CIVILIAN DEATHS IN IRAQ NOW MORE THAN 1,000,000
	Click here to read about the Johns Hopkins/MIT Study...

I concentrate here on videos, pictures, and information
about casualties that we do not hear about.
We rarely see in the media the entire story of what is happening
over there, the horrific bombing and killing of civilians,
the bloodshed of children, men and women, the violence.
And we are not allowed to honor our own soldiers with a simple picture of a coffin,
so I include them here as well (acquired through the Freedom of Information Act by thememoryhole.org),
as well as pictures of the faces of those who have given their lives because
of the lies of the most corrupt regime we have ever had.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...

Pictures and Photo Essays

From the site below: "One of the family members who was looking for dead relatives, shared these photos which were taken from that book. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he told of what he saw in his village during the last few weeks.
The Americans shot every boat on the river because people were trying to escape Fallujah by the river. They shot all the sheep, any animal people owned was shot. Helicopters shot all the animals and anything that moved in all the villages surrounding Fallujah during the fighting.
He said that none of the roads into Fallujah, or around Fallujah were passable because anyone on them was shot.
I know one family that were all killed. There are no signs on these roads that tell people not to use them-so people don’t know they aren’t supposed to use them. No signs in English or Arabic!"

The Nausea
Pictures and videos from Iraq - "The nausea" is a non-profit project of different individuals all over the world. This is NOT a "politically correct" web. We do not share any particular political tendency except our rejection to violence in every way. We believe that getting close to first degree violence will avoid any patriotic or romantic fantasy about war. Children DO NOT have any nationality. They should not suffer. Their lives, our lives can never be replaced.

Photos of Military Coffins

Photos of Military Coffins at Dover Air Force Base
From The Memory Hole site:
"Since March 2003, a newly-enforced military regulation has forbidden taking or distributing images of caskets or body tubes containing the remains of soldiers who died overseas.

Immediately after hearing about this, I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the following:

All photographs showing caskets (or other devices) containing the remains of US military personnel at Dover AFB. This would include, but not be limited to, caskets arriving, caskets departing, and any funerary rites/rituals being performed. The timeframe for these photos is from 01 February 2003 to the present.

I specified Dover because they process the remains of most, if not all, US military personnel killed overseas. Not surpisingly, my request was completely rejected. Not taking 'no' for an answer, I appealed on several grounds, and - to my amazement - the ruling was reversed. The Air Force then sent me a CD containing 361 photographs of flag-draped coffins and the services welcoming the deceased soldiers.

Score one for freedom of information and the public's right to know."

Counts of Civilian and Military Casualties

Civilian Casualties & the Johns Hopkins/MIT Study

This is a good overview of the casualty study done by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad
This study concluded that approximately 600,000 people have died violently above the normal mortality rate. Including non-violent deaths that are linked to the war, the total is estimated to be more than 650,000.

This is the report (in pdf format) on the survey findings, methods and implications of the mortality study

Any serious effort to eradicate torture by the US empire would need to abolish the special forces, the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security (one of its top leaders is a veteran of the notorious "Phoenix Program" in Vietnam, a death squad / torture program run by the military and CIA), and the new National Intelligence office headed by John Negroponte (who helped the terrorist "Contra" war when he was ambassador to Honduras).

Depleted Uranium is "blowing in the wind"
US Government kills its own soldiers....and us....and lies....and signs deals.
Bob Dylan’s prophecy in "Blowing in the wind" has eventually come true. The most powerful killing machine on earth-the US government-has unleashed a weapon that is slowly killing its own troops, its own civilians....and civilians the world over. And we are still unable to look beyond the joke that our media is.

"Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD.
But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy." AfterDowningStreet.org is a coalition of veterans' groups, peace groups, and political activist groups, which launched on May 26, 2005, a campaign to urge the U.S. Congress to begin a formal investigation into whether President Bush has committed impeachable offenses in connection with the Iraq war.
