No Ties To Al-Qaeda


Wolfowitz: Iraq Was Not Involved In 9-11 Terrorist Attacks, No Ties To
Al-Qaeda

By Jason Leopold

08/06/03: (Information Clearing House) Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul
Wolfowitz, one of the main architects for the war in Iraq, admitted for the
first time that Iraq had nothing to do with the September 11 terrorist
attacks, contradicting public statements made by senior White House and
Pentagon officials whose attempt to link Saddam Hussein and the terrorist
organization al-Qaeda was cited by the Bush administration as one of the
main reasons for launching a preemptive strike in March against Iraq.

Re: The Top 25 Censored Media Stories of 2002-2003


Hi Jim,

Yes, there are some pretty revealing txt's here...such as the Homeland
security link.

I am very shocked that there are not many net artists/critics/wirters on
this list that make art work regarding the issues of our times...hiding
behind code is not enough, it's like hiding one's head in the sand or hiding
in self - censorship. There needs to be more active statements by braver
academics/writers/artists who personally wish for something different...

marc

First They Came for the Jews
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
