spinning the wheels of terror .....

‘Whatever the Bush administration may have in store for Iran, it remains abundantly clear that by the government's own standard, if the weights and measures applied against Cuba may be applied according to the principle of universality (that is to say, without hypocrisy), the United States itself easily qualifies as a state sponsor of terrorism.

 

But while terrorism is a grave & serious crime, the greater crime of "aggression" should not be lost upon us. Defined by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg as "the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole", this greater context should remain in perspective in any serious analysis of the Bush administration's so-called "war on terrorism".

 

 

In this Counterpunch article, Jeremy Hammond makes a nonsense of America’s ‘war on terror’, elegantly highlighting its hypocrisy & once again demonstrating the truth of the adage: ‘one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter’.

 

State Sponsors of Terrorism

Is this so hot...

Is this article so hot that the Counterpunch site seems to have vanished from cyber space?... I wonder...

'hiccups'

Hi Gus.

There seem to be a few 'hiccups' with the net at the moment.

No sure if houston central is playing around or if Geldorf's G8 gigs have caused a power surge?

Definitely not the link though.

Cheers.
