TalkLeft: Death Penalty Facts However, what Amnesty Int l and most everyone on the Left seems to miss, pigwiggle, if they both practiced genocide it would be an accurate comparison. http://talkleft.com/new_archives/010247.html
Extractions: Main Tuesday :: April 05, 2005 Death Penalty Facts by TChris Amnesty International USA recently updated its "facts and figures on the death penalty." A noteworthy fact: In 2004, 97 per cent of all known executions took place in China, Iran, Viet Nam and the USA. What wonderful company we keep. Another interesting fact: Since 1973, 117 prisoners have been released in the USA after evidence emerged of their innocence of the crimes for which they were sentenced to death. There were six such cases in 2004. Some prisoners had come close to execution after spending many years under sentence of death. Recurring features in their cases include prosecutorial or police misconduct; the use of unreliable witness testimony, physical evidence, or confessions; and inadequate defence representation. Despite concerns about executing the innocent, 59 people were put to death in 2004 in the United States. More than 3,400 prisoners were facing a death sentence as of the first of this year. Update (TL): The full report is here "Our report indicates that governments and citizens around the world have realized what the United States government refuses to admit?that the death penalty is an inhumane, antiquated form of punishment," said Dr. William

Extractions: What is now northern Sudan was in ancient times the kingdom of Nubia, which came under Egyptian rule after 2600 B.C. An Egyptian and Nubian civilization called Kush flourished until A.D. 350. Missionaries converted the region to Christianity in the 6th century, but an influx of Muslim Arabs, who had already conquered Egypt, eventually controlled the area and replaced Christianity with Islam. During the 1500s a people called the Funj conquered much of Sudan, and several other black African groups settled in the south, including the Dinka, Shilluk, Nuer, and Azande. Egyptians again conquered the Sudan in 1874, and after Britain occupied Egypt in 1882, it took over Sudan in 1898, ruling the country in conjunction with Egypt. It was known as the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan between 1898 and 1955. On Aug. 20, 1998, the United States launched cruise missiles that destroyed a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Khartoum that allegedly manufactured chemical weapons. Sudan has close ties with Iraq, which has thwarted the UN inspections of its weapons stockpiles that are thought to include biological weapons. The U.S. contended that the wealthy Arab, Osama Bin Laden, financed the Sudanese factory. Since 1999 international attention has been focused on evidence that slavery is widespread throughout Sudan. Arab raiders from the north of the country have enslaved thousands of southerners, who are black. The Dinka people have been the hardest hit. Some sources point out that the raids intensified in the 1980s along with the civil war between north and south. Since the early 1990s, several international human rights organizations have engaged in the controversial practice of buying back slaves from the traders. Some contend this may inadvertently encourage slavery since slave redemption has become profitable. The antislavery organizations counter that in the absence of a political solution, buying back slaves is the only hope for thousands of Sudanese.

Extractions: @import url("http://www.mikel.org/mikel.css"); M-J Milloy has sent word that he's going to devote a significant amount of attention to the developing Asian Bird flu (H5N1) story on his new blog EPIDEMIca . M-J was a top-notch investigative reporter who changed his life to pursue an interest in infectious diseases - I can't think of a better combo for someone who's going to sift through the news and rumours about this potentially civilization-altering story. The current outbreak in Thailand, Vietnam and China of bird flu - the H5N1 variety of the influenza virus - could be the start of a global pandemic of the flu. All public-health officials believe that the world is overdue for a pandemic, like those that killed hundreds of millions in 1918 and 1967. So far, bird flu has infected and killed only a few score of humans, but if the avian influenza virus mutates and acquires the ability to be transmitted from human to human, and not just from infected birds to humans, a pandemic will likely explode.

Extractions: Our abiding commitment to the rule of law is the very bedrock of our civilization. It is what makes all else possible, from the flowering of the arts to the steady advance of the sciences. The idea that men must govern themselves not by the arbitrary commands of a ruler but by their own considered judgment, is the means whereby chaos is replaced by order. Balanced by the peaceful resolution of differences, the rule of law and the institutions of representative democracy are what stand between civilization and barbarism. It is through law-governed liberty that mankind has been able to achieve so much. Margaret Thatcher It is a commonplace that long lists of rights are empty words in the absence of a legal and political order in which rights can be realized. That was so well understood by the architects of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that they endowed the 1948 document with features not usually seen in bills of rights: a right "to take part in the government of [one's] country"; a right to "a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be realized"; an acknowledgment that everyone's rights are limited by the need for "meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society"; and an express recognition of the importance of the rule of law.
Kurdish Life: Don't Say A Word But the word genocide in the context of Jews is more than a misdemeanor, officials denying the Armenian genocide. (Armenian Reporter Int l 4.12.02) http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0SBM/is_42/ai_n13805810
Extractions: Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. But the word 'genocide' in the context of Jews is more than a misdemeanor, it is tantamount to high crime. Israel's rapid-reaction diplomats went into action. Knowing well that apart from the United States, Turkey may well be Israel's lone planetary ally, David Sultan, Israel's ambassador to Ankara, tried to calm the storm before it got out of hand. "We received the information on the announcement of Prime Minister Ecevit, and we have contacted Turkish Foreign Ministry undersecretary Ugur Ziyal here, and Turkish Ambassador Ahmet Uzumcu in Tel Aviv. Prime Minister Ecevit has clarified his remarks. We consider this a rectification and will leave it at that," he told reporters. Continue article Advertisement But the Jewish lobby in the United States was not about to leave it at that. One report on the topic read: "Some key figures of the lobby reportedly called on Turkish officials to express their disappointment with the remarks. Ankara, for its part, is particularly attentive to the Jewish lobby, an important counter-balance to the Armenian lobby in the United States. Ecevit himself had emphasized the importance of this lobby earlier this week, during a Cabinet meeting. Reportedly the prime minister pleaded that the Jewish lobby should not be offended. Turkey particularly needs the support of the Jewish lobby now, when Armenian activists in the United States and Europe are poised to step up their efforts before April 24, which they consider their day of remembrance for the victims of the Armenian 'genocide.'"

Extractions: FOOTNOTES In the past several years, Argentina, Cambodia, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Uruguay, and South Africa have each granted amnesty to members of the former regime that commanded death squads that tortured and killed thousands of civilians within their respective countries. With respect to four of these countries (Cambodia, El Salvador, Haiti, and South Africa), the United Nations pushed for, helped negotiate, and/or endorsed the granting of amnesty as a means of restoring peace and democratic government. At the preparatory conference for the establishment of a permanent international criminal court in August 1997, the U.S. Delegation circulated a paper suggesting that the proposed permanent court should take into account such amnesties in the interest of international peace and national reconciliation when deciding whether to prosecute. Numerous scholars have made the case against granting amnesty to those who commit violations of international humanitarian law (the laws of war), or who commit other serious human rights crimes (genocide, torture, and crimes
