The Nobel prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter has called for Tony Blair to be tried for war crimes, in his acceptance speech to the Nobel committee.

The 5,000-word speech excoriates the US government over Guantánamo Bay and its attempts to destabilise Nicaragua in the 1980s.

But he saves his most savage comments for the UK, described as "pathetic and supine" and a "bleating little lamb" tagging along behind the US in its support for the Iraq war.

"The invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law," he said.

"The invasion was an arbitrary military action inspired by a series of lies upon lies and gross manipulation of the media and therefore of the public ... a formidable assertion of military force responsible for the death and mutilation of thousands and thousands of innocent people.

"We have brought torture, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, innumerable acts of random murder, misery, degradation and death to the Iraqi people, and call it 'bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East'."

The 75-year-old will not be attending Saturday's award ceremony at the Swedish Academy in Stockholm because of poor health. He will be sending his publisher, Stephen Page, in his place to receive the 10m kroner prize.


Children are dying in IRAQ !

There are 54 millions human beings in Iraq. More then half of them are children
aged below fifteen years old.

Of the more then 15,000 civilians who died in this war, almost half were children.

Children are
Victim of the Occupation in Iraq !

There are numerous pictures, video and testimonies that give the true picture of Iraq today !

It is understandable that the US war machine
does not wish us to see those pictures,
to view those videos and to read the truth !

Here are few links !

Pictures That b-US-h
Does Not Want You To See !

That is $186,000,000 (186 millions) a day that can be used to save
CHILDREN lives
in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi !

Americans torture innocent children in front of their parents to intimidate them.

09/28/05 "ICH" -- --
Absurdities and atrocities have come to largely define America in the new millennium.
Who would have thought that the United States of America would embrace the practice of torture as a matter of policy?
Torture, with all its grim, sadistic, soul destroying, screaming implications. . . .
Enemies of the US hate it for its ‘freedom’. Damn right. Freedom from the rule of law. America recently advanced ‘freedom’ by sodomizing young boys at Abu Grahaib, where they torture children to manipulate their parents. Did you hear that?
Americans torture innocent children in front of their parents to intimidate them. Is that possible?
Now certain ‘leaders’ are hoping that the tape of that advancement doesn’t get out.
Too much freedom can be a bad thing after all.


 

(09/09/05)A pregnant, 40 years old Iraqi woman was shot by US military on August 10th, 2005 in the city of Mosul, northern Iraq, while in front of her house. The woman, who was in her 32nd week of pregnancy, was hit in her abdomen and collapsed immediately. As usual, US troops looked carelessly and walked away, not offering any help or medical care. Bystanders then took the woman to the ER at the Republican Hospital in Mosul. The ER medical team performed a C-section in an attempt to save the fetus, but he was dead as the bullet had penetrated his chest and exited from his back...

Imagine how quickly people could be recovered in New Orleans right now if every helicopter currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan were available. Imagine how many field hospitals could be established. Imagine how many food and water drops could be accomplished. Imagine how many light water craft could be deployed.

Imagine how many poor people who couldn't heed the mandatory evacuation order because they had no automobiles could have been pre-evacuated with the fleet of C-5's, C-17's, C-141's, and C-130's that are currently being employed to occupy and dominate people far, far from your own homes. How many 5-tons, deuce-and-a-halfs, military buses, and "cattle trucks" could have been employed to shuttle people to the airport for evacuation.


 

Children of New Iraq and the Disgusting Sex Trade
 

The Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), for humanitarian affairs, which is working in cooperation with the United Nations, has issued a report on the phenomenon of the sexual abuse of children in the new American Iraq. According to the report, hundreds of families in Iraq have found the trade of homosexuality with children as a means of living, under the blockage of horizons and the deterioration of the security conditions in Iraq...


 

"Bush And America Out"
One Hundred Thousand March Against Occupation
And Collaborator Constitution

On August 26, a hundred thousand Iraqis across the country marched on Friday in support of a maverick Shi'ite cleric opposed to a draft constitution that U.S.-backed government leaders say will deliver a brighter future.


 

August 16, 2005 The American occupation army has, today, arrested five children who are under the age of ten, and kept them as pawns in the Iraqi city of Baji. They are intending to keep them until the city inhabitants turn over the children who were shown on TV screens, in the beginning of this week, demonstrating and holding the clothes of American soldiers killed lately in the city centre by a roadside bomb.

According to a Baji police source, the American forces have encircled the city and arrested the children, and in the meantime they were urging the public via loud speakers to turnover the wanted children. According to the same source, the American army has threatened that they would storm the city and begin a campaign of house to house searching and arresting people if they wouldn’t turn the wanted children over to the Americans

In war, casualties can be expected, but the parents at the High Court today  believe the war in Iraq was illegal and someone - namely Tony Blair - is to blame.


 

Iraq’s Children: Choir of Despair
Ghali Hassan

 
www.GlobalResearch.ca

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is a wide range of specific rights and protection measures to protect children worldwide. It is also the most ratified international human rights treaty ever. It strictly prohibits the abuse and torture of children. In most Western countries, including the US, the abuse of children is a criminal offensive. However, this is not the case when the crimes are committed against Iraqi children by Western forces. It is part of the destructive policy brought into Iraq by the US Occupation of the country.


 

Depleted Uranium, Anthrax Vaccine & The Gulf War Syndrome,
Part 1
Dr. James Howenstine, MD

. . . My impression currently is that there may be a more insidious and sinister aspect to the invasion of Iraq. Could we be using this nuclear war as a way to lower the population of an Arab nation? Exposing all the citizens in a nation to a daily dose of radioactive uranium dust would be certain to produce very premature deaths and inability to reproduce. These irradiated nations will have huge problems with illness of their citizens and the inability of most parents to produce healthy children for succeeding generations.



Illegal Detention of Children in Iraq

Last week the Pentagon blocked the release of pictures of Iraqi children being raped and sodomized by American soldiers as publication of those pictures would have been a public relations disaster of the U.S. In an expose done by the Sunday Herald late last year a child witness of the abuse at Abu Ghraib gave a statement to investigators saying that he witnessed the rape of a boy who was 15 years old...
 


More then 100 (Muslim) children held in jails such as Abu Ghraib

A Sunday Herald investigation has discovered that coalition forces are holding more than 100 children in jails such as Abu Ghraib. Witnesses claim that the detainees – some as young as 10 – are also being subjected to rape and torture



128,000 Iraqis have been killed since the U.S. invasion began in March 2003

Mafkarat al-Islam reported that chairman of the 'Iraqiyun humanitarian organization in Baghdad, Dr. Hatim al-'Alwani, said that the toll includes everyone who has been killed since that time, adding that 55 percent of those killed have been women and children aged 12 and under.

World Tribunal On Iraq

Preliminary Declaration Of The Jury Of Conscience

Recognizing the right of the Iraqi people to resist the illegal occupation of their country and to develop independent institutions, and affirming that the right to resist the occupation is the right to wage a struggle for self-determination, freedom, and independence as derived from the Charter of the United Nations, we the Jury of Conscience declare our solidarity with the people of Iraq.

Children, too, are abused in U.S. prisons

..Under international law, the line between childhood and maturity is 18. In communications with Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, the Pentagon has lowered the cutoff to 16. For this reason among others, we don't know exactly how many Iraqi children are in American custody. But before the transfer of sovereignty to an Iraqi interim government a year ago, the International Committee of the Red Cross reported registering 107 detainees under 18 during visits to six prisons controlled by coalition troops. Some detainees were as young as 8. Since that time, Human Rights Watch reports that the number has risen.
 


Respect and goodwill for the United States is dropping fast throughout the world,
but nowhere faster than their next-door neighbors Canada.

Only 45 per cent of Canadians now back the U.S.-led war on terrorism, while 78 per cent backed the war three years ago; 80 per cent of Canadians now say they are glad Canada stayed out of Iraq. And 75 per cent of Canadians say they have a less favorable view of the United States since Mr. Bush's re-election.

"There's no question there are negative feelings," in Canada, said former U.S. secretary of state Madeleine Albright, who co-chaired the survey. "Some of it has to do with the fact that we are the Big Foot to the south."


Malnutrition Among Iraqi Children Has Doubled
Since Saddam Hussein's Ouster in April 2003

...In addition to the mass killings of Iraqi civilians, U.S. forces deliberately committed cultural genocide against Iraqi national heritage, and Iraqi treasures. “Not even the Nazis would have allowed such crimes”, wrote the Indian philosopher, Aijaz Ahmad. Ahmed added; “Every single Article of the Geneva Convention and the U.N. Charter was violated, and a whole range of war crimes committed, with impunity. Yet, not a single member of the so-called ‘international community’ has come forward to say so: not Kofi Annan and his bureaucrats at the U.N., not the leaders of the Franco-German alliance [for political opportunism] or any other member of the Security Council, not the head of any Arab state” was able to whisper a word of resistance. “The moral bankruptcy of the whole state system of the world is there for all to see. This global complicity is what made the invasion possible in the first place”, added Professor Ahmad...


Not a Pretty Picture


Looking this war in the face proves difficult when the press itself won't look !


Children held as Ennemy Combatant at Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq

Brig Gen Karpinski, who was in charge at Abu Ghraib from July to November 2003, said she often visited the prison's youngest inmates. She said in her interview that she thought one boy "looked like he was eight years old". "He told me he was almost 12," she said. "He told me his brother was there with him, but he really wanted to see his mother, could he please call his mother. He was crying."


A Sunday Herald investigation has discovered that
coalition forces are holding more than 100 children in jails such as Abu Ghraib.

Kasim Mehaddi Hilas who was himself threatened with being sexually assaulted in Abu Graib,
then describes in horrific detail how the soldier raped “the little kid”.


An Army Specialist from Kentucky has become a high-profile opponent of the Iraq war.
He's one of many U.S. military deserters who have fled to Canada.


The U.S. Senate's senior Constitutional scholar has equated Bush with Hitler,

Octogenarian Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia made the equation in the context of Bush's attack on Senate procedures which might slow or halt his on-going attempt to pack the courts with extreme right-wing fanatics. Byrd said Bush's moves to destroy time-honored Senate rules parallel Hitler's ramming fascist legislation through his gutted Reichstag. "Hitler never abandoned the cloak of legality," said Byrd. "He recognized the enormous psychological value of having the law on his side. Instead, he turned the law inside out and made illegality legal."
