"KUWAIT CITY -- The United States recently responded to pressure from the German government and released detainee Murat Kurnaz from Guantanamo Bay. Although he spent four years in the U.S. prison there, Kurnaz was never charged with a crime, and there are no indications that he was involved in any terrorist-related activity. Had he been afforded his constitutional right to due process upon detention, it is highly likely that this innocent man would not have wasted four years of his life in prison."

"WASHINGTON -- Under pressure from a contrary Supreme Court ruling and a public at times skeptical of his military judgment, President Bush disclosed long-classified elements of his counterterrorism program yesterday. He confirmed the secret prison network run by the Central Intelligence Agency and announced the transfer of 14 alleged al Qaeda commanders -- including suspected masterminds of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks -- to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for eventual trial."

"WASHINGTON , Sept. 6 -- Under the measure that President Bush proposed on Wednesday, Khalid Shaik Mohammed and other major terrorism suspects would face trials at GuantanamoBay in military tribunals that would allow evidence obtained by coercive interrogation and hearsay and deny suspects and their lawyers the right to see classified evidence used against them."

The New York Times:
"KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- A suicide car bomb struck a convoy of U.S. military vehicles in Kabul on Friday, killing at least 10 people and wounding 17, police said. Two American soldiers were among the dead and two others among the wounded, the U.S. military said.

The blast, which took place near the U.S. Embassy in the Afghan capital, tore a military vehicle into two burning chunks and scattered debris and body parts over a 50-yard radius.

It rattled windows throughout the downtown area and sent a plume of brown smoke spiraling into the sky.

Eight Afghan civilians were killed and 15 were wounded, said Interior Ministry spokesman Yousef Stanezai."

"Gaza is a jail. Nobody is allowed to leave."

"Special report: The Israeli siege of the Palestinian enclave is so tight that its people are on the edge of starvation. As Tony Blair prepares to go to the Middle East, the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza becomes more desperate by the day. Today we investigate a tragedy the world has ignored."

and another article states in The Independent:

"Blair told he is not welcome in Ramallah"

"Hundreds of Palestinians including politicians and intellectuals have told Tony Blair they do not want him to visit Palestinian areas on his visit to the Middle East this weekend because of his excessive support for Israel."
