Dear sir, I have nothing but praise for the courage you have shown and I hope you will continue to show in revealing the true horror of the UK. and u.s.a. attack on the good people of Iraq, a lot of people cannot truly perceive the carnage that has been caused mainly due to our press being suppressed by our government, it is only when they see the photos you show then and then only does the truth hit home, then the public voice their opposition to such acts of unlawful aggression, if your photos were not seen people would see only the blast of the bomb, the government then tell us it was a smart bomb and that it only flattens buildings, some people believe this, some people wish to believe this to placate their shame, your website is the bastion for free press and i hope and pray that you carry on doing the tremendous work you are doing, this can only help world peace when your photos make people stand up to their governments and say in one voice this is wrong stop it. God bless to all your brave people. Yours Sincerely, John Kitson
I guess Rumsfeld now has his sights set on Syria (or is it Iran ... or N. Korea ... or the whole damn world?). I read that this caravan that was shot were actually sheep herders, but I think the official version is that they were driving wealthy cars and were Saddam's henchmen (those guys with WMD). Perhaps, they were Saddam's henchmen "disguised" as sheep herders and had all of Iraq's WMD with them (which were then all destroyed, conveniently making such now impossible to discover)? Read the following news article, Syria demands explanation after US fails to return injured border guards. Look at aljazeerah.info, News of June 27, 2003. Mark Franklin.
Resistance to foreign occupation and International Law Dear Editor, The struggle against illegal occupation by the people of a country using "all necessary means at their disposal" has been supported by several United Nations resolutions that reflect the overwhelming consent of the international community. Resolution 2908 (1972) for example, which included this language, was adopted by 99 votes for, to 5 against, and 23 abstentions. Perhaps most clearly United Nations' Resolution 2625 (24 October 1970), reflecting principles of customary international law, clearly states that people fighting against an illegal occupation "are entitled to seek and receive support." Thus, the opposition forces of Iraq and
Afghanistan that fight against America's illegal occupation of their
countries can justly claim to have not only God on their side, but also
international law.
The BBC program was also broadcasted on Dutch national television some days ago, revealing the one and only real truth about WMD in the Middle East. The
U.S. administration has known ( and probably supported ) this all for
decades, starting with J.F. Kennedy. The
program shows how immoral and hypocrite the Israeli regime is. The
estimated number of nuclear bombs is between 100 and 200, enough for
destroying the whole Middle East. Yet
the brutal Israeli regime tries to excuse their war crimes and crimes
against humanity committed in Palestine "out of fear for
destruction of Israel". Those
who did not see the program yet: Ask the BBC for a copy! Frederik

declared over the weekend that it is cutting off ties with the BBC to
protest a repeat The
program was broadcast for the first time in March in Britain, and was
rerun Saturday The
boycott decision was made by Israel's public relations forum, made up of
representatives from the Prime Minister's
Office, the Foreign Ministry and the Government Press Office. It
was decided that government offices won't assist BBC producers and
reporters, that Israeli officials will not give interviews to the
British network, and that the Government Press Office will make it
difficult for BBC employees to get press cards and work visas in Israel. Before
the broadcast Saturday, Israeli officials tried to pressure the BBC to
cancel the broadcast, saying that the program was biased and presented
Israel as an evil dictatorship, The
forum members were furious at the trailers to the program, which showed
pictures of the The
trailer also says that there is no external supervision over Israel,
"which is holding in custody for 17 years a man who has leaked its
secrets." The
broadcast deals with Israel's attempts to maintain a policy of ambiguity
on its nuclear Danny
Seaman, the head of the Government Press Office, has been saying for
some time that the "BBC has a clear anti-Israel policy, bordering
on anti-Semitism". Seaman told Army Radio on Sunday that the BBC
broadcast was an attempt to tarnish Israel.
Warm and Loving Palestine By Roy ReeceJune 27, 2003 Palestinians are a warm loving race Stop destroying the beautiful trees Don't let this be your final book of Psalms *** Palestinian eyes have seen such grief The taste of freedom so very sweet ***
A Song For Jenin
It was a night when angels cried
A time when women and children died
To those who did this horrible crime
You will answer to God sometime
To those who died that time in hell
Now angels stand where you fell
To those who lived and pray for you
Your cause lives on with strength anew
I am old and near my end
I'll not be there when you win
Know that beautiful Palestinian flag will
fly with glee
From the river to the sea
