According to Reuters...
In response to attacks on communities in the Niger Delta by the Nigerian army, units of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta moved into Delta State yesterday to commence an attack on installations, along with kidnapping and killing.

The rebels identified their 5 captives as three Americans, a Briton, two Egyptians, a Filipino and two Thais and warned that they planned to step up their war on the oil industry in retaliation for government air strikes, in regards to Saturday's attack followed a week in which the Nigerian military carried out two air strikes against barges used by the militants to smuggle stolen crude.
In a statement emailed from an address used by the militia, the group also claimed to have severely damaged the export terminal, a major pipeline manifold and a gas pipeline supplying energy to Lagos, and that is in besides the 5 military solider killed in the platform attack.

*** OIL ***

Last month, the same gang had kidnapped four foreign oil workers and held them for 19 days, demanding that two ethnic Ijaw leaders be released from jail and that Shell pay $1.5 billion to the tribe. They released the two, but didn't pay, the group and its allies also attacked a number of oil facilities, killing at least 22 soldiers and police in two assaults, and blew up a major pipeline.

Shell's production was already down by 106,000 barrels per day when the latest violence broke out and the company has closed four of its oil flow stations in the western delta because of security fears.

Wow... Blood For Oil is right!

Now Playing: NSA is spying for BUSHMAN. As they keep secrets The US People are being duped
Topic: CIVIL RIGHTS


(quote from Newsweek)
The sessions were apparently not very revealing. Even congressional leaders who had been briefed all along on the NSA program have complained to NEWSWEEK that they were largely kept in the dark about the real workings of the program.


There has been some talk about getting a new law specifically to authorize the NSA's warrantless eavesdropping. Gonzales told the Senate Judiciary Committee that a "bipartisan group of leaders" was consulted in 2004 about whether a new law was needed—and the "consensus" was that legislation couldn't be written without exposing secret taps. But contacted by NEWSWEEK, Rep. Peter Hoekstra said the issue never came up when he was briefed by Vice President Cheney after he became GOP chair of the House
Intelligence Committee in August 2004. Three Democratic leaders briefed on the program that year—Rep. Jane Harman, Sen. Jay Rockefeller and former Senate minority leader Tom Daschle—recalled no discussion of a new law. "I'm confident it never occurred," said Daschle. On the other hand, Roberts did recall discussing new legislation. No transcript was made and members were not allowed to take notes or consult with aides afterward, making it all but impossible to establish exactly what was said.

ITS TIME TO SHUT DOWN THE USA TORTURE CAMP

*************************************************
***************** - GITMO VIDEO HERE - *********************

GENEVA - The United States should shut down the prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay and either release all detainees being held there or bring them to trial, the United Nations said in a report released Thursday

The United States is holding about 500 men at the U.S. naval base on the southeastern tip of Cuba, so far only 10 have been charged since the detention camp opened in January 2001.
Five U.N. experts had sought invitations from the United States to visit Guantanamo since 2002. Three were invited last year, but refused to go in November after being told they could not interview detainees

A United Nations inquiry has called for the Immediate Closure of America's Guantanamo Bay detention center and the prosecution of officers and politicians "up to the highest level" who are accused of torturing detainees.

Compelete article here --> --> HERE <--

Guantanamo is so bad, that prisoners, as many as 84 at one time, were on a hunger strike. That caused the US Military to force feed them by shoving tubes into there stomachs to keep them alive. It was sick how they did it, yet they called it legal and human ...something about preserving life?
The latest I have heard is the strike has ended.

Now Playing: Hey Z3 Readers Let Me ADVISE you
Topic: CIVIL RIGHTS
(the following article is copied from the christian monitor, only a part of the article has been copied)

The US government is developing a massive computer system that can collect huge amounts of data and, by linking far-flung information from blogs and e-mail to government records and intelligence reports, search for patterns of terrorist activity.

The core of this effort is a little-known system called Analysis, Dissemination, Visualization, Insight, and Semantic Enhancement [ADVISE]. Only a few public documents mention it. ADVISE is a research and development program within the Department of Homeland Security [DHS], part of its three-year-old "Threat and Vulnerability, Testing and Assessment" portfolio.
The TVTA received nearly $50 million in federal funding this year.
The system - parts of which are operational, parts of which are still under development - is already credited with helping to foil some plots.[sic] It is the federal government's latest attempt to use broad data-collection and powerful analysis in the fight against terrorism. But by delving deeply into the digital minutiae of American life, the program is also raising concerns that the government is intruding too deeply into citizens' privacy

What sets ADVISE apart is its scope. It would collect a vast array of corporate and public online information - from financial records to CNN news stories - and cross-reference it against US intelligence and law-enforcement records. The system would then store it as "entities" - linked data about people, places, things, organizations, and events, according to a report summarizing a 2004 DHS conference in Alexandria, Va.

"A PROGRAM IN THE SHADOWS"

Yet the scope of ADVISE - its stage of development, cost, and most other details - is so obscure that critics say it poses a major privacy challenge.
"We just don't know enough about this technology, how it works, or what it is used for," says Marcia Hofmann of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. "It matters to a lot of people that these programs and software exist. We don't really know to what extent the government is mining personal data."
Even congressmen with direct oversight of DHS, who favor data mining, say they don't know enough about the program.
"It isn't a bad idea, but you have to do it in a way that demonstrates its utility - and with provable privacy protection," says Latanya Sweeney, founder of the Data Privacy Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University. But since speaking on privacy at the 2004 DHS workshop, she now doubts the department is building privacy into ADVISE. "At this point, ADVISE has no funding for privacy technology."
She cites a recent request for proposal by the Office of Naval Research on behalf of DHS. Although it doesn't mention ADVISE by name, the proposal outlines data-technology research that meshes closely with technology cited in ADVISE documents.
