â€Because the Bush administration rejected giving workers' rights and human rights and environmental safeguards parity with protections for corporate interests, CAFTA would benefit multinational corporations that want to manufacture goods in foreign sweatshops with low-wage labor and then sell us those goods at huge profits." |

Exiled Allawi was Responsible for 45-Minute WMD Claim |

 Friday's NY Times headline claimed that Dr. Allawi was the "surprising choice" for prime minister. It look more like Allawi is the _not so surprising choice_. Their special page on Iraq is today filled with sycophantic and mendacious praise for Allawi, demonstrating that the Times has learned nothing from what they have claiimed this week was their deception by the likes of Allawi in the run-up to the Iraq war. In fact, it looks like the Times is a willing participant with the U.S. government in planting disinformation, rather than a victim of misinformation as they portray themselves, as many media critics charge. |

The teams from Guantánamo Bay, which had operated there under directives allowing broad latitude in questioning "enemy combatants," played a central role at Abu Ghraib through December, the officials said, a time when the worst abuses of prisoners were taking place. Prisoners captured in Iraq, unlike those sent from Afghanistan to Guantánamo, were to be protected by the Geneva Conventions.
"We were pretty much told that they were nobodies, that they were just enemy combatants," he said. "I think that giving them the distinction of soldier would have changed our attitudes toward them. A lot of it was based on racism, really. We called them hajis, and that psychology was really important." |

In my neighborhood -- I live six blocks from the World Trade Center -- the heavens were raining human beings. Our city was changed forever. Our country was changed forever. Our world was changed forever." |

More revealing than they evidently intended, the editors' article repeatedly lumped together two institutions -- the New York Times and the U.S. government -- as though they were somehow in comparable situations during the lead-up to the war. The excuses for both were sounding remarkably similar. So, the Times editors insinuated that they, along with top officials in Washington, were victims rather than perpetrators... |
