Manningham-Buller’s hope for the future of dealing with terrorism was for dialogue by western governments with Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

واشنطن- أعلن أحد محامي معتقلين في غوانتانامو أن سجناء في المعتقل الأمريكي يتظاهرون سلميا كل يوم للاحتجاج على بقاء السجن مفتوحا على الرغم من الوعد الذي قطعه الرئيس الأمريكي باراك أوباما قبل عامين بإغلاق السجن.
وردا على سؤال لوكالة فرانس برس، قالت الناطق باسم المعتقل الأمريكي تامسين ريز ان "التظاهرات السلمية لمعتقلين ليست نادرة

Another anniversary of America's illegal detention camp comes round and the president's closure order remains unfulfilled

To refrain accountability, and continue its illegal global war, U.S. government officials have two walls to protect themselves behind: say secrecy, and propaganda/ psychological operations. When the first surround is penetrated, as Bradley Manning and WikiLeaks have done, and as justice Ellsberg did during the Vietnam era, it turns to propaganda, and psychological operations, (telling outright lies, spinning half-truths, character assassination, accusing others of treachery and wrong-doing).

Despite US officials repeating the allegations that New Mexico-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki is a known leader of al-Qaeda, Ali Hassan al-Ahmadi, the governor of Yemen’s Shabwa Province, the region in which the cleric is believed to be hiding from US assassins, has never been given evidence against him.

A big revelation from Bob Woodward's new book Obama's Wars is that the CIA maintains a 3000-strong Afghan paramilitary force that conducts cross-border operations into Pakistan. Though news to the U.S. public, these abusive paramilitary forces are unfortunately far too well known to many Afghan civilians.

The Obama administration, fresh off a victory in persuading federal judges to dismiss a torture case for fear of revealing state secrets, is divided over using similar tactics to try to block a lawsuit over government efforts to kill an American citizen accused of ties to Al Qaeda.

Senior State Department and American military officials are deeply divided over the pace and scale of military aid to Yemen, which is emerging as a crucial testing ground for the Obama administration’s approach to countering the threat from Al Qaeda.

The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit by five victims of the CIA’s “extraordinary rendition” program against Jeppesen Dataplan, a unit of Boeing. The six-five ruling adopts as a rationale the anti-democratic “state secrets” doctrine advocated by the Obama administration.

Pakistanis burned tyres and chanted anti-US slogans after a New York judge handed down an 86-year sentence to an American-trained Pakistani scientist convicted of trying to kill US agents and military officers in Afghanistan.

Two prominent human rights workers, one of them a lawyer, were arrested this week in Uganda as part of a US-sponsored local 'security response' to bombings in Kampala over the summer.

There are 30 US bases in Afghanistan. By the sheer masonry and architecture, they don’t look they are temporary.

Nine years into what the US used to call the "global war on terror," the nation still cannot agree on how to describe the struggle, how to characterise it, or on a logically consistent set of tools and procedures to conduct it. To some, this might seem unacceptable. I, however, would be far more critical if I did not harbor some degree of ambivalence myself.
