What Do You Think About The American Lies About Omar Khadr Being Tried By The Military In The USA?
1. “Within seconds,” said Capt. Mike Silver, who walked into the compound behind Sgt. Speer, “we had him [Omar] pinpointed and we opened fire.” Shot three times in the chest, Khadr dropped the pistol he was carrying, and when Capt. Silver approached him, called out, “Shoot me. Please, just shoot me.” Although a sergeant who was present noted later that “every US soldier who walked by Omar longed to put a bullet in his head,” the unit’s medic insisted on patching him up. It was an act of kindness that has rarely been repeated in the five years and four months since.
FACT: He was shot twice in the back.
USA – Confirming its disregard for the rights of children, the administration proceeded, in November 2005, to designate Omar as one of ten Guantánamo detainees to be tried by Military Commission. Under this new process, dreamed up by Dick Cheney and his senior counsel David Addington in November 2001, the detainees could be tried –- and even sentenced to death –- using secret evidence that would never be revealed to either the detainees or their government-appointed defense lawyers.
FACT: Secret evidence means lying.
FINALLY:
Omar’s lawyers, Muneer Ahmad and Rick Wilson, who run the International Human Rights Law Clinic at American University, first visited him in October 2004, following a crucial ruling in the Supreme Court in June 2004, when, in a landmark case, Rasul v. Bush, the Justices ruled by 6 to 3 that the detainees had the right to challenge the legal limbo in which they had been held for nearly two and half years, demolishing, along the way, the administration’s long-cherished belief that Guantánamo did not count as US territory.
FACT: Anyone born in Guantanamo Bay, just like born in Panama would be considered American. If not they would be Cuban and subject to Cuba law.
CANADIAN LIARS: CSIS, the Canadian CIA imitator, interrogated Omar Khadr for four days. Omar Khadr was only 16 years old. The CSIS interrogator continually pressured Khadr to tell them where his mother and sibling were. They tried to convince the overwhelmed Khadr that Canada was trying to protect the Khadr family and bring them back to Canada for 'rehabilitation' of some sort. Khadr was advised that if Khadr didn't cooperated his family could face torture.
KILL LEGALLY: Lt.C. Ralph Peters on Omar Khadr Gitmo Tape: "We should have killed that punk on a battlefield where it was legal to do so!" Actually it would not have been legal to do so because you're not allowed to kill wounded soldiers. There is video of Americans doing just that and this is positive evidence of War Crime that is expected from all American soldiers and mercenaries. Mercenaries are illegal combatants.
Why do Americans get so pissed off when their soldiers get killed in war? Perhaps they should quit starting war.
GRENADE: Lt.C. Ralph Peters on Omar Khadr Gitmo Tape: "We should have killed that punk on a battlefield where it was legal to do so!" Actually it would not have been legal to do so because you're not allowed to kill wounded soldiers. There is video of Americans doing just that and this is positive evidence of War Crime that is expected from all American soldiers and mercenaries. Mercenaries are illegal combatants.
FACT: Khadr was shot IN THE BACK previous to the throwing of the grenade that killed the American commando. Probably thrown by an American. They're always killing people 'accidentally'.
CANADIAN LIAR: Yet, after 7 plus years Prime Minister Harper, after two court decisions to repatriate Khadr, has refused to budge and now wants to refer the case to the Supreme Court of Canada. Is our Prime Minister an American puppet?
FACT: Khadr was a child and should have been immediately taken back to Canada.
FINNISH: Amir Attaran, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, called the tribunal a "kangaroo court". And this is so true. The lawyers fit in well as kangaroos not knowing what has really happened and are playing out this game for their own sakes and not with any sense of justice. Omar Khadr, a child who has grown to adulthood in the extremely vexing nature of an American captive hidden away on a part of Cuba and subjected to vile tortures and never allowed to speak with anyone he knows. There is an extreme injustice here and not only by the Americans but by Canadians that won't look at the details and defend one of their own. Let it also be known that Omar Khadr was a child soldier and in our western world there has been no prosecution of a child soldier since the 18th century.
The question becomes, Mr Wolf, whether or not Americans follow the law or that you believe that Americans are above the law.
Since you have agreed that America holds no value for the law than the question becomes moot.
I see why Mr Wolfe is blocked. He's blocked everyone else. What an a**!

Lincoln’s ‘rare eloquences’ on display in bicentennial exhibit
The Library of Congress marks 200 years since the birth of Abraham Lincoln on Thursday by opening a special exhibit featuring his handwritten speeches and artifacts, including the Bible used last month by President Obama during his swearing-in.
"This exhibit, in a little more than 200 items, presents Lincoln, the man and the politician," said John Sellers, curator of the exhibit that runs through May 9.
"The thing that you will see most of is that he had a hatred of inequality," Sellers said during a preview for the media on Monday.

Australia Wildfires Survivor | An explosion, a scream, then silence
An explosion, a scream, then silence
For 25 agonizing minutes, journalist Norm Beaman did not know whether his wife had perished in wild fires sweeping southern Australia, after he lost mobile phone contact following an explosion and a scream.
Beaman, a veteran reporter for Channel 7 news, was racing home to his property on Mount Disappointment, north of Melbourne, talking to his wife Annie as she tried to defend their home from the fires that have left dozens dead.
"She was being stoic, putting up a fight, but when the hay and machinery shed next to our house exploded, she frantically screamed: ‘I’m jumping in the dam,’ and that was the last I heard of her for 25 minutes," he told CNN.

Stores Lead Thrift | New lead rules may be toxic to thrift stores
New lead rules may be toxic to thrift stores
As Marilyn Seitz helps customers find just the right size, she wonders how much longer before she’s forced to close her doors.
The Pennyworth Thrift Store in Silver Spring, Maryland, isn’t suffering from the struggling economy. Secondhand stores across the country are more in demand than ever as many people are desperate to save money. Instead, Seitz is worried her business may become an unintended casualty of an attempt to protect children.
After a wave of highly publicized tainted-toy recalls last year, Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. Then-President George Bush signed the bill in August, and new federal restrictions on lead and other harmful substances take effect Tuesday.

Unknown Goblet Found At Thrift Store?
I found a very interesting goblet at a thrift store and was wondering if anyone could give me any insight as to the decoration. The goblet itself is in poor shape, but there was something about the scene that interested me. It has two houses (one on each side), surrounded by some kind of trees (hawaiin? oriental?) It was a presentation to a "Mrs. Nilsen" which leads me to believe the scene could be from a place such as Holland or Sweden? Would sure love to know anything about it. Any ideas?

Bank Silver State Failure | Small bank’s meteoric rise eclipsed by collapse
Small bank’s meteoric rise eclipsed by collapse
Sitting back in his leather chair, working as a consultant for a small Las Vegas bank, Tod Little is sure of one thing: Practically anyone, he says, could have made money as a banker in the go-go days of real estate in Nevada. Go-go days that lasted until the fall of 2008.
"It didn’t take a rocket scientist to run a bank in this town for the past 10 years," Little told CNN.
CNN’s Special Investigations Unit and the online investigative journalism organization ProPublica.org got a brief look inside the collapse of a regional bank. What the two organizations learned was both old and new: bankers giving themselves large salaries and generous bonuses, at the same time they are lending millions of dollars on what, according to one lawsuit, were essentially parcels of bare dirt with little potential of big income.

 Bad News For (real Estate) |
Did John McCain Tell His Son Andrew To Resign From Silver State Bank?
What did John McCain know and when did he know it? The fact that McCain's son is involved in a major bank failure should come as no surprise to those who know John McCain history. John McCain had a major role in one the last multi-billion dollar real estate and bank frauds called the "Savings and Loan Scandal." Republicans, it seems, can't get enough of waste, fraud, and failure. That's what you're voting for when you vote for them.
Nevada regulators closed Silver State and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed receiver of the bank, based in Henderson, Nev. It had $2 billion in assets and $1.7 billion in deposits as of June 30.
Andrew K. McCain, a son of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, sat on the boards of Silver State Bank and of its parent, Silver State Bancorp, starting in February but resigned in July citing "personal reasons," corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show. Andrew McCain also was a member of the bank's audit committee, responsible for oversight of the company's accounting.
The younger McCain, who is the chief financial officer of Hensley & Co., the beer distributorship of which Cindy McCain is chairwoman, is the Arizona senator's adopted son from his first marriage.
Andrew McCain's position on the Silver State board and departure were first reported Friday by The Wall Street Journal online.
Attempts to compare lobbying activities to multi-billion real estate and bank fraud seems more thn stretch, don't you think? And you haven't answered the question: did John McCain tell his son to resign? what did Andrew and John McCain know ahead of time?
And you are going to vote for McCain and you don't to answer these questions, then answer this one: Why do you love crime, corruption, and fraud so much? Do you really hate Americans that much?
