THE BIG MISTAKE Forward: "Although few tears were shed in Israel over Saddam Hussein's death last week, a small but growing chorus - including government officials, academics and Iraqi émigrés - is warning that Israel could find itself in more danger with him gone, and that it might even regret having welcomed his toppling." The trouble is that the Bush aggression has not only deteriorated the Middle East situation, but is also ruining the Western economies and their moral authority. ICH: "Lies have consequences. All those who helped President George W. Bush launch a war of aggression - termed by Nuremberg 'the supreme international crime' - have blood on their hands and must be held accountable. This includes corrupt intelligence officials. Otherwise, look for them to perform the same service in facilitating war on Iran." WashingtonPost: "Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said yesterday that he believes top officials in the Bush administration have privately concluded they have lost Iraq and are simply trying to postpone disaster so the next president will 'be the guy landing helicopters inside the Green Zone, taking people off the roof', in a chaotic withdrawal reminiscent of Vietnam." Guardian: "... suspicions were recently hardened when the airport's former director confirmed that numerous alleged CIA flights touched down at Szymany, where they were met by military vehicles from Stare Kiejkuty. The evidence from Mariola Przewlocka, who was sacked from her job last year for 'political reasons', prompted MEPs to make the first official claim that terror suspects may have been detained on EU soil." As long as Tweedledum and Tweedledee are in power in Poland they will subvert European policies. FAS: "Declaring that the need to protect government secrets overrides all other considerations, a federal court yesterday dismissed a lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency filed by family members of a former CIA clandestine officer who alleged injuries that are largely classified." Lawlessness and arbitrariness (signing laws then write a 'signing statement' that nullifies the law) are characteristics of fascist governments. 12:11:48 PM
