		<description>plunger, someone on Liberty Forum is asking for hard evidence that the israelis did 911.  I know about the very suspicious moving van company and the dancing israelis celebrating this American tragedy and some people are saying that michael moore used disinfo to say that the planes that were allowed to leave on 9/12 when all us planes were grounded was not the saudis but the israelis who did 911.

The moving van case is a little complicated and I wonder if you have a good link that outlines what the so called israeli art students, the mossad owned moving companies out of New Jersey and the planes that left just after 911 is outlined as clearly as possible.

The israel codename for 911, The Big Wedding seems to hint at the occult nature of 911 and blasphemously refers to the Marriage Feast of the Lamb by these israelis who think that God is the Jewish people.  Not all Jews believe this but the N-o-a-h-i-d-e Jews need to be investigated by non-Jews and Jews.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Spamming is spamming, no matter the excuse used.

Comment by Wayne â€” January 13, 2008 @ 8:49 am&lt;/em&gt;

Agreed.  Every time I find multi page posts I know who the author is and I immediately skip to the next post.  I assume that people post to be read.  Why would someone continually make long posts that  others complain about?  Just start your own frickin&#039; blog if you have such a penchant to write.  Then give a link to your writing until people start reading/subscribing on their own.</description>

		<description>I agree with the earlier posting that we have to convince the media that it is ok to admit that waterboarding is torture and has been considered torture for centuries.  George W. should be facing U.S. and international charges for ordering torture.  The Democratic presidential candidates should be asked if waterboarding is torture so we can see who has the stones to put an end to this illegal and immoral practice.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;McConnell said the legal test for torture should be â€œpretty simpleâ€: â€œIs it excruciatingly painful to the point of forcing someone to say something because of the pain?â€&lt;/em&gt;

Well, pehaps, in Mr. McConnell&#039;s mind, that &quot;should&quot; be the legal test for torture. But it is not. There is a clearly defined legal test for torture, and waterboarding meets it. The US, along with the rest of the civilized world, agreed with this, until it was discovered that BushCo was using the technique. It was only at that point that the administration decided that &quot;the legal test should be pretty simple&quot;, as if complexity was a fatal flaw of the definition, and the source of all this controversy.

		<description>As a child, I remember hearing stories about Nazi units surrendering to US forces because they knew they would be treated fairly and humanely. This was always related in History or Civics class as part of the logic against using torture.</description>

I  am  against  multiple long posts,  when  a  link  will  do,  especially  when I have  already  read  most  of  the  pages  posted.

Spamming  is  spamming, no  matter  the  excuse  used.</description>

		<description>These long-assed posts are torture.

The totality of the conspiracy cannot be fully comprehended in sound bites.  But you knew that.  That&#039;s why those attempting to conceal all of the elements of the conspiracy continue to insist on form (brevity) over substance (truth).

Are you with US or against US?

As our troops in the field are dying daily, along with untold hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, the least we can all do is take the time to read and comprehend the vastness of the conspiracy, and how every player and every action connects to every other player and action.

Connect the thousands of dots to reveal the truth.</description>

War Criminals, Beware
by Jeremy Brecher and Brendan Smith
 
On November 14 a group of lawyers and other experts will come before the German federal prosecutor and ask him to open a criminal investigation targeting Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales and other key Bush Administration figures for war crimes. The recent passage of the Military Commissions Act provides a central argument for the legal action, under the doctrine of universal jurisdiction: It demonstrates the intent of the Bush Administration to immunize itself legally from prosecution in the United States, even for the most serious crimes.

The Military Commissions Act of 2006, which the President promoted and recently signed into law, provides retroactive immunity for civilians who violated the War Crimes Act, including officials of the Bush Administration. Such an attempt to provide immunity for their crimes, it will be argued, is in itself evidence of an effort to block prosecution of those crimes. Indeed, according to Scott Horton, chair of the International Law Committee of the New York City Bar Association, when Yugoslavia sought to immunize senior government officials, the United States declared the act itself to be evidence of such a conspiracy.
