The Face Of The Occupation Just Got Uglier
Last night, CBS' 60 Minutes Two aired allegations—supported by numerous photographs and witnesses—that document numerous cases of torture and abuse of Iraqi prisoners inside Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
Amongst the photographs were pictures of prisoners with wires attached to their genitals, prisoners stacked in a pyramid, prisoners forced to simulate oral sex on others, and prisoners who appear to have been beaten to death.

Sadistische KZ-Spiele
Nicht nur amerikanische, sondern auch britische Soldaten haben auf brutale Weise irakische Gefangene gedemütigt: die Befreier als Sadisten
Dass ein Krieg die Beteiligten verroht, ist nicht schwer nachzuvollziehen. Wenn Menschenleben zum Abschuss beiderseits frei gegeben ist, fällt sein Preis gegen Null. Lieber schnell einmal sicherheitshalber geschossen, als selbst Opfer zu werden. Noch viel weniger wert ist die Würde des Menschen. Das haben im Irak beide Seiten gezeigt. Dass aber ausgerechnet die amerikanischen und britischen Befreier nun auch als Sadisten kenntlich werden, dürfte den sowieso bereits angerichteten Schaden in der Region noch weiter vertiefen.

Secret Service questions student on drawings
Secret Service agents questioned a high school student about anti-war drawings he did for an art class, one of which depicted President Bush's head on a stick.
Another pencil-and-ink drawing portrayed Bush as a devil launching a missile, with a caption reading "End the war -- on terrorism."

U.S. Military Computer Systems Used to Post Disinformation on AntiPolygraph.org
It appears that the polygraph countermeasure information provided on AntiPolygraph.org (see The Lie Behind the Lie Detector [1 mb PDF])so alarms some in the United States Government that they have taken to posting disinformation on the AntiPolygraph.org message board, which is uncensored. (Because of the unreliablity of lie detector "testing," which has no scientific basis and results in many truthful persons being falsely branded as liars, many truthful persons choose to use countermeasures to protect themselves against the risk of a false positive outcome.)

Denmark Declassifies Iraq WMD Reports
Today the Danish government - after political pressure - published a series of pre-war intelligence reports on Iraq and WMD. The reports have all been declassified over the weekend from confidential ("fortroligt") and secret ("hemmeligt") level.
The main source for Danish intelligence were their UK and US counterparts so a lot of the info now published is 'second hand goods'.
The reports are heavily excised. They're in Danish. I'll see if I can find the time to translate them.

Richtet den Blick auf Israels Atomwaffen
Nach 18 Jahren aus israelischer Haft entlassen, fordert der Whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu die Inspektion des israelischen Atomwaffenarsenal
Gestern ist der israelische Staatsbürger Mordechai Vanunu nach 18 Jahren unter Auflagen aus seiner israelischen Gefangenschaft mit harten Auflagen entlassen worden. 1986 beendete die britischen Sunday Times unter Verwendung von Vanunus Beschreibungen und heimlichen Fotos die Spekulation, ob Israel Atomwaffen habe ( In Freiheit, aber wie im Gefängnis). Experten kamen seitdem zu dem Schluss, dass Israel das sechstgrößte Atomwaffenpotential der Welt habe. Israel hat den Atomwaffensperrvertrag nie unterschrieben und verfolgt eine Strategie der nuklearen Verschleierung. Israel kann mit seinen Atomwaffen alle Länder erreichen, mit denen es schon einmal im Krieg war. Vanunus erste Aussage nach seiner Freilassung unter Auflagen war, nun den Blick auf Israels Atomwaffen zu richten. Ein Dossier zu Israels geheimem Atomwaffenarsenal.
