards are, in fact, simply the same abusive status quo that has been in existence for years? (Bruce G. Friedrich, Director of Vegan Outreach).

Toward a Cypherpunk Resistance.
On a future Earth (72 years from now) where technology is outlawed, food and fuel are precious commodities, and the only law is Martial Law. You assume the role of Flynn, a very cynical twenty-five year-old who's nothing more than a streetwise cypherpunk with a criminal history and a penchant for rebellion. Aside from his implied honorable intentions of exposing an evil global conspiracy, he is the classical anti-hero, which makes for some new and unique scenarios to propel the action. From the first moments you are thrust into the dark and compelling plot with an NPC guide and guns blazing. Aside from surviving the baddies, you've got a lot of additional challenges to overcome. You will be given task lists made up of multiple unlocking objectives and sub-objectives via pre-cog mission briefings, in-list action cutscenes, and HUD-based checklists. Your main goals are simple: survival, and conquest, but as the story progresses you are given more and more clues as to the nature of your upcoming missions. As you progress through Devastation's world, you will have more and more objectives to complete and challenges to overcome, as the list dynamic quickly adapts allowing for incredible variation from the standard shooter fare.

"I aint gonna blog no war no more."
I'm not going to blog the war any more. Linux Journal editor Doc Searls, in an item headlined, "Peace On," justaposes an excerpt of my statement with with words from public radio host Christopher Lydon, I throw out the perhaps insanely cheerful thought that this could be the war to end war. Meaning ... that the sole superpower has met its adversary for the future in the stubborn, unintimidated, and close to universal peace movement that has found its medium on the Web. Doc then adds, "I tend to agree with both of them" and adds his own sane thoughts. Shelley Powers blogs as Burningbird, one of my favorite thoughtful reads, although her writing usually isn't easy to fit into this news blog's pointers. This time, in "Long Haul," she responds to my dropout declaration sensibly, and furthers it: I can understand where Sheila's coming from, except that none of us can drop out of the war. Especially the Iraqis. Especially the soldiers. But Sheila isn't talking about dropping out of the war -- she's talking about not feeding the frenzy of pro- and anti-war rhetoric. How does it support the troops to accuse others of being traitors, to make fun of people who disagree, to feed a constant anger? What's peaceful about a peace movement populated by people screaming "I hate you!" and throwing rocks? Tellingly, in a later post today titled "Peaceblog no more," Shelley writes, I have removed the Peaceblog logo from the sidebar. I'm not sure at this point exactly what a peaceblog is. After three difficult days of thinking, I'm not sure what 'peace' is. Good stuff. Fellow journalists Dan Gillmor and J.D. Lasica also point to my dust, for which I am grateful. Finally, thanks to reader Carol Williams for the email whose subject is simply, "Good for you."

From the Guardian (UK): When Azzam Alwash was a boy he went duck-hunting with his father on the Mesopotamian marshes. They took an old wooden boat and rowed south from his home in Nasiriyah into one of the largest wetlands in the world the land of the Marsh Arabs, which some believe is the origin of the story of the Garden of Eden. This week, watching TV images of the battle for Nasiriyah from his new home in California, Alwash wonders at the different landscape. "I look at the pictures of the bridges over the Euphrates. All the land behind used to be endless bullrushes and reedbeds stretching for hundreds of miles. But now there is nothing green. It is totally gone," he says. The difference is Saddam Hussein. After the 1991 Gulf War he drained most of the marshes and diverted the Tigris and Euphrates, the two great rivers that once watered them. It was an epic work of destructive civil engineering that turned the ecological jewel of the Middle East into a scrub desert and drove out most of the 50,000 Madan, or Marsh Arabs, who had joined the abortive post-war uprising against him in 1992. Alwash, who is, like his father, a civil engineer, would probably have had to work on the draining if he hadn't left for the US in the late 1970s. But now he has plans to bring back the landscape of his childhood.

April 1, 2003 I'm dropping out of the war: Last night, I took a longer look at the "Peaceblogroll" that got added to the Best sources portal yesterday. Some of these blogs turn out not to be "peace blogs" at all -- they're part of the pissing match. War plus anti-war does not equal peace. Pro-war and anti-war blogs are two sides of the same coin. War and anti-war fight each other with hearts and minds and furious typing. On the streets, anger fuels protest, and is met with anger.

Dear sir, I am DR. OKOH PRTERS a director in the Federal Ministry of Budget of federal republic of Nigeria. Four (4) months ago, I led a 3 man audit panel to balance the books of the apex bank (central bank of Nigeria). In the course of our duties, we discovered that the sum of $48.6 million (forty eight million, six hundred thousand USA dollars) has been lying in a suspense account with the apex bank since 1998 without beneficiary(ies) our further investigation reveals that this sum accumulated as a result of over-invoiced executed contracts influenced by past retired military government personnel and was unclaimed due to transformation of new democratic government. After careful deliberations, we (my colleagues and I) unanimously agreed to transfer this sum of $48.6 million into a foreign account for investment purposes, hence we are seeking your assistance and co-operation to achieve this objective. We have put all modalities in place to apply for the claim of this fund with your name or your company's as contract payment having completed a contract we purportedly awarded to you. However, we have successfully transferred this fund through diplomatic seal to our off- shore payment bureau in overseas on the grounds that it was meant for the payment of a foreign contractor. We therefore, solicit that you stand as the owner and proceed claim/collection of the entire fund on our behalf from the off-shore payment office. Note that we will arrange all the papers needed and the approval for the release of this fund with documented evidence of the contract executed to enable swift collection of this said fund by you without any hitch. Therefore, there is no risk whatsoever either now or in future. You would be assisted physically by a protocol officer during your collection ceremony and you will be guided to open an account were the money would be lodged after collection then you can re-transfer to your preferred designated account but were huge tax shall not be levied. You will get 25% of the entire sum,70% for us,while 5% is set aside for reimbursement of expenses we may incur in actualising this transaction. It is important to state that all parties would be protected by a silent but strong agreement which greatest tenet would be strictly confidential as we are civil servants still in active service. If you are interested, contact me first through my bellow email address by sending your phone, fax and mobile numbers for verbal discussion. Seven (7) working days is enough to conclude this transaction. I look forward to your prompt reply. Best regard DR. OKOH PRTERS
Call for Arab Unity.
Saudi billionaire urges Arabs to stick by Wall St By Nic Hopkins THE worlds richest Arab, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, yesterday condemned anti-American sentiments arising from the war against Iraq. Prince Alwaleed, of Saudi Arabia, whose 5.1 per cent stake in Citigroup makes him the US banking groups largest shareholder, urged Arab investors to retain their investments in US businesses rather than sell them for political reasons. He told The Times: I understand there is a lot of negative sentiment but the position of the US is that they are not against the Iraqi people, they are against Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction. So I believe its misplaced negative sentiment. The prince observed: Investors should try to separate business and economics from politics. This may sound like I am a bird flying without its flock but this is what I believe. He said he had no plans to reduce any of his US investments, which include stakes in AOL Time Warner, Priceline, and The News Corporation, parent company of The Times.The prince said that he would also maintain his British holdings, which include ownership of the Four Seasons Hotel in London and his 6 per cent stake in Canary Wharf Group. Last year the prince, the worlds sixth richest man with a fortune of $20 billion (£12.7 billion), issued a warning that some Saudi investors would be panicked into withdrawing their assets from the US because of what he described as negative depictions of Arabs in Western media, especially after the September 11, 2001, terrorist atrocities. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,5-631577,00.html

Who's flying the plane?
HIJACKING NATIONAL SECURITY: THE WAR PARTY Who's flying the plane? --- The probable terrifying final thoughts of many September 11, 2001 victims. Today, many are asking the same thing about the Bush Administration's subsequent foreign policy. Despite failing to secure Osama bin-Laden's fate, the Administration now careens in search of ever-expanding Executive Branch-initiated war against an "axis of evil." First stop, Iraq. Of course, there may be a case for war against Iraq. The benefit potential for Iraq alone of ending the rule of Saddam Hussein is obvious. But for those steering the policy, Iraq is only the beginning. And the actual Iraq-specific case for war appears to be of secondary importance to them at best. Now, who's flying that plane? President Bush remains the ultimate party responsible, but it is no secret that a factional War Party has won the ears, hearts, and minds of the President, Vice-President, National Security Adviser and Secretary of Defense. As Scott Ritter, the Republican ex-Marine who hounded Saddam's secret weapons group for several years, has warned: "The national security of the United States of America has been hijacked by a handful of neo-conservatives who are using their position of authority to pursue their own ideologically-driven political ambitions." Ritter's warning may be understated. The neoconservatives, or "neocons," are some of the most dangerous menaces to America's destiny to come along. Moreover, they are a grave danger to the peace, progress, and security of much of humanity. And their true agenda has features of something that few, if any, have called by a designation that is as alarming as it is accurate: a cult. Neoconservatism is not merely an ideology, but a cult of war and domination that makes conventional and even ideological "hawks" and "interventionists" look like doves and isolationists. Many of their fellow conservatives fear their aims. For if successful, the neocons' efforts will provoke far more terrorism, leave enormous numbers of Americans and foreigners dying uselessly in endless far-flung wars, trip-up the world's already struggling economy, and midwife a Constitution-shelving national security state. Outlines of this are seen in a open-ended conflict, military activism which has eschewed Congressional debate and oversight, spikes in oil prices, domestic spying proposals, secret tribunals, citizen detentions without trial, and surging ethnic and religious hatred. So, what is it that makes these neocons tick? What lies at their core? There's a single, easy-to-find, and utterly frightening answer to that. THE BIZARRE CORE OF NEOCONSERVATISM The single thread can be found, explicit and implicit, in neocon writings and sentiments. These are worth a read, if only to see that the fate of the world may be in the hands of people who are not only dangerous, but actually use the word "hegemon" in conversation. In an essay in Foreign Affairs in 1996 ("Toward a Neo-Reaganite Foreign Policy" July-August 1996), neocon gurus William Kristol and Robert Kagan described their desired goal. They are seekers of a "global hegemon [ruler]." (Elsewhere neocon writer Charles Krauthammer has called for embracing a "unipolar world".) This world-encompassing hegemon would possess a moral "exceptionalism", i.e. distinct essential moral superiority. It would establish "moral clarity and purpose". It would go forth (hegemonically, we must presume) and find "monsters to destroy". Once empowered, this world-ruler would exercise "benevolent ...hegemony." Nevertheless those otherwise good people who don't actively aid the world-saving hegemon's monster-slaying are guilty of "cowardice and dishonor". Hang on, it gets weirder. "The end of history" is how neocon author Francis Fukuyama in his book of the same title has called the period after the collapse of the hegemon's main enemy. William Kristol's father Irving has revealed in his autobiography ("Memoirs of a Trotskyist") that the neocons in their original incarnation saw themselves as the "`happy few' who had been chosen by History to guide our fellow creatures toward a secular redemption." To find the common thread, we need only connect the dots: A "benevolent global hegemon" of essentially superior moral character? Who destroys monsters to create a "unipolar world," and imposes "moral clarity" and "purpose"? Who ushers in "the end of history"? Whose acolytes are a vanguard in the militant salvific redemption of the world? What to call such a being? One word comes to mind . . . a Messiah. And a pretty darn utopian and apocalyptic one at that. That is no exaggerated extrapolation of their vision. And so it is no exaggeration to employ the term "cult." (Recently, writer Thomas Bray in the online Wall Street Journal referred to the Administrationís goals for Iraq as "messianic".) The next question: who or what is the neocon's Messiah? Lyndon LaRouche? Leon Trotsky? No. Despite some neocons' earlier affi

Bank Security Checks.
Net scams target banks By Tanya Moore 03apr03 SCAM artists have begun targeting Internet banking systems for the first time in Australia. Federal police have received several complaints from banks about Internet fraud in recent months. An Australian Federal Police spokesman would not say how many complaints had been received but confirmed it was the first time the organisation had investigated Internet banking scams. Some Commonwealth Bank customers were conned into sending passwords and membership numbers to an e-mail address after they received an e-mail from commonwealthbank.com, which had a genuine-looking NetBank logo. The e-mail said: "Our new security system will help you to frequently avoid fraud transactions and to keep your investments in safety." Fraudsters also attempted to replicate Internet sites for Westpac Bank and AMP. Australian Consumers' Association spokeswoman Catherine Wolthuizen said the e-mail sent to Commonwealth Bank customers was particularly worrying. "It went out looking like an official e-mail," she said. Internet consumers faced unique risks because they were offered quick access to information from around the world. "But it also offers these advantages to scam artists," Ms Wolthuizen said. Australian Bankers' Association chief executive officer David Bell said the association had tried to keep a step ahead of fraudsters. "Fraud is a problem. It is a problem that is right across the board," Mr Bell said. "It's certainly something that worries us. "Anybody who has their business on the Net is particularly vulnerable." He said the Commonwealth Bank e-mail scam vindicated the association's decision to form a fraud taskforce comprising police, banking and finance industry representatives. About 5 per cent of bank transactions are conducted on the Internet and 90 per cent of consumers bank electronically. Mr Bell said bank customers who revealed a PIN number or password to others could be held accountable if it led to financial losses. "If a customer attributes this to a fraud you may not be able to get your money back," he said. Commonwealth Bank customers duped by the e-mail scheme did get their money back. A bank spokesman said scam investigators had arrested a Russian man. The 25-year-old will appear in a Sydney court this month charged with obtaining money by deception. The spokesman said the NetBank site, which is used by about one million customers, had not been compromised. Ms Wolthuizen warned consumers to be alert if they received e-mail messages claiming to be from a bank. "Whenever they get this sort of communication (they need) to be very sceptical and to contact their bank if they have any doubt," she said. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,6229155%255E421,00 .html
Clusterfuck.
Hawke, Murdoch warn of increased terrorist threat April 3 2003, 3:58 PM Hawke calls on Howard to withdraw troops Former prime minister Bob Hawke today called on the Howard government to withdraw Australian troops from Iraq. "Surely by now the government can see they've made a fundamental mistake," Mr Hawke told a Sydney book launch. Mr Hawke, who committed Australian troops to the UN-backed Gulf War in 1991, said the alternative was to place more and more Australians at risk both abroad and at home. Murdoch says war could increase terrorism A prolonged war with Iraq could bring terrorism to the US and Britain, as well as greater instability to the Middle East, according to media mogul Rupert Murdoch. "It's very possible to see freelance suicide attempts both here and in London, and that would psychologically shake this country up," Murdoch said today at a conference in California. The best thing to do to avoid that, said the head of News Corp, is to end the war quickly. Amnesty blasts use of cluster bombs in Iraq A leading human rights organisation today said the use of cluster bombs by US-led forces in Iraq will indiscriminately kill civilians. And Amnesty says the use of cluster bombs on a civilian area is a grave violation of international humanitarian law. When the individual bombs from a cluster fail to explode on impact, they remain active on the ground like landmines. Yesterday, an AFP correspondent said what appeared to be US-dropped cluster bombs killed 33 civilians - including children - in the town of al-Hilla, in central Iraq. Around 300 people were injured. http://smh.com.au/articles/2003/04/03/1048962833493.html
Hicks,Habib and Geneva Conventions.
Hicks, Habib to stay until war's end 02apr03 TWO Australian men inside Camp X-Ray accused of terrorist links would be detained there until fighting in Afghanistan was over, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said. Adelaide man David Hicks and Sydney man Mamdouh Habib are being held without charge at the US Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on suspicion of having links to al-Qaeda. Mr Downer said he had not raised their cases during talks with President George W Bush and other White House officials in Washington. "The situation hasn't changed in relation to them," Mr Downer told ABC TV. "These are people who were detained as combatants in Afghanistan and they will be detained until the fighting in Afghanistan is finished."That's gradually drawing to a close but there's still some Taliban units on the loose in Afghanistan and being chased, so those people are being detained." http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,6229612%255E421,00 .html
For Laura,Barbie and Jenna.
It was extremely popular to see women broken by the wheel (www.cecut.org.mx/galeria/tortura/wheel.htm). Breaking by the wheel happened as follows: the naked victim would be stretched out supine with crosspieces under her elbows, ankles, knees, and hips; the executioner would then smash every limb and joint with the iron-tyred wheel, but avoiding fatal blows (www.cecut.org.mx/galeria/tortura/wheel.htm.) The victim was described by a seventeenth-century German chronicler as being transformed "into a sort of huge screaming puppet writhing in rivulets of blood, a puppet with four tentacles, like a sea monster, of raw, slimy and shapeless flesh mixed up with splinters of smashed bones" (as quoted at www.cecut.org.mx/galeria/tortura/wheel.htm).
Dukes of Hazzard.
ASIO raids led some to flee By Darren Goodsir April 3 2003 A top policeman has revealed that counter-terrorism authorities have been "interfering" with the activities of "a handful" of people to stem the growth of terrorist networks. The head of the NSW Counter-Terrorism Co-ordination Command, Chief Superintendent Norm Hazzard, yesterday told a meeting of security chiefs that last year's police raids with the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation had been productive and more were likely in future. Although only one man, Jack Roche, had been arrested and charged after the well-publicised ASIO raids, the operations had been fantastic intelligence gathering exercises - and several people of interest had either fled the nation or been expelled on immigration offences. "A number of people have thought that this is not a very good place to live in and have elected to leave the country by their own accord," Mr Hazzard said. "There are [also] a number of people, who have been taken to the airport and shown the door, because they did not have the proper documentation to remain in this country." Stressing that police had vastly different functions to ASIO - and needed more information before obtaining search warrants - Mr Hazzard said the recent creation of joint strike teams with federal police would soon bring greater activity. "We are going to identify those people we believe are a threat to this country - and we will mount investigations into them," he said. "We are doing what we believe is in the long-term interests of national security." Mr Hazzard's comments to security chiefs responsible for government departments, critical infrastructure, airlines and banks come just days after the former ASIO manager and Olympic security intelligence chief, Neil Fergus, said the agency had identified seven "dangerous" people in Sydney who had been warned they were being targeted. Mr Hazzard's speech on NSW's upgraded counter-terrorism capabilities noted he had developed a database enabling daily analysis of "every piece" intelligence documented by field officers. This had added rigour to investigations. "A lot of it is chasing rabbits down holes," he said, but such diligence was required for early detection. On the orders of the Police Commissioner, Ken Moroney, Mr Hazzard had reviewed the state's terrorist capabilities. Last year he recommended creating a dedicated command - with distinct desks headed by an officer of inspector rank or above. The command's divisions are: tactical intelligence, analysis, investigations, counter-terrorism response, critical infrastructure protection, consequence management, dignitary protection and public order management. The review also suggested buying equipment worth more than $17million, mainly in enhanced bomb disposal technology, which was approved last year. Mr Hazzard said the Premier, Bob Carr - who set up a terrorism sub-committee of cabinet - had taken a "hands-on" interest in his command. http://smh.com.au/articles/2003/04/02/1048962815475.html

Hope for a rapid American "victory."
IF THIS BE TREASON then let the War Party make the most of it! Peter Arnett is 'guilty' of real reporting, not sedition While the battlefield success of the "coalition" forces may be the subject of a vigorous debate, none can dispute their conquest of the American media. They took out NBC this week, although Iraqi television flickers back after each bombing raid. We can't be sure that Saddam Hussein was killed or seriously injured in that first missile strike, but Peter Arnett, we know for certain, is a goner. The ritual slaying of a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter on the altar of wartime political correctness is meant as a warning to "mainstream" journalists: this could be you. Either "embed" yourself in the American propaganda machine, or choose exile. No one disputes the veracity of what Arnett actually said. It is true, as the veteran war correspondent put it, that "Clearly, the American war planners misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces." American military officers in the field are saying the same thing even as I write but try firing them! And who can dispute the following?: "My Iraqi friends tell me there is a growing sense of nationalism and resistance to what the United States and Britain are doing." We don't need Arnett or the Iraqis to tell us that resistance to the invasion is motivated by nationalism. Invasions invariably provoke resistance, even in the most decadent of nations. But here is what really stuck in the collective craw of the War Party, and demanded nay, cried out! for punishment: "It is clear that within the United States there is growing challenge to President Bush about the conduct of the war and also opposition to the war. So our reports about civilian casualties here, about the resistance of the Iraqi forces, are going back to the United States. It helps those who oppose the war when you challenge the policy to develop their arguments." When a reporter, in the course of developing a story, instead becomes the story, some grand journalistic ethic is said to have been breached. But who made Arnett the story? NBC claims to have been inundated by 8,000 emails in response to Arnett's broadcast a paltry number, given that it would be no mean feat of technology for a single person to generate that many within hours. Arnett, intones Walter Cronkite, " hangs by a rope of his own weaving," and various and sundry professors have been trotted out particularly on NBC to verify that he "crossed the line" between advocate and journalist. This, from a television network that has U.S. government propaganda designed into its logo! Beneath each and every talking head or battle scene, in NBC's continuous war coverage, the words "Operation Iraqi Freedom" are vividly emblazoned as if "freedom" had anything to do with the American imperial project. A loud brouhaha was raised over the military attire of Arnett's interlocutor even as our own airwaves are filled with strutting generals in full uniform, aiming their pointers at battlefield maps, like rapiers stabbing at the heart of Iraq. Is it just me, or is the fiction that we are supposed to be bringing "democracy" and freedom to the benighted peoples of the Middle East somewhat undermined by the ideological cleansing of the American media? The uniformly propagandistic tone of American television coverage resembles a Soviet propaganda film, circa 1936. Fox News, with its all-braying-all-the-time format, was the precursor of this Sovietizing trend, and now MSNBC is taking on the same Leninist style. The race is on between Aaron Brown of CNN and Dan Abrams of MSNBC to see who can parrot the party line most faithfully: the winner so far is Brown, for his David Horowitz-like interrogation of Dan Ellsberg. But Abrams is doing his best to keep up: the other day, he answered the query of a journalism professor as to the provenance of the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" logo wasn't that "crossing the line," too? Oh no, opined Abrams, because, you see, "that is the actual name of this operation"! Jack Shafer, media critic at Slate.com, thinks Arnett should have been fired but not because of anything he said about the failure of the U.S. war plan, or unexpected Iraqi resistance: "It was nothing Democratic foes of the war haven't been saying for a week and some Republicans are sharing anonymously today with the Washington Post." Arrnett's real crime, according to Shafer, is speaking at all to the Iraqis, in an Iraqi venue: "That Arnett took his star turn on Iraqi state television and spoke seriously to a uniformed member of the Iraqi military indicates that he possesses the credulousness of a child, not the judgment of a seasoned reporter." At least the Iraqi interviewer had the honesty to wear a military uniform: some of our own "journalists" might as well be wearing U.S. military uniforms, for all the objectivity they bring to the unfolding story of this war

Re: Trials for those undermining the war effort?
Harmon, your knowledge of the history of the Roman Empire & early Christianity is flakier than Choate's physics. Go home and read some history books instead of New Age loonies with a persecution complex. No point in refuting the heap of ignorance appended below because there isn't enough meaningful in it to require an answer - but if it makes you feel superior to fantasise that using a modern-style transliteration of an Aramaic name as "Yeshua" instead of the Latin-style "Jesus" makes you some sort of elite soul, go right ahead. The Greek spelling of the name is Iesous anyway. And the origin is the same Hebrew name that also comes to us as Joshua and Hosea. That sort of thing happens when you move between alphabets.

PRIVATE
Good Day, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising for you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity. My name is Peter Steven the son of Kumalia Steven, a farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, I decided to contact you through email as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father forsaw the danger that is coming to Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars to Johannesburg, South Africa to deposit the sum of US$8.5 million (Eight million, Five Hundred thousand US dollars), in a private security company. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Botswana. President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in The Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg to Amsterdam. Since the law of The Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction ,this is why I am seeking your help as a reliable partner, If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transfered from Johannesburg, South Africa to their branch here. The company will be legally informed of you representing me. Please, I want you to maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation, I will like if you reply with my email address which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, P .Steven.

Major Breaking News! (WGFL) Makes Major Deal With United Kingdom
NEWS ALERT World Golf League (OTCBB: WGFL) Near Term Target Price: $0.31 Shares Outstanding 200 Million Approx. Float 30 Million Near Term Price Proj. $0.31 A Few Reasons to Own WGFL: WGFL just went public via reverse merger, potential opportunity to get in the beginning. WGFL satisfies a need for the average amateur golfer to compete in a PGA style fantasy tournament with the excitement of substantial prize money in "play for pay". WGFL revenues are estimated at $11.2 Million in 2003 and $34 Million in 2004. WGFL will be capitalizing on the world's fastest growing sport with over 26.5 million golfers in the US and 55.8 million worldwide. WGFL markets its concept directly and through marketing licensees to a total of 57 in the United States markets and 27 international venues. WGFL concept has received tremendous national publicity including the Golf Channel, Sports Illustrated and several major market news publications. WGFL has attracted many players that have included NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor, Rickey Jackson, NHL Hall of Famer Phil Esposito and a host of pro golfers including Fulton Allem. WGFL license agreements offer an extremely attractive opportunity to licensee who will share in various levels of returns. UPDATE Great News! Now we can say with certainty that is WGFL is truly a WorldWide Company. WGFLs plan for growth is to license territorys in the U.S.A and around the World, which includes a one-time fee upfront plus ongoing royalties for the life of the agreement. The job of the licensee is to organize tournaments and to market the WGFL to attract new members who pay an annual fee of $105 Dollars. The benefits to the member are enormous and valued by WGFL to be worth about $3000 Dollars which include Travel, Hotels discounts at Golf Courses and preferred starting tee times just to mention a few. What is intriguing to us is the quote by the CEO in this PR I believe we will be able to achieve our 5 year marketing plan which calls for a 2% worldwide market penetration or 1.1 million members. By higher mathematics after calculating these NEW PROJECTIONS, we arrive at a top line figure for JUST ANNUAL MEMBERS in excess of $105 Million Dollars in new revenues over the next five years. In our opinion, we believe that the key to SUCCESS FOR WGFL IS TO CONTINUE MAKING THESE LICENSING DEALS WORLDWIDE. On the surface this new PR appears to us to be a Great Deal for WGFL, it puts WGFL in a Great New Market with a lot of players who love the game. Keep a real close eye on this New Baby, and always Watch This Stock Trade. PRESS RELEASE The World Golf League announces signing of United Kingdom Licensee. ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The World Golf League, Inc.(OTC Bulletin Board:WGFL) announced today that Peter Blay, a seasoned sports marketing executive, has joined the WGL team as the primary United Kingdom Licensee. The World Golf League markets a professional golf concept, directly and through licensees in the USA and 27 international venues, which allows average golfers to play for substantial prize money in local and regional tournaments culminating with a PGA-style national event. Peter will head the WGLs United Kingdom operations and will be responsible for all aspects of marketing the concept. The license agreement is valued at $325,000 in one time license fees and $8.8 million in royalties over a five-year period. The one time licensing fee was based upon a percentage of the expected revenue stream to the licensee over a five year period. The royalty revenue stream is based on a 50% ownership of the territory by the WGL and an average of _% market penetration over five years. The WGLs overall 5 year marketing plan calls for a 2% worldwide market penetration or 1.1 million members. The UK alone represents 3.7 million golfers, the largest golf market in Europe. Mike Pagnano, CEO of the WGL, commented, We are delighted to have Peter join our team and spearhead our entrance into the European market. His experience in sports marketing will bring great exposure to our play for pay concept. The WGL plans further expansion in Europe, with licensees in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Ireland, France and Italy. This marks a significant stepping-stone for our Company, as Europe represents 11% of the worlds golf population with over 6.2 million golfers. I believe we will be able to achieve our 5 year marketing plan which calls for a 2% worldwide market penetration or 1.1 million members.

Re: U.S. Drops 'E-Bomb' On Iraqi TV
Damian Gerow wrote: I can only see two reasons for bombing with nuclear weapons: hate and stupidity. That being said, you'd have to *really* hate someone (or an entire country) to actually /use/ a nuclear weapon. That's nonsense. I can think of several entirely ethical uses of nuclear weapons, with the usage not motivated by hate but simple utility: 1. You have a large invading fleet approaching your nation. A few nukes out in the middle of the ocean could handily take out the fleet without getting any innocent bystanders. (This scenario occurs in one of Poul Anderson's novels.) 2. You have a large invading army crossing an uninhabited wasteland. Again, tactical nukes would be useful and ethical here. Use airbursts, though, to avoid producing a lot of fallout. 3. Power generation. One scheme I once read about for a fusion reactor involved digging a deep cavern, exploding a nuke within it every once in a while, and having the resulting heat drive your electrical generators. 4. Interplanetary transportation of a massive payload. Project Orion, anyone?
Did you ask me how I saved on my mortgage?
Title: Rates are Rising Dear Friend: Like you, I get dozens of ads in my mailbox for low mortgage rates and refinancing options. So, I wanted to find out if I could cut my monthly payments because I know rates are at an all time low. That's when I discovered the painless process of applying through E-LOAN. Here's what I found: No lender fees: Unlike other lenders or mortgage brokers, E-LOAN does not charge commitment fees, origination fees, underwriting fees, etc. More savings: E-LOAN saves you hundreds of dollars by cutting commissions, eliminating junk and lender fees and offering competitive rates from many lenders in one place. Faster process: E-LOAN's automated underwriting gives most borrowers a firm credit decision quickly. Unnecessary steps are eliminated, resulting in faster closings. Personal service: Once you've submitted an application, you'll be assigned a personal loan consultant who will be your single point of contact for the entire process, all the way through closing. 24-hour access: You're in control with online access to your loan's status anytime, day or night, using your personal, password-protected E-Track account.

One really can't deny that that shipping the secret weapon of mass destruction (Ulyanov-1 across Germany in a sealed railway car) produced a lot of fallout.

I doubt those govts would be able to hide their traces well enough for the CIA not to have wind of this. Then, the US have two options: either officially yell, and maybe militarily attack (they'd have a huge popular support for this), or let the CIA do the thing, as in Chile, for instance. Leads to a war of civilian bombings ? Official yells would be of course accompanied with sanctions, probably voted at UNSC unanimity (minus a veto if the responsbile country is in UNSC itself, but I doubt that'd change much anyway). Something that could (though not very probable either) avoid these consequences is "unofficial" actions, by people without any state connection whatsoever (or company, etc). But even then, look at what happened to Afghanistan. Granted, a EU country might be a bit more hard of a target to attack, but it would be easier for the CIA to do the same kind of covert attacks there. I doubt many countries want to get involved into that. -- Vincent Penquerc'h

Title: SponsorClick News - Issue 28 - March/April 2003 SponsorClick News - Issue 28 - April 2003 Dear reader, Are you over paying for your sponsorship rights? Find out if you are through an exclusive article by Xavier Quattrocchi-Oubradous, CEO of SponsorClick. Also, in this issue, SponsorRating™ tells us about Chelsea FC web site's update. If you have any questions, comments and/or concerns please e-mail us. Best wishes, Shadyra Santiana Editor In this issue: 1. Sponsorship Marketing: How and Why? Don't Overpay Your Rights 2. SponsorRating™ : "Chelsea FC Web Site" Assigned "B" Rating 3. Hot Off The Press! 4. Unusual Transactions 5. Looking For the Most Professional Services in Sponsorship Marketing? .1. Sponsorship Marketing: How and Why? Don't Overpay Your Rights by Xavier Quattrocchi-Oubradous, Chief Executive Officer, SponsorClick - top Linking the value of sponsorship rights to TV visibility can be dangerous for advertisers and sponsor seekers As most advertisers have noted, the cost of sponsorship rights for large events or organizations (be they sports, arts or other popular properties) has inflated considerably in the past 10 years. We believe that this escalation in costs is mainly due to the strong but misguided link between TV rights and sponsorship rights. This trend is dangerous for advertisers as well as for sponsored organisations. The Link The link was created based on a formula used for classic airtime purchases (i.e. advertising). There are very few variables implied in media space buying: namely, the supply and demand of available space. Advertisers then fill the purchased space or airtime with their message or image, showcasing their product or service in their environment. There is no risk and no uncertainty. It is this link that has sponsors paying approximately one U.S dollar per 1,000 TV viewers according to our proprietary research. But in the case of sponsorship marketing, TV visibility is uncontrolled, irregular, and unpredictable. Visibility can vary from nothing to stellar, without any possibility of control from the Advertiser. Take the example of Audemars Piguet, a Swiss watch manufacturer, who invested as a second rank sponsor of the Alinghi Swiss Challenge during the America's Cup. Alinghi's victory was visible everywhere, in all media, and when you saw a picture of the winning team, most of the time you also saw the Audemars Piguet name on the boat's boom. When compared to Telecom Italia Group's marginal visibility on the Mascalzone Latino Challenge, we can see the difference was probably 1 to 100, while the initial investment was in the same range. In theory, a probabilistic coefficient should be applied to the value of visibility, so that the Advertiser will not over-pay for it. Another factor in the link that is driving up the cost of sponsorship rights is undoubtedly the number of spectators. SponsorClick had conducted research which shows that there is no clear correlation between number of spectators and the price of sponsorship packages. SponsorClick has also reviewed the correlation between sponsorship prices and access to databases, corporate hospitality, access to content etc. Again, no correlation was found. Data shows that only TV visibility seems to correlate with sponsorship prices. The Dangers (1) For Sponsors Because of the link sponsors tend to invest large amounts of money inefficiently and are discouraged when expected results are not evident. The vast majority of less experienced sponsors may find their sponsorship campaigns unsettling: they see over-optimistic media-driven returns, while commercial return and improvement in notoriety remain unchanged. They can see their brand, product or service on TV but are frustrated by the inability to measure the real impact of their sponsorship investments. The risk, then, is top management cutting these budgets, damaging years' worth of effort. This "worst case scenario" is quite common,

FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONFIDENTIALITY REPLY ONLY TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am an Attorney and close confidant of MRS. MARYAM ABACHA, the former first lady and wife of the late GEN. SANI ABACHA, the former head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. She (MRS. M. ABACHA), has as a result of the trust and confidence she has in me mandated that I search for a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner, who will help receive some funds which she had in cash totaling US$45m (Forty Five Million United States Dollars Only) into a personal, company or any reliable foreign bank account for safe keeping for a short period of time, since her family bank accounts within and outside the country have all been frozen by the authorities. This money in question has however, been carefully keptin defaced form and deposited with a security company that has branches in Europe and America. You may therefore be required to travel to any of the branches to collect the money on behalf of my client for safe keeping. It may also interest you to know that she (MRS. ABACHA) and her family have, since the inception of the present democratic government, been placed under partial house arrest, with their international traveler's passports withdrawn pending the resolution of current fund recovery face - off between them and the present RTD GEN. OBASANJO led Federal Government, which from all indications will not exceed this year. She has decided to offer anybody who will be willing to render this tremendous assistance 20% of the total sum, while 5% shall be set aside for incidental expenses. Note that this transaction involves no risks whatsoever, as you will have no dealing with my country, Nigeria. Rather, you will deal directly with the security company, which is based where the money is right now. Let me have your confidential Tel/Fax Numbers in your response to this proposal. I shall let you into a complete lly beneficial transaction when I have received your anticipated positive reply. This matter should be treated as urgent and confidential. This is very important. **FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONFIDENTIALITY REPLY ONLY TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best Regards, Martins Ibillo. -- Faites un voeu et puis Voila ! www.voila.fr
