STRANGE INCIDENT AT NEW YORK'S LA GUARDIA AIRPORT
If you visit
http://www.rense.com/general36/la.htm
You will find a report on a 3/22/03 incident at
New York's La Guardia
Airport. Had this woman been anything other than
Israeli
she would've still
been in government custody. This is going to
far, now!
The airport had been evacuated because a
mysterious white powder found on
this woman at the airport. It made some people
sick and this Israeli also
had a gas mask. Was this gas mask used to
protect her from this white
substance?
We'll never know because they let her get away!

CENSORSHIP: ISLAM IS THE TARGET IN GUANTANAMO BAY
I write with reference to your story GUANTANAMO
BAY
INNOCENTS RELEASED AFTER A YEAR AND SEVEN MONTHS
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2886245.stm
You have pulled that from the BBC website site.
What
is interesting and also strange is that this
story is
different from what was actually broadcast on BBC
TV
(which a local
PBS
channel is broadcasting in our
area
to cover the aggression against
Iraq).
The BBC TV broadcast today had a segment about
the
release of these brothers. The narrator said
specifically that the former prisoners complained
of
being abused at Guantanamo. One specifically
said
that the Americans took away his copy of the
Qur'an.
He also said that while they were at prayer the
Americans used to harrass them by spraying water
hoses
on them and releasing gas.
I don't know why the BBC broadcast those words,
but
omitted them from the written report, but I
assume it
was some lame attempt at censorship. In any case
perhaps this will serve to complete the picture
unless there are other angles that BOTH the
website
AND the TV broadcast cut out and hid from us!!
Wa-s-salam!

PAKISTANI
WOMAN SPEAKS OUT: DENIAL OF RIGHTS
AFTER
9.11
(Introduction by a reporter)
The following is a brief description of Naheed
Morrill's case, in her words.
Due to the events that occurred on September
11th, there has been a
backlash against Muslims living in America and
many have been falsely accused
of supporting terrorist organizations. Contrary
to what the American Justice
System stands for. Naheed Morrill was considered
guilty until proven
innocent. Naheed Morrill is a practicing Muslim
who has the right to be with
her three daughters and not have them live with
an abusive father. She is an American
citizen who is proud of her country and
condemns the acts of
terrorist organizations. She has brought her
daughters up in America and
taught them American values as well as the values
of Pakistan and the
religion of Islam; she took them to Pakistan each
summer and always returned
to the United States. Solely because she looks
different, she has been
denied the right to a fair trial and the father
of the children has used the
present backlash against Pakistani Muslims to his
advantage, even alleging
that her religion and ethnicity were crimes in
themselves. If a Pakistani or
Arab man had done this to an American woman, the
outcome would be to her
advantage. Naheed needs your financial support
to win her case. We need to
support our Muslims during this crucial time.
Donate generously in order for
justice to prevail. Please support Naheed in her
efforts to gain back her
right to the custody of her children.
· "On September 2nd, 2000, I arrived at Dulles
International Airport from
Pakistan with my three children after a three
month vacation and twenty-three
hour flight. My husband, C. Grant Morrill
informed me that he had sold our
marital home and moved us into a one bedroom
apartment in Falls Church. He
left me in one apartment on the 5th floor and
moved himself and our children
to a separate apartment on the 7th floor without
my knowledge. I did not
know the whereabouts of my children for a week
and was left abandoned,
financially and emotionally, without any
explanation
· I hired an attorney and filed for divorce in
Fairfax Circuit Court on the
grounds of desertion and cruelty on the 2nd of
November with Judge McKay. I
was granted sole physical and legal temporary
custody of our three children.
A custody trial was set for April 4th, 2001. In
the best interest of the
children, I rented a home in their school
district in Mclean, Virginia, in
order for them to stay in the same environment
they were accustomed to.
· On April 2nd, 2001, both parties agreed to
leave sole physical and legal
custody to me with alternate weekend visitation
for C. Grant Morrill and six
weeks of summer visitation for each parent.
According to the custody decree,
I had the kids for the first six weeks of the
summer. I left for Pakistan,
with a stop over in London, on my annual summer
visitation on June 19th,
2001, with the permission of my husband and of
the Fairfax Court.
· C. Grant Morrill went to the Federal
Authorities shortly after my flight
took off, alleging that I had kidnapped the kids
and taken them to Pakistan
without his knowledge. As I had the custody of
the kids, the Federal
Authorities refused to take any action; he then
went to the Fairfax Court and
claimed he did not know his whereabouts and the
children could end up in a
"law-less country such as Pakistan". He said the
chances of him getting the
girls back from Pakistan were zip, as Pakistan
had a new dictator unless he
had temporary custody of the kids, that way he
could retrieve them from
London under the Hague Convention with the help
of the Interpol in Europe.
· On June 22nd, 2001, Judge McWeeny of Fairfax
Circuit Court granted C.
Grant Morrill custody of our three minor children
without any evidence or
testimony under oath from anyone, including
himself. Armed with this new
court order, C. Grant Morrill filed three charges
of international kidnapping
in the Federal Eastern District Court of
Alexandria and the F.B.I. was put on
red alert to arrest me on site in Europe.
· On July 16th, 2001 Scotland Yard police
arrested me in London. After
spending a night in jail, the Magistrate in the
London high court released me
on my own reconnaissance. My British passports
and tickets were taken for
me. C. Grant Morrill went with the British police
and forcibly took the kids
and hid out in the American Embassy in the middle
of the night. Two weeks
later, C. Grant Morrill went back to the U.S.
with our children and I was
unaware of their location.
· On August 16th, 2001, a month after my
arrest, U.S. Marshals came to
London to escort me back to the U.S. Upon my
return, I was thrown into the
Federal jail in Alexandria, pending my trial, set
for December 4th, 2001.
After two weeks, I was released to my criminal
attorney as a third party
custodian with an electronic monitor under house
arrest for three months.
· On November 16th, 2001, Judge Ellis dismissed
the kidnapping charges
against me and I was put in a pre-trial diversion
program for one year. On
December 27th, 2001, Jude Ellis signed the
dismissal papers and I went
straight back to the Fairfax court to re-gain
custody of my children.
Because of the September 11th events changing
the perception and outlook of
my status as a Pakistani, Muslim mother, I was
ordered supervised visitation
for three hours once a week and denied complete
rights as a mother to this
date.
· On August 29th, 2002, after the three day
custody trial, Judge Hudson
labeled me "high risk" and therefore, allowed
only for continued supervised
visitation, despite calling me a fit and better
parent. Both the Federal and
Fairfax courts dismissed the kidnapping charges
against me, yet, denied me
rights of custody unless "I behave myself" for
the next six months until the
custody re-trial.
· Grant Morrill's latest allegations in the
court against me are that I
used marital funds "to support al Qaeda or
similar types of Muslim
organizations. Naheed Morrill is a Pakistani
National and a Muslim. Over
the last few years, Naheed Morrill has
increasingly expressed hatred for the
U.S. and American values."
· On March 5th, 2003, the Commissioner on
Divorce Hearings granted me
divorce on the grounds of cruelty and desertion
by C. Grant Morrill. On
March 26th, 2003, we will go to court for
equitable distribution with Judge
Bellows. On April 2nd, 2003, the Commonwealth
attorney in the Juvenile
Domestic Court will prosecute C. Grant Morrill on
criminal charges of
"stalking and threats to kill".
