Mofaz: Gaza is not the land of our forefathers
By GIL HOFFMAN

In a possible preview of the next Likud leadership race, Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz have emerged as the top adversaries on the makeup of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's next diplomatic plan.

The two, who consistently finish first and second in polls among Likud members and the population as a whole, sharpened their points of view on Sunday on the future diplomatic moves Sharon should make.


Netanyahu made clear in his meeting with Sharon that he will not permit him to regurgitate his unilateral disengagement plan following its landslide defeat in last week's Likud referendum.

He told Sharon that he does not need to hurry to come up with a new plan as long as there is no partner on the Palestinian side. ~snip~

Contractor: Army Happy With Interrogators

ARLINGTON, Va. - The chief executive of a defense contractor that provides civilian interrogators to the scandal-ridden Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq said the Army is pleased with its work and that its employees fully understand they are under military authority.

"It's been reported to us that we're doing a fine job. That's from our customer (the Army), and those are the people who count," J.P. "Jack" London said Monday in a telephone interview.

One of CACI International Inc.'s interrogators was criticized in an internal Army report for helping to facilitate the physical and sexual abuse documented against detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison.

want to puke. :puke:

As one of the highlights of the visit, London was presented with the Albert Einstein Technology Award by Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz at a gala dinner at Jerusalem city hall, for "achievements in the field of defense and national security."

Albert Einstein, life long pacifist and gentle soul, is rolling over in his grave. :cry:

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has
been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This
disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless
brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert Einstein
