Analysis Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer announced Aug. 29 that a free trade agreement (FTA) with the United States has become a "key third-term priority" for his government. Support for a deal is growing on both sides of the Pacific, as it would greatly enhance economic and political cooperation between the two allies. However, despite the fact that U.S. President George W. Bush recently received congressional approval for trade promotion authority -- giving him the power to negotiate trade deals that Congress cannot amend -- negotiations with Canberra will not proceed as quickly as they recently have with Singapore or Morocco. There are several obstacles in place that will prevent any deal from being finalized before 2005 or implemented before 2008. An FTA between Canberra and Washington would invigorate an already robust and friendly relationship. Australia was one of the first states to commit forces to the U.S. war on terrorism, as well as to the campaign in Afghanistan. Australia also has accepted the role of <America's deputy in the region http://www.stratfor.com/standard/analysis_view.php?ID=100377> and of the southern anchor in Washington's Asia-Pacific defense strategy. In addition, Canberra enjoys nearly unfettered access to U.S. military technology and intelligence. http://www.stratfor.com/fib/fib_view.php?ID=206025 A recent statement by the head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration directly links illicit drug trafficking in the United States to Middle Eastern militant groups. The U.S. administration could use the issue to put more diplomatic pressure on Middle Eastern governments such as Syria and Iran. Analysis U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration chief Asa Hutchinson told CNN Sept. 2 that money from illicit drug sales in the United States is being used to fund Middle Eastern militant organizations, including Lebanon-based Hezbollah. More than 130 people, many of them of Middle Eastern origin, reportedly were arrested earlier this year when authorities busted a methamphetamine ring in the Midwest. According to the CNN report, the DEA found that the alleged drug dealers had laundered millions of dollars in the United States and had wired the money to bank accounts connected to terrorist groups in Lebanon and Yemen. There are several possible motives behind Hutchinson's linking of Middle Eastern militants to drug trafficking, but in any case it could reshape both U.S. domestic and foreign policy. Hutchinson's comments may be part of an attempt by the DEA to reinvigorate the U.S. war on drugs -- as well as get more funds for anti-drug efforts in Colombia -- by tying terrorism to narcotics trafficking. Congress will come back into session soon and will begin deciding budget allotments. Since Sept. 11, many agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, have focused less on drug interdiction efforts in places like the Gulf of Mexico and more on homeland defense issues like port security. The DEA would like to see this attention shift back more toward drugs. Chaos and Neglect Dominate U.S. Agenda in Latin America Latin America still has not assumed high priority on the Bush administration's radar, despite previous pledges the president has made. Disorganization and confusion within the White House's Latin America team have left leaders in the region wondering who is in charge ...or what.

Light a fire under the bushs. Save Camilo Camilo was one of these hundreds arrested and treated brutally over the days of the Republican National Convention in Philadephia, but he had the misfortune of being charged with assaulting the top Philly cop: Police Commissioner Timony. Those who know Camilo believe that it is unlikely that he committed any such assault. MORE ON http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=02/09/05/9648429

A Victorian Crime Commission could be handed coercive powers. This would remove the ability of a person it questions not to answer on the grounds of self-incrimination or legal professional privilege. MORE ON Usually its the 'conservatives' that love laura Norder,now in a race to the bottom on crime to rival that of the race to prostitute the State for Corporate criminals,the Labor party Tweedledum now outbids the Right on crime and even has them calling some of their Nazi like proposals what the are,a direct threat to long standing human and civil rights.At the same time more police powers are being proposed half the drug squad is under investigation for serious and longstandingcorruption.A 2 billion dollar drug case was just aborted due to this inquiry.

Worlds Worst Weapons...Kenfucky speech.A freudian slip? I don't think so. The Internet on probation (PDF) 'One year after the tragic events in New York and Washington, the Internet can be added to the list of "collateral damage" caused by the general spate of security measures. As a result, basic cyber-freedoms have been cut back. The countries usually criticised for not respecting human rights and freedom of expression ... have encouraged its growth as a tool of state propaganda or economic interests, but at the same time moved to control it and clamp down on criticism, argument and hopes for democracy expressed online ... It is also threatened in Western democracies, where many countries have passed laws, taken measures and adopted practices that are putting the Internet under the ferrule of the security services' ( RSF ) See also this press release, this AP coverage, and this blog entry from Tuesday http://www.hullocentral.demon.co.uk/site/anfin.htm FBI was trying to send suspect to known torturers.(but not executioners!) ZACARIAS MOUSSAOUI Q - What is France's position on Moussaoui who's just admitted his responsibility in the September 11 attacks? Knowing France's position, what action can France take? Is it going to seek extradition if he's sentenced to death? That's a purely hypothetical question. Q - Yes but still? The matter is in the hands of American judicial officials and comes under the Justice Ministry. Mr. Moussaoui is being tried in the U.S. We have a general position on the death penalty: We oppose it. That holds true for Mr. Moussaoui. The American authorities have been clearly informed of this. Q - A few days ago, Mr. Moussaoui asked to meet with a French diplomat. Has he made any specific requests? Can you tell us about them? What did he ask for? Mr. Moussaoui asked to have the benefit of French consular protection. This was granted and, as we've said, the consulate general in Washington has asked to be able to visit Mr. Moussaoui according to the usual rules for consular protection, as for everyone. I understand that depending on the practical arrangements, the visit could take place this afternoon. Q - What advantages do people have under consular protection? These are stipulated in the 1963 Vienna Convention. Article 34: contacts, checking on the conditions of detention and trial. http://www.info-france-usa.org/news/briefing/us190702.asp Proffr denies bomb threat to airport.

The Colorado Activists' Spy Files. Keeping US one step ahead of THEM! The Colorado Activist's Spy Files. The Mile High Resistance's Answer to the files held by the Denver Police Department. We thought it only fair that if they could keep files on us, we could keep files on THEM. This page is dedicated to protecting Colorado's activists from infiltrators, spies and provacatuers by publishing their faces on the internet. We also need your help with this project. If you have pictures of undercover cops (federal or local) or of undercover cops cars send them to us at mhr(a)coloradicals.org coloradicals.org/pigs/spy.html Colorado Citizens Get Access To Their Spy Files Tuesday was the first day that the Denver Police Department's "spy files" were made available to the victims of unconstitutional police intelligence gathering in that city. The files, whose existence was first made public by the ACLU of Colorado in March, include video and surveillance reports on people attending peaceful, legal protests. The police targeted some 3200 people and 208 organizations, labeling many "criminal extremist," like the American Friends Service Committee, an 85-year-old pacifist Quaker group that has won the Nobel Peace Prize. In one instance, the police recorded all of the license plates at an Amnesty International rally. No one has yet been held responsible for the illegal files. Some have responded by gathering spy files of their own. Read more and discuss the 'Denver Spy Files.' [ Rocky Mountain IMC | Complete Chronology of Events | Article from UK Guardian ]
