Al Alam TV - Tehran, Iran - November 15, 2006 -

ANCHOR:” The spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and scholarships confirmed that 70 captured employees have been freed, including the assistant general director of the scholarships’ administration. He added that most of those who were released, including Sunnis, Shiites, and Christians, had been beaten and humiliated. Meanwhile, the Minister of Higher Education, <name unintelligible>, has decided to suspend all work until the rest of the hostages are released. More than 100 employees and supervisors who were working in one of the Ministry’s institutions were kidnapped by armed men in the center of Baghdad.”

“The American Occupation forces announced that 6 of their soldiers were killed, including four who died from injuries sustained during a battle in the Anbar province in western Iraq. A statement by the occupation said that the four killed included one soldier and three Marines. Two other soldiers were killed by an explosive device in western Baghdad.”

“While US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice says that there is no magic bullet in Iraq, the new Senate Democratic Majority leader Harry Reid vowed to increase pressure to withdraw American troops from Iraq.”

REPORTER:” The widespread killing in Iraq continues. Explosions in various Iraqi cities killed and injured dozens of civilians. In the capitol of Baghdad, thirteen people were killed and dozens of others were injured. According to a detailed police report, a booby-trapped car exploded at the Kalani stop in the bab al Sharji area near the main entrance of the Ministry of Interior, killing and wounding dozens of civilians.”

“West of Baghdad, one Iraqi was killed, and three others were injured. In Mosul, in Northern Iraq, the media was once again targeted. Armed men killed Fadia Mohammed Ali, a journalist who works for the Masar newspaper, and her chauffer, as they were driving to work. In Latifiya, the police said that it (sic) had found ten unidentified bodies. In the city of Fallujah, the American occupation army acknowledged that a soldier from the 1st Armored Division and three Marines died from their injuries, sustained last night in the Anbar province in Western Baghdad. The increase in the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq has created division on the political scene in Washington.”

“This division is not limited to the defeat of Bush and his party in the midterm congresssional elections. For example, US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice has rejected recommendations about ways to bring stability to Iraq made by former US Secretary of State James Baker and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Also the new Senate Majority leader for the Democrats –Harry Reid– vowed to increase pressure to withdraw US troops form Iraq. He questioned what victory President Bush was talking about, when the number of US soldiers dying in the country is on the rise.”

When terrorists struck the United States, the eyes of America were finally opened to the threat we are facing. But while we are dealing with the prospect of rogue nations possessing nuclear weapons or IEDs killing American combat soldiers on a daily basis; while we’re focusing on short term goals in Iraq and Afghanistan; we’re ignoring an even grater threat not just to the Middle East, but to worldwide stability. To our peril, we’re ignoring or at the very least not paying enough attention to the other undeclared war; the propaganda war.

Joseph Goebbels used it to deadly effect for Nazi Germany; first to dehumanize, relocate, then incarcerate millions of Jews, opening the door to their eventual extermination if the Allies hadn’t stopped them. Now it is being used by Arab governments to influence their populations and incite hatred of the West. And we’re just standing here in silence, failing to heed the warnings of the past and allowing it to happen.

Syria Satellite TV, Damascus, Syria - 11/14/2006 -

<ANCHOR:> Outgoing US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is facing charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, regardless of where and when they were committed.

<REPORTER:>One who is not familiar with the hawk may try to roast it. Let me rephrase the saying. Anyone who is acting like a hawk will eventually be cooked. The aforementioned saying can easily be applied to one of the most harmful hawks of the US administration, Donald Rumsfeld.

Rumsfeld, who was an American hawk not long ago, was recently stripped of his title, and his claws were clipped. Some believe that Rumsfeld was a scapegoat, who was being sacrificed to exonerate his master’s sins at the White House. His day finally came. The hawk lost his wings, so he could no hurt any more victims, especially those locked up birds in the cages of Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib.

After their victory in the midterm elections, regaining control of Congress, the Democrats started capitalizing on the political downfall of their Republican counterparts. Rumsfeld was one of the first big hawks to fall, and others may soon fall as well. Nevertheless, some still believe that Rumsfeld was made the scapegoat, so that others can go free.

Who are the others? Let me give you a hint. Some have played roles in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib prison scandals. If the walls of Abu Ghraib could talk, they would tell us a real tale from the crypt. The victims were subjected to an elaborate scheme of torture and humiliation in the name of Democracy. Who will heal the wounds and redeem the souls of those sexually assaulted in the name of a free world? History will judge the united States of America and it’s allies for their crimes against humanity in Iraq Afghanistan, and elsewhere. What is next? The killer hawk is still at large. He may not be flying anymore, but he is free. Who will bring him to justice?

Civil rights activists filed a lawsuit Tuesday, asking German prosecutors to open a war crimes investigation of Rumsfeld for his alleged role in allowing torture to take place at US prisons in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay Cuba.”

“The US Administration has been known for deserting it’s fallen hawks, regardless of how big they were. Rumsfeld, or “Don” as Bush used to call him, was one of Bush’s favorite aides, and he was given more latitude than other White House staff. However, he has recently become the punching bag for Washington’s politicians. As he leaves the White House, he leaves unhappy memories behind.”
