From Eva Bartlett at ingaza blog today What the medics see, do, and are subjected to; uncensored

I start in Jabaliya, in northern Gaza at the eastern border, where I meet an amiable team of professionals. After delivering a pregnant woman to hospital, our first serious call is to retrieve the bodies of two killed resistance fighters, hit by shells. The sight of the one in our ambulance is ugly, his face has exploded. The knowledge of his life and death is uglier: he was born into a life of occupation, and he has chosen to resist, as one would when being invaded. The ugliest aspect lies in the knowledge that he was undoubtedly a father, a husband, a man who probably has a mixture of photos on his phone: beautiful women, cute children, cats, a fighter with a gun, pictures of his family, random lovely scenes of nature, and the slapstick video clips that seem to be common among those with high tech-cell phones. He was a regular guy, of this I’m sure, thrust into an unbearable, deadly role. His silver lining is that at least he doesn’t have to live in hell on earth any longer.



There are more photographs , including the bombed roads to prevent traffic movement.

UPDATE : 0700 GMT Scotsman has a story Beyond hell: Eyewitness tells of fear and panic in Gaza With information from colleague of Eva Bartlett - Ewa Jasiewicz, a British human rights activist accompanying the ambulances as an independent witness, who uses the term "beyond hell".

No wonder the Zionists don't want the international press sniffing around - upsetting everybody.

Basra. WTF?

Now that UK troop withdrawals from Basra have been suspended (BBC) it may help to make sense of what is happening in Basra, and why - this series of articles is an excellent starting point. Dick Cheney, (67, 4 heart attacks wears a pacer, has gammy leg) is home from a 10-day tour that ranged from Iraq and Afghanistan to Turkey and Saudi Arabia - his first visit to Istanbul wher he took some time to visit the stunning Topkapi Palace and to read Rick Atkinson's The Day of Battle, about the U.S. Army's campaign to capture Sicily and mainland Italy during World War II.

Cheney’s “peace” trip to Middle East prepares new wars[21 March 2008]

Martha Raddatz of ABC News asks Cheney , “It doesn’t bother you that some of the troops themselves want to get out of there?” To which Cheney replied, “They’re a broad cross section of America. I think they’ve overwhelmingly supported the mission. Every single one of them is a volunteer.”

He told the service men in an address at Balad airbase in Iraq...."“This long-term struggle became urgent on the morning of September 11th, 2001. That day we saw clearly that dangers can gather far from our own shores and find us right there at home. So the United States made a decision: To hunt down the evil of terrorism and kill it where it grows, to hold the supporters of terror to account, and to confront regimes that harbor terrorists and threaten the peace."

......and we were all told it was because that pesky dictator Saddam had WMD's ... now exactly where was Veep Cheney that morning on September 11th 2001 ?****

On May 8, 2001 - four months prior to 9/11 - the president placed Dick Cheney in charge of "All federal programs dealing with weapons of mass destruction consequence management within the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Justice, and Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other federal agencies…" This included all "training and planning" which needed to be "seamlessly integrated, harmonious and comprehensive" in order to "maximize effectiveness." This mandate created the Office of National Preparedness in FEMA, overseen by Dick Cheney.

Dick Cheney was placed directly in charge of managing the seamless integration of all training exercises throughout the entire federal government and all military agencies. On 9/11 Cheney oversaw multiple war games and terror drills, including several exercises of NORAD, the Air Force agency whose mandate is to "watch the sky."

"Dodgy Dossier" lies must be published says the Information Tribunal ... Chris Ames and the lies of Captain Scarlett, Alastair Campbell , Tony Blair

Today by the government argued that releasing an early ( and so far secret) draft of the controversial dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) prepared by the then-Foreign Office press secretary, John Williams on 7 and 8 September 2002 would not be in the public interest.

It preceded what the government would later claim to be the first draft, written by Joint Intelligence Committee chairman John Scarlett on 10 September, his chum Alastair Campbell, another serial and serious liar, also denied outright that there was such a document.

The Information Tribunal has today ordered the Foreign Office to disclose the document which can then be compared with liar John Scarlett's 10th December draft.

This ruling upholds the decision by Information Commissioner Richard Thomas last May , that the Williams draft "might be capable of adding to the public's understanding of the issues in question".

The "dodgy" dossier was finally published on 24 September 2002, two weeks after Scarlett’s “first draft”, and was central and critical to the lies, deceit and dishonesty that characterised the Government's case made to Parliament t illegally invade Iraq ... which had been decided by Presdient Bush and Tony Balir in April 2002 when they met in Texas.

The inquiry by Lord Hutton - which largely cleared the Government - was not handed the draft or address the questions which it might raise, according to the Tribunal.

The ruling - which follows an initial Freedom of Information (FOI) request from dogged campaigner Chris Ames in February 2005 (subsequent to a refusal from (then) Foreign Secretary Jack Straw to produce it) - states that there should only be a "very small redaction in the manuscript annotation - a handwritten note to be redacted which the Foreign Office claimed would be damaging to international relations." before it is disclosed - a claim that it did not make at the time of its initial refusal. The information is "not central to the purpose or content", the Tribunal states.

The Tribunal is also very critical and scathing about inconsistencies in the government’s evidence. They repeatedly observe that the main Foreign Office witness, Stephen Pattison, its Director, International Security, “was not involved at the time and volunteered no information about the source of his information”. It states that “it is a matter of concern that the information given to the Information Commissioner on the very nature of the information in dispute was apparently different to the evidence given to us.” (Which is effectively calling him a liar)

These comments relate directly to the role of the Williams draft in the production of the dossier. The FCO had told the Commissioner that Scarlett commissioned Williams to write the draft but subsequently changed its story. (Which is effectively calling them liars)


The tribunal refers to Pattison’s “assertion” that the draft was “not used in the dossier drafting process.” It commented that he was “apparently unable to identify any source for the assertion quoted above among either those who were so involved or from any contemporaneous document.” (Which is effectively calling him a liar)

MP John Baron , Conservative, Billericay (Defence Minister Bob Ainsworth last week said his information about lack of equipment in Afghan was "Absolute Bollocks") said: "This decision lifts the lid on government efforts to cover-up the role played by spin doctors in producing the Iraq Dossier.

"I am now pressing the Foreign Secretary immediately to make public the Williams draft, so that we can assess for ourselves the significance of this document in the run up to war – a war which we should never had been party to.

"The Tribunal agrees that the Williams draft could have played a greater part in influencing the drafting of the dossier than the Government has so far admitted - even to the Hutton Inquiry. The Government cannot hide this document any longer."

The Government can (and probably will) appeal to the House of Lords.

Tony Blair - War criminal, the evidence - Amazing Pictures

We don't steal pictures often but this comes from here and would make a good T shirt to travel on a plane journey to Tel Aviv.

By the way, did you know that Ruth Turner who sold the honours, worked ..er.. hand in glove with the King of Karaoke, did the paperwork, stalled Commander Yates, told lies, is now Tony's ..er... personal assistant ? News reaches Lord Patel that she is very personal with her assistance.

Leading Shia's at Saddam Lynching

The Italian Daily paper Corriere claims on the basis of Arabian press reports that Moqtada al Sadr was present at the lynching of Saddam.

"The two Saudi daily papers "al-Riadh" and "al-Watan" cite eyewitnesses. "I have seen al-Sadr to wear knitted caps black ski caps inside the room - the witness explained - also present it is claimed was Abdulaziz al-Hakim"

al Hakim (seen in picture welcoming war criminal George Bush) is the leader of the Iranian backed Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) and was leader of the Badr organisation. He is the brother of Brother of the Shia leader Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, who was killed in Najaf in August 2003. Seven of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim brothers have been killed, six of them on the orders of Saddam Hussein.

al Hakim figures a great deal in Paul Bremer's "My Year in Iraq" (see Index) and he met Ex Secretary and war criminal Donald Rumsfeld ...Page 245.

PS. Reports, copied here about the lynching of Saddam's half brother and a judge were incorrect and premature - Louise Arbor has called for a delay as has the UN Secretary General.

Rock Steady Crew get boost and war criminal tells Truth for once

The Iraq Study Group have had their numbers re-inforced after the departure of ex CIA Director Bob Gates, by another geriatric. 76 year old Lawrence Eeagleburger (whose 3 sons are also called Lawrence Eagleburger), the dumb ,ox like underling of Baker when he was Secretary of State under Bush Senr. has been revived from his bovine torpor, no doubt had large sums of dollar bills pressed into his wrinkled mitt, and will add his ponderous wait to their proceedings and collective unwisdom.

As the bells are silenced and the rejoicing crowds disperse after this happy news one is left to ponder the wise words and observation observation reported in the Torygraph today of the venerable (and in some quarters venerated) war criminal Henry Kissinger who over the weekend said on BBC1's Sunday AM ...

"If you mean by 'military victory' an Iraqi government whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, I don't believe that is possible."

Nice one 'enry. I hope this is engraved on your tomb. Soon.

There will be a few of us who forget that it is the desert booted and suited, clean cut, Mr Bremer (call me "Larry") ex Managing Director of Kissinger Associates who of course so carefully laid the plans for the current disaster, destruction of the Army, de-Baatification, looting, incredible Allied corruption etc etc.,
