The NTRC is a project of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation + The Justice Project.

00.000.1999 Inderfurth met Taliban's New York representative, Abdul Hakeem Mujahid to get more information on the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden.

00.Jul.2001 -mid- meeting in Berlin, together with senior Americans + Russians + Iranians + Pakistanis.

On the American side was Tom Simons, a former US ambassador to Pakistan + Lee Coldren, who headed the office of Pakistan, Afghan + Bangladesh affairs in the State Department until 1997.

Naik claimed that Tom Simons issued a stern ultimatum that impressed upon him the significance of this meeting + the end of the negotiations route.

Naik quotes Simons as having said, "in case the Taliban does not behave + in case Pakistan doesn't help us to influence the Taliban,

then the USA would be left with no option but to take an overt action against Afghanistan."

"The placebo operates through expectancy. In this study, we've taken the pill out of the picture. We're just manipulating expectancies," he says.

"The results beg the question of what can we do to target anticipatory processes in our patients that might lead to better outcomes."

In short, the new study shows how expectancy affects how humans perceive sensory input + how events in the brain are directly related to those perceptions
28.Mar.2006 Brain Anticipates Taste, Shifts Gears 
As the prism of our senses, the human brain has ways of refracting sensory input in defiance of reality.
This is seen, for example, in the placebo effect, when simple sugar pills or inert salves taken by unwitting subjects are seen to ease pain or have some other beneficial physiological effect. How the brain processes this faked input and prompts the body to respond is largely a mystery of neuroscience.

Asner is reportedly going on to support Charlie Sheen's bold and brave stance calling for a real investigation of the events on September 11th, 2001 as well as to raise his own questions.

Also on Showbiz Tonight on March 27, actress Sharon Stone defended Sheen and his First Amendment right to speak out saying that he is brave and that it is important to confront authority.

Asner and Sheen are just two more of many celebrities who have already come forward to question the official story of what happened on 11.Sep.2001. Actor James Woods began questioning the official fable in the first weeks right after 11.Sep.2001. X-Files and Lone Gunmen star Dean Haglund has already gone public on the Alex Jones Show ( December 18, 2004 ) questioning the official story.

Retired Command Sergeant Major Eric Haney, founding member of the military's elite covert counter-terrorist unit, Delta force, has stated publicly for the record that he sees the war in Iraq as an "Utter debacle" based on intentions by the Bush administration that were "not what they stated" and that "there is no real threat to the U.S. in the world".

Haney made the comments in an exclusive interview with David Kronke for the LA Daily News published yesterday.

After Haney retired from the military his book "Inside Delta Force" became the basis for the hit CBS drama "The Unit," where he now assumes technical adviser and executive producer duties.

When questioned on Iraq Haney responded with the following:

Utter debacle. But it had to be from the very first. The reasons were wrong.

The reasons of this administration for taking this nation to war were not what they stated. (Army Gen.) Tommy Franks was brow-beaten + ... pursued warfare that he knew strategically was wrong in the long term. That's why he retired immediately afterward. His own staff could tell him what was going to happen afterward.

We have fomented civil war in Iraq.

We have probably fomented internecine war in the Muslim world between the Shias + the Sunnis + I think Bush may well have started the third world war, all for their own personal policies.

We'd better take it seriously when the founder member of one of the most elite military forces in the world says Bush has fomented a third world war for personal gain.

Der Prozess geriet zum Desaster - Zeugen der amerikanischen Luftfahrtbehörde FAA waren von einer Regierungsjuristin präpariert worden.

In der Strategie der Anklage klaffe eine "Glaubwürdigkeitslücke, groß genug, um einen Laster hindurchzufahren", schrieb sie in einer internen Mail.

Die empörte Richterin Leonie Brinkema drohte mit dem Abbruch des Verfahrens: "So etwas ist mir in all meinen Jahren noch nie passiert."

Agenten des FBI warfen ihren Vorgesetzen "kriminelle Fahrlässigkeit" bei den Ermittlungen gegen Moussaoui vor.

"Sie sind Ihr größter Feind"

Und während für seine Anwälte, mit denen Moussaoui nicht spricht, der Sieg schon möglich schien, schlägt sich Moussaoui jetzt auf die Seite der Ankläger.

Bis zum letzten Moment beschwören ihn die Verteidiger nicht zu reden, er lässt sie abblitzen: "Ich betrachte alle Amerikaner als meine Feinde."

Auch die Richterin, an die Kapriolen ihres Angeklagten gewohnt, mahnt noch einmal: "Sie müssen versprechen, die Wahrheit zu sagen."
Richtig bemüht scheint Moussaoui, die Lücken der Beweisführung zu schließen. Könne man sagen, lockt der Staatsanwalt, dass er gelogen habe, damit die Anschläge nicht entdeckt werden?

"Das kann man so sagen", antwortet Moussaoui. Er habe sich extra ein Radio für die Zelle besorgt, um die Ereignisse zu verfolgen, fügt er noch hilfsbereit hinzu.

30 Minuten spricht er mit leiser, fast sanfter Stimme. "That is correct", antwortet er ein Dutzend Mal auf die Fragen der Ankläger.

"Moussaoui liefert, wo die Zeugen der Regierung versagt haben", kommentiert NBC.
"Sie sind Ihr größter Feind", hat ihn Richterin Brinkema mehr als einmal gemahnt.

Er scheint wie jemand, der den Tod nicht erwarten kann. "Gott schütze Bin Laden", oder "Ich bin der Feind", skandierte er vor der fassungslosen Jury. Jetzt ist es an ihnen zu urteilen.
Was ist Dichtung, was Wahrheit? Kommt das gestrige Geständnis der Wahrheit nah, oder sucht Moussaoui nur den spektakulären Tod als Märtyrer?

Er ist kein Unschuldiger, viele Beweise deuten darauf hin, dass er etwas mit den Anschlägen des 11.Sep.2001 zu tun hat.

Nur was, das ist nach gestern noch schwerer zu beurteilen als bisher.

28.Mar.2006 http: Kill for Jesus! Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (whose last name is an anagram for "acned rot") likes to earn the occasional bucket of ink by making outrageous statements in front of microphones. His most notable outburst: Calling for the
nuclear annihilation of Mecca and Medina should Muslim extremists ever set off a weapon of mass destruction within our borders. Tommy, who considers himself a good Christian, thinks that Jesus would applaud a mass slaughter of the innocent.
Recently, Tom the Toon had it out with Hillary Clinton over her claim that the Republican anti-immigration bill "would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."
Tom's reply: "Hillary Clinton doesn't know the first thing about the Bible. Her impression, her analysis, her interpretation of both the law and the Bible are certainly wrong."

Nicht länger als eine halbe Minute wütete die Windhose am Montagabend in Hamburg-Harburg, teilte der Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD) in Offenbach mit.

Das Ergebnis war dennoch verheerend: Die mächtige Luftsäule ließ zwei Baukräne umstürzen, riss die Kranführer in den Tod und hinterließ eine Schneise der Verwüstung.

"Mit einem Tornado wie dem von Hamburg-Harburg ist in Deutschland ungefähr alle zwei bis drei Jahre zu rechnen", erklärt Andreas Friedrich vom DWD im Gespräch mit SPIEGEL ONLINE.

Der Meteorologe zählt jedes Jahr zwischen 20 und 30 Tornados geringer Stärke in Deutschland. "Bei dem Harburg-Tornado handelt es sich allerdings bereits um einen stärkeren F2-Tornado", sagt Friedrich.

"Die Macht des Internet"

Hinter der basisdemokratisch anmutenden Aktion steckt offenbar politisches Kalkül:

Für die Veröffentlichung der Akten sorgte Peter Hoekstra, Republikaner und Vorsitzender des Geheimdiensausschusses im Kongress.

Zweck der Veröffentlichung sei, "die Macht des Internet" für die Auswertung zu nutzen, für die die Regierung sonst Jahrzehnte brauchen würde, sagte er der "New York Times".

"Die Leute sollen einen direkteren Blick auf Saddams Regime bekommen."

Der Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung gibt den Akten aber vor allem politische Brisanz:

Noch nie war die öffentliche Zustimmung zum Irak-Einsatz so niedrig wie heute.

Eine neu angefachte Debatte über Saddams Massenvernichtungswaffen könnte US-Präsident George Bush neue Zustimmung bescheren.

Der Geheimdienst-Historiker John Prados vom Nationalen Sicherheitsarchiv vermutet:

"Die Regierung steht unter Druck, weil sie ohne konkrete Bedrohung einen Krieg geführt hat.

Das Ziel muss darum sein, den Eindruck zu erzeugen, dass die Bedrohung real war."

Die Taktik schein aufzugehen:

Vor allem Blogger aus der rechten Ecke heben vor allem jene Dokumente hervor, die von einem Treffen Osama Bin Ladens mit einem irakischen Geheimdienstoffizier

00.000.1995 im Sudan handeln, einem Programm zur Ausbildung arabischer Fanatiker zu Selbstmordattentätern, sowie ein Dokument, indem davon die Rede ist, Chemiewaffen gegen Kurden einzusetzen.

Dass die Bush-Administration schon lange zu dem Schluss gekommen ist, dass der Irak vor der Invasion vor drei Jahren keine verbotenen Massenvernichtungswaffen besessen hat, spielt in den Weblogs keine Rolle.

"Es geht nicht um Politik", sagt Blogger Robinson. "Es geht um die Wahrheit."

In einem dritten Bericht erklärt die GAO, dass die Ziele von Außenministerium + Heimatschutz schlicht "unrealistisch" seien.

Das Programm sei zudem finanziell kaum zu bewältigen.

Schon jetzt werde man damit rechnen müssen, das Budget von 342 Millionen Dollar zu überschreiten.

Zwei Teams hätten im Dezember 2005 gleichzeitig die jeweiligen Grenzen mit Fahrzeugen passiert, heißt es in dem Bericht des GAO.

Der Versuch sei ursprünglich durchgeführt worden, um die an den Grenzen installierten Geräte zur Messung von Strahlung zu testen.

Diese hätten auch angeschlagen.

Die Ermittler hätten die Grenze dann allerdings trotzdem passieren können - mit gefälschten Papieren, die zum Transport des Materials berechtigten.

Die behördlichen Schmuggler hatten sich für ihren Einsatz als Angestellte einer fiktiven Firma ausgegeben.

Das gefährliche Material hatten sie eigenen Angaben zufolge auf dem freien Markt erworben.

"Es ist ein Armutszeugnis für das System, dass es einfacher ist, radioaktives Material zu kaufen als Erkältungsmedizin", sagte ein Behördenmitarbeiter dem Sender CNN.

"Blinder Fleck im Sicherheitssystem"

In einem Brief des GAO an den republikanischen Senator Norm Coleman heißt es, die Grenzbehörden hätten die Echtheit der Dokumente nicht in Frage gestellt.

Coleman, Vorsitzender eines Unterausschusses für Heimatschutz, hatte den verdeckten Einsatz angeregt.

Er bekannte: "Wir haben einen massiven blinden Fleck in unserem Fracht-Sicherheitssystem."

Heute soll eine Anhörung vor dem Gremium stattfinden.

Vom Heimatschutzministerium gab es zunächst keine Stellungnahme.

"Walking on a Tightrope:" Maintaining London As a Financial Center

Geoffrey Jones
This case focuses on the development of the City of London as a leading international financial center and the difficulties it faces maintaining its status. It looks at London's history as a financial center from Roman times to the present day. London's position in the 19th century rested on the great importance of Britain in the world economy and the role of sterling as the major international currency. By the mid-20th century, both of these factors were much reduced in importance, but London was renewed as the physical home of the Euromarkets. Examines the regulatory and other factors, including economies of agglomeration, which contribute to making a financial center.

Creating the International Trade Organization

David A. Moss, George Appling, Andrew Archer
In the late 1940s, officials at the U.S. State Department began campaigning for the creation of an International Trade Organization (ITO).

This new organization would oversee global negotiations on trade liberalization, foreign direct investment, cartels + commodity agreements; and it would complement the IMF + the World Bank, both of which were founded at the Bretton Woods Conference 00.000.1944 to address international financial flows.

Together, the IMF, the World Bank + the ITO would comprise a comprehensive system for the management of international economic affairs.

As it turned out, however, the proposed ITO proved extremely controversial both within the USA + around the world.

00.000.1949 When President Truman finally sent the ITO Charter to Congress, lawmakers there had to decide whether to endorse this product of three years of intense international negotiations or simply let it die an unceremonious death in Washington, D.C. In Search of Global Regulation

Geoffrey Jones
Surveys the history of the international regulation of global capitalism + addresses the challenges facing firms confronting international, national + regional regulation.

Follows the history of global regulation after 1914, from the League of Nations' Conference on the Codification of International Law to the establishment of the World Trade Organization.

Tracks initiatives by the OECD + the United Nations to develop regulatory regimes for multinationals + explores why none of these initiatives resulted in mandatory regulations.

Also describes a range of other regulation tools, including bilateral investment treaties and corporate codes of conduct.

Teaching Purpose: To consider the challenges of devising an appropriate level of global regulation by asking students to examine whether they think the world needs a system of global regulation.

If so, what form would that regulation take? Further, what responsibility do entrepreneurs and firms have to the global economy?

Multinational Corporations in Apartheid-era South Africa: Should they be made to pay? Geoffrey Jones
The case considers the law suits filed on behalf of victims of apartheid against multinationals which operated in South Africa prior to 1994.

It reviews the debates about divestment from and sanctions against South Africa from the 1950 s.

There are case studies of companies that divested - Eastman Kodak + IBM - and stayed - Royal Dutch/Shell and Johnson & Johnson.

It concludes with evidence on the use of the Alien Tort Clains Act against corporations in other international contexts.

More generally, the case demonstrates the problems of knowledge transfer even within large internationally experienced multinationals.

-before- Globalizing Consumer Durables: Singer Sewing Machine

Geoffrey Jones
Examines the global strategy of Singer, one of the world's first multinationals, before 1914.

Singer, a U.S. pioneer of the modern sewing machine, established its first foreign factory in Scotland in 1867.

Investments followed in manufacturing and marketing in other countries, especially Russia.

By 1914, Singer held a remarkable 90% share of all sewing machine sales outside the USA + was the seventh largest firm in the world.

Examines why sewing machines became one of world's first global products and the entrepreneurial and organizational factors behind Singer's international success.

Opium + Empire in the Nineteenth Century Geoffrey Jones
This case concerns the growth of multinational trading companies in the first global economy.

It examines two Scottish-owned merchant houses, Jardine Matheson + James Finlay.

It shows their changing trade and investment strategies + their use of an organizational form later known as business groups.

The case also demonstrates the role of ethnic networks in globalization in this historical period. Weetman Pearson and the Mexican Oil Industry (A) Geoffrey Jones
This case explores the role of the British entrepreneur Weetman Pearson in developing the Mexican oil industry before 1914.

The case shows this entrepreneur's evolution from a domestic British builder to an international contractor building tunnels, railroads + harbors worldwide, including the USA + Mexico.

In Mexico, where Pearson developed close relations with the dictator Porfirio Diaz, large oil concessions were awarded by the government.

00.000.1910 Pearson discovered one of the world's largest oil wells + this was used as a basis to build an integrated oil company, but

00.000.1918 -by- when the case ends - Pearson is considering whether to sell his investment in the face of growing political risk. Ivar Kreuger and the Swedish Match Empire

Geoffrey Jones
Globalization + corporate fraud are the central themes of this case on the international growth of Swedish Match in the interwar years.

00.000.1913-00.000.1932 Ivar Kreuger, known as the "Swedish Match King," built a small family-owned match business into a $600 million global match empire.

Despite the economic and political disruptions of the interwar period, Swedish Match owned manufacturing operations in 36 countries, had monopolies in 16 countries + controlled 40% of the world's match production.

Kreuger companies lent over $300 million dollars to governments in Europe, Latin America + Asia in exchange for national match monopolies.

00.000.1929 -by- Relying on international capital markets to finance acquisitions + monopoly deals, the stocks + bonds of Kreuger companies were the most widely held securities in the USA + in the world.

00.000.1932 -After Kreuger's suicide- forensic auditors discovered that Krueger had been operating a giant pyramid scheme.

Kreuger s accounts were ridden with fictitious assets, the truth hidden in a maze of over 400 subsidiary companies.

Swedish Match's deficits exceeded Sweden's national debt.

Man habe die Mitschnitte erst jetzt herausgegeben, so hieß es aus der Justizbehörde, um sicher sein zu können, dass alle klar identifizierbaren Anrufe in voller Länge zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. "Die Erfahrung hat uns gelehrt, dass es am besten ist, alle Informationen gleichzeitig herauszugeben", sagte eine Behördensprecherin. Bruchstückhafte und unausgegorene Informationen führten nur dazu, dass sich die Familien falsche Hoffnungen machten.

Dass die brisante Post dennoch ohne Vorwarnung an die Familien der Opfer verschickt wurde, habe an einem Missverständnis gelegen, ließ Bürgermeister Michael Bloomberg mitteilen.

Bush talked about several ways to provoke a confrontation, including a proposal to paint a U.S. surveillance plane in the colors of the United Nations in hopes of drawing fire, or assassinating Saddam.

27.Mar.2006 http:Other signs of economic ragnarok:
-- Iran is not the only Middle Eastern nation switching away from the dollar.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE look ready to make the jump to the euro.
27.Mar.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/-- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke (an expert in the causes of the Great Depression) has announced that the possibility of a future "disruptive correction" of the trade deficit "cannot be ruled out." When a Fed chairman says something like that, what he really means is " Watch out! "

The trade gap will bite us in the ass + the U.S. dollar -- which has been losing value slowly -- will soon plummet in value.

And since oil may no longer be denominated in dollars, that fill-up will hurt your wallet a lot more than it does at present, because we will have to pay in more valuable euros.

Higher trasportation costs means higher costs for...well, everything .
-- Isabel V. Sawhill and Alice M. Rivlin of the Brookings Institution announced darkly that "...the federal budget deficits pose grave risks - a category 6 fiscal storm - to the U.S. economy.

The current course is simply not sustainable.

Promises to the elderly, especially about medical care, cannot be kept unless taxes are raised to levels that are unprecedented or other activities of the government are slashed.

Postponing such action would be reckless and short-sighted.

Massive amounts of capital have flowed in from around the world, financing much of America's federal deficit, as well as its international (or current account) deficit.

While this inflow of foreign capital has kept investment in the American economy strong it means that Americans are accumulating obligations to service these debts + repay foreigners out of their future income.

As a result, the future income available to Americans will be lower than it would have been without the government deficits.

The right-wing spin-meisters are preparing Americans for this by pretending that Bush brought about this problem through an over-abundance of "compassion" - not through military misadventure + corruption.
-- The percentage of mortgage delinquencies keeps rising.

The same dummies who kept voting for Bush also thought that adjustable rate mortgages were just ever so nifty-neato.

Truth be told, one cannot easily feel sorry for people operating at that level of doltishness.
The end of the housing bubble may be even uglier than you ever imagined. Check out what
John R. Talbott, author of "Sell Now!", has to say:

The problem, he says, is that home prices are way overvalued - just as Internet stocks were during the 1990 s before that sky collapsed.

As evidence, he points to the growing discrepancy between Bay Area home prices and rents, an indicator commonly used by economists to determine a property's true value...
To buy these overvalued homes, he says, many s overextend themselves financially by borrowing more from banks. They end up paying an inordinately high percentage of their monthly income on mortgages.

In Los Angeles, he points out, the average new homeowners, usually a young couple, are spending 55 percent of their monthly income on a mortgage payment...
Banks are lending more, he says, because they are sticking to their old qualifying formula of computing the ratio of the loan applicant's salary to the mortgage payment.

They're doing this, he said, without adjusting for inflation.
"So the banks are using the same stupid formula. They convince these young couples to borrow a million-dollar note that they're never gonna get out from under..."

More: Because of the above factors, Talbott predicts a wave of loan defaults and foreclosures.

Bank presidents will be fired for making so many risky loans.

The new presidents, wanting to clean up the mess, will unload the properties at a loss, perhaps for 40 to 60 cents on the dollar.

This will flood the market and deflate home prices further.
And then, according to Talbott's prediction, the financial impact will, like an especially vicious virus, spread.

First, the real estate industry will falter. Then, industries tied to real estate - including banking, construction, home supply stores - will be hurt.
"And then you've got a real recession," he says, "that will wash across the middle of the country."

Some of you may be thinking: "That will be the time to buy! Low housing prices!" Yeah, but - in a depression, will you continue to have a job ?

Of course, one must ask how to reconcile the predictions of resurgent inflation, due to the printing of money to pay off our debtors, with the falling home prices that will occur once the current bubble bursts.
When that famous fan gets hit by a certain brown-n-smelly substance, rest assured that red-state idjits (the ones who keep voting for pork-lovin' Republicans) will continue to tell themselves that we got into this mess by taxing the rich and tossing too much money at welfare cheats and not praying to Jeebus often enough. Such people are beyond education.

27.Mar.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ Our worst covert op Which covert operation undertaken by members of the USA intelligence community did us the most harm in the long run?

That was the question posed a few days ago over on The Next Hurrah.

00.000.1953 -In my view- the ouster of democratically-minded Iranian leader Mossadegh should top the list.

Restoration of the Shah led to the Iranian revolution, which helped spread Islamic fanaticism.
One can take this point further. Many believe that the CIA aided the rise of Khomenei in the late 1970 s, once they understood that the Shah could not maintain power.

Our spooks considered an Islamic Republic preferable to the socialist alternative which had once seemed poised to take power in Iran after the Pahlavi dynasty fell.

A region-wide religious resurgence had the potential of helping to undermine the Soviet Union -- or so it was once felt.
Of course, the boldest voices will tell you that worst crimes committed by our spooks were the assassinations of the 1960 s.

latest Downing Street Memo proves -- again -- that despite public pronouncements, George W. Bush was always intent on war with Saddam Hussein, even if international arms inspectors scoured Iraq and determined the place to be clean and WMD-free.
The administration does not question this document. Yet Scotty McSpokesman refuses to budge from the previously-determined spin: McClellan noted previous U.N. resolutions had warned Saddam Hussein of serious consequences if he did not comply with U.N. mandates over weapons of mass destruction and its compliance with the inspection regime.
Saddam had been given numerous opportunities to do so but chose not to, McClellan stressed.

But Saddam did comply.

Inspectors had free run of Iraq. And the memo, along with plenty of other evidence, proves that compliance was never the issue;

Bush was determined to invade no matter what Saddam Hussein did.

Perhaps they are young enough or strong enough to continue thier lives uneffected, but I doubt it.

Have they no legal recourse?

It is incredible story to watch them lose their innocense + the black spot they will need to overcome for the rest of thier lives.
As well, as an American, I am deeply saddened by what has been done in my name; that this is what they have in mind when they say all possible is being done to guarantee my security.

I'm going to write to every news organization + talk show encouraging them to invite these three men, Michael Winterbottom, Mat Whitecross + possibly the actors to the US to discuss this film.

First on my list is Oprah Winfrey, she reaches more people than cable news or any news show for that matter.

I would encourage everyone to do the same. This story needs to be told. Sam | 03.23.06 - 3:40 am | #

They really do control through fear eh?

My fear of writing a response, for starters....

Perhaps that's why, hours after the 3/4 of this moving video through which I could get + tossing + crying throughout the night, when I come to reload the remainder, I find a mere six responses?

Are we to believe that we are the only 6 whom watched this...or are we the only brave 6, now 7, who dare to risk what we own, have, know + love to speak out?
I could care less that these are reinactments. Duh, Neocon, no one is doubting that..

The fact remains that IN AMERICA, faithful Muslims and good people, like "us" in all other ways, ARE being drug from their homes and interrogated relentlessly, only to return + resume their "regular" life if + when "lucky"...drug to other horrors if not so.

THAT is the documentary I expect from this man next, but in such a world of information vs. dissinformation all to keep a power crux, what will we ever really see? What will any of us ever really know?
Do I believe that this has the power to awaken many people? Absolutely.

Do I wish like heck that those working for informationclearinghouse.com would find a permanent space for this video? Absolutely.

Will Oprah for all the publicists, viewers, or money in all the world EVER air anything remotely close to this....HECK NO...but it is time to awaken others.

Most of us who watched this already knew....

What more should we each find in our hearts/souls to teach and do to stand up against this tyranny and these consistent atrocities committed in our name + honour?
My nation has died...And herein lies the proof.

A truly heartbreaking and touching film. A film that consolidates the fact that the US uses the excuse of terrorism to practice terror.
However one slight criticism of the film in my eyes was that not enough emphasis was given to the torture and agony that the prisoners probably encontered and continue to do so.
But overall a very moving piece of media.

I encourage every person reading this comment to tell their family, friends, colleagues etc to watch this movie to ensure that the illegal & amoral practices + polices carried out by the US army and government can be displayed clearly.
One has to remember that this film only focuses on three of the innocent prisoners that were wrongfully held.

One cannot ignore the fact that their continues to be over 400 innocent (until proven guilty) people that are being held in Guantanamo, that are most likely encountering the same, if not higher levels of anguish and torture.
Let’s do everything in our power to work for the release of the remaining prisoners as ‘Those who have the privilege to know, have a duty to act” Albert Einstein.

It is revolution time.

We can hold out until the next election, but everytime you hear how democrats are not selling themselves + the republicans are in "virtual dead heats" with the dim dems, then KNOW you are being prepared to have another "close election" decided by faulty machines.
If we do not get rid of bush + I disagree with anyone who says he should not be impeached, that we've had enough of this "back + forth, you got me, now I'm gonna get you," as stated by Murtha, then know they are wrong
I falsely supported clinton, because he talked a good game most of the time + because he wasn't a republican who wanted to turn back the clock.

Okay, I was wrong, but even still, I thought he should have been impeached for lying.

Even for the highly personal shit because he saw fit to lie to us instead of standing up for his + thereby our, right to privacy.
bush needs to go. chcney needs to go. rumsfeld needs to go. gonzalez needs to go back to the gay bars.

Four or five times I've tried watching the video, but it quits early on. I'll keep trying.

Reading the comments of those who HAVE seen it, gives me a sense of the devistating, deliberate 'mans-inhumanity-to-man' cruelty and horrors;

suffered at the hands of sick, degenerates;

these three & countless other faceless souls endured & are still.

Q: IS there a 'humane' penalty and Just punishment for such INjustices? Namely?

Q: Considering the abundence of [allegedly] closed U.S. military bases; all things considered; why hasn't U.S. interest long since been abandoned?

Am I alone in wondering what sort of quiet 'bargain' must exist that causes the Cuban govt. to continue to allow U.S. access to and/or ANY use of this specific 'U.S. military instillation' on their soil?

The techniques used are brutal and stupid.

I can't get over the idiocy of the cartoonish questions asked of these guys.

Who trained these 'interrogators' -with nothing but the same stupid cliches coming out of their ignorant mouths?

And we in America are supposed to feel safer with this Army of Clowns?

Is this what Guantanamo is all about?

What a waste of money and effort.

I don't think that if this is the best the US can come up with that the world's hyperpower will last for long...but then look at how they messed up in something as basic as Katrina.

No wonder they have to bomb impoverished people back into the stoneage.

While these screwball British fellows suffered, they clearly came away with nothing but contempt for their captors... so much for 'Shock and Awe'...

You would have thought the US authorities would have just killed their useless prisoners out of embarassment so that their incompetence wouldn't become public knowledge.

This is the way America gets its 'intelligence'?

Is this why Mr. Atta and company succeeded?

Just what is this movie here for?
Can anyone think of a good reason to release this film? I surely can.

This is one video that should be shown throughout our blinded and purposely misinformed nation. You will find nothing even remotely as informative as this film on the Controlled Media such as Fox News or Cable TV.
I watched it all the way through, not wanting to miss a second of these young men's terrible ordeal...from their young-men innocence about life, all the way through to their sad awakening to the horrors that abound in this world...horrors that could come upon any one of us when we least expect it.
I know that what we have been shown is only the tip of what those innocent young men endured. After two years of deprivation and torture and not even an apology or any form of restitution ! What recourse do they + others like them have ?
I am so ashamed of what my country is doing secretly + yet supposedly with my approval. Anyone that can still believe a word that emanates from the mouth of anyone connected to this Administration would have to be wearing blinders, or else be totally ignorant. It is past time to clean out the White House. I am including the Congress and Senate, as well. Most of them have been a party to probably the worst debacle in the history of our nation, bar none.
Democrats, get up on your hind legs and start acting like leaders before it is too late. A good example to follow is Senator Russ Weingold. We do not want more Republican Lites pretending to be Democrats.

Yeah, Rowan I caught that too.

The British intelligence is just as involved, they don't get a free pass.

The thing I've been thinking about todays is the release of the three christian peacemakers.

Interesting that the story pushed the massacres by US troops of the front pages .

I know it sounds far fetched but I honestly wouldn't put it past this administration to have had some of thier liberated Iraqi friends holding these guys.

After all, they were expendible peacenicks.

It's really sad that our government is so twisted that I'd even fathom the thought.

I've never been one to believe in all those far fetched conspiracy theories but I wouldn't put it past our current government.

I'm also left wondering about the fact that Canadians had special forces in Iraq.

I always suspected they were one of the countries that supported the US/British "coalition" but didn't want to be publicly named.

I think my suspicions have been confirmed. Sam | 03.24.06 - 2:03 am | #

Tom Detko, you're probably right, as I've a feeling it's a lot worse than the video showed in Gitmo.

As for the Farenhype, well I don't know, Michael Moore no doubt made some money.

The crunch is, us ordinary folks choose what to believe + given the fact that Bush/the rest, lied lied + better lied to get a war that's making the elite billions + we might die in the war but we won't get squat other than higher fuel prices which will be passed on thus eating at our pockets.

I think I'll believe that 11.Sep.2001 was an inside job (do your own research), to get the wars the elite wanted.

Gitmo is a shit hole and against every international law there is, so they got round that by calling them enemy combatants.

They Gitmo'ized Abu Grhaib because it wasn't tough enough + it wasn't a 5 star hotel, ask Lyndie.

As for Iraq, the middle east was the cradle of civilisation, most of the stars you see at night have Arabic names.

They had history in the middle east, though perhaps now no future, due to the DU that's been dumped on them by the ton + the Halliburton built military camps + last but not least, what the fuck's Koolaid.

Thank you Information Clearinghouse for making this available. It's a devastating docudrama that exposes the truth about the brutality of the American and British military. See the two-part article about the Tipton Three (the three men featured in this film) at the Observer from March 2004: https://observer.guardian.co.uk/u...1168937,00.html
Remember, this is a docudrama which means it's a reenactment of events as described by the Tipton Three.

If even 1/10 of what they say is true (and I suspect most of it is very accurate), this is a powerful indictment of the war crimes perpetrated by the Americans + British. CitizenKit | Homepage | 03.24.06 - 7:26 am | #

THANK YOU for providing those download links!

As an archivist, such links as these are a lifesaver - especially since my poor, hard-battered Linux browser crashes (the whole thing, not just one windowfull of tabs!) every time I mistakenly click onto one of those "gotta' see but no link just watch" pages, as convenient as they likely are for those of us who run the corporate product from Redmond.
Please, please DO continue to provide download-links (or a separate download page; that'd work GREAT!) for all these precious videos.

I burn these items to CDs + DVDs for passing on to trustworthy associates with less cybertech resource than I am blessed with. (Your hard-won Social Security paycheck dedux hard at work for America!)
We better be willing to learn a ton o' healing tech right quick.

This world had enuf trouble already, long before the global BushCo Corporate Crime Empire took over the US government.

Now we have major damage done to our psychosocial and sociospiritual infrastructire - and that is no joke.
Gee.

Too bad the Bilderbergers + other international bankers of this world weren't as careful with their credit + background checks on the Huge War Loans to these Huge War Criminals as our local lending centers are with us proles.

A little better exercise of discretion on the part of the Big Money Crowd would have saved the pleasures of Davos for generations more.

As 'tis, once the DU is in the water, that's that.

(It showed up in England nine hours after the Shock + Awe blitzkrieg wound down, by one account found in passing.)

Stupidly, criminally malicious to be sure, blowing up live nuclear power plans just outside Baghdad. (Remember Chernobyl? GOOGLE!)
Ditto for when the goodwill finally evaporates and worldwide pissoff takes hold. Mr. Putin still has lots of nukes, remember?
Pray for peace and take action accordingly.

Heaven bless the peacemakers and help us all.

We got Hell's Cowboy himself to chase down, corner, subdue, arrest + stuff into Slobodan Milosovic's old cell at the Hague.

Also every White House cabinet officer AFAIK.
So riddle me this: How many members of a Citizens Arrest Posse does it take to screw in a White House light bulb?
A: Exactly one + only if the light bulb in question is both burnt out *and* the only one in the Oval Office.

Otherwise, needless screwing around is simple dereliction of duty.

This video boggles the mind of every sensible person + it makes you think how civilized + humane are those bullies who are propagandizing all over to make this world safer!

We all need to spread the word out to every nook & corner of this planet if we want to stop this bloodshed of innocent people by those who proclaim to "make our country safer".

Don't just watch those horrible crimes commited by our government, we need to speak up + stand against those who are dehumanizing the human values. Saj | 03.24.06 - 10:36 pm | #

@Masher1
Theories:
1) It might be the work of CIA
2) Might be another childs play by zionists.
3) Or yeah it might just be true.
Facts:
1) G Bay still exists
2) CIA/MI5/Moussad is still master minding
3) and yeah it scares me, thinking what would I have done if I were one of the 'kings'.

For all those that don't believe this film is based on truth try reading some accounts of other prisoners held at Guantanamo.

They seem to be similar and even worse.

It's highly unlikely they they all made up similar stories.
Andrew I don't think it's fair to use the phrase "typical AMERICAN hypocrisy".

Lets face it everyone has bouts of hypocrisy.

Americans are constantly blamed by non-americans for "reaping what they sow" I suppose it's those same type of people that also like to blame UK citizens.

Many people justify violence against Americans + British by stating they deserve what they get for electing warmongers + a brutal foreign policy.

But what about those that oppose them + support a change in policy?

I understand the anger around the world but terrorism is indiscriminate intentional killing.

I don't believe in the Iraq war but I also don't believe in killing civilians for their political beliefs or to get back at governments.
I make an effort not to be hypocritical and fair and to see things from both sides of the fence.

One thing I've learned from living abroad for many years is we're all very much alike whether American, European, Israeli, Palestinian etc...

At times I really get fed up with people who like to demonize any one group -Americans, Muslims and any other group. Sam | 03.25.06 - 1:34 am | #

i just imagine what might have happened to hundreds of people who didnt have legal rights or families like these guys who were pushing for their release through legal means.

We like things in others what we don't have, no wonder in America cowboy movies are so much liked.

The idea of fair fight, is always had been alien to American culture, it is invention of their minds.

How can it not be, look at the foundations up which this country is built.

We Pakhtuns are slow to move but surely we will drive you out + we will ruin your dreams + we will know what honor is + it is not when you competeing your frari against a fiat.

I morally support the fight of the Afghan + Iraqi people against the occupation.

It is their right to be masters of their own destiny.

But I don't support any religion - whether Christianity or Muslim or Jew - whose god is nothing but a brutal blood-spilling imagination.

Such a beastly imaginary being does not deserve worship.

If 'your' (personal) religion is not one of peace with yourself + the world, then no matter who you are, you are worshipping a "false god". - Canada | 03.25.06 - 7:18 am | #

To all amerians-you been had by your government + by a little shitty country called Israel ,
what should worry you is that your troops doing the killings + the beatings + let's not forget lying + stealing are about to come home.

A lot of these kooks want to become policemen,but most end up on the streets-- baggers theives crooks.

If they killed women old men children--your in line folks.

The sad part is that the israelie military is training our young men as killers. the outcry + exposure in these beatings + killings has only made our troops--just kill-iers.

No prisoners-women children bullets in the head.
I suggest that all watchers of this video get to see the documentary called--Hidden War of desert storm. this turned me againist USa.
also--IFCH ought to link the movie called--Wolves in the Valley--you ain't seen the Ugly americans dark side yet!!! -Archers | 03.25.06 - 8:04 am |

Since you're on the subject of comparative religion, Canada, perhaps you can tell us which religions you think have such a god. - Rowan Berkeley | 03.25.06 - 8:05 am | #

It is the personal interpretation of the desires of their "God" by each human being.

Many people profess - what on the outside appears to be -'the same' religion + yet the execution of that belief in the real world is as different as night is from day between different adherents.
If one's personal interpretation of their religion requires the persecution or killing of another human being - whether it be George Bush's War God, or the Taliban's War God - then that persons religion + god are False Gods who only exist in their own imagination in order to justify the brutality and violence of their own mind + heart.
A "God" that cannot defend himself except through the violence of his adherents, is an evil figment of man's imagination + does not exist.

If "God" is Almighty, then let him fight his own battles without human hand. Canada | 03.25.06 - 8:40 am | #

It seems to be a western tendency - ultimately derived from the jewish bible - to separate the 'good' + 'bad' aspects of 'god' + treat them as antagonistic to one another.
Hindus for example don't do this.

They don't have any problem grasping that the same 'god' can be infinitely kind and infinitely cruel at the same time.
I think that because we are unable to do this, we like to pretend that 'our' god will show only his kind face to us + only his cruel face to our enemies.

Weil Reester seine Demonstration nicht von der neo-faschistischen British National Party vereinnahmt sehen will, arbeitet er eng mit der Polizei zusammen.

Was darunter wohl zu verstehen ist? Über die Meinungsfreiheit und ihre Ausübung wird auf der Insel zwar viel gestritten.

Unter Berufung auf die Sperrzone war die Polizei gegen eine junge Kriegsgegnerin strafrechtlich vorgegangen worden,

Hierzu gab es vor kurzem ein Feature bei Indy -Maxe 23.Feb.2006 15:16

Project Censored - Unterdrückte Nachrichten 2006
Seit rund 30 Jahren veröffentlicht das an der Sonoma State University in Kalifornien beheimatete Project Censored jedes Jahr eine Liste von ausgewählten Nachrichten,

die von den Mainstream-Medien trotz ihrer Relevanz unterdrückt oder ignoriert werden.

Die meisten Themen werden einzig von kleinen und eher alternativen Medienprojekten oder in der Bloggerszene aufgegriffen.
Ende letzter Woche erschien eine Liste mit 25 ausgewählten Nachrichten, die im Jahr 2005 untergingen.
Der deutsche Ableger "Initiative Nachrichtenaufklaerung" wird seine Liste am 14.Feb.2006 im Rahmen einer Pressekonferenz an der Universität Bonn der Öffentlichkeit vorstellen.

"Censored 2006" enthält ausserdem die Polemik eines eingeleiteten ethischen Gerichtsverfahrens - oder einer "professionellen Lynchjustiz", ( theoretisch natürlich!) - von Dan Rather, ein Mann, der bei CBS-televison verankert ist und seinem Team aus vier Journalisten.

Greg Palast beschreibt, wie sein Kollege sich der Regierungs-Propaganda seit VIETNAM bis IRAK, hingegeben hat.
Weiter beinhaltet sind Arbeiten von Dahr Jamail, der aus dem Irak über das dortige Alltagsleben und die ständige Gegenwart des Todes berichtet.

Jamail ist Journalist - durch den Zusatz unabhängig - vielleicht der einzige US- Journalist der in permanenter Gefahr lebt, weil er sich im Irak befindet, ohne in die Truppen der USA "eingebettet" zu sein.

In Los Angeles sind heute weitere Großdemonstrationen geplant. Gestern waren dort junge Latinos mit Fahnen und Protestschildern durch die Stadt gezogen.

An einer Schule kam es dabei zu Prügeleien zwischen schwarzen und hispanischen Jugendlichen.

Im US-Staat Georgia legten nach Angaben der Organisatoren bis zu 80.000 Latinos die Arbeit nieder, um gegen ein am Donnerstag vom Repräsentantenhaus in Atlanta beschlossenes Gesetz zu protestieren.

Falls der Senat zustimmt, werden in Georgia lebende Ausländer ohne gültigen Aufenthaltstitel künftig keinen Anspruch mehr auf staatliche Leistungen haben.

Zudem sollen sie bei Überweisungen in ihre Heimatstaaten eine Sondergebühr zahlen müssen.

Washington - Russische Agenten hätten demnach strategische Informationen von Quellen "innerhalb des amerikanischen Oberkommandos Mitte" erhalten, heißt es in einem gestern veröffentlichten Bericht des US-Verteidigungsministeriums.

Die Informationen über Truppenbewegungen + Angriffspläne seien dann vom russischen Botschafter in Bagdad an die damalige irakische Regierung weitergeleitet worden.

Dies sei in den ersten Kriegswochen Ende März und Anfang April 2003 geschehen.

Die amerikanische Seite beruft sich auf offizielle irakische Dokumente.

Die russischen Geheimdienste widersprachen dem Bericht.

"Wir halten es nicht für nötig, zu solchen Erfindungen einen Kommentar abzugeben", sagte Boris Labusow, der Sprecher des Außengeheimdienstes.

Gutachten für eine schrullige Frau
00.000.2004 Die Geschichte von Anna S. beginnt.

Weil die alte Dame ihr mehrere tausend Quadratmeter großes Grundstück offensichtlich verwahrlosen lässt, fühlen sich die Beamten des Amtes Pinneberg-Land auf den Plan gerufen.

Sie schalten das Amtsgericht Pinneberg ein. Die Richter lassen zwei Gutachten von der etwas schrulligen Frau erstellen.

Laut dem "Hamburger Abendblatt" bescheinigt das erste der Frau ein "gesundes Misstrauen", das zweite dagegen "paranoide Schizophrenie".

Anna S. wird unter rechtliche Betreuung gestellt, das Gericht stellt ihr die beiden Betreuer zur Seite - für die Richter fast schon Routine.
Denn bundesweit werden Jahr für Jahr immer mehr Menschen unter rechtliche Betreuung gestellt, viele davon sind Alzheimer-Patienten.

Nach einer Statistik des Bundesjustizministeriums hat sich die Zahl der zum ersten Mal unter Betreuung Gestellten

00.000.1994-00.000.2004 fast verdoppelt + lag in

00.000.2004 bei 218.254.

Einer völligen Entmündigung kommt eine solche Betreuung noch nicht gleich:

Die Vormundschaft wird vom Gericht nur auf den Lebensbereich angewandt, in dem sich der jeweils Betreute nicht mehr selbst helfen kann, beispielsweise in Finanzangelegenheiten.
Für Anna S. bedeutete das:

Ihre Betreuer kümmerten sich um ihre Schulden, die sich Zeitungsberichten zufolge auf 40.000 Euro belaufen haben sollen.

Nach Angaben ihres Anwalts hatte Anna S. viel Geld auf der Bank + sie besaß verschiedene Immobilien wie das Haus in Kummerfeld, das ihr besonders ans Herz gewachsen war.

Doch Annika L. und Rolf S. entschieden, ausgerechnet dieses Haus zu verkaufen - gegen den ausdrücklichen Willen ihrer Betreuten.

Käufer war die Gemeinde Kummerfeld - und damit indirekt die Behörde, die die rechtliche Betreuung für Anna S. vorschlagen hatte.

Die Kommune will das Grundstück nun komplett neu bebauen lassen.

Y The BuzzFlash Mailbag -- Uncensored and Unvarnished Truth from BuzzFlash Readers.

24.Mar.2006 Bush's blameless men; "since the Abu Ghraib horrors first shocked the world:

Bush has clung to the fiction that the abuse of prisoners was just the work of a few rotten apples, despite report after report after report demonstrating that it was organized and systematic + flowed from policies written by top officials in his administration." 3/25

Just this week, Eric Schmitt and Carolyn Marshall provided a bloodcurdling account in The New York Times of how a Special Operations unit converted an Iraqi military base into a torture chamber, even using prisoners as paintball targets, in their frenzy to counter a widely predicted insurgency for which Rumsfeld had refused to prepare.

In early 2004, an 18-year-old man suspected of selling cars to members of a terrorist network was arrested and beaten repeatedly.

Another man said he had been forced to strip, punched in the spine until he fainted, put in front of an air-conditioner while cold water was poured on him and kicked in the stomach until he vomited.

His crime? His father had worked for Saddam Hussein.

These accounts are tragically familiar.

The names and dates change, but the basic pattern is the same, including the fact that this bestiality produced little or no useful intelligence.

The Bush administration decided to go outside the law to deal with prisoners + soldiers carried out that policy.

Those who committed these atrocities deserve the punishment they are getting, but virtually all high-ranking soldiers have escaped unscathed.

And not a single policymaker has been called to account.

Colonel Thomas Pappas, the former intelligence chief at Abu Ghraib, testified at the dog handler's trial that the use of dogs had grown out of conversations he had had with military jailers from Guantánamo Bay led by Major General Geoffrey Miller, who had been sent to Iraq to instruct soldiers there in the interrogation techniques refined at Guantánamo under Rumsfeld's torture-is-legal policy.

Pappas said Miller had explained how to use the "Arab fear of dogs" to set up interrogations.

What of Miller?

He invoked his right against self-incrimination to avoid testifying + Time magazine reported this week that he was exonerated by an army whitewash. Apparently he was not responsible for the actions of soldiers operating under rules he put in place.

About the only high-ranking officer whose career has suffered over Abu Ghraib is Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, who was the commander in Iraq at the time. Sanchez should certainly take responsibility, but he was also a victim of administration blunders.

Sanchez was vaulted inappropriately from head of the 1st Armored Division to overall commander because Bush declared "mission accomplished": The war's over.

He was then denied the staff, soldiers and equipment he needed to deal with the insurgency that quickly broke out and produced thousands of prisoners.

Bush has refused to hold himself or any of his top political appointees accountable for those catastrophic errors.

Indeed, he has promoted many of them.

And this is not an isolated problem.

It's just one example, among many, of how this president's men run no risk of being blamed for anything that happens, not matter how egregious.

The contrast could not have been more stark, nor the message more clear.

On the day that a court-martial imposed justice on a 24-year-old U.S. Army sergeant for tormenting detainees at Abu Ghraib with his dog, President George W. Bush said once again that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, whose benighted policies and managerial incompetence led to the prisoner abuse scandal, was doing a "fine job" and should stay at his post.

We've seen this sorry pattern for nearly two years now, since the Abu Ghraib horrors first shocked the world:

Bush has clung to the fiction that the abuse of prisoners was just the work of a few rotten apples, despite report after report after report demonstrating that it was organized and systematic + flowed from policies written by top officials in his administration."

bail out the airlines who are being sued by 11.Sep.2001 families.

Maybe they think that frying Moussaoui + saving the airlines are more important than justifying the USAPATRIOT Act? Permalink
24.Mar.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/I was only in the car a few minutes, but I did catch a call in from a lawyer from South Carolina who made this terrific point.

In the Moussaoui sentencing case, where they'll decide if the government gets to execute him, the prosecution is asserting that, had Moussaoui alerted the authorities, the FBI would have been able to stop the 11.Sep.2001 attacks.
The caller’s point was that, if the prosecution's assertion is true, then the USAPATRIOT Act was not + is not, needed .

24.Mar.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/When I first began discussing "bulge-gate," many scoffed at the idea. Now, most people - even the Bush supporters I ocasionally meet - seem to accept it.

24.Mar.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/Bob Fertik brings to our attention a possible further indication that W is wired: While Bush listens to a reporter ask his question, Bush nods with mild contempt and mentally formulates his dismissive answer.
But then Karl Rove starts speaking into his earpiece (always kept in his right ear), which causes Bush to turn reflexively towards his right - a dead giveaway that he is wired!!!
Bush immediately realizes his mistake and quickly jerks his head back to face the reporter who asked the question - a move he has probably practiced hundreds of times.
But the jerk is so conspicuous on tape that Blogenlust calls it Tourette's. Blogenlust has

There's something odd about the Ignite Learning software company owned by Neil Bush, the presidential brother infamous for his role in the Silverado swindle.

Thanks to "No Child Left Behind," Ignite has received some very lucrative contracts to place their software in Florida and Texas.
1. The
San Francisco Chronicle reports that Ignite has received big contracts as part of the Katrina rebuilding effort.

This, at a time when homeless Katrina victims are being evicted from shelters.

There's no money for them, but plenty of bucks for the brother of the prez.

Feds Kill Check Point's Sourcefire Bid Author: ScuttleMonkey 140
Caffeinated Geek writes to tell us The Register is reporting that Check Point Software has removed their bid to buyout rival software company Sourcefire

following objections from the FBI + the Pentagon to the Treasury's Committee on Foreign Investments.

From the article: "Federal agency objections to the security software tie-up center on the implementation of Sourcefire's anti-intrusion software 'Snort' by the Bureau and Department of Defense, AP reports.

In private meetings between the panel and Check Point, FBI and Pentagon officials took exception to letting foreigners acquire the sensitive technology."

First Steps Toward Artificial Gravity Author: samzenpus 400
CompaniaHill writes "Have scientists been able to artificially generate a gravitational field? Researchers at the European Space Agency believe so.

"Small acceleration sensors placed at different locations close to the spinning superconductor, which has to be accelerated for the effect to be noticeable, recorded an acceleration field outside the superconductor that appears to be produced by gravitomagnetism.

This experiment is the gravitational analogue of Faraday's electromagnetic induction experiment in 1831."

The effect is very small, so don't expect to see it used in spacecraft any time soon. But the effect is still many times larger than the predictions of Einstein's theories.

"If confirmed, this would be a major breakthrough," says [Austrian researcher Martin] Tajmar.

"It opens up a new means of investigating general relativity and it consequences in the quantum world.""

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Während seiner ersten Amtszeit hat Präsident Bush seine Doktrin präsentiert, die es den USA erlaubt, im Notfall präventiv anzugreifen.

Warum haben die USA geglaubt, dass die Welt das akzeptieren würde?

Fukuyama: Wir glaubten, dass die Motive der Vereinigten Staaten besser sind als die von anderen Leuten und dass man uns diese Art von Macht anvertrauen kann.

Die Neokonservativen haben gedacht, dass Amerika moralischer sei als andere Länder + dass andere Leute verstehen, dass unsere Hegemonie so viel wohlwollender ist als die von vergangenen Imperien.

Das haben sie falsch eingeschätzt.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Der Irak-Krieg hat eine Welle des Anti-Amerikanismus in Europa ausgelöst. Ist das vielleicht der größte Schaden, den er angerichtet hat?

Fukuyama: Der Irak-Krieg hat natürlich eine ganze Menge Schaden in allen möglichen Bereichen angerichtet.

Es wird mindestens eine Generation dauern, um die vorherige Modellrolle Amerikas und den Respekt, den es genossen hat, in der Welt wieder herzustellen.

Wenn wir jetzt von Demokratie sprechen, denken die Leute doch nur an Abu Ghureib und Guantanamo.

Wissenschaftler um den Göttinger Humangenetiker Gerd Hasenfuß fanden ähnlich wandlungsfähige Zellen jetzt in den Hoden erwachsener Mäuse.

Sollten sich solche Zellen auch aus menschlichen Hoden isolieren lassen, könnten sie eine ethisch unbedenkliche Alternative zur Gewinnung von Stammzellen aus menschlichen Embryos werden,

schreiben die Forscher in ihrer Studie, die kommende Woche in der Online-Ausgabe der Fachzeitschrift "Nature" veröffentlicht werden soll.
