McGovern calls for whistleblowing before alleged US attack on Iran

February 17, 2006

Ex- agent, of , has called for people with inside information on the alleged - threats to launch an attack on Iran to become by revealing this information. McGovern is strongly critical of the administration of the US.

He claims that he personally had missed a chance to try to stop the by failing to whistleblow about a cable sent by General  on August 20, 1967 regarding a significant underestimate of  troop numbers. He called for "shedding light on what the Bush administration is up to beneath the " and asked that "Those of you clued into Israeli plans and U.S. intelligence support for them might clue us in too."

McGovern alleges that an attack on Iran is likely to happen in March, saying "Anyone who has been near a TV in recent weeks has heard the drumbeat for war on Iran. The best guess for timing is next month."

He recommended from his personal experience "Don't bother this time with the once-independent congressional oversight committees... Nor should you bother with the once-independent . Find some other way. ... just be sure you get the truth out – information that will provide the oxygen for democracy."

McGovern also claims that whistleblowing could have stopped the, saying "Any number of people would have had a good chance of stopping the Iraq war, had they the courage to disclose publicly what they knew BEFORE it was launched." Just five days before the attack on Iraq officially started, McGovern and his colleagues called for whistleblowing and claimed that the Bush administration was misrepresenting the case for an attack on Iraq. McGovern described the administration's information on March 15, 2003, saying "It's been cooked to a recipe, and the recipe is high policy."

In September 2004, McGovern along with, who had precipitated a national uproar in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, the US military's account of activities during the Vietnam War, to The New York Times, along with several other colleagues had already announced that they would form a whistleblowers' support network for revealing possibly classified information regarding the conduct of the occupation of Iraq.

USA rejects UN Guantanamo report

February 21, 2006

Scott McClellan, White House spokesman, dismissed a United Nations report today dealing with the Guantánamo Bay facilities. The UN report said that the United States government should "expeditiously bring all Guantánamo Bay detainees to trial" without further delay, and called upon the U.S. to close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility.

McClellan responded, "These are dangerous terrorists that we're talking about that are there and I think we've talked about that issue before and nothing's changed in terms of our views." McClellan added, "We know that these are dangerous terrorists that are being kept at Guantanamo Bay. They are people that are determined to harm innocent civilians or harm innocent Americans. They were enemy combatants picked up on the battlefield in the war on terrorism."

Three months ago, the US Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Jan Krc, asked that country to give asylum to a group of Guantanamo detainees which would have set them free in Europe. The U.S. request to the Czechs about asylum was "a humanitarian request because we clearly need to place these people somewhere," Krc said.

In a press encounter, Kofi Annan responded to a journalist, he didn't accept all the conclusions of the report but, "Sooner or later there will be a need to close Guantanamo, sooner or later". He said, "I cannot agree with everything in the report, but I did indicate that the basic premise, that we need to be careful to have a balance between effective action against terrorism and individual liberties and civil rights, I think is valid."

The United Nations report is based upon information from the United States Government, interviews conducted by the experts with former Guantanamo Bay detainees currently residing or detained in France, Spain and the United Kingdom. The U.S. government's invitation for UN investigators to visit the prison was turned down because the United States would not allow the UN investigation team to conduct interviews with detainees. The report follows an 18 month study by 5 experts in various areas of human rights.

United Nations report authors

 * Leila Zerrougui, Chairman Rapporteur of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention,
 * Leandro Despouy, Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers,
 * Manfred Nowak, Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment,
 * Asma Jahangir, Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief,
 * Paul Hunt, Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health.

Talk:USA rejects UN Guantanamo report

"And I think it's a discredit to the UN when a team like this goes about rushing to report something when they haven't even looked into the facts, all they've done is look at the allegations." (McClellan). Isn't it just funny how this guy says UN should have investigated the issue more, but USA was not willing to give inspectors free hands in investigating. Hell yes they would have investigated more if they had been allowed by the US. :) --HJV 23:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Based on this article's quotes of McClellan, he does not sound very articulate. Can quotes be brief with more factual sourced statements to add some clarity and a broaden the point-of-view? The quotes just seem like a lot of blathering, even Kofi Annan's.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that the list of experts and their titles seems a bit excessive. Maybe put them in a seperate section below the article? Karen 08:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

POV analysis?
The phrasing and choice of sources in this article appears to be an analysis. It is POV because it includes only select information, and excludes other alternative information, to attempt to elicit a specific response, which would make this article a violation of the WN:NPOV. I'm sure this is not the author's intent, so I'm bringing it up here to alert the author. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 22:36, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The above concern has not been addressed in this article. I am tagging as a violation of WN:NPOV. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 07:31, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Never mind the fact that it only contains large quotes by U.S. officials without any explanation of the UN reasoning!!
 * I added links to Annan'talk and announce of the report (but not the report) with full history. Jacques Divol

 * Sorry I was not around to address NPOV concerns. Ironically it seems to me that Amgine thinks the article is too anti-US and Divol thinks it is too pro-US. If that's the case I don't know what can be done. I think I will start an entirely new article. Neutralizer 13:51, 17 February 2006

(UTC)
 * I should also say that Amgine is correct that I was trying to involve a story that fit into "You feel aren't getting adequate coverage: Do you know of an issue that has been forgotten or isn't getting enough attention in the rest of the press? Here's your chance to tell the world!"... the issue of the asylum request for Gitmos. Now that that part of the Guantanamo story is finally coming out elsewhere I will do a story just on that aspect. Neutralizer 14:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, both critisisms can be the addressed simultaniously: just say more about the content and authors of the report. These guys all have big long "U.N. torture hunter" titles, and that is good to know, both because it means they probably know torture when they see it, and also because it means they might not know so much about law other enforcement concerns. I've added a bit, and clarified the intro.. I hope. Nyarlathotep 13:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe you are not aware that these are merely their UN titles, but most of these people (I don't know enough information to claim this for all of them) have other jobs and obligations that qualify them for their jobs. For example, Nowak is a law professor at the University of Vienna, and has also served as judge on international courts (for example in Kosovo). It seems to me that you are suggesting to create a certain POV by displaying the names in the way you did. --vonbergm 23:41, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You can change the titles however you like, and it would be even better to know their "day jobs". I'm just claiming that more information solves both POV claims which N pointed out appear to go in opposite directions.  As to style of listing, I displayed them as a bulleted list because I was lazy, your welcome to put it into a more professional looking, but harder to read, paragraph form.  Nyarlathotep 12:20, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I think the current version with the links to wikipedia (the articles must be very new...) is a good solution. --vonbergm 17:26, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

editing?
Can we adress all concerns and make it publised quite quick? It would be a perfect 'second article' beside 'UN alleges torture at Guantanamo Bay' International 15:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:McGovern calls for whistleblowing before alleged US attack on Iran

NPOV
i couldn't find any official US government authorities' responses to McGovern. If they haven't made any statements (e.g. this is illegal, lock this guy up, he's deranged, whatever), then we can't publish them of course. Boud 22:48, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

 * A bigger issue, perhaps, is the question of if there is any news here. You're reporting one individual's public call for whistle blowers, but the person does not appear to be newsworthy in and of themselves. It looks more like political advertising, or something which might be reported in a blog, rather than news. I wouldn't want to see Wikinews reporting the calls which come from congressional figures on a daily basis, either. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 23:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Raymond McGovern is one of the people who publicly said that the Bush administration's case for attacking Iraq was based on misleading evidence before the attack happened - i don't think you can deny that the attack on Iraq was not newsworthy. So his claim that the Bush adminstration's case for attacking Iran being based on misleading evidence - and hence his calling for whistleblowers - is surely newsworthy. Was Watergate not newsworthy?

 * http://www.google.com/search?q=%22ray+mcgovern%22 yields 318,000 entries.
 * http://www.google.com/search?hl=pl&q=%22ray+mcgovern%22+whistleblowers yields 24,600 entries

The other problem if we're going to decide what is "political advertising" and what is "newsworthy" is on what objective basis this can be decided.

On the other hand, you list the problem of congressional figures. Well, politicians, whether members of Congress or President or whatever, should be expected to make biased statements in order to gain/retain political power. Does that make them less or more newsworthy? We had a wikinews article on bush's recent state of the union speech - he's arguably the world's second or third most powerful politician (after cheney and rupert murdoch?), but aren't his actions surely more newsworthy than his words? Only the problem is documenting his actions is much more difficult than documenting his public speeches...

Another aspect is that a big problem for wikinews is getting sources: while in some sense this might be thought of as McGovern advocating for wikinews, ohmynews, and so on, surely the encouragement of publication of primary material is itself news about the evolution of cyberspace and its link with the real world.

Anyway, enough rant. Nobody has any corrections to propose, so i'm shifting the tag to published. Boud 21:23, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * This is not only newsworthy today but potentially historical in 3 years, imo. Please publish now. Neutralizer 22:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Maybe wrong of me to put this link as source afterwards but check it International 22:51, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for helping to correct post-publication spelling and grammatical errors in Wikinews articles. Wikinews, unlike Wikipedia, has, by necessity, an exceptionally short article turnover time. Where Wikipedians have months or even years to work on an article, Wikinewies have only hours. This can lead to a larger-than-acceptable number of errors cropping up in our articles (mainstream news has much the same problem, believe it or not). Anyway, having people like you occasionally correct an errors is an important part of Wikinews, and (obviously) helps improve the readability of our articles. So thanks:).

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called DocSynapse. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name DocSynapse~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Australian bird flu vaccine trial results "promising"

February 17, 2006

The Australian based pharmaceutical company CSL has announced that despite promising human trials of their bird flu vaccine, more research is needed before the final formula can be developed.

Late last year the Australian federal government gave CSL AU$ 5 million to speed up research into the bird flu vaccine.

The vaccine was tested on 400 Australians aged between 18 and 45 in October last year to determine its safety and effectiveness. The strain of bird flu used for the trials was taken from a bird flu victim in Vietnam and neutralised to prevent it from being contagious.

The next phase of the trial will include 700 people from varying age groups.

CSL has previously indicated that once their vaccine is approved, it could take between three and six months to manufacture enough of the vaccine to inoculate every Australian.

Colombia’s Uribe orders the bombing of a Natural National Park

February 17, 2006

After 6 policemen who supervised the manual eradication of coca plants were killed in the Serrania de la Macarena National Park, 270 km south of Bogotá, President Alvaro Uribe announced this Thursday from Washington that he authorized the Colombia]n Air Force to bombard the area, where, according to the authorities, they found eight sites with tents and equipment belonging to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), allegedly responsible for the death of the police officials.

“We are going to define the way to evacuate the area of Macarena to bomb it before the coca eradicators enter again” said the president. “This is a difficult confrontation, which represents an important effort to defeat terrorism once and for all”, stated the Minister of defense Camilo Ospina.

Even though the bombing started this Thursday, the authorities confirmed that the manual eradication in the Macarena area will continue. Some coca eradicators, most of whom are peasants, decided to give up the job due to the difficult security conditions. However, General Jorge Daniel Castro, director of the National Police, stated that since January 20th when the operation started more than 140 ha of coca crops have been eradicated.

The announcement made by Uribe has outraged environment activists who warn about the ecological damages that the military actions may cause in the area which was declared national park in 1971. The Macarena area has been saved from fumigations.

Graffiti game banned in Australia

February 17, 2006 The Office of Film & Literature Classification Review Board in Australia has refused to classify Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. The computer game's premise is a future world where freedom of expression is suppressed by a tyrannical city government and to win the game the player has to express his message through graffiti. The decision was made by 5 members who voted 3/5 against the classification of the game; Ms Maureen Shelley, the convenor, broke the deadlock on the grounds it encourages crime. The game cannot be sold, demonstrated, hired or imported without a classification. Australia is the only country to ban the game so far. The decision comes even though OFLC guidelines state that adults may hear, read and see what they wish.

The game was originally rated MA15+ for Strong violence, and strong themes on 18 November 2005.

Other games to be banned in Australia include Postal and BMX XXX, while 'Combat: Task Force 121', a game whose premise involves shooting people to defend US interests from Marxist rebels was rated M (below the maximum rating of MA for a video game in Australia) and is therefore available to buy by anyone of any age.

Atari Australia, the games local distributor has said it strongly disagrees with the outcome and they defend the original MA rating "We are definitely investigating all our options at the moment. If we can appeal it we will," said Mr David Wildgoose, public relations manager at Atari. Any action to be taken would take place after they receive the Review Board's written decision. Mark Ecko has been also expressed his point of view “I am extremely disappointed in the Australian Government Classification Review Board’s move to ban my video game ... based solely on a perceived notion that it somehow will promote the crime of graffiti.”

Ms Maureen Shelley, when questioned on her decision by the ABC’s Lateline, said she didn’t need proof that video games encourage crime—only that she thought they could.

U.S. looking for asylum for some Guantanamo prisoners

February 17, 2006 Some men imprisoned at Guantanamo are not considered a threat by the Pentagon. For months United States officials have been trying to find a country which will grant these men asylum.

"What's clear here is that the military had its own military secret tribunal. There were no lawyers there, I wasn't there," said a Boston attorney who represents two of the detainees in question. "They determined at this tribunal that these men were not al Qaeda, they were not Taliban. They were not criminals, they were not enemies. They were a mistake."

Three months ago, the US Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Jan Krc, asked that country to give asylum to a group of Guantanamo detainees which would have set them free in Europe. The U.S. request to the Czechs about asylum was "a humanitarian request because we clearly need to place these people somewhere," Krc said.

US Judge James Robertson said in December 2005 that "nothing… establishes that the government has or could reasonably have a concern that these petitioners would return to the battlefield if released."

The U.S. State Department told ABC News yesterday in a written statement,"It is the long-standing policy of the United States not to transfer a person to a country if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the person will be tortured… we are looking into resettlement… outside China." However,the US government has denied granting asylum within the USA to these men.

With regard to Guantanamo Bay prisoners in general, the White House spokesman, Scott McClellan said yesterday, "These are dangerous terrorists that we're talking about that are there and I think we've talked about that issue before and nothing's changed in terms of our views." McClellan added, "We know that these are dangerous terrorists that are being kept at Guantanamo Bay. They are people that are determined to harm innocent civilians or harm innocent Americans. They were enemy combatants picked up on the battlefield in the war on terrorism."

I'm seeing you have problems with any official that is in someway affilliated with a U.S. entity. Please explain why you think that their statements are considered factual in specific articles.

It is a violation of site policy, and qualifies as disruption. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 18:21, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi,MrM. Actually I concur with our NPOV mandate to reign in our natural tendancy to embrace the anglo/american centric point of view and am trying to engage this "ongoing problem". That's really it in a nutshell. I think I am doing a good job of keeping my own pov(which is much more dramatic) completely out of my Wikinews contributions.

Your block of the Food not Bombs activist
I don't have a problem with the block, per se. That guy was obnoxious, and a week will do him good, or at least do us good. I do have a problem with your reasoning: the welcome message left on his talk page is hardly fair warning (as if he would just drop everything and read all the policy pages). If you want to rely on fair warning- and you should- then something stronger than   plus BrianMc's ad hoc your experiment worked message should be used by the first responder. Perhaps a  , or even a    should be created, especially if this becomes a common activist tactic. StrangerInParadise 23:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * If the user read through the message thoroughly, it should have been quite obvious that what they were doing was wrong. I feel it is an adequate warning to the user. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 23:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I guess that is the crux of the matter. If we are going to go through the exercise of presuming that initial transgressions are just "editing experiments", it is a huge shift in the other direction (and hardly plausible) to assume that the editor will assimilate and acculturate in one go by following all of the links in the hello message, especially if the only surface comment is, hello, thanks for playing!. Consider instead having a template which addresses the gravity of the matter up front, including why it is not appropriate. It is a far stretch to assume this is as obvious to him as to you and I. StrangerInParadise 00:44, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry we have different views on this, however there is no reason to bring up this conversation, especially when the user is blocked, and was warned. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 00:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

We agree the block is a good thing, regardless. We disagree on your sense here of fair warning. The take-aways on this are,
 * the opportunity to create a new set of templates to address- aggressively- specific problems
 * the need to consider that such political vandalism may become a more generally-used tactic
 * to consider the values that prompt us to regard things like this as editing experiments
 * to reconsider how we communicate to newbies, and what our expectations should be

Dispute resolution
A user is attempting dispute resolution and you are a named party. Please view this text and respond and make your own statement if you wish. You may request mediation on that page if you feel further discussion is fruitless. --Chiacomo (talk) 00:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Dispute resolution
As you may or may not be aware, I have listed myself on Dispute resolution/Users Borofkin, Mrmiscellanious, and others as having minor issues with yourself.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Xerxes1358. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Xerxes1358~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mechj. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mechj~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Brian McNeil / talk 15:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
