It was really an interesting statement to me; it made me think of two things, the first one is the intention behind this statement, while the second was the attitude of Kurds, especially Kurd musicians, towards researchers and researching. As for the first thing, I felt that there was a problem, maybe a social or psychological, of the Kurdish people in general, and the musicians in particular.

Since the military brought the first detainees to Guantánamo in January 2002, the Pentagon has consistently refused to comprehensively identify those it holds. While it has, at various times, released information about individuals who have been detained at Guantánamo, it has always maintained ambiguity about the population of the facility at any given moment, declining even to specify precisely the number of detainees held at the base. We have sought to identify the detainee population using a variety of records, mostly from habeas corpus litigation, and we have sorted the current population into subgroups using both the government’s allegations against detainees and detainee statements about their own affiliations and conduct.

  • War on Terrorism
    1 The U.S. War on Terror Alex Danchev ‘America is at war,’ reminded the President recently, when the latest plot against America was revealed. This state of war is codified in ‘The National Security Strategy of the United States’, issued from the White House, not to mention ‘The National Defense Strategy of the United States’, issued from the Pentagon.1 George W. Bush is the self-styled war president and self-willed commander-in-chief. As those who have hitched themselves to his chariot have discovered (‘Yo Blair’), what he says goes. ‘I’m the commander, see, I don’t need to explain – I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the president.’2 In an era when wars are commonly supposed to be undeclared – when war itself is a word that dare not speak its name – the ‘global war on terror’ suffers if anything from a surfeit of declaration. The GWOT is among other things a war of words, and acronyms, a war of characterization and mischaracterization. Some of these words are new (‘PUC’),3 or combined in gruesome neologism (‘extraordinary rendition’); some are shop-soiled (‘values’); some are deliberately anodyne (‘detainee’); some are hyperbolic, yet curiously reversible (‘civilization’, ‘barbarian’); some are almost unpronounceable (‘torture’). The National Security Strategy characterizes it as both a war of arms and a war of ideas.4 That appears to be a serviceable enough distinction, as far as it goes, but it has the effect of underwriting a propensity to elevate the former and relegate the latter, at least when it comes to priorities for action and resource allocation.

  • Thesis (2.022Mb)
    ABSTRACT Mara Ashley Waters Director: Sarah-Jane Murray, Ph.D. Stories are a way for us to share what we love and believe to everyone in the world. It's a medium that has the ability to cross all divisions, no matter our differences. With storytelling comes the responsibility of what truth, or danger, we choose to create and give to the world. With this in mind, my story takes on the task of giving a villain's backstory rather than a hero's, attempting to show that even the worst of characters that pop off of the page have so much more to them than just inherent evil. ! !
