Hersh: Bush administration arranged support for militants attacking Lebanon - MUST READ in Hizb_N_Lebanon
In an interview on CNN International's Your World Today, veteran journalist Seymour Hersh explains that the current violence in Lebanon is the result of an attempt by the Lebanese government to crack down on a militant Sunni group, Fatah al-Islam, that it formerly supported. Last March, Hersh reported that American policy in the Middle East had shifted to opposing Iran, Syria, and their Shia allies at any cost, even if it meant backing hardline Sunni jihadists. A key element of this policy shift was an agr... Read More
May 22, 2007 at 7:55pmHERSH: You're assuming logic by the United States government. That's okay. We'll forget that one right now. Basically it's very simple. These groups are seeing -- when I was in ...
May 22, 2007 at 7:54pmHERSH: You have to answer this question. If that's true, Syria which is close -- and criticized greatly by the Bush administration for being very close -- to Hezbollah would als...
May 22, 2007 at 7:54pmDoesn't it go against the interests not only of the Senora government but also of America and Lebanon now? HERSH: [b]The enemy of our enemy is our friend, much AS the jihadis...

Palestinians angered by the assault on the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in northern Lebanon have set fire to car tyres at three other camps. The protests at Ain el-Hilweh, Lebanon's largest Palestinian camp, Rashidiyeh and Beddawi have raised fears of an uprising by Palestinians across the country. Fatah said on Tuesday that refugees across Lebanon could rise up if the army continues shelling the camp in which fighters from the Fatah al-Islam group, which split from the mainstream group, are under siege. ...

There's so much left to know, And I?m on the road to find out Well in the end I?ll know, but on the way I wonder Through descending snow, And through the frost and thunder I listen to the wind come howl, Telling me I have to hurry But staring out of the window, into the vastness of the deep black night I wonder, 'Where does the sky end?' My mind could not penetrate beyond the veil of darkness. Was I alone? I sing my song, though near, None can see and none can hear I seem to wander endlessly... Read More

Suleiman angrily approached the head of the Information Branch (of the Internal Security Forces ISF) Brigadier General Wissam al-Hassan and held him responsible for the loss of lives, since the ar...

A Fatah al-Islam spokesman said on Tuesday his militant group had nothing to do with two Beirut bombings for which a statement in the group's name had earlier claimed responsibility. "We have no link to the attacks in Ashrafiyeh and (Verdun)," Abu Salim, Fatah al-Islam's spokesman, told Reuters referring to the eastern and western districts in Beirut where the attacks took place on Sunday and Monday, killing one. A Fatah al-Islam statement faxed to Reuters said the group had carried out the bombings. "... Read More

The formation of ozone holes is related to these scientific issues, yet is still distinct. Ozone plays a very important, natural role in the upper atmosphere (called the stratosphere), where 90% of it exists. Stratospheric ozone acts as a shield against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This ozone can be destroyed by human-produced chemical compounds called chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs. When these CFCs are combined with extremely cold stratospheric temperatures over the poles, solar radiation, a... Read More

Our planet absorbs radiant energy from the sun and emits some of that energy back to space. The term greenhouse effect describes how water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other "greenhouse" gases in the atmosphere alter the return of energy to space, and in turn, change the temperature at the Earth's surface. These greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy that is emitted from the Earth's surface, preventing this energy from being lost to space. As a result, the lower atmosphere warms and sends some of this energy b... Read More

Lebanese? - we still don't know - shot a soldier right beside me. He fell down on his back, crying with pain, and I thought he had slipped on the road until I saw the blood pumping out of his leg and the Red Cross tea... Read More
