ground in Palestine. Author David Ray Griffen asks the painful
questions on 911 and a fresh report from the flames of resistance
of U.S.occupied Haiti. And of course the Knight Report;

The Knight Report: Donald Rumsfeld is scapegoated by the Whitehouse,

mean barely having to say I'm sorry

Dahr Jamail Reports from Iraq: A suicide car-bombing in Baghdad,

How We Got Here: David
Ray Griffin, well-respected author, philosopher, theologian,
professor of philosophy of religion at Claremont School of
Theology and Claremont Graduate University, and one of the
co-directors of the Center for Process Studies, is interviewed
by Solange Echeverria. David Ray Griffin discusses the growing
outrage over the mishandling of the deepening scandal of egregious
and violent torture, humiliation and sexual abuse of Iraqi
detainees, and why Bush is incapable of apology as more photos
continue to appear in the media. Also discussed is mounting
evidence of high-level complicity in the 9-11 terrorist attacks
presented in his book The New Pearl Harbor and continuing
to be uncovered by others. The author articulates many disturbing
questions about circumstances and events leading up to and
immediately following the attacks.

Haiti Burning: David Welch of the San
Francisco Labor Council, who recently returned with a
community delegation of US and Canadian labor representatives
and religious leaders from meetings with Haitian labor leaders,
is interviewed by Solange Echeverria. David Welch describes
the strength and spirit of pro-Aristide Lavalas sentiment
that proudly remains among the poorest Haitians despite the
ongoing massacre, terrorising, and imprisonment of Aristide
supporters. Local unions and community organizations are encouraged
to take a stand in support of the people of Haiti by signing
the petition. Also visit HaitiAction
for the latest news and developments in the struggle to restore
