Strength we are all proud of!
Feb 24th
The biggest terrorist network of the world – the United States, Britain, Israel, India and the likes – has been tracing the shadow of Osama Bin Laden for more than a decade now. Yesterday’s arrest of US run Jundullah leader, Abdolmalek Al-Rigi, is a testimony of the growing strength of Iran and the professionalism of its security agencies.
He was arrested while he was on-board a plane flying from the United Arab Emirates to Kyrgyzstan, apparently carrying a forged Afghan passport. I am surprised at how freely he has been able to move across the world and his presence in a public plane just shows the confidence he has had in his supporters.
Rigi was Iran’s most wanted man. One of the Muslim Ummah’s most wanted men. He had openly accepted responsibility for a deadly attack on Iran’s Revolutionary Guards that had killed over 40 people last year. More >

Feb 3rd
Aafia Siddiqui – a daughter, a sister, a mother of three, committed Muslim, social scientist, hafiz of Qur’an – needed to be heard. For years she had suffered in virtual silence…aching to be heard, to be understood, to have certain malicious untruths corrected and exposed for the lies they were. That day finally came on Thursday, January 28, 2010!
The high drama of that day’s proceedings revolved around the question of whether or not U.S. District Judge Richard Berman would grant Aafia’s repeated demand to take the stand in her own defense.
Aafia’s lawyers appeared to be animate in their opposition to her taking the stand, while the prosecution appeared (on the surface) to be in favor of Aafia being entitled to her Fifth Amendment right. Her brother (Muhammad) was apprehensive about her taking the stand, leaning more in favor of her following the advice of her lawyers. Even Pakistani Ambassador Hussain Haqqani became involved. During a short visit he was allowed with the defendant, he reportedly advised Aafia to follow the advice of her lawyers.

Jan 20th
The MIT educated neuroscrintist from Pakistan, Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, went missing from Pakistan in 2003. It was reported the very next day that she was held for terrorism charges. in 2008, the United States shamelessly alleged that she was arrested in Afghanistan in 2008 attempting to shoot at US soldiers.
See the disconnect? She was reported arrested in the media citing official sources way back in 2003. After five years of severe non-stop torture, the United States says she was arrested in 2008!
Her trial recently began in New York under charges of terrorism. She screamed out loud that her children were tortured and that she was being kept in a secret prison. She was dragged out of the court room when she tried to speak and plead her case. More >

Dec 3rd
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Once again the cacophony of demands from the US and its allies on Pakistan has reached a crescendo.
The US is getting increasingly frustrated at its glaring failure in Afghanistan. Undoubtedly, the shadow of Vietnam must be looming larger over Washington – with demands for more troops from the military command on the ground in Afghanistan accompanied by a growing weariness with the war inside the US itself; and a confusion in the minds of the Obama Administration as to what needs to be done to turn the tide and bring “the boys” home victorious.
The ignominy of Vietnam is still writ large on the US psyche as is that last hasty departure of imperialism from that country – atop the rooftop of the US embassy in Saigon. As the questions grow within the US about Afghanistan and Obama’s confusion gets mired in a numbers game of how many soldiers to add to a force that cannot possibly win; an easy target for all that has gone wrong for the US in Kabul is Pakistan of course.
Never mind that the US itself blundered by allowing bin Laden to escape from Tora Bora – if that is indeed what happened; never mind that Pakistan has destroyed its own polity with thousands displaced and countless innocent citizens killed before drone attacks, suicide attacks and other forms of terrorism, for this US war; and never mind that the Pakistan Army has moved its forces from the eastern front, despite an increasingly belligerent India, to fight its own people in FATA.

Oct 27th
Eric S, Margolis
October 12, 2009
President Barack Obama and Congress are wrestling with widening the war in Afghanistan. After eight years of military operations costing US $236 billion, the US commander in Afghanistan just warned of the threat of `failure,’ aka defeat.
Truth is war’s first casualty. The Afghan War’s biggest untruth is, `we’ve got to fight terrorists over there so we don’t have to fight them at home.’
Politicians and generals keep using this canard to justify a war they can’t otherwise explain or justify. Many North Americans still buy this lie because they believe the 9/11 attacks came directly from the Afghanistan- based al-Qaida and Taliban movements.
