Guantanamo Facility To Open
Mental Ward For Prisoners

Associated Press reports:
`
The psychiatric wing of about
35 cells will open this month
with a staff of psychiatrists,
psychologists and nurses....

Patients will be held in [8-
foot-by-7-foot] individual

prisoners will be shackled....
`
`
Below I present excerpts, for-
matted for readability, from
the Statement by
`
LEO ALEXANDER, MD
`
published in the 1949 book
`
DOCTORS OF INFAMY: the Story
of the Nazi Medical Crimes
`
`
Here's Dr Alexander's prelim-
inary remarks:
`
`
In the Summer of 1945, as an
officer in the United State
Army, it became my duty to in-
vestigate medical and research
activities carried out in Ge-
rmany during the war, particu-
larly in the field of diseases
of the nervous system and in
related fields of physiology.
`
I examined many documents, re-
cords and reports.
`
I saw the concentration camps
with their dispensaries and
laboratories.
`
I interrogated surviving wit-
nesses, culprits and others.
`
I embodied my findings in a
number of official reports
and [in] contributions to
scientific journals.
`
In 1946 I returned to Nurem-
berg as a Consultant to the
Secretary of War, on duty with
the Office of the Chief of
Counsel for War Crimes. I
served into the following year
and had a chance to acquaint
myself still more thoroughly
with the subject matter of
this book [= DOCTORS OF IN-
FAMY].
`
I can therefore vouch for the
authenticity of the documents
it includes and for the truth
and accuracy of virtually all
the statements made.
`
`
Now Dr Alexander gets down to
the substance of the matter:
`
`
Science under dictatorship
becomes subordinated to the
guiding philosophy of the
dictatorship.
`
"Rational utility" and cor-
responding doctrine and plan-
ning replace moral, ethical,
and religious values.
`
Nazi propaganda was highly
effective in perverting public
opinion and public conscience
in a remarkably short time.
In the medical profession this
expressed itself in a rapid
decline in standards of pro-
fessional ethics.
`
****
`
The experiments performed in
concentration camps
represented not merely a ruth-
less and callous pursuit of
legitimate scientific goals.
`
An important feature is that
they were motivated by sini-
ster, practical, ulterior pol-
itical and personal purposes,
arising out of the require-
ments and problems in the ad-
ministration of totalitarian
rule.
`
****
`
These cases [of careerism]
illustrate an important ele-
ment of motivation, familiar
in ordinary crime and apply-
ing equally to war crimes and
crimes against humanity.
`
Fear and cowardice --especi-
ally fear of punishment or
ostracism by the group-- are
often more important motives
than simple ferocity or ag-
gressiveness.
`
The archcrime to which the SS
was committed was the genocide
of non-German peoples and the
elimination by killing, in
groups or singly, of Germans
who were considered useless or
disloyal.
`
In effecting this twofold pro-
gram Himmler demanded and re-
ceived the cooperation of phy-
sicians and of German medical
science.
`
I have proposed the term
"ktenology," the science of
killing, for this trend of
Nazi research.
`
In the course of ktenological
research, methods of mass kil-
ling and mass sterilization
were investigated and develop-
ed, as well as
`
methods for rapid and incon-
spicuous individual execution.
`
****
`
The triumph along this line --
a method that would produce
autopsy findings indicative of
death from natural causes--
was the development of intra-
venous injectionss of a
suspension of live tubercle
bacilli, which brought on
acute miliary tuberculosis
within a few weeks.
`
As a means of further camou-
flage, so that the SS at large
would not suspect the purpose
of these experiments, prelim-
inary tests on the efficacy of
this method were performed ex-
clusively on children at the
Neuengamme concentration camp.
`
****
`
Whatever methods he used, the
physician gradually became the
unofficial executioner, for
the sake of convenience, infor-
mality, and relative secrecy.
`
Medical science has always been
an instrument of military pow-
er, in that it preserves the
health and fighting efficiency
of troops. This essentially
defensive purpose is not in-
consistent with the ethical
principles of medicine.
`
As long ago as the first
World War, however, the German
empire enlisted medical sci-
ence as an instrument of ag-
gressive military power by
putting it to use in the
development of gas warfare.
`
It was left to the Nazi dicta-
torship to make medical science
into an instrument of political
power, a formidable, essential
tool in the complete and effec-
tive manipulation of totalitar-
ian control.
`
This should be a warning to all
civilized nations, and particu-
larly to those individuals who
are blinded by the "efficiency"
of totalitarian government,
`
UNDER WHATEVER NAME.

`
`
You of course took special
notice of--
`
Fear and cowardice --especi-
ally fear of punishment or
ostracism by the group-- are
often more important motives
than simple ferocity or ag-
gressiveness.
`
`
From the Reuters newsstory:
`
"Steven Miles of the Universi-
ty of Minnesota's Center for
Bioethics said medical organi-
zations had been reluctant to
speak out for fear of aliena-
ting politicians whose support
they need on issues such as
malpractice reform, but the
flow of news from Guantanamo
had forced their hand.
`
"'There's enough smoke now to
suggest that bad things are
happening,' he said."

Now?

Abramoff Legerdemain
POLITICAL ESSAYS Abramoff Legerdemain ` ` Writing about World War 1 --the so-called Great War-- Winston Churchill detailed what "is re- quired for the composition of a great commander" [1]: ` "not only massive common sense and reasoning power, not only imagination, ` but also an element of legerde- main, an original and sinister touch, which leaves the enemy puzzled as well as beaten." ` ` Abramoff's not a great comman- der, but a February 23d Boston Globe newsstory [2] indicates he may have served a leader whose legerdemain resulted in a major military defeat for The Superpower on September 11, 2001. ` "A subpoena in the case,...says the US government is seeking information on Abramoff-related activities with 'any depart- ment, ministry, or office hold- er or agent of the Russian gov- ernment.'" ` "The subpoena seeks information about ties between Abramoff-re- lated groups and a Moscow ener- gy giant that is called Nafta- sib, a major supplier to the Russian military." ` "Senior Naftasib executives helped arrange a trip Abramoff took to Moscow in 1997 with... Tom DeLay, a longtime Abramoff friend." ` 1997? That's b-e-f-o-r-e 2001. ` "...a key connection between Abramoff and Russia is an ob- scure Dutch firm called Voor Huisen. "Voor Huisen was one of Abram- off's biggest clients, paying $2.1 million in lobbying fees to Abramoff and his partners from 2001 to 2004.... ` "...there has been no explana- tion as to why the company had paid such large fees...." ` "...several of Abramoff's form- er partners...said...they were told the Dutch company was con- nected to Naftasib executives." ` "...reports that Abramoff filed said he lobbied for Voor Huisen on matters ranging ` from aviation safety [!] ` to disaster preparedness [!!] ` to unspecified issues 'pertain- ing to defense and security.' [!!!]." ` "In addition to being a lobby- ist, Abramoff registered in 1999 as a foreign agent." ` 1999? That's b-e-f-o-r-e 2001. ` ` From my 2002 essay "There's Always A Way" [3]: ` [Russia] showed the 911 heroes exactly how it could be done; and coughed up the green to get it done. ` Since Russia has enough nukes to blow up the world, the Wash- ington cowards decided to blame it on "bin Laden." ` ` ` ` [1] Page 498 of volume 1 of Churchill's multivolume sur- vey of *The Great War.* ` [2] ` February 23, 2006 Boston Globe Abramoff ties to Russians probed ` http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/02/23/abramoff_ties_to_russians_probed?mode=PF ` [3] ` http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PoliticalEssays/message/671 ` `

The Declaration Of War – Part 2
POLITICAL ESSAYS The Declaration Of War - Part 2 ` ` Thursday, February 23, 2006 Associated Press [1] Mosque Bombing an 'Evil Act,' Bush Says ` "...speaking at a political fund- raiser in Indiana, Bush at first appeared to blame al-Qaida for the bombing, and then emphasized that it is unknown who was responsible. "'You want to know how tough al- Qaida is, just look at _ we don't know exactly who did the bombing ....'" ` The Liar finally gave up on his "al-Qaida" BS. Gee, wow. ` So The Liar replaced one lie with another: the cowardly "we don't know" lie. ` Don't worry, The Superpower knows the Shi'i mosque bombing --in a Sunni area north of Baghdad-- is a well-planned followup to Iran's earlier declaration of war. ` Earlier declaration of war? ` ` Excerpts from Part 1 [2]-- ` Friday, February 17, 2006 Reuters Iran calls on UK troops to pull out of Basra ` Reuters quotes Manouchehr Mot- taki, the foreign minister of Iran: ` "The Islamic Republic of Iran demands the immediate withdrawal of British forces from Basra." ` Basra's in a narrow strip of Iraq --squeezed between Iran and Kuwait-- that reaches the Per- sian Gulf. ` ` OK, back to Iran's followup. ` From Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Wednesday, 22 February 2006 [3]: ` "The Foreign Relations Department of the Iraq Regional Command of the Arab Baath Socialist Party issued a statement on Wednesday denouncing the criminal attack on the tomb of the Imam 'Ali al-Hadi and saying that the pro-Iranian Badr Brigades and the US were be- hind the attack." ` [Don't confuse Badr with Sadr. ` The Brigades (or Corps) are the military arm of the Supreme Coun- cil for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) headquartered in, not Iraq, but in Teheran, the capital of Iran. ` The Brigades fought alongside The Superpower troops invading Iraq. ` Baath --notice, two "a"s-- means resurrection (of independence).] ` "The Baath Party statement ex- plained: ` "The systematic escalation of differences between America and Iran have found their main poli- tical arena to be Iraq, because the most important group of agents of Iran are there; ` they are in power [= the puppet government set up by The Super- power] and are able thereby to use the blood of Iraqis...to exert pressure on America. ` "Iran has laid out a plan to em- broil America in the Iraqi morass to prevent it from obstructing Iran’s nuclear plans. ` "Particularly since America is eager to move on to completing arrangements for a withdrawal from Iraq, a part of which is the signing of binding agreements on oil and strategy. ` "America believes that without the participation of 'Sunni’ parties in the regime those ar- rangements will fail. ` "For that reason cutting Iran’s claws has become one of the im- portant requirements for the American arrangements. ` "This is a necessity that the American [ambassador] Zalmay [Khalilzad] openly spoke of re- cently when he declared that no sectarian would take control of the Ministries of the Interior or Defense in the new Iraqi puppet 'government’. ` "Similarly, America has begun to publish information that it formerly kept hidden regarding the crimes of the Badr Brigade and the 'Interior Ministry.’ ` "It is therefore in Iran’s in- terest to attack holy Shi'i Islamic tombs now because it seeks to rally the people of southern Iraq behind the Iranian position [in Iraq] and in defense of Iran through increased pres- sure on America in Iraq. ` "This is a difficult task for them since the vast majority of the people of southern Iraq know that Iran is planning to destroy Iraq and partition it, annexing southern Iraq to itself under the so-called 'federation’ scheme of 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Hakim [the leader of SCIRI]. ` "Therefore, they [= Iran's agents] have sensed an urgent need to re- gain some unity around their posi- tion among the southern Iraqi people, so as to subordinate them to Iran. ` "For this they required a crime the likes of which has not been committed before – namely an at- tack on a holy tomb in an area that is not predominantly Shi'i so that it could be blamed on the Sunnis, and be used to promote the rapid spread of the wildfire of sectarian strife, in order to guarantee Iran sufficient forces to keep America embroiled in Iraq and to reduce American pressure on Tehran. ` "This would also achieve one of the most important and oldest American goals in Iraq, namely splitting up the country." ` ` In other words, Iran's pressure on The Superpower includes candy to make that pressure palatable... ` That candy is what motivated The Liar's cowardly "we don't know" lie. ` ` There's more. ` "...the criminal attack on the tomb of the Imam 'Ali al-Hadi was carried out by the agents of Iran, supported by American in- terests, which consist in com- pelling 'Sunni’ groups to take part in their political opera- tion. ` "They [= the American interests] hope to reach this goal more speedily by putting more pressure on known Sunni groups by igniting a limited sectarian war." ` A limited sectarian war? ` That notion is what motivated polished Rice to warn "against characterizing the rising turmoil as a harbinger of civil war" [in AP's Mosque Bombing story]. ` ` You now may wonder who's beating whom in that already-declared ` IRAN - SUPERPOWER WAR. ` ` ` ` [1] ` http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/23/AR2006022300721_pf.html ` [2] ` http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PoliticalEssays/message/687 ` [3] ` http://iraqwar.mirror-world.ru/article/80581 ` `
