Dear Mr. Scheer:

I watch the news on TV, the internet, I read newspapers, magazines, etc..etc.. and not once I saw, heard or read a transcript of what Hussein said during his trial!!. We were all shown pictures of Hussein speaking, but no sound. No one had the gots to show him?? or was the media silenced by the Bush admin.???.  We had finally silenced probably, the only main witness to our crimes in that region, just like we did with Noriega in Panama (by Bush Sr.)
I am envigorating by your courage and patriotism, thank you for doing what you are doing.

I haven’t missed very many crimes committed by the OSS up to’47 and after ‘47, the CIA. Since ‘41 when the allies invaded Iran (nutral) in order to supply Russia by use of the Trans Iranian Railway, completed in ‘37. The lives lost through coup d’etat orgainized and financed by C.I.A. operatives are too endless to list. What puzzles me is the continued ignorance of the majority of U.S. Citizens.

In secret prisons hundreds of men are tortured despite no evidence of wrongdoing.
In Britain, a mentally deficient man has just been sentenced on terrorism charges for scribbling insane ravings in a scrapbook.

In Rumsfeld’s case there are the photographs, the documents, the money trail and the bodies.

What else do you need?

If ever there were a story that testifies to the utter failure of our fourth estate, it is this story. For years a few have known these facts, but they have never been presented to the American people through the mass of the mass media.

Bright lights do shine in the night.
Keep up the fight bright light.

On 9/11, I was in a Senate hearing in the Capitol (on a global warming bill sponsored by Sen Jeffords, that sort of makes you wonder a bit too, nothing’s happened on the Federal level since then). The building was evacuated and we spread out along Washington’s streets. Not wishing to go on the Metro, I decided to walk the eight miles, in my suit, over to my brother’s house in Virginia. People were very chatty, and I ended up walking with a uniformed Air Force captain across Memorial Bridge. As we walked, we both stopped and looked at the burning Pentagon. I turned to the captain and said “sure makes a mockery of Bush’s missile defense idea, doesnt it?”. He replied saying that we’re always fighting the last war and that no one in the armed services liked Rumsfeld. and this was before the “public” planning of the Iraq invasion. Rummy is an evil person, glad to see him gone, but we shouldn’t celebrate. As Robert points out, Gates has a dossier a mile long that isnt very pretty either. Thank goodness we at least have the possibility of subpoenas now.

Mr. Scheer I enjoyed this article very much,
almost as much as your article titled Amer-
ica aided Saddam when he had WEAPONS of MASS
DESTRUCTIONS, and INVADED when it didn’t. How-
ever you didn’t tell about the Reagan Admin-
istration taking Iraq off the TERRORIST list.

Please rewrite your previous article i believe
it would make interesting reading. The article
I’m talking about is: PLAYING FOOTSIE WITH THE
TALIBAN. I believe the readers would be inter-
ested to learn that Bush and Condoleezza Rice
thought it was more important to get rid of
the OPIUM in Afghanistan than Combatting TER-
RORISM so much so that they gave $1.5 MILLION
for Opium Crop Subsidy. WONDER WHO GOT THAT
MONEY?

Mr. Scheer,
The results of the election yesterday proves your point beyond a shadow of a doubt. The American people have spoken, and that scumbag in the White House had better listen. We’ll know in about 20 minutes what he will do. I predict that he will still have that silly grin on his face, but it will have to forced. Thanks for listening to my opinion.

“WE WERE WRONG TO GO TO THE WAR IN IRAQ, AND WE CANNOT WASH OUR HANDS OF THE HARM WE HAVE DONE IN DOING SO. WE NEED AN INQUIRY TO TELL US HOW HE LED US INTO THIS DISASTER, AND TO MAKE SURE THAT NO VAINGLORIOUS AND IGNORANT PRIME MINISTER CAN EVER DO THIS AGAIN”

Above are words spreading in the British Parliament not just aiming at King George but also at Tony “Bush’s Poodle” Blair who will leave Downing Street next year. We have to take off our hats to the members of British Parliament because they’re brave enough to speak up their minds.

It’s too bad that no one in our Congress had the guts, integrity and courage to stand up and say his/her condemnations.

Why should we vote for those cowards and let them sit on the top of our head then peeing down ! From now on, just remember “NEVER VOTE STUPID”.

Nobody is surprising that a lot of retired generals and the press wanted to behead Donald Rumsfeld. Why ? because the Secretary of Defense had manipulated the Pentagon into a war they think “militarily unwinnable” and our troops are surely be in jeopardy. At this point our retired brasses and press are absolutely right. Just October alone more than 100 U.S. troops have been killed in vague and without an explanation.
Why ? because the war plan was approved by ineffective secretary. Rumsfeld was bemoaning his own iffectiveness so that even the conservative Weekly Standard was calling for his resignation just the end of his first year on the job !

There’s really no career that should let him taking care of Department of Defense (DOD), because his active political and governmental career had been over for almost 3 decades. His statue and that of Cheney were only revived by King George’s restoration throne. He lacked everything to be a good leader, and for him this golden position is his last chance.

Command is to prepare in advance but he was described as crabby, sour, mean-spirited. He complaints about eveything and always dissatisfied, even with himself. To be correct he is “THE BREAKING-THE-ORGANIZATION-IN PIECES”
secretary.

Truth sometimes hurts but we have to ring the alarming bell that the longer he is on the top of the Pentagon and all the active brasses the more our troops will be sacrificed for nothing. But our King is still sleepy while the whole outside world is awake. We’ve feeling that our King is an alien from other planet so he’s deaf and dumb to all circumstances.

For an excellent article on the Hussein verdict, I suggest Mr. Scheer, of whom I am a great fan,go to <WSWS.org>

By the way, that site wrote a very good article when he was ousted by the “liberal” times. He can do a search on it.

Didn’t every American feel a little bit “Roman” when Bush announced that Saddam Hussein had been sentenced to death and his Republican crowd responded with thunderous applause and cheers?

Based on these past twelve years in America, I would recommend to every Kurd and Sunni in Iraq to run away as fast as possible from Bush’s democracy project in Iraq.  A permanent Shia majority sounds like a permanent Republican majority which sounds like tyranny of the majority and totalitarianism.

And the beat goes on...The insipid Amerikan public with no sense of history and a memory span that would not fill a thimble, continue moving blissfully along.
History and world affairs are not reality tv shows, ergo the masses (in this country) could care less about yesteryear. 
Perhaps if we presented history and world events as an oval learning course and slapped sponsor logos all over it ala NASCAR some of it might sink in, though, I doubt it.

How convenient that he’ll be executed before he goes on trial for the Anfall poison gas killings. That way, he can’t testify about the ingredients that Ronald Dumsfeld sold him…
