Two prisoners died while undergoing US torture in Afghanistan

A spokesman for the air base confirmed that the official cause of death of the two men was "homicide", contradicting earlier accounts that one had died of a heart attack and the other from a pulmonary embolism.

The men's death certificates, made public earlier this week, showed that one captive, known only as Dilawar, 22, from the Khost region, died from "blunt force injuries to lower extremities complicating coronary artery disease" while another captive, Mullah Habibullah, 30, suffered from blood clot in the lung that was exacerbated by a "blunt force injury".

Torture - How to determine if you are lawful good or chaotic evil. How dare you, Mr. Bush!

You do not have the evidence. You do not have UN approval. You do not have your country's support. You do not have your party's support. You do not have the legal right. You do not have the moral right. You must not drag Britain into Bush's unjust and unnecessary war

San Antonio - Military Heart of Bush Country - has someone questioning the US Media War Machine while interviews on the street are very mixed on the war.

Meanwhile, North Korea has now threatened that New York, Washington and Chicago would be "aflame" if the US dares to attack anywhere in its territory.

Mall is trying to weasel out of T-shirt flap and fires security guard who reports he was following orders.

As a former security guard I wll support that you act under instructions from supervisors when a big flap develops. I also learned that it is easiest to let the lowest paid employees go even if they just follow orders from higher-ups who will not disciplined when a controversy develops. A controversy clearly developed when the mall had a man arrested for wearing a t-shirt that said "Peace on Earth" and "Give Peace a Chance" that he had bought in the mall.
