When will the U.S. destruction of Iraq end? This month, as we're speaking to students who were in middle school, or younger, when the Bush regime invaded Iraq 11 years ago, we're launching a crowd-sourced effort to tell the story of more than 20 years of U.S. aggression against the Iraqi people. Crowd-sourced means we're calling on you to help ask the right questions, and search for the answers. Why did the US invade Iraq? Will the U.S. destruction of Iraq ever end? How did the occupation affect Iraqis? You can contribute to this project via email, Facebook or Twitter. Send your suggestions for the best articles; films, books, posters, and analysis, going back to the Persian Gulf War of 1990, through the sanctions and Clinton's bombing of Iraq; the Bush regime's invasion & occupation, and the Obama era's "dirty wars." We're also calling for content and designers for a series of posters on the theme:  From the U.S. government to Iraqi people: Bombing, sanctions, occupation, destruction of a whole society Please join in now with your initial ideas. Examining and Understanding the Arrest of Moazaam Begg, Former Guantanamo Prisoner and Human Rights Activist by Jill McLaughlin Moazaam Begg was captured in 2002 in the western imperialist “war on terror”. The British citizen of Pakistani descent was held for a time at Bagram Airforce Base in Afghanistan and then transferred to Guantanamo Bay Detention Center where he was detained without charge or trial for three years before he was released and repatriated to the U.K. Since his release Begg has spoken out about his ordeal, but has also courageously spoken out on the abuses of the U.K. Government in numerous other cases of alleged torture and abuse. Most recently Begg had been investigating and writing about abuses of the U.K. government in Syria. Begg had gone to Syria to talk to victims who claim that the U.K. government had sent prisoners to Syria to be tortured. In a recent article by Glenn Greenwald and Murtaza Hussain it is noted that Begg was repeatedly harassed by the U.K. Government with repeated interrogations and having his passport taken from him in December 2012. Begg’s arrest for terrorism related reasons now is suspicious and dubious given his history as a former Guantanamo detainee and now human rights activist investigating the U.K. government involvement in torture in the endless U.S. led war of terror.
