Al-Jazeerah, July 3, 2006

I think the most striking conclusion of last week's Supreme Court decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld is that the executive branch -- all the way to GWB -- is subject to the Geneva Convention. Further, I think it but a step to go from the pertinence of the Geneva Convention to the Principles of Nuremberg.

I'm in favor of both extensions of law -- and of common sense -- in the atrocious matter of Gitmo, then later in Abu Ghraib (inter alia) in Iraq and elsewhere, all directed by the current tenet of the White House. These abuses were nothing more or less than the extension of Israeli Mossad torture tactics to the Israel-Lobby-dominated US Dept. of Defense, winked at by the Israel-Lobby-dominated US media. Were it not for the fact that the Israel Lobby is behind it all, the hue and cry (especially by US Jews) would have been deafening. After all (they should argue but curiously don't), what the Neocons are rationalizing as correct measures against the Arabs in the current era is nothing more or less than what the Nazis rationalized as correct measures against the Jews in a former era.

I'm of the firm opinion that until the Israel Lobby -- Zionism is my preferred word, but I bow to the current lexicon -- is pointed out as the key player in the Nazification of US policy, there will be no substantial change, and the egregious techniques now introduced as protection for the American People will be used against the American People. This is always the way of emerging fascism, isn't it? That the Israel Lobby won't condemn it argues strongly that they are behind it.

As those who have followed my three-year mission of conscience have learned, my background in military/media matters (military intelligence and public affairs) has given me the knack of seeing where things are going well in advance. This was the case in the matter of Abu Ghraib and the war crimes we are committing there, as I pointed out what I thought was happening and whither it tended to my senior Ghost Troop officer, Ambassador Chase Untermeyer, currently the Bush League point man in Qatar (CENTCOM HQ).

I close with a couple of links from September, 2003. I wrote what I wrote at the time of the set-up of Muslim chaplain Captain James Yee, who was accused of treason when I believed his aim was to report the true nature of things to the US media (which was probably what betrayed him to the Bush League). Both are part of my four-volume report to Congress on media/military abuses in connection with the Battle of Baghdad Cover-up (BOBCUP):

Op-ed on Captain Yee & Captain Dreyfus (24 Sept. 03): http://www.ghosttroop.net/yeedreyfus.htm

Please forward these links to such as may find them of interest. Lord knows, the US media isn't going to do any digging or reporting into the reality of things, so we have to continue to do it ourselves!

PS: I hope you have seen the column Ghost Troop published in Bush's hometown Lone Star Iconoclast (in Crawford), which warns of a Bush League terror event (probably in Texas) before the elections: http://www.lonestaricon.com/absolutenm/anmviewer.asp?a=248&z
