Last week, ACLU affiliates in 24 states filed over 255 public records requests with law enforcement agencies and National Guard offices to determine the extent to which federal funding and support has fueled the militarization of state and local police departments. We have been struck by the massive outpouring of public support for this campaign - thank you! Alongside our public records request, we would really like to hear from you - the public - about ways that the militarization of police departments is impacting you and your neighborhoods.

There are more than five times as many vacant homes in the U.S. as there are homeless people, according to Amnesty International USA. Since 2007, banks have shuttered about 8 million American houses, almost doubling the previous number, while 3.5 million homeless shiver in the cold.

I'm in the process of writing an article for the 10 year disaster that is known as "anniversary of the war in Iraq" and a few things came to mind. I took a break and was looking around facebook at some photos of Iraqi, Afghan and Palestinian children throwing rocks at occupying soldiers. Let me explain why and HOW those photos promote a horrible idea.

1) People posting them from the safety of their computer clearly do not understand the danger of a child throwing a rock at an occupying soldier with a loaded weapon. ( Usually that's when the soldier either mistakes it for some type of explosive device and shoots the child or it gives the soldier a reason to shoot the child and everyone around them)

2) There are much more resilient and effective forms of resistance than praising children throwing rocks at soldiers. The promotion of this type of " resistance" results in the tragic murder of these children.

3) Encouraging children to throw rocks at occupying soldiers is not only irresponsible but completely idiotic. I am all for the will of the people to resist occupation but promoting the idea that children throwing rocks is somehow a "good idea" really shows how disconnected some people are from the reality of war/occupation.

I remember when children were throwing rocks at me and I remember the briefings prior to deployment. I remember being told insurgents will use children to attack US troops. ( Which they did. They paid a child one day to push a refrigerator full of explosives to a school and detonated it in front of the elementary school while the child was still pushing it.)

Just my thoughts on it as I write this article on Iraq. Not intended towards anyone what so ever.

Thoughts on the issue are encouraged.

Have a safe Saint Patricks day weekend!

right on... something not even discussed in the article is that war traumatises the generations who suffer it... and ptsd physically rewires the brain in unpleasant ways...
as such, families who have never had a problem with domestic violence, might now struggle with it, because many who suffer from ptsd have anger management problems (this counts for the women as much for the men and the children)
physical abuse goes up markedly in both war torn and refugee populations

People will die unless the administration wakes up to its responsibility to free the 86 men (out of 166 in total) who have been cleared for release for years, but are still held, and President Obama revisits his failed promise to close the prison.

"Today is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre, in which American soldiers slaughtered over 500 unarmed women, children, and old men. Only lowly Lt. Calley was ever disciplined for this horrific crime, he served a short, comfortable sentence near his home. No generals, colonels, majors, or capatains were ever punished. Compare: Kim Rivera refused to take part any longer in the massacre inflicted by Americans forces on the Iraqi people. She will be court martialled on April 29."

Ngày này, 16/3 năm 1968: Thảm sát Mỹ Lai.

Thảm sát Mỹ Lai hay thảm sát Sơn Mỹ là một tội ác chiến tranh của Lục quân Hoa Kỳ gây ra trong thời gian Chiến tranh Việt Nam. Cuộc tấn công nằm trong chiến dịch tìm và diệt Tiểu Đoàn 48 phe miền Bắc . Tuy nhien đơn vị này không được tìm thấy, cũng không có một phát súng nào bắn vào quân đội Hoa Kỳ trong cả ngày hôm đó.

Vào ngày 16 tháng 3 năm 1968 tại khu vực thôn Mỹ Lai thuộc làng Sơn Mỹ, huyện Sơn Tịnh, tỉnh Quảng Ngãi, các đơn vị lính Lục quân Hoa Kỳ đã thảm sát hàng loạt 504 dân thường không có vũ khí, trong đó phần lớn là phụ nữ và trẻ em.

Trước khi bị sát hại, nhiều người trong số các nạn nhân còn bị cưỡng bức, quấy rối, tra tấn, đánh đập hoặc cắt xẻo các bộ phận trên cơ thể.

Vài người được cứu thoát nhờ chuẩn uý Hugh Thompson, lúc đó đang bay tuần tra trên trực thăng. Chiếc trực thăng của phi đội Thompson hạ cánh và cứu được khoảng từ 12 đến 16 người trong căn hầm. Thompson sau đó đã báo cáo lại những gì anh nhìn thấy cho chỉ huy của mình, thiếu tá Watke, trong báo cáo Thompson đã dùng những cụm từ như "murder" (giết người) và "needless and unnecessary killings" (sát hại vô cớ và không cần thiết).

Báo cáo của Thompson được các phi công và phi đội khác xác nhận. Năm 1998 tại thủ đô Washington D.C., ba cựu sĩ quan thuộc phi đội Thompson gồm chỉ huy phi đội Glenn Andreotta, phi công Hugh Thompson và xạ thủ Lawrence Colburn đã được trao tặng Soldier's Medal (Huy chương Chiến sĩ) vì hành động ngăn cản đồng đội giết dân thường.

Vụ việc đã bị che giấu cho tới cuối năm 1969 và ngoại trừ một chỉ huy cấp trung đội thì không có bất cứ sĩ quan hay binh lính Hoa Kỳ nào bị kết tội sau vụ thảm sát này.

That's because Google arbitrarily, on its own, and for reasons unknown, names Persian Gulf, 'Arabian Gulf'. They can do that? No. And "Mother Jones" has sent Google a letter stating that the “Arabian Gulf” name is wrong. The term “Arabian Gulf” was once used as reference to what is known as the Red Sea, a description of a completely different body of water, rendering as grossly misleading its reintroduction as a variant of the Persian Gulf.
-- The Mother Jones letter continues, "Historically, the accuracy of the term Persian Gulf is undisputed. Several legal documents from the United Nations as well as the United States Board of Geographic Names confirm the legitimacy of the term, as do centuries of classical history, including a reference to the body of water by Greek geographer and astronomer Ptolemy as the Aquarius Persico. The Persian Gulf has been known and recognized as such for more than 2,500 years."

Quote from article: In addition, although the five governments officially reject the use of the term Persian Gulf--as do other Arab governments--and refer to that body of water as the Arabian Gulf, the authors followed the practice of the United States Board on Geographic Names by using Persian Gulf or gulf.

FEBRUARY 2013 - UNICEF report concludes that the ill-treatment of children who come in contact with the Israeli military detention system is widespread, systematic and institutionalized throughout the process, from the moment of arrest until the child’s prosecution and eventual conviction and sentencing.

For several years, national lawyers, human rights organizations, United Nations experts and treaty bodies have reported ill treatment of children who come in contact with the Israeli military detention system. Following an increasing number of allegations of ill-treatment of children , UNICEF conducted its review of practices related to children who come into contact with the military detention system, from apprehension, to court proceedings and outcome.

In no other country are children systematically tried by juvenile military courts that, by definition, fall short of providing the necessary guarantees to ensure respect for their rights. All children prosecuted for offences they allegedly committed should be treated in accordance with international juvenile justice standards, which provide them with special protection. Most of these protections are enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The paper concludes with 38 specific recommendations grouped under 14 broad headings designed to improve the protection of children in line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international laws, norms and standards. All children in contact with judicial systems should be treated with dignity and respect at all times.
