Iran Threatens to Kill Americans if Generals Slain - Middle East Top commanders in Iran's Revolutionary Guards threatened Tuesday to kill "dozens" of US citizens should Washington kill any of its members. "You also should not forget that American commanders have plenty of presence and travel in the region. If you kill any of us, we will kill dozens of you," Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, chief of the Guard's aerospace division, told Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency on Tuesday. Earlier last week several American neoconservatives, including retired U.S. The threats coming from the Revolutionary Guards are widely seen as the latest expression of Tehran's mounting unease in the wake of two members of its Quds force being indicted in court for allegedly seeking to assassinate rival Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the US. Iran's nervously aggressive rhetoric has reached a crescendo amid public discussion of potential strikes on their nuclear program in Israel and Britain, respectively.

War Powers Showdown Pages: 1 2 Things are heating up over Libya and I do not mean just NATO’s sustained aerial bombing campaign. President Obama is facing a challenge in Congress and in court over his failure to seek congressional authorization for U.S. military involvement in the Libyan war in accordance with the United States Constitution and the War Powers Resolution. And while the Obama administration seems to think that all it needs to do is to act within the authority granted by the United Nations Security Council, tempers are beginning to fray at the Security Council, too, as the war drags on. House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) sent a letter to President Obama on June 14th warning the White House that its continued deployment of U.S. military troops in the North African country appeared to violate the law requiring any U.S. president, within 60 days of his the launching of a military engagement, to secure congressional authority for doing so. Meanwhile, ten congressmen, led by Reps.

Boycott The New York Times - Stop the bias and journalistic abuses DRUDGE REPORT 2013® Welcome to 911essentials.com Israeli Massacres Although the Image that Israel distributes about herself is that of an oppressed nation, it is with heavy hearts that we present these crimes that stand for themselves for the brutality of the Israeli Army and the heartlessness of its soldiers who seem to have a thirst for blood. It is for the hope that the world may see a clearer picture that we present these painful facts. It is interesting to notice that today's media does not dwell on these crimes as they do on the Holocaust. The King David Hotel explosion of July 22, 1946 (Palestine), which resulted in the deaths of 92 Britons, Arabs and Jews, and in the wounding of 58, was not just an act of “Jewish extremists,” but a premeditated massacre conducted by the Irgun in agreement with the highest Jewish political authorities in Palestine-- the Jewish Agency and its head David-Ben-Gurion. The Irgun had conceived a plan for the King David attack early in 1946, but the green light was given only on July first. Back to top Hawasa. inside.

Accuracy In Media Hillsdale College - Home New Music Video Keeps Holocaust Memories Alive - Music Three quarters of a century has passed since the German invasion of Poland began World War II. As time progresses, the number of people who can recount their personal experiences during the Holocaust grows smaller and smaller, while the number of people who deny the Holocaust continues to increase. Much of today’s youth, raised in the age of technology such as Facebook, Twitter and smart phones, has little patience for large volumes of history, yet the memories of those six million Jews who perished at the hands of Nazi murderers during World War II must be kept alive. Having recognized the challenge of keeping the Holocaust alive in today’s day and age, composer, writer and producer Cecelia Margulies has teamed up with producer and director Danny Finkelman and created "Rainbow in the Night," a new music video which brings the Holocaust to life.

Bangsa Malaysia The policy's support in the government appears to be variable, however. Abdul Ghani Othman, the Menteri Besar of Johor, alleged that Bangsa Malaysia was a "nebulous concept" which overstepped the bounds of the Constitution. "Even if the term Bangsa Malaysia is to be used, it must only be applied in the context of all the peoples of Malaysia with the Malays as the pivotal race," he said.[2] However, Lim Keng Yaik, a Minister in the federal government, insisted that Bangsa Malaysia was an official government policy.[3] Other Ministers also criticised Ghani's statement; one said that the policy "has nothing to do with one race given a pivotal role over others", while another said that "It does not impinge on the rights of Bumiputeras or other communities." Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak argued that attempting to define the policy from a political viewpoint was pointless, as it had no official standing in the Constitution, and called for the debate to cease.

Welcome to Post-Legal America by Tom Engelhardt Is the Libyan war legal? Was bin Laden’s killing legal? Is it legal for the president of the United States to target an American citizen for assassination? Now, you couldn’t call me a legal scholar. My answer is this: they are irrelevant. It’s easy enough to explain what I mean. if, in a country theoretically organized under the rule of law, wrongdoers are never brought to justice and nobody is held accountable for possibly serious crimes, then you don’t have to be a constitutional law professor to know that its citizens actually exist in a post-legal state. Pretzeled Definitions of Torture Of course, when it came to a range of potential Bush-era crimes—the use of torture, the running of offshore “black sites,” the extraordinary rendition of terrorist suspects to lands where they would be tortured, illegal domestic spying and wiretapping, and the launching of wars of aggression—it’s hardly news that no one of the slightest significance has ever been brought to justice. In the U.S.
