ward_churchill_responds* It is not disputed that the Pentagon was a military target, or that a CIA office was situated in the World Trade Center. Following the logic by which U.S. Defense Department spokespersons have consistently sought to justify target selection in places like Baghdad, this placement of an element of the American "command and control infrastructure" in an ostensibly civilian facility converted the Trade Center itself into a "legitimate" target. Again following U.S. military doctrine, as announced in briefing after briefing, those who did not work for the CIA but were nonetheless killed in the attack amounted to no more than "collateral damage." If the U.S. public is prepared to accept these "standards" when the are routinely applied to other people, they should be not be surprised when the same standards are applied to them. ______________________ Ward in 2003
ratville The first line of defense by the Germans at Nuremberg was, "You can't try us for what you're trying to try us for. You're saying we're in violation of the Kellogg-Briand Pact [17] which outlaws aggressive warfare. We didn't sign it. We're not a party to that treaty. We can't therefore be prosecuted for violating it. What we did, we did within the parameters of legitimacy defined by our own domestic law. What we did was legal." And they said, "No. No. This is how it works boys. Customary law establishes the threshold of compliance for all nations. You're bound to comply with customary law whether you specifically agree with it or not. You violate it at your own peril."

To my shame, I once worked in the black tower of "Wankers Truss" opposite WTC. Of the people in "Liberty Plaza" (sic) none were innocent, excepting maybe the cleaners. I got out, not because of guilt, but for a deeper reason, it wasnt a fit place for a human being. BankersTrust was then illegally lending to Pinochet's tyranny, I saw the printouts. (Most computer testing is done with copies of live data, always a security/privacy leak). NY was a thrill, but obviously a target, even in 1980, so those who could get out, and did not, deserve no pity. I trust there werent many Guatemalan cleaners in WTC at 8:50 am. ... then some cheap anti USA lines, cant help it.. _________________________ ___________________

The reason for the map showing global cooling? It is obvious. There is NO GLOBAL WARMING!!! Global warming is a farce, and does not exist. Look at your own map for proof.
