< Shalom Nagar sprung the gallows under Adolf Eichmann over 40 years ago. To this day the scene plays itself over and over in minute detail. by Rachel Ginsberg For years, the details of arch-Nazi Eichmann's hanging by the State of Israel was shrouded in secrecy -- from his being given his last glass of wine, to the noose being placed around his neck, to his lifeless body being incinerated in a specially-designed oven and his ashes spread over the sea outside Israel's territorial waters. Most of those involved in Israel's first and only execution in 1962 are no longer...

On the surface there would seem to be little to unite the Aryan racialists of the neo-Nazi movement with the terrorists of radical Islam. To the neo-Nazis, Muslims are almost all members of ``inferior`` races; and to the Islamic terrorists, the neo-Nazis are almost without exception either atheists or members of fringe quasi-Christian sects.

For all of their differences, Muslim extremists and Nazis have always been united by a common group of beliefs and...

I didn’t understand Ward Churchill’s comments when he compared some of the victims of September 11, 2001 to “little Eichmanns,” even after having read his explanation. Still trying to figure out what Churchill was getting at, I refreshed my mind on details of Adolf Eichmann's pathetic life, available on the Internet. Although I can’t make sense of what correlation Churchill was trying to draw (readers, please feel free to offer interpretations or elucidation), I thought this was a good opportunity to highlight some biographical information on this terrible man, Adolf Eichmann, drenched as he was in executing Hitler's "final solution"...

<p>The tyrant's capture has triggered a predictable chorus from those who have consistently subordinated the interests of Iraq, and other things, to their agenda for aggrandizing international institutions.
