When this article appears on the morning of March 31, the much ballyhooed “International Donors Conference Towards a New Future for Haiti” will be getting underway at UN Headquarters in Manhattan. While demonstrators in the street outside protest the continuing US and UN military occupation of Haiti, now over six years old, and the Haitian people’s exclusion from deliberations on the country’s reconstruction, dignitaries inside like UN Special Envoy to Haiti Bill Clinton, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and Haitian President René Préval will unveil a plan with lots of pomp and ceremony but which boils down to just one thing: Washington’s take-over of the “new” Haiti. Hyperbole?

Calls for inquiry into Apache attack on Iraqi civilians - Telegr
In one sequence two children can be seen at the window of a van that was later attacked. An American patrol that arrived in the aftermath of the attack is seen carrying the injured children to an Iraqi police checkpoint after permission was refused to airlift the children to an American military base. The pilots were unapologetic: "Well, it's their fault for bring their kids into a battle," said one. "Too right," said a colleague. The video was obtained by the website Wikileaks which has been investigated by the Pentagon for endangering national security. The organisation has secured the assistance of Icelandic television after the island state vowed to protect people involved in leaking official information.Answer: There are many explanations: * One explanation is that the word kike originates from the word "keikl", in Yiddish, which means "circle". At Ellis Island, one of the main immigration checkin points, immigrants were intially grouped by religion and language in order to make it easier for them to communicate with each other and also to be identified more quickly by waiting relatives there to meet them. Christians were marked off with an 'X' which was likely really supposed to be a cross; Jews were marked with a circle which was really likely supposed to be the Star of David.
Question 19.13: What is the origin of the word "kike"?
Israeli Unveils Tank-Defense System of the Future
HAIFA, Israel – On a dusty, wind-swept field overlooking the Mediterranean, a small team of researchers is putting the final touches on what Israel says is a major game changer in tank defense: a miniature anti-missile system that detects incoming projectiles and shoots them down before they reach the armored vehicles. If successful, the "Trophy" system could radically alter the balance of power if the country goes to war again against Hezbollah guerrillas in neighboring Lebanon or Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. Its performance could also have much wider implications as American troops and their Western allies battle insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I think people will be watching the Israelis roll this thing out and see if they can get the hang of it," said John Pike, director of the military information Web site GlobalSecurity.org in Alexandria, Virginia. "The future of the United States army is riding on the proposition that something like this can work."
Seven Jewish Americans Control Most US Media
From southern France, Christopher Jones summarizes and comments on a report on the assassination of President Kennedy. Need I stress that WAIS censors only direct attacks on other WAISers and grossly improper laguage. Christopher says: "I glanced at the Kennedy assassination site and found this; it fits into our discussion of Hollywood stereotypes and the slavish behavior of the US press after the 9/11 tragedy and in the run up to the invasion of Iraq. In a quick rundown, the website recapitulates an old story that I heard back in the late sixties and early seventies in California: that Kennedy was liquidated by the mafia whose kingpin was Meyer Lansky (pal of Lucky Luciano). In fact, I could add a small tidbit which the author may or may not have covered: that Marilyn Monroe was murdered by the mafia as a warning to her lovers; Bobby and Jack Kennedy.

WikiLeaks VIDEO Exposes 2007 'Collateral Murder' In Iraq
A British secret agent planted at the heart of al-Qaeda was responsible for foiling the plot to blow up an American airliner, according to officials in the United States. The mole, who is understood to have been recruited by MI5, was born in Saudi Arabia but grew up in Europe before obtaining a British passport. The dramatic new version of the underpants bomb plot emerged last night as Leon Panetta, the US Defence Secretary, announced that an investigation had begun to uncover how so many operational details of the secret mission in Yemen were leaked. James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, is to lead the inquiry, Mr Panetta said. The involvement of British intelligence had been hinted at by a senior Yemeni security official who told The Times on Tuesday that Britain had helped to foil the plot.
