London Times: Iraq Families Live In Fear Of Midnight Call By US Patrols
Never again did families in Baghdad imagine that they need fear the midnight knock at the door.
But in recent weeks there have been increasing reports of Iraqi men, women and even children being dragged from their homes at night by American patrols, or snatched off the streets and taken, hooded and manacled, to prison camps around the capital.
Children as young as 11 are claimed to be among those locked up for 24 hours a day in rooms with no light, or held in overcrowded tents in temperatures approaching 50C (122F).
On the edge of Baghdad International Airport, US military commanders have built a tent city that human rights groups are comparing to the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
Remarkably, the Americans have also set up another detention camp in the grounds of the notorious Abu Ghraib prison, west of Baghdad. Many thousands of Iraqis were taken there during the Saddam years and never seen again.

MEDIA WATCH
Asia Times: The power of silence
OSLO - "If the reality in Iraq is one thing and the reporting of it remains another, it is because much of the media want it that way," say two leading journalists who have earned reputations for reporting the "other" side of the Iraq story.
The level of self-censorship in the media has risen not just during the Iraq war but also since September 11, says Robert Fisk from The Independent newspaper published in Britain and John Pilger, Australian broadcaster and film maker.
Pilger and Fisk both spoke to Inter Press Service on visits to Oslo recently. Pilger was to receive the US$100,000 Sophie Prize for 30 years of work to expose deception and war against humanity. Fisk gave a lecture at Fritt Ord, a Norwegian media foundation.
"Propaganda is not found just in totalitarian states," Pilger said. "There at least they know they are being lied to. We tend to assume it is the truth. In the US, censorship is rampant."

Asia Times: In Iraq, 'v' doesn't stand for victory
Vietnam and Watergate are two overwhelming metaphors of the American political lexicon with which no sitting president wants any association. The first one is related to the United States's rather humiliating withdrawal from South Vietnam, and the second axiom epitomizes political corruption that led to the ignominious ouster of a president from office. That is one reason why the administration of President George W Bush is fighting an uphill battle to nip in the bud all the suggestions of similarities between its presence in Iraq and the Vietnamese imbroglio. But there are similarities, to be sure, and they are intensifying. Shadows of the ghosts of Vietnam are growing tall.

Pravda: Turkey Disgusted with Americans
Relations between Ankara and Washington have unexpectedly aggravated recently
This is said to be connected with an arrest of 11 Turkish servicemen by US military forces three days ago. It is reported that the people were plotting to assinate the governor of the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, a Kurd by nationality. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan had to settle the tension in relations between Turkey and the USA. The prime minister called actions of American military forces disgusting. On the whole, the situation looks rather strange indeed

ACEH
Sidney Morning Herald: Crushing Aceh rebels may take years, says chief
The Indonesian military has said its offensive against rebels in the north-western province of Aceh, supposed to last six months, will last much longer, perhaps 10 years.
The statement by the military's chief, General Endriartono Sutarto, to Indonesian reporters on Sunday followed the United States' first public rebuke of Indonesia over the war. A Bush Administration official urged President Megawati Soekarnoputri to end the nearly 30-year-old conflict.
But Washington's diplomacy - including meetings between a National Security Council official, Karen Brooks, and Ms Megawati, as well as one with General Sutarto - appears to have had little effect on the military's conduct in Aceh.

Pravda: Poland Acknowledges Oil Ambition in Iraq
Washington and London still hesitate to acknowledge the fact that the war in Iraq was launched because of oil. However, their true ally - Poland - does not see anything blameworthy about it. Polish Foreign Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz has recently stated that Poland has never concealed its aspiration to gain a direct access to oil deposits. Saddam is a tyrant and a monster, of course, but oil is much more important.

LA Times: Occupation's Ordeals Ravage Iraqi Psyche
BAGHDAD -- Iraqis think of it as the social security office. And as the court of civil complaints and the central police station. It also goes by the generic name "the Authority." A single American soldier was on duty at its side gate, sitting on a chair behind spools of barbed wire.
Ikbal Abbas Muhsen, a onetime employee of the Youth Ministry, called out to the soldier. "I need to talk to the general!" she said in Arabic. She had come to ask for her job back from the people now ruling Iraq: the U.S. officials installed at Saddam Hussein's old Republican Palace.
Muhsen had dressed in a black jacket for the occasion. The soldier, sitting a dozen feet away, seemed unaware of her presence.

Guardian: Secret aid poured into Colombian drug war
Continuing human rights abuses have not hindered flow of equipment and advice to Bogota
Britain is secretly stepping up military assistance to Colombia as the war on drug trafficking becomes increasingly entangled in the effort to defeat leftwing guerrillas and drive them back to the negotiating table.
Despite continuing reports of serious abuses by the security forces and the concerns of human rights groups about President Alvaro Uribe's tactics, Tony Blair has encouraged the Foreign Office to hold an international conference on support for Colombia, beginning today.
Whitehall refuses to disclose the extent of British military involvement on the grounds of national security. "We provide some military aid but we don't talk about the details," a Foreign Office spokeswoman said.

CAPITALISM
Guardian: The lost decade
They were promised a brighter future, but in the 1990s the world's poor fell further behind
Taking issue with those who have argued that the "tough love" policies of the past two decades have spawned the growth of a new global middle class, the report says the world became ever more divided between the super-rich and the desperately poor.
The richest 1% of the world's population (around 60 million) now receive as much income as the poorest 57%, while the income of the richest 25 million Americans is the equivalent of that of almost 2 billion of the world's poorest people. In 1820 western Europe's per capita income was three times that of Africa's; by the 90s it was more than 13 times as high.
The poster children of the 1990s are among those who didn't do terribly well," he said. "There are structural restraints on development. Market reforms are not enough. You can't just liberalise; you need an interventionist strategy."
Economic growth alone would not rescue the world from poverty, the report said. "Without addressing issues like malnutrition and illiteracy that are both causes and symptoms of poverty, the goals will not be met.

Guardian: US forces attacked in Falluja
US forces in Iraq came under renewed attack today as insurgents in the troubled town of Falluja fired two rocket-propelled grenades at a US-occupied building.
The US army and police in the town, which is 35 miles west of Baghdad, said that there were no injuries.
Iraqi police lieutenant Iyad Abed said that one of the grenades exploded in the air, with the second landing on the street outside a building being used by US troops.
The Qatar-based al-Jazeera satellite station reported a second skirmish in Falluja, during which a US patrol came under fire.

common dreams: Are We Committing War Crimes in Iraq? by by Dennis Jett
The Bush administration is doing some serious diplomatic arm-twisting to ensure that Americans do not fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Washington is threatening to cut off aid to dozens of our allies, including countries that supported our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, if they don't go along with an exemption for Americans.
The administration argues that American troops must be protected from politically motivated prosecutions by the court, which came into being a year ago.
Another reason may be that the highest officials in Washington don't want to worry about being tried themselves

SPAIN
WSWS: Spain: Madrid threatens withdrawal of Basque autonomy
Relations between the Spanish government in Madrid and the local government of the Basque Autonomous Region have worsened since the recent local elections.
Madrid has threatened to suspend the region’s autonomy for the first time since it was granted under the 1979 Constitution. Criminal charges have been filed against members of the Basque parliament.
The tension has been mounting for some time. The Basque region has been used by the Popular Party (PP) government of Jose-Maria Aznar as a test bed for a widespread assault on democratic rights. Aznar’s active support for the American-led onslaught against Iraq alienated him from a large part of the Spanish population (up to 91 percent opposed the war). He had also been an enthusiastic supporter of the post-September 11 “War on Terror,” seeing in it an opportunity to suppress finally the Basque separatist terror group).
Repression against Basque separatist parties has been mounting steadily. Last year’s Political Parties Law allows the state to ban any political party that “supports,” “justifies” or “covers” for terrorists. (Significantly, application of this law is not restricted to the Basque region.)

straitstimes: Guerilla attacks spreading to Western civilian targets
BAGHDAD - Rogue Iraqi elements have killed a British journalist and attacked a United Nations compound, raising fears that Iraqi insurgents are widening their targets from coalition troops to Westerners in general.
With three more United States soldiers killed in separate incidents over the past two days, some US military officials are worried that such attacks on foreigners will hamper news gathering and humanitarian efforts.
British journalist Richard Wild, who arrived in the country two weeks ago to be a war correspondent, showed no outward signs of being a reporter.
Around midday on Saturday, he was killed by a single pistol shot fired into the base of his skull at close range, colleagues said.
On the same day, insurgents also fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the UN's International Organisation for Migration office in Mosul, 386km north-west of Baghdad.

JERUSALEM - A Palestinian spokesman has rejected as 'insufficient' Israel's decision on Sunday to consider the release of some 350 Palestinian prisoners, warning instead of a resumption of violence unless all 6,000 prisoners held in Israeli jails were freed.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon rejected the demand. 'There is no way that prisoners with blood on their hands will be released,' he said.
Officials of the militant Hamas and Islamic Jihad said that if Israel does not release all of its prisoners, they would consider ending the ceasefire they agreed to last week.

Independent: 'Easter egg hunt' for WMD is abandoned
When the first American soldiers advanced through Iraq in March, every warehouse with bags of pesticide was eagerly examined in case they might be weapons of mass destruction.
"I can't get hold of any American officers because they are all out trying to win promotion by being the first to find WMD," said a Kurdish official in exasperation just after the fall of Mosul. "It is like a giant Easter egg hunt."
The search now is much more muted. US officers are more worried about the escalating guerrilla war. The Iraqi opposition, which in exile found no difficulty in passing on information about Saddam Hussein's stocks of WMD to intelligence agencies and journalists, has lost interest.

IRAQI RESITANCE
Independent: Shootings of three US soldiers mark escalation of resistance
Three American soldiers were killed in separate attacks in Iraq in the last 24 hours amid signs that many Iraqis approve of the killing of the occupying soldiers.
One died in a firefight late last night Sunday after two armed men opened fire on a US Army convoy. In the second incident, insurgents threw a homemade bomb at another convoy early today killing a soldier. Both were from the 1st Armored Division, the Germany-based division which is charged with occupying Baghdad.
In the third incident a soldier was shot in the neck and killed yesterday as he queued to buy a soft drink at Baghdad University. An Iraqi man came up to him and said "Hello mister", drew a pistol from his pocket and fired.
Paul Bremer, the US chief administrator in Baghdad, has blamed remnants of the old regime who are still loyal to Saddam Hussein. He said they were "desperate men" who had no place in the new Iraq.
– very soon – a guerrilla resistance must start. No doubt the Americans will claim that these attacks are "remnants" of Saddam's regime or "criminal elements". But that will not be the case. Robert Fisk, 17. April 2003

"Extensive and prompt cooperation from the U.S. government, the Congress, state and local agencies, and private firms is essential," according to the interim report by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.
