"Since "9/11" China has claimed that it's crackdown on the rights of it's Uygur ethnic minority in Xinjiang was needed to combat organised Uygur terrorist groups and in doing so aid the "War on Terrorism". Some recent events, a slight administrative slip up and a little old fashioned media tampering might just bring the whole charade undone and expose their policies for what they really are."

"We as Americans and people in general no matter where they hail from have been lied to our entire lives."

"Given all these errors and their very suspect motives, why are Wolfowitz and his pals still on Uncle Sam’s payroll? Where did an Assistant Secretary of Defense get the resources to buy such huge quantities of Teflon from Rupert Murdoch and CNN? Did the neo-cons on the mass media side of the wafer thin political divide provide fellow travelers like Wolfie with free Teflon on demand?"

"Recent court decisions regarding the Administration's detainees, however, may have the most pronounced impact on the policy debate by sharpening the contradiction between Democrats and Republicans during the coming year."

"...Sharon's approach has not changed at all: he did not present a realistic strategy for peace. First he "hijacked" the fence and distorted it from a legitimate means of self-defense into a political tactic for creating a Palestinian bantustan. Now he has hijacked the idea of disengagement and dismantling of settlements- -which was originally intended by the left to rescue Israel demographically but without in any way prejudicing future negotiations concerning East Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley--and seeks to reconstitute it as a rationale for fencing in the Palestinians and grabbing the rest of the West Bank. Like previous grand designs of Sharon, this one too will backfire."

"...it is probably no coincidence that negotiations to end Libyan unconventional weapons programs accelerated only after the United States agreed to allow the United Nations to end economic sanctions against Libya. Qaddafi most likely wanted to see some gains from his years of efforts to reconcile with the West before he made any more concessions."

"One of the most ironic aspects of Sharon's speech, and one that can only be explained as an attempt to boost public relations, is his justification of these threats of unilateral action by an alleged lack of roadmap implementation on the part of the Palestinian Authority."

"The word "Islam" has been turned into a synonym of "terrorism." Take the Pakistani nuclear bomb and the media - the media's huge coverage didn't spare a tag on the bomb that reads: "Islamic Bomb". But what about the more sophisticated one, built in Israel? Did they call it "Jewish Bomb"?"
