"A lawsuit was filed late Friday January 14th in the U.S. District Court in Reno, Nevada against President Bush and Vice President Cheney. The lawsuit alleges that both defendants have acted outside the scope of their job description in waging a war against Iraq. The complaint alleges that both defendants and others working within the White House and Defense Department have covertly implemented a white paper called 'Rebuilding America's Defenses': as presented by the Project for the New American Century or "PNAC" in September, 2000 two months before the murky elections of that year. Among the persons signing the paper were Richard Cheney and Jeb Bush. While the paper was published on the internet, implementation of it by the White House has been in secret."

Guardian: "The first British soldier has come forward to urge mass refusal among the ranks to serve in Iraq, saying he would rather go to prison than accept a call-up to war."
British soldiers abused Iraqi prisoners.
"Dutch peacekeeping troops killed an Iraqi on Wednesday morning after the car he was travelling in failed to stop at a security checkpoint."
I still don't understand why they call them 'peacekeeping troups'.
CommonDreams: "Officers of the Central Intelligence Agency and other nonmilitary personnel fall outside the bounds of a 2002 directive issued by President George W. Bush that pledged the humane treatment of prisoners in U.S. custody, Alberto Gonzales, the White House counsel, said in a document."
ICH: "The world-renowned anti-nuclear and environmental activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Helen Caldicott, has warned that US President George Bush's re-election does not bode well for mankind, and she fears that the human race may not survive his second term (2005-2009).
'This is the most serious election that has ever occurred in the history of the human race, without a scrag of doubt. I don't know if we'll survive the next four years ... I don't think the Americans have, on the whole, the faintest idea - and I have to say also I don't think most Australians do either. But it's not just the threat from nuclear war. It's the threat of what's happening to the environment, the global warming which is occurring rapidly now, to ozone depletion, to species extinction, to deforestation - it's the whole thing,' the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Caldicott as saying."

Today is a sad day. The coronation of a madman, a man who believes that God gave him the power to torture, bomb and destroy the whole world, the power to give to the rich and take from the poor. It is a sad day, indeed, when the mainstream media condone the unjust policies of a religious maniac, a latter-day hooligan and warmonger, a mob leader, a fundamentalist mullah who scorns democracy. Sieg Heil is their motto.
