At the culmination of a gathering of global 'antiwar' groups in Istanbul to hold court on the liberation of Iraq led by the United States and the United Kingdom, the jurors who heard testimony against the liberators issued their findings which included a declaration of support for the terrorists in Iraq who are killing American, British and coalition soldiers and Iraqis.
The World Tribunal on Iraq is endorsed by leading leftwing organizations from around the world including American-based groups like Not in Our Name Project, United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink and International ANSWER.
The war on terror has reached a critical juncture. The left has publicly chosen sides with this announcement. There can be no more talk of 'we support the soldiers but not the war.' As Aloha Ronnie says, THE ENEMY IS WITHIN.
Here are two statements from the trbunal's announcement on Iraq:
10. There is widespread opposition to the occupation. Political, social, and civil resistance through peaceful means is subjected to repression by the occupying forces. It is the brutality of the occupation that has provoked a strong armed resistance and certain acts of desperation. By the principles embodied in the UN Charter and in international law, the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom.
AND
III. Recommendations
Recognising the right of the Iraqi people to resist the illegal occupation of their country and to develop independent institutions, and affirming that the right to resist the occupation is the right to wage a struggle for self-determination, freedom, and independence as derived from the Charter of the United Nations, we the Jury of Conscience declare our solidarity with the people of Iraq.
The Tribunal also calls for the world community to support the terrorists by denying aid to those fighting them in Iraq:
10. That people around the world resist and reject any effort by any of their governments to provide material, logistical, or moral support to the occupation of Iraq.
The tribunal betrays the bravery of the 8 million Iraqis who their cast their votes in January by declaring the elected government of Iraq illegitimate. The terrorists couldn't have said it better:
9. Any law or institution created under the aegis of occupation is devoid of both legal and moral authority. The recently concluded election, the Constituent Assembly, the current government, and the drafting committee for the Constitution are therefore all illegitimate.

Some of you may read this and say this is not news. As with last night's posting about Code Pink, the left has been trying keep under wraps their support for the terrorists. Now, they have boldy declared themselves to be on the side of the terrorists.
We knew this day would come after September 11. We just didn't know the day.
Here's AlJazeera's report on the World Tribunal on Iraq.
And The Gulf Times' take on the findings of the "Jury of Conscience."
And a Cuban newspaper's report on the Tribunal. It's also interesting to read some of Periodico26's other "news articles" about Cuba and Poppy Fidel.
Thanks for the ping!
Soooo ... it was a "fake but real" trial.
I wonder if it was comparable to the "fake" impeachment trial in the bathroom or closet, where ever it was, in the Capitol last week?
I think I'm gonna die from NOT surprise!
The Christian Right identifies with President Bush because he is a believer who does express strong Christian values.
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
Can we use RICO to seize the funds of these organizations? At least freeze their bank accounts?
I want history to forever highlight the way they sympathized with Islamonazi terrorists the way that Henry Ford, Charles Lindburgh, Erroll Flynn, and Joe Kennedy are linked to the Nazis.
Air America is the modern equivalent of broadcasts by "good" Americans like Axis Sally and Lord Haw Haw. Both were convicted of treason for their broadcasts from Nazi Germany.
Joyce was executed in England. Gillars was jailed for a number of years.
They did not violate "law" they violated the Constitution.
The only way to make what they did okay is to amend the Constitution.
The question remains, will Congress take up their Constitutional duty and convict these traitors and sever their support in America?
It is listed in the Constitution near impeachment.
Anarchist-socialism is a legit thing. It is not a "hybrid".
Anarchism is not a total absence of government.
There are books advocating it at http://www.akpress.org.
A freeper made the composite. The media (actually snooping trolls) exploited the parody and made sure that it got seen to discredit the real one.
Corbis refused to permit FR to even display the actual image by referenced link yet they did not stop liberal Snopes from displaying the image ON THEIR OWN SERVERS. I doubt they paid for the images.
What's more there IS NO copyright to the composite. No court ever awarded the composite to Corbis. They did not want it to be seen as it manipulated the photographer's work. However the creation of that "art" was not by Corbis. They do not own it and will not license its use. Yet you can find it on Snopes.
Liberals protect their own. The double standard exposed.
I know that Corbis was aware of the Snopes use of the images because I am the one who tipped off their legal team. Snopes added a credit of the image but still have numerous violations of use.
The only time they ever seemed to get ticked was when the UN offices got bombed in Iraq.
But it was the Michael Moore type outrage of "Why would you destroy the WTC? Those people voted for Gore!"
Do you realize how totally ignorant these people are ? How blind to reality.I could just imagine what these idiots are like , brainwashed morons of the highest order.If they support terrorist who want me dead then I wish these people would somehow identitfy themselves in public so I could know who they are..Love to have a nice little "conversation " with them.An anti war group that supports terrorist who kill civilians..Ok that makes sense..
There were Americans actively working with Stalin's Soviet Union in the 1940s and 1950s.
There were also Red Dupe commies who believed in Communism but did not know or refused to accept that they were being manipulated by the Soviets.
In Boston the commie shop had shirts proclaiming love of Mao on display in the window after the Tiananmen Square massacre.
They support evil and embrace it.
Ask Brian if you can yell "fire" in a crowded movie theater.
Ask Brian if a judge can refer to a defendant as "nigger" while sitting on the bench at a trial.
There ARE limits on what a person can say.
Then again, Brian probably is not aware that Senator Sheets Byrd (former KKK Kleegle) still uses the n-word and defended his right to do so on cable television. He claims it is "okay" because there are "white niggers" too.
Yea , this story needs to be blown up all over the place..People need to know who the enemy really is ..
I cant believe the amount of morons we have in the country .Thousands who wish for their own demise and haven't the brains for self preservation.
Don't kid yourself . There is no such thing as treason in the US anymore. ANYTHING , and I mean ANYTHING goes.
