“Gaza’s internet war
Islamic war on freedom of thought in Gaza should concern Israelis as well”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “At 3 am, in the shadow of the ongoing fighting, a giant blast shook Allah al-Shawa’s Internet cafe in Gaza. The owner, who rushed to his business in order to examine the damage, found one computer in working order in the rubble and decided to check his e-mail.
A surprise awaited him: An e-mail message from a group calling itself “Islamic Swords of Justice” explained that the cafe was blown up because it and those of its type “divert the attention of an entire generation to other issues that are not Jihad or worship.””

“Report Puts Al Qaeda No. 3 in Iran”
By ELI LAKE
Staff Reporter of the Sun
June 4, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “WASHINGTON — With America warming to new negotiations with Iran, a recent report by counterterrorism experts at West Point suggests that, between 2001 and 2005, Iran harbored Al Qaeda’s third-ranking official and director of military operations, and that he could still be operating there today.
The disclosures in last month’s report, “ Al Qaeda’s (mis)Adventures in the Horn of Africa,” from the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, are the first official government documents to acknowledge that Saif al-Adel, who is one of the FBI’s most wanted terrorists, was inside Iran. Based in part on captured documents that were funneled to the government’s Harmony Database, the new disclosures suggest that Iran was more complicit with Al Qaeda than the Bush administration has previously suggested.”

Charges Dismissed Against Canadian at Guantanamo
By Sgt. Sara Wood, USA
American Forces Press Service
NAVAL STATION GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba, June 4, 2007 – In a decision that could affect the future of the military commission system, the judge in the military commission case of accused terrorist Omar Khadr today dismissed all charges against Khadr and adjourned the hearing.
Halting what was supposed to be a routine arraignment here, Army Col. Peter Brownback, the military judge, dismissed the charges based on a question about the jurisdiction of the military commission regarding the status of enemy combatants. Specifically, the conflict arose because Khadr’s Combatant Status Review Tribunal designated him as an “enemy combatant” and not an “unlawful enemy combatant.”
Brownback argued that the Military Commissions Act of 2006, the law that governs military commissions, requires that a detainee be an unlawful enemy combatant to be tried by commission. The law specifically designates between unlawful enemy combatants and enemy combatants, who fight for a legitimate armed forces.
Combatant Status Review Tribunals are one-time administrative hearings to determine each detainee’s status. Khadr’s was conducted in September 2004; the Military Commissions Act was signed into law Oct. 17, 2006. Brownback’s ruling points out an apparent discrepancy created by the Military Commissions Act’s new requirement that detainees be designated as “unlawful” enemy combatants to be tried by commissions, because it was signed into law after the majority of CSRTs had been completed at Guantanamo.
None of the detainees who have gone through the CSRT process at Guantanamo have been designated as unlawful enemy combatants, Marine Col. Dwight Sullivan, chief defense counsel for the Office of Military Commissions, told reporters after the ruling. All the detainees who have gone through the process have been designated either “enemy combatants” or “no longer enemy combatants.”
Sullivan called the ruling a critical blow to the military commissions system, as it could affect those detainees who will be tried in the future, including Salim Ahmed Hamdan, who is to face an arraignment this afternoon. This ruling could even affect Australian David Hicks, who was sentenced after a March 31 guilty plea to nine months in prison for providing material support to terrorism. Hicks’ CSRT designated him an enemy combatant, and his lawyers probably already are examining the issue raised today, Sullivan said.
“This is more evidence that the commission system does not work,” Sullivan said.
Khadr, a 20-year-old Canadian citizen, is charged with murder in connection with the death of Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer in Afghanistan in 2002, attempted murder, material support for terrorism, conspiracy and spying. He appeared at the hearing today in his tan detainee uniform, sporting unkempt hair and a beard.
Brownback raised the jurisdiction issue himself at the beginning of the hearing, pointing out the determination of Khadr’s CSRT and the requirement of the Military Commissions Act. The prosecution made several arguments to attempt to rebut Brownback’s assertion that the commission didn’t have jurisdiction to try Khadr.
First, the prosecution suggested that the reading of the Military Commission Act in conjunction with a presidential determination of 2002 did define Khadr as an enemy combatant. If that explanation wasn’t acceptable, the prosecution suggested that the military commission itself could determine Khadr’s status, or that the prosecution could present evidence today proving Khadr was an unlawful enemy combatant.
Navy Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler, Khadr’s detailed defense counsel, declined to argue the jurisdiction issue because he said he has not had a chance to meet with Khadr and isn’t comfortable representing him.
After a brief recess, Brownback rejected the prosecution’s arguments, citing several sections of the Military Commissions Act. He also said that he doesn’t believe Congress intended for the commission to determine detainees’ status for the purposes of initial jurisdiction.
Brownback specifically noted that the law included as a new requirement the definition of “unlawful enemy combatant” for military commissions cases, and questioned if anyone in the government considered reviewing the CSRTs already done to bring them into compliance.
When Brownback dismissed the charges, he did so “without prejudice.” This means that the U.S. could revive the charges against Khadr, Sullivan explained.
He suggested that a better option would be to halt the commissions process altogether. “This indicates that the commissions system cannot proceed,” Sullivan said.
He noted that the U.S. federal court system has successfully prosecuted many terrorism cases and said that would be a better alternative to try detainees from the war on terror.
It is not clear how Khadr’s case will proceed. Brownback specifically ruled that the military commission is not the proper authority, under the provisions of the Military Commissions Act, to determine the status of a detainee. A two-step process, including the administrative determination of a detainee’s status, is critical in these cases, he said. However, he did not rule out the possibility that facts could be provided to prove Khadr is an unlawful enemy combatant.

Iraqis in Diyala Turn to Coalition, Government Forces
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 4, 2007 – Local Iraqis were instrumental in helping coalition and Iraqi forces liberate 42 men from al Qaeda custody in Iraq’s Diyala province, the coalition commander in the area said.
Amy Lt. Col. Morris Goins, the commander of the 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry, said local Iraqis are getting tired of al Qaeda intimidation and threats and are cooperating more with Iraqi and coalition forces.
The operation, south of Baquba on May 27, liberated 42 men, most of whom worked with the Iraqi government. Al Qaeda kidnapped the men and held them in the area. “The men were handcuffed and some showed signs of torture,” Goins said during a telephone interview from Diyala today. Some of the men had been hung from doorways and beaten. All showed the effects of their captivity, he said.
Since the operation, the unit has found more hideouts and caches of weapons. The colonel said he is encouraged that the local population is banding together against the terrorists. He said the local sheikhs are throwing in with the Iraqi government. The local people are establishing neighborhood watch-type organizations to prevent al Qaeda from returning.
Local people are volunteering for the Iraqi army and the Iraqi police. “The Iraqis want their country back and are taking steps toward that,” Goins said.
He said his unit has worked closely with the 1st Brigade of the 5th Iraqi Army Division in this operation and others and that he is pleased with the growing capacity of the Iraqi army troops. Goins said the army units are farther along in capabilities than the police, but both are developing well.
Al Qaeda remains the main enemy in his area, Goins said. Diyala is a majority Sunni Arab province, with significant pockets of Shiia Arabs and other groups. About 1,000 al Qaeda operatives in the province are trying to foment division among the groups and prevent the Iraqi government from succeeding in the province, he said.
Al Qaeda is not directly challenging coalition forces, Goins said. Rather, the terrorists plant improvised explosive devices and “drop-and-pop” IEDS, which are quickly emplaced, to inflict casualties on coalition and Iraqi forces.
Small numbers of Shiia militiamen are operating in the province, as well, Goins said. His unit found a large number of explosively forced projectile weapons in the province in February. These explosives, which can punch through a tank, come from Iran to Shiia insurgents.

Nine charged in US for Laos coup plot
Agence France-Presse (excerpt) ^ | June 4, 2007
Posted on 06/04/2007 4:54:51 PM PDT by HAL9000
Excerpt -
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Nine people were arrested in the United States and charged with plotting a coup in the southeast Asian nation of Laos, a public prosecutor in California said Monday.
The suspects, mostly members of the Hmong ethnic group, were seized after US authorities “interrupted a plot to overthrow the government of Laos by force and violence,” the prosecutor in the state capital Sacramento said in a statement.
They include the Hmong former general Vang Pao and Harrison Jack, a retired officer of the US Army, it said.
