Israeli Soldiers Shoot and Kill a US Citizen as She Holds Her 9-Month-Old Baby in Her Lap
With the Morgue Overflowing, the Family is Forced to Bury the 21-Year-Old Palestinian-American in the Ramallah Hospital Parking Lot
The US State Department Does Nothing
NEW YORK - April 3 - Israeli soldiers on Friday shot and killed Suraida Saleh in Ramallah as she was holding her 9-month old baby in her lap. She and her husband were driving to safety at her father's house after hearing shooting near their home. Suraida Saleh was a Palestinian-American, born in George Washington Hospital, in Washington, D.C.
Reached on the phone today in Ramallah, her father Farhan Mohammed Saleh, told Democracy Now! that Israeli soldiers asked the husband to stop the car and started shooting. He said they shot Suraida in the head and chest, and she died immediately. After shooting the husband repeatedly, they let him go. He took the baby from his dead wife's lap and stumbled up the road to the home of his father-in-law, where he collapsed.
With the Ramallah hospital morgue overflowing and Israeli soldiers preventing anyone from reaching the cemetery, Saleh said he was forced to bury his daughter in the hospital parking lot alongside dozens of other Palestinians.
Suraida's father, Farhan Mohammed Saleh, wept as he said: "I took her out of the hospital refrigerator [morgue] with my own hands, and my wife and my older son with me, we took her outside and put her in the ground, just temporary."
On Tuesday, Democracy Now! spoke to the Office of Consular Affairs at the State Department. The office said the State Department was aware that Suraida Saleh was a U.S. citizen, but did not plan to release a statement or take any action. Farhan Mohammed Saleh said that the State Department has done nothing.
As he spoke, you could hear his grandson crying in the background. "[My grandson] is with me now. He is 9 months old, I don't know what's going to happen with him without his mother. You know, he's crying all the time, that's what makes me suffer."
Details of Sureida's death were obtained by American Muslims for Global Peace and Justice (http://www.global-peace.org). They emailed, called and faxed major media for two days and no one picked up the story. Today is the first time the voice of Farhan Mohammed Saleh, the father of Suraida, will be broadcast nationwide. The following is a partial transcript of the interview that Amy Goodman, host of the radio and television show Democracy Now!, did with Farhan Mohammed Saleh in Ramullah:
Farhan Mohammed Saleh [FMS]: ...some of the neighbors, when they hear the shooting and saw her in the car, they call the ambulance... she stayed in the refrigerator [hospital morgue] from Friday morning up to yesterday evening [5 days]. ... I took her out of the hospital refrigerator with my own hands, and my wife and my older son with me, we took her outside and put her in the ground, just temporary, somewhere in the hospital, until they can take her to the cemetery.
Amy Goodman [AG]: You buried your daughter in the parking lot?
FMS: Yes, yes, she was with 2 more women, the men were buried separately. It is a temporary cemetery they make...
AG: How many other people are buried in the parking lot?
FMS: About 25 or 27 people. Three women were yesterday, and about 23 or 24 men.
AG: Why couldn't you get to the cemetery?
FMS: Nobody can go to the cemetery, there was shooting going everywhere. They just give 1 or 2 hours to the people to see their dead. We passed from the side of the tanks and the soldiers, and we was scared... [my grandson] is with me now. He is 9 months old, I don't know what's going to happen with him without his mother. You know, he's crying all the time, that's what makes me suffer. [Crying of baby in the background]
AG: Has the US embassy come to see you?
FMS: Nobody, nobody up to now. My other daughter in Brooklyn, she called the Department of State in the U.S. and gave them all the information and they called the American Embassy in Jerusalem, and gave them my phone number. They called me Friday or Saturday, and I told them what's happening, and they say they are going to come and nobody came. And they called me Sunday morning and say they're going to come and nobody showed up, up to now. I called 2 or 3 times and I talked with some people working and nobody has shown up to now, nobody has seen me up to now. I don't know what I'm going to do with the baby now. [He begins to weep.]
It's a bad situation, a bad situation we have really, we just ask God to help her. It's killing people everywhere, in the streets, in the houses. They broke down the houses, the buildings, they get inside the houses and the apartments and they kill people and break down everything. That's barbarism. That's the situation we have. I don't know where are the human rights? The US and all the world, they're calling for human rights - where are the human rights? Civilian people, they're killing everywhere, in the streets and the houses and the apartments. Some buildings have 10 to 15 apartments, they get inside the apartments and houses and are killing everywhere,

Some MDC Mugabe Opponents Buried Alive In 'Bush Pits' For Weeks
ZANU-PF Retribution
By Tim Reid
The Times - London 3-31-2
President Mugabe, emboldened by his election victory and angered by suspension from the Commonwealth, has unleashed his own form of ethnic cleansing across swaths of rural Zimbabwe. Thirty thousand people have been forced to flee their homes and entire "blacklisted" villages have been cut off from the food supply. Thousands of incidents of rape, torture, murder, kidnap and arson have been reported to human rights groups and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change. The wave of terror far exceeds the brutality witnessed before this month's vote, and before Zimbabwe was suspended from the Commonwealth for a year. In Mberengwa East district alone, in the Midlands province, 5,000 MDC supporters have fled in the face of reprisals. The internal refugee crisis has escalated so dramatically that earlier this week the Amani Trust, the Zimbabwean human rights group, applied to the United Nations and the Red Cross for tented villages to be set up in the capital, Harare, where the majority of people have fled, but was turned down.
Some MDC supporters have been buried alive for weeks in "bush pits", with the so-called "war veterans" and youth militia demanding information from them on the Opposition. Before the election Zenny Dube, 27, an MDC polling agent in Nkayi, Matabeleland North, was buried alongside two colleagues in a bush pit, covered in logs and branches, then weighed down with soil. He was kept there for three weeks. "They gave us water every three days," he said yesterday. "They wanted to know everything about the MDC, who were members, where they lived. They said they wanted us to die because we were selling Zimbabwe out to the white man."
One of the three, Thembeni Ndebele, is almost certainly dead. Suffering from malaria, he was removed from the pit after two weeks and has not been seen since. Mr Dube, a structural engineer, was dumped in the bush and left for dead.
President Mugabe's campaign against white farmers has intensified. More than 20 farmers in the Esigodini district, an irrigated dairy area south of Bulawayo, fled their properties yesterday, having been given until today to leave. Black workers on one of the farms were then beaten unconscious. In Matabeleland North, Farmers on 60 properties have been handed the same ultimatum, with some deciding to quit but most standing firm.
The Amani Trust estimates that up to 30,000 people have been forced from their villages since Mr Mugabe was declared the victor in the presidential election on March 14. The President's "war veterans" and youth militia - the feared teenage "Green Bombers" paid to spread terror - have been on the rampage across most of rural Mashonaland and Midlands province, where Mr Mugabe enjoys his strongest support, singling out whole villages suspected of being sympathetic to the MDC.
In the Midlands area of Gokwe, women and teenage girls have been raped by regular soldiers and Zanu PF militia, the trust says. Young girls have been forced to perform humiliating sexual acts in public. "Whole villages are being declared MDC and anyone living there is being targeted," Shari Eppel, an Amani Trust veteran, said. She issues a report today detailing a litany of rape, murder, beatings and torture carried out since the election.
"Food is being blatantly used as a political weapon," she said. "Even if you have money you cannot buy maize if you are declared an MDC supporter. There are entire villages in Mberengwa East where 'war veterans' are diverting maize supplies to the homes of local chiefs who support Zanu PF. You can only buy maize through the chief and whole villages have been blacklisted." She said that she received a report yesterday of two children in Tsholotsho, north of Bulawayo, starving to death. Lorryloads of maize have been driven from the area's Mataga depot to the chiefs' homesteads. MDC supporters are barred from buying it, while it is being sold to Zanu PF supporters for Z$1,300 (£10) for 110lb.
The full scale of the torture and murder of MDC polling agents is also just beginning to emerge. In Gokwe, James Nevana, 32, an MDC polling agent, was abducted the day that voting ended and taken to a youth militia camp. He had bicycle spokes poked through his genitals and was forced to drink poison.
The MDC estimates that ten agents have been murdered since the polls closed. Ms Eppel said: "Mugabe's terror machine has been dramatically stepped up since the election, and especially since the Commonwealth decision. He is sending out the message that he is going to do what he wants, whatever the outside world thinks. People here are very depressed, and there is enormous insecurity."

There is only one evil
By David Edwards
We live in a society that is so fantastically greedy, so fantastically irresponsible, that we cannot but be enmeshed in a net of hatred. Our selfishness, our indifference to the suffering of others, is simply staggering. Just consider...
First there are the business executives who subvert global warming treaties. Not only do that they do it but, like John Grasser of the mining industry and the Global Climate Coalition, they admit and justify doing it on the grounds that they are "buying time for our industries". Imagine that - they are obstructing action to stop a catastrophe that will claim countless thousands, perhaps millions, of lives, for short-term profit. Is it possible to conceive of such callousness, of such selfishness raised to the level of ultimate self-destruction, of such pragmatism raised to the level of ultimate naivety?
And then there are the political and media executives who almost visibly yawned when senior UN diplomats like Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck resigned in 1998 and 2000 describing how Western sanctions were really, truly responsible for genocide in Iraq, for the deaths of 500,000 children under five.
I wrote an article based on my own interview with Halliday. In it he demolished completely, incontrovertibly, the specious denials of Washington and London. Determined to publish such obviously vital material, I rang round every liberal newspaper in England, Ireland and Scotland. I was offering the arguments of an entirely credible high-level diplomat accusing my government of genocide. The article was dismissed out of hand, or because "Halliday is old hat", or because "the question and answer format is not right for us", or because "what is needed is for the Government position to change first", or because "we have already covered that subject" in an article before, once. The indifference and cynicism were breathtaking - they gave me a snapshot of a society utterly lost to self-interest and servility to power.
And now thousands of people lie crushed to death beneath giant buildings, and B52s are pounding a country packed with starving people. And my government, my media - this establishment, whose irresponsibility and cynicism I have personally witnessed - are telling me that 'we' are at war with evil. But they themselves are so befuddled by arrogance and compromise that they can't see the joke - that you can't wage war on evil with missiles and bombs. You can't hate someone else's hatred away.
You can wage war on evil with compassion for the suffering that causes evil, on the greed that creates the conditions on which evil thrives. You can wage war on evil by demolishing your own fatal arrogance, which, alas and alack!, makes you honestly, truly and sincerely believe that you - in your skin, in your clothes, in your car, in your job - are really more important, more special, dammit more human, than that person over there in his skin, clothes and job.
There is only one evil - it is the evil of me just caring for me and mine, and not caring a damn for him and his. To wage war on evil we have to wage war on this terrible delusion: that only +we+ matter, that we can best protect ourselves by caring only for ourselves. Bring the madmen to justice, but then turn things around for the rest of them: care for him and his, because I tell you we have not up to now, not for a moment.
But how do you do that when your whole political system, your entire economic system, your entire cultural system, is designed to take from him and to give to an opulent few?
The answer is simple: there are no systems, not really; there are only human hearts. So what are you going to do?

Blair opts for delay on Iraq
U-turn on Saddam: No 10 postpones 'damning dossier' to avert a Labour backbench backlash, reports Kamel Ahmed
Observer Worldview
Terrorism crisis - Observer special
Sunday March 31, 2002
The Observer
Tony Blair executed a last-minute U-turn on plans to publish a dossier of evidence against Saddam Hussein because he feared it would increase the frenzied speculation about an immediate war against Iraq, leading to an overwhelming backlash from his own MPs.
In a significant move which reveals the first softening of the line against the Iraqi dictator, Blair ordered that the report be pulled a few days before the Foreign Office was due to publish it.
He was also concerned that nervous Arab countries would see it as giving a green light to military action against Saddam, something they are set against.
The news comes five days before Blair is due to travel to the United States for a summit with President George Bush. At Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, Blair will privately argue for a more cautious tone on Iraq and say that any military action is 'a long way off'. He will also say that all diplomatic avenues should be explored and that the United Nations should have a key role in backing any coalition operation against the country.
Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, was due to publish the Government's evidence during a speech last Monday, but No 10 told him the weekend before that it was no longer 'politically useful' to continue with the plans. Senior government sources said that 'frenzied speculation' about military action against Iraq was damaging Blair's relations with his party and had led to the suggestion that two Cabinet Ministers, Clare Short and Robin Cook, would quit.
The Observer revealed this month that senior figures in the armed forces are concerned that any moves against Saddam could be ill-thought out and lead to British forces being involved in an open-ended and highly dangerous military mission.
The decision to abandon the report has also led to speculation that the evidence against Saddam produced so far is not as strong as No 10 would like. Officials have been told to look again at declassifying more documents to make a more powerful case against the Iraqi dictator.
It is now expected that some form of document will be published in the next few weeks, missing the original US summit deadline set by Blair.
Backbench MPs possessing expertise in defence and military matters were called to a private meeting with Straw three weeks ago and were shown two pages of a report due to form the backbone of the Government's evidence. The document, seen by The Observer, was said by one MP to be 'pretty unconvincing'. 'They will have to do a lot better if they are going to get the widespread support they need for a move against Iraq,' the MP said.
There is now a concerted effort among senior government figures to move away from the bellicose language employed by Bush against Iraq. A number of senior figures in the Cabinet are urging Blair to seek a solution in Palestine before turning Britain's attention to Saddam. 'The two things are inextricably linked,' one said. 'It is clear that one cannot progress without the other.'
Peter Hain, the Europe Minister held in high regard by No 10, made it clear yesterday that any military action against Iraq was for the very long-term future. 'The idea that we'll be launching cruise missiles over Baghdad tomorrow is not on,' he said. 'A lot of people are reacting to something that isn't even on the agenda.'
Blair hopes the decision to back-pedal on Iraq will please nervous backbenchers, concerned that an attack on Iraq will not be backed by Arab states, would split Europe and could lead to mass anti-government demonstrations.
'Any massive strike against Iraq would further polarise and alienate opinion within the Middle East and broader afield,' said Tony Lloyd, the former Foreign Office Minister who is seen as a moderate, in an article this weekend on the Red Pepper website. 'Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, firmly in the pro-Western camp, are hostile to military action. Turkey has warned against action.
'The majority of our EU partners believe that diplomacy must take priority and that every alternative to invasion must be examined rigorously. If it isn't, the unprecedented global coalition formed since last September could collapse, and military action could push the Middle East still further away from the West.'

Bush's Stealth Policy on Nuclear Arms
By Thomas Oliphant, March 12, 2002
WASHINGTON | It is not simply the fresh list of countries that the United States is willing to consider nuking someday.
What is truly significant - as well as stupid, scary, and outrageous - is the almost casual breaking of long-standing policy taboos about the unthinkable and the implications of this cavalier attitude for relations with the rest of the world and for future arms races.
The Russians and Chinese already know the United States is unilaterally departing from the 1972 treaty effectively banning missile defense systems. Now the world has reason to doubt the American commitment to the 1974 treaty to guard against nuclear proliferation as well as the honesty and good will of Bush administration "pledges" to cut back our post-Cold War nuclear arsenal and to maintain a moratorium on testing.
The cover story the administration sought to peddle on last weekend's TV talk shows - via Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice - is that contingency plans to target Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Russia, and China are more theoretical exercises than serious policy work and that no special notice need be taken.
The cover story is belied by actual intentions as revealed to Congress in a freshly completed Nuclear Posture Review and in the very faint, fine print of the recently unveiled Bush budget. Over the weekend the headline-making list of countries leaked from Capitol Hill, but as part of a leak of the underlying policy document that began four weeks ago.
On Feb. 13, the Natural Resources Defense Council - well-known for its thorough, documented research - put out the first detailed summary of the posture review that had been ordered by Congress in late 2000 and of a special briefing the Defense Department had conducted on the document - without the secret list of countries. At the time, no one really noticed. With the addition of the countries, The Los Angeles Times got noticed. Here's the council's highly critical but accurate summary view four weeks ago:
"Behind the administration's rhetorical mask of post-Cold War restraint lie expansive plans to revitalize US nuclear forces and all the elements that support them, within a so-called "New Triad" of capabilities that combine nuclear and conventional offensive strikes with missile defenses and nuclear weapons infrastructure."
If the basic purpose of nuclear weapons since the end of World War II had been to prevent their use and proliferation, the deadly serious review by the Bush administration - with the force plans and massive spending as accompaniments - results in a doctrine that contemplates their use and appears indifferent to their proliferation.
Numbers tell a large chunk of the story. When the administration's intention unilaterally to abrogate the ABM treaty was made known, President Bush made much of a supposed intention to reduce its supply of deployed warheads from roughly 8,000 to below 4,000 in 2007 and eventually to between 1,700 and 2,200.
What the posture review actually reveals is a plan to cut "immediate force requirements" for "operationally deployed forces." What's going on here is more a change of terms than in posture, hidden by a new, gobbledygook accounting system that the council properly declared "worthy of Enron."
Behind the clearly visible nuclear inventory, the council found a "huge, hidden arsenal." It included, but no longer "counted," warheads on two Trident submarines being overhauled at all times, as well as 160 more now listed as "spare." It included nearly 5,000 intact warheads now in a status called "inactive reserve," not to mention a few thousand more bombs and cruise missile warheads as part of a new "responsive force." And on top of that there is to be a stockpile of weapons-grade plutonium and other components from which thousands more weapons could be assembled quickly. Extrapolating the information, the Defense Council estimated that the United States would have a total of 10,590 warheads at the end of 2006, compared with 10,656 this year.
And there's more. The administration's posture review also discloses plans to greatly expand the nuclear war infrastructure and to prepare for a resumption of testing, in part to make possible a new generation of warheads that could penetrate deep into the ground. The rules of the nuclear road from the US perspective have never included a flat-out promise never to be the first combatant to resort to nuclear war. During the Cold War, the United States was always prepared to go nuclear to stop a massive, conventional attack from the east in Europe, and before the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein got a stern message that all bets were off if he used chemical or biological weapons.
But this is different. This is a plan to use nukes in conventional war-fighting and to maintain a Cold War-sized arsenal by stealth and deception. It is disgraceful.

Britain bans boy soldiers going to war
By Michael Smith, Defence Correspondent
Filed: 29/03/2002)
BRITAIN is to end its centuries-old policy of sending boy soldiers into battle after deciding to ratify a UN protocol aimed at preventing the use of children in warfare.
But it will continue to recruit 15-year-olds even though the protocol is specifically aimed at stopping armies from recruiting anyone under 18. At present, more than a third of recruits to the Armed Forces are below this age.
The deployment of 17-year-old soldiers during the Gulf war and the Kosovo conflict led Save the Children and other campaign groups to compare Ministry of Defence policy to that of Third World countries.
An investigation is continuing after two soldiers of 17 who were equipped with live ammunition died in shooting incidents at a barracks in Surrey.
In anticipation of the protocol's ratification, the Army has amended its rules to ensure that no one under 18 can be deployed on military operations abroad where there is a possibility of hostilities, said an MoD spokesman.
CLIP
A report last year by the International Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers singled out Britain as one of the worst offenders among 178 countries, most of them in the Third World. The MoD said it unreservedly condemned the use of children in armed conflict.
But the recruitment of 16- to 18-year-olds with the consent of their parents was fundamentally different to "the abusive, compulsory, or coercive involvement of children as members of militia or para-military forces".
No British servicemen or women under 18 would now be deployed on land operations outside the UK, although they might participate in purely humanitarian missions where no hostile forces are involved.
No one under 18 would be allowed to carry out operational patrols in Northern Ireland, although they might be sent there in other roles. A spokesman for Amnesty International said: "The UK holds the lowest minimum age for recruiting within Europe and is still seeking to broaden its recruitment of children.
"It has to decide what is the best way to defend Britain, with children or with adults."

US GAO TO REPORT ON LABORATORY BIRTH OF AIDS
(Youngstown, OH) US General Accounting Office investigators will brief Ohio Congressman James A. Traficant of the GAO's current investigation into the mostly secret US Special 'AIDS' Virus program as early as Friday April 12, 2002.
According to statements released today from the Congressman's chief of staff, Mr. Anthony Traficanti. "(The US GAO) is going to schedule a video teleconference with our office sometime next week, I suggest you be there."
The US Special Virus program secretly spent 15 years and $550 million tax payer dollars to develop 60,000 liters of a new chimera virus which depletes the human immune system.
The 'special virus' is designed for an affinity towards racial blood markers in people of color, according to the government's US Special Virus documentation uncovered by Dr. Boyd E. Graves' during his decade of research into the origin of HIV/AIDS.
"The 1971 AIDS Development flowchart is the "missing link" in establishing the design, purpose and intent of the AIDS pandemic under the auspices of population control and national security," says Dr. Graves. "Prior to May, 1984 AIDS was called the leukemia/lymphoma virus."
On May 15, 2000 Dr. Victoria Cargill, senior US AIDS expert at the National Institute of Health, independently acknowledged the existence of the government's secret 1971 HIV/AIDS Flow Chart which Dr. Graves uncovered in 1999.
According to Buckeye Review publisher Mr. Mike McNair, "The GAO Investigation called by Congressman Traficant, is crucial in allowing the government to speak definitively about the medical and governmental facts as they exist."
The secret US Special HIV/AIDS Virus Flow Chart five page fold out is featured on page 51 of Dr. Graves' first book, "STATE ORIGIN: The Evidence of the Laboratory Birth of AIDS" (NOAH/Zygote Media 2001 ISBN# 0-9707735-1-X).
"Dr. Graves first book has sold out around the world three times already," says his publisher. "Dr. Graves has provided over 26,000 free HIV/AIDS Flow Charts to folks in every corner of the world."
For additional information on Dr. Graves' research, grass roots judicial activism, or to download the US Special Virus Flow Chart online please visit http://www.boydgraves.com or call his publisher at 785-263-1871.
"We must let nature determine the finish line, not man," says Dr. Graves.
"We are greater than any federal virus program. We are the human race."
