This Day In History - Dachau Concentration Camp Liberated by US Troops
2008-04-30 17:59:00 Dachau was the first Nazi concentration camp and served as a model for others that followed. Over 200,000 prisoners from more than 30 countries were housed there, and records indicate that at least 35,000 inmates died in the camp, many from a typhus epidemic in 1945.

News: UN troops smuggled gold, ivory and 'armed Congo rebels'
2008-04-29 22:29:00 An 18-month BBC investigation for Panorama has found evidence that:- Pakistani peacekeepers in the eastern town of Mongbwalu were involved in the illegal trade in gold with the FNI militia (described by Human Rights Watch as "some of the most murderous individuals that operate in eastern Congo"), providing them with weapons to guard the perimeter of the mines.- The Indians traded gold, bought drugs from the militias and flew a UN helicopter into the Virunga National Park, where they exchanged ammunition for ivory.A UN investigation concluded that one officer had been responsible for dealing in gold - allowing traders to use UN aircraft to fly into the town, putting them up at the UN base and taking them around the town. But the UN decided that "in the absence of corroborative evidence" its investigators "could not substantiate the allegation" that Pakistani peacekeepers supplied weapons or ammunition to the militia.It did, however, identify "an individual who seemed to have facilita...

Hey rich Republicans, support the troops: pay your taxes!
2008-04-18 23:07:00 Browse any business magazine, and one of the glaring hypocrisies you'll notice is between the general attitudes toward war and taxes: They like the war in Iraq — although they'll backslide by saying it's been "poorly managed" (which is like saying that the problem with the Mafia is that it's poorly managed) — but they don't like taxes. For instance Forbes — the mouthpiece of a guy who endorsed Rudy "Bomb 'Em All and Let God Sort 'Em Out" Giuliani — has stories about the world's top tax havens, about rich people who got in trouble by cheating on their taxes (and how you can avoid the same mistakes!), how generally to avoid paying taxes, and how horrible it is to pay those taxes you can't get out of. That, in essence, is the Republican Party's real base — greedy rich bastards who don't want to pay their taxes. But, I ask, with all these rich people voting for whoever will give them the deepest tax cuts, and with corporations paying less than...

Afghanistan War Heats Up For German Troops
2008-04-14 09:04:00 The German government has repeatedly expressed misgivings regarding the conduct of the war in Afghanistan and has opposed requests by the American government to increase the number of German soldiers in the country. The slaying of six aid workers and three attacks against the German military underscores concern in the German army, the Bundeswehr, that the area of northern Afghanistan in which they have been deployed is becoming more violent. Despite official statements of relative calm in northern Afghanistan, it is increasingly obvious the situation is neither peaceful nor stable. Bunsdeswehr General Inspector Wolfgang Schneiderhan, noted the “alarming development” of attacks in the area his forces are guarding is part of a pattern of growing violence in the north. The German military is particularly concerned that several aid workers have become targets for Taliban forces. An important component of German uneasiness is frustration at the apparent lack of an overall st...
U.S. Troops in Iraq Suffer Bloodiest Week of 2008
2008-04-13 23:08:00 Clearly there is no possible Bush-Cheney-McCain spin that the surge is working. The surge was a mistake. Our troops need to be brought home before more unnecessary loss of life.  It looks like matters are getting worse despite our paying insurgents to not fire on our troops.  Whatever could the Bush Administration say at this point to justify continued efforts when the entry to Iraq was never justified. With McSame and the rest of the Repub rubber stamping of the Bush Administration, could this be good P.R. for a long Democratic hold on government in the future? One thing is for sure. Staying in Iraq is only folly and a ridiculous attempt to support oil companies and certainly an outrage in consideration of the cost in human life.

US TROOPS TO RECEIVE HANDHELD LIE DETECTORS
2008-04-09 22:00:00 Filed under: Handhelds In a move sure to bring the polygraph haters out of the woodwork, the US Army is issuing a handheld lie detector to select soldiers in Afghanistan in order to "root out potential terrorists" and help "narrow the list of suspects after a roadside bombing." The DoD isn't asserting that the device is perfect, but it's hoping the detection capabilities are accurate enough to save American lives and sniff out allegiances that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. Hailed as PCASS (Preliminary Credibility Assessment Screening System), the underlying unit is a TDS Ranger that relies on three sensors connected to a respondent and integrated software that uses Green to signify truth, Yellow if it can't decide and Red if it recognizes a filthy liar on the other end. Nevertheless, we're certain Lafayette Instrument Company is stoked about the deal -- you know, considering that the Army has already purchased 94 of 'em at $7,500 apiece.[Thanks, ladderless] Read | Per...

Damascus lines its borders with troops ahead of semi-boycotted Arab summit
2008-03-29 20:50:00 DEBKA -- Yemen and Jordan sent junior representatives, following the lead of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco and Oman. Lebanon boycotted the meeting in protest against Syrian “meddling†which has deprived the country of a president since November. Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki was too busy with his offensive against fellow Shiites in Basra. But Baghdad sent its Shiite Arab vice president Adil Abdul-Mahdi. Iran sent FM Manouchehr Mottaki after backing away from Syria’s original plan to invite its president.Syrian president Bashar Assad has inexplicably responded to the partial boycott of the Arab League “summit†by lining up army units on his borders with Iraq, Lebanon and Israel, as well as pushing contingents across the border into Lebanon proper.DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s military sources report that a group of Syrian armored divisions has been posted along the Beirut-Damascus highway at Zabadani, under the command of the president’s younger brother, Maher Assad, commander of the pr...

Steve Massey, the school principal, said the decision to cancel was prompted by concerns that the event was becoming political rather than educational and therefore was not suitable for a public school.

2008-03-25 13:53:00 UPDATE: The sequel to SWAT Force, SWAT Elite Troops has been released by Vivendi Games Mobile. This new mobile game apparently features an Instant Tactical Decision system which supposedly allows the gamer to make snap decisions instantly within the game…our previous report can be found here It appears the developers have optimised SWAT Elite Troops’s game for mobile control, which is usually either forgotten about or done poorly as a mobile handset isn’t a console gamepad. Anyway in SWAT Elite Troops you take command of an elite team and go about killing off bad guys, taking hostages, and defusing bombs, you know, the usual stuff in these military/law enforcer games. The gamer will also have access to an abundance of killing weapons such as stub-guns, flash guns, guns, and guns, and guns, ect, I’m sure you get the general ideal. Source – vivendi
