I have a lot of respect for him. He was a photographer who always put himself in harms way to get the photo. He was one of the first to break the story of the Halabja massacre in N. Iraq. He died in N. Iraq in the latest Iraq War. Here is his pictory narrated by his wife on the Iranian Revolution.

According to a recent article published in the American Free Press weekly, the revelation that the cousin of alleged 9/11 hijacker Ziad al-Jarrah was in fact working as a longtime Mossad agent is proof that Israel had a hand in the terror attacks on US soil.

I call’d the devil, and he came, And with wonder his form did I closely scan; He is not ugly, and is not lame, But really a handsome and charming man. A man in the prime of life is the devil, Obliging, a man of the world, and civil; A diplomatist too, well skill’d in debate, politics, yea, the devil I call’d and he came, to devour my soul, and the whole of humanity”. – Heinrich Heine.
On November 4, 2008, the world watched as Americans filed into polling booths to decide who should be the next occupant of the White House. The excitement of the elections veiled the removal of the single most important choice: the option to cancel the neoconservatives’ lease on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
In the absence of that choice, “change†is continuity in the White House. President Obama’s actions belie candidate Obama’s speeches and give meaning to Jacob Heilbrunn’s words who wrote: “Don’t look now, but neoconservatism is making a comeback-and not among the Republicans who have made it famous, but in the Democratic Partyâ€[i].
Mr. Obama’s cabinet has been carefully selected and ready to serve the neocon agenda. Worthy of mention are his Vice President Joseph Biden, and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. These two had the support of the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI); a self-described think-tank of the Democratic Leadership Council[ii]whose president Will Marshall released a volume of doctrine called “With All Our Might: A Progressive Strategy for Defeating Jihadism and Defending Libertyâ€. This book was warmly received by non other than the Weekly Standard (May 22, 2006).
The Weekly Standard was set up by Rupert Murdoch (recognized by the US for his support of Israel and the Jewish Congress of New York voted him “Communication Man of the Yearâ€) and it has ran at a loss from its inception but Murdoch has kept it in circulation to enable such neocons as William Kristol to be given the platform on Fox as credible experts. The pro-Iraq war candidate Hillary’s willingness to “obliterate” 70 million Iranians added to her credentials as Madame Secretary. In her new role, she seems more keen that Cheney to continue on the path of destruction in order to serve Israel. Other members include Chief of Staff and the son of an Israeli terrorist, Rahm Israel Emanuel, pro-Israel Dennis Ross, Richard Holbrooke, and the list goes on.
