New Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, according to Newsweek, has drafted a plan for US troop withdrawl, and is unveiling it today.

The plan includes:

US troop withdrawal "under conditions that take into account the formation of Iraqi armed forces so as to guarantee Iraq's security"
Amnesty for all insurgents who attacked U.S. and Iraqi military targets
Release of all security detainees from U.S. and Iraqi prisons
Compensation for victims of coalition military operations.

This was recently discussed on the front page.

Recently, on the internet RADSAFE mailing list and elsewhere, the issue of the increased congenital malformation rates from exposure to depleted uranium and the effect it may have had on military recruiting has arisen.

If you know anyone who has avoided military service because of the threat of increased incidents of birth defects later in life, please post a description of the situation. Thank you. Read More

Do you have kids in school?

Do you not want them to be recruited to go around killing people and breathing uranyl oxide gas vapor fumes?

Please visit LeaveMyChildAlone.org and prevent U.S. military recruiters from preying on your kids. You will need to opt out twice for each kid: once for direct recruiting, and again for in-school recruiting.

Bush gives new reason for Iraq war
Says US must prevent oil fields from falling into hands of terrorists
By Jennifer Loven
Associated Press
August 31, 2005
CORONADO, Calif. -- President Bush answered growing antiwar protests yesterday with a fresh reason for US troops to continue fighting in Iraq: protection of the country's vast oil fields, which he said would otherwise fall under the control of terrorist extremists....

Of course, we would not need to have any troops there if we could just install a strong-man dictator to prevent the oil money from falling into the religious extremists' hands. With a secular strong man we wouldn't have to worry about the massive loss of women's economic, reproductive, and personal rights which has occurred and is continuing with the new draft constitution.

Oh, wait.

An agreement was reached that Islam is the religion of state, and that no law shall be enacted that contradicts the agreed-upon essential verities of Islam. Likewise, the inviolability of the highest [Shiite] religious authorities in the land is safeguarded, without any allusion to a detailed description.... A Higher Council will be formed to review new legislation to ensure it does not contravene the essential verities of the Islamic religion.

Sibel Edmonds Was Investigating House Speaker Dennis Hastert When Fired!?!

I am going to break with the usual diary protocol and copy this page in its entirety below the fold. I have no idea what "The International Post" is supposed to be, and this Sibel Edmonds story -- and supporting stories and media linked from it -- are apparently the only things of any substance that www.theinternationalpost.com has ever hosted so far. Furthermore, I can not figure out who the author, "Lynn Grant," is associated with; that might be a pseudonym. The HTML markup is messed up in that it looks like a hasty MS word doc conversion. Some of the link names pointing back to news items on the site seem to be named in Turkish. I have no idea what that might imply. So, on the chance that the site might be taken down on enforcement of Edmonds' gag order, I'm copying it in its entirety, and only cleaning some HTML and punctuation.

Please read, and then take the poll. Read More
