If corruption continues Afghanistan aid will be dropped
Calcutta News.Net Sunday 15th November, 2009
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has told ABC News that Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai must do more to fight corruption from within.
Ms Clinton said the Afghan government will need to establish a major crimes tribunal and an anti-corruption commission if it wants continued civilian aid from Washington.
Considering last month's fraud-tainted elections, she said any anti-corruption declaration from Mr Karzai would need to include a no impunity clause for corrupt Afghan officials.
Any US civilian aid sent to Afghanistan would need to be handled by government ministries that can be held accountable, she said.
Ms Clinton told the ABC that Washington was only in Afghanistan to defeat al-Qaeda and had no long term plans to build a modern Afghan democracy. Email this story to a friend

Isn't possible
You got clinton trying to pin responsibility and credibility on Karzai, that is the first problem. Second you have a country that is built on corruption, it is bread into these idiots. Thirdly, there is not accountability among the lot of them. Close the coffers, stop the hand outs, let the bastards starve.

The Afghan people should sieze the moment and tell Clinton two things:
1. “We want nothing to do with Israeli/USA “aid”,
2. Get the f_ _ k out of our country or else!
Foreign “aid” and “missionaries” are nothing more than spearhead points to slime into a country, steal that country’s natural resources, and indoctrinate their people into predatory capitalist slavery.

⢠Documents confirm that the CIA knew that the Jesuit priest EllacurÃa was going to be killed
Jean-Guy Allard
THE U.S. State Department, the CIA, and the Spanish intelligence services (the old CESID), all knew that the Jesuit priest, Ignacio EllacurÃa, rector of the Central American University (UCA), and five of his colleagues were going to be killed by a death squad from the Salvadoran Army.
That has been confirmed in the Sunday edition of the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, citing a series of

cut offs from the previous post!...
'recently declassified' U.S. intelligence documents to be handed over to the Spanish courts.
The revelation further supports information indicating how CIA agent Carlos Alberto Montaner, who was stationed in Madrid, was well-informed about the conspiracy when he directly threatened EllacurÃa a few days before the horrendous crime.
It also fits perfectly with the theory that international terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, then a CIA agent and high official in the repressive Salvadoran apparatus, was involved in the plot. Carriles is currently being protected in the United States with the complacency of U.S. authorities.
The military death squad burst into UCA in the early hours of November 16, 1989, surprising the six Jesuits who were asleep. They ordered them to get up and then took them outside, where they were all shot in the back of the head.
Fathers EllacurÃa, Armando López, Juan Ramón Moreno, Ignacio MartÃn-Baró, Segundo Montes and JoaquÃn López, all professors at the institution and defenders of liberation theology, were victims of constant attacks by ultra-fascists from the ARENA party, whose representatives are still active on the Salvadoran political stage.
Elba Julia Ramos, the priestâs housekeeper, and her 15-year-old daughter Celina were also victims of the massacre.
Monday, November 16 is the 20th anniversary of the murder while, in neighboring Honduras, the same class of Central Americans who continually sowed terror 20 years ago with CIA and the State Department support, have seized power.
Some of the material authors of the massacre were sentenced to 30 yearsâ imprisonment in January 1992, but were scandalously given amnesty barely 14 months later, in April 1993.
The Spanish El Mundo reports that a series of documents from U.S. intelligence services have been declassified and will be given to the Spanish National Court, in Madrid, where charges have been filed for 'those responsible for that slaughter.'
'In the papers to be handed over to Spain, there is information that directly documents the fact that Colonel Milton MenjÃvar, military chief of the U.S. embassy in El Salvador and a high U.S. State Department official were aware of what the Salvadoran army was plotting against the UCA rector,' El Mundo notes.
'According to analysts consulted by this newspaper, it can be deduced from studying these declassified documents that CESID also had this knowledge or was looking at the same information as the Americans,' the newspaper specified.
PURE COINCIDENCE?
By coincidence, the El Mundo revelations have emerged while Carlos Alberto Montaner, a pseudo-intellectual of Cuban origin, is celebrating the fascist regime of businessman Micheletti in Tegucigalpa along with the son of Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa.
In a fervent speech to an assembly of coup negotiators, Montaner denounced, with his usual right-wing rhetoric, 'the Castro-Chavism' that, according to him, has failed in Honduras, although 'it will soon try to destabilize the country again.'
Itâs important to remember how, barely one week before the murder of the six Salvadoran Jesuit priests, that same Montaner threatened EllacurÃa after the latter completed a 'face to face' Spanish television program led by its pro-Franco host Mercedes Milá.
Years later, the Madrid âwriterâ, on the run from the Cuban justice system for his terrorist activity in Havana in 1960, described the presence of liberation theologians in Latin America as 'a labyrinth of lost Jesuits and Maryknolls.'
The U.S. Maryknoll Order was also a victim of the death squads. In 1980, the year when Monsignor Arnulfo Romero was murdered, four U.S. nuns were raped and killed by National Guard troops during Operation Centauro, which directed by Cuban-American CIA agents and Leopoldo Castillo, the Venezuelan ambassador in El Salvador.
Neo-fascist Leopoldo Castillo currently hosts a program on the right-wing Venezuelan TV station Globovisión.
POSADAâS ASSIGNMENT
In the period when the Jesuits were murdered, Luis Posada Carriles was personal advisor on repression to President José Napoleón Duarte, who had governed the country under State Department instructions since 1984.
When the arms for drugs trafficking operation directed in Ilopango ended in the Iran-Contra Scandal, the CIA placed Posada among former torturers of the Venezuelan secret police, who were then directing the Salvadoran National Police (PN), alongside the henchmen Mauricio Sandoval and VÃctor 'ZacarÃas' Rivera.
Posada became the advisor of Duarte who, itâs said, called him to his own home to resolve 'particular cases.' In those days he dedicated himself to giving orders to the death squads that were sowing terror across the country.
After leaving El Salvador after a change in presidents, Posada returned a few years later with his ARENA buddies and established a command center on behalf of the Cuban-American National Foundation, a U.S. intelligence anti-Cuban front organization.
It is important to note that, in November 2003, the UCA and the El Salvador Human Rights Institute petitioned the Inter-American Human Rights Commission to investigate former Salvadoran president Alfredo Cristiani (currently an unconditional supporter the Micheletti regime) and certain military officers from that country. Six years later, that agency of the Organization of American States has still not responded to the petition.

The Cuban Five
Well said Galldaj. Can you give the readers any information about the five Cubans who were jailed for life after a witch hunt trial in a hostile Miami court room. They were in Florida spying on Cuban exiled terrorists. The evidence was presented to Bill Clinton resulting in their being arrested. There families were prevented from meeting their loved ones by successive presidents. Where is the hearts and minds concerning these unfortunate Cuban citizens. They were doing what any other people would do in any country weeding out terrorist activities.
