Iraq's Political Prisoners.
The following are excerpts from an Urgent Appeal addressed to Ban Ki Moon of the United Nations on behalf of the hundreds of Iraqi detainees in US custody. While the Americans claim that the number of Iraqi detainees in their camps is not more than 10'000 or so, maybe even less, the reality is far different... And I shall quote from the text which can be found here . dated 11th March 2010, written by WATA - World Association of Arab Translators and Linguists and published on the Brussels Tribunal Website. "... we would like to inform you that the USA occupying forces in Iraq have locked-up more than (162,000) hundred and sixty-two thousand Iraqi citizens in more than (50) prisons and detention camps including (28) camps run by US occupying forces, in addition to many undisclosed investigation and incarceration centers over Iraq. The number of detainees registered in International Red Cross records is around (71,000) Seventy-one thousand, the other detainees are not

My favorite:
I long for my mother's bread
And my mother's coffee
And my mother's touch...
My childhood grows within me
Day after day
I love my life because
If I died,
I would be embarrassed by my mother's tears
Mother, take me, if I return one day
As a scarf for your lashes
And cover my bones with grass
Baptized by the purity of your heels
Tie me up
With a lock of hair
With a thread from the tail of your dress
Perhaps I will become a god
A god I would become
If I touched the bottom of your heart
Put me, if I return
As firewood to light your wood oven
And a wash line on your house's roof
Because I've lost my strength to stand
Without your daily prayer
I've grown old... Return the stars of childhood
So I can share with the young birds
The way back
To the nest of your waiting

Love you.
In solidarity.
Because, of course, the Pigmy of the Black House NEVER invaded free and independent countries, NEVER overthrew legitimate and popular regimes, NEVER assassinated legitimate and beloved Presidents, NEVER massacred innocent peoples on their own fucking sovereign soils, NEVER EVER !
I wish Russia was still the superpower it once was, and could answer back: "Ok, I leave Ossetia, but only if you leave Iraq !"
But then what am I dreaming about, the monstruous reality is that every government in this stupid world only care about its damned interests and could not care a fuck about others.
Don't you see a contraddiction in being Muslim and secular at the same time?
The hypocricy coming from the US regarding Georgia & Russia is complete insanity; talking about Russia launching a military strike and invading a sovereign nation and that the use of force by Russia has been too one-sided and extreme.
Russia can use the same verbage as the US did in that Russia is protecting it's interests, national security and apparently it's "peace-keepers" were attacked and killed by an act carried out by Georgia.
I dont agree with Russia especially on some Chechyan matters but I smell the US behind this Ossetia deal. It seems the US has once again been halted and should be forced to realize it does not rule all the People of the World.
"OK, I leave Ossetia, but only if you leave Iraq ! "
Damm Right and if the US gets into a public verbal exchange on the Iraq & Ossetia matters, the US will certainly be exposed for its Herculean Hypocricy (even more).
The US government, etc...reminds me of alot of spoiled, rich, bratty kids that Never grew beyond the years of being toddlers.

will your caliphate be merciful to women ?
Besides I believe that God is secular...He said so himself.
He said "whichever you turn, you shall see My face."
Maybe He did not remember your caliphate story when He uttered his own words...
I don't know dearest, I have never been to paradise before...Do you think I need to dress up for the occasion ?
