This Week in Palestine, a service of the International Middle East Media Center, for September 22 through September 29, 2006.

As Palestinians commemorate the sixth anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, the Palestinian death toll approaches four thousand.

And Hamas and Fatah continue to discuss the formation of a national unity government, with no big hope on the way. These stories and more, coming up. Stay tuned.

USAF colonel wants to shoot down US airliners

MSNBC TV news broadcast from soon after Sept 11, 2001

Sir Donald Rumsfeld Knight of the British Empire complains that USAF pilots can shoot down hijacked airliners. F16 pilot declares USAF pilots will shoot down US airliners. AFTER 9/11, USAF pilots were again given the normal protocol of shooting down any airliner as needed, without permission from Rumsfeld nor Cheney nor Jr Bush, reversing the recent change before 9/11, where only Rumsfeld, Cheney or Bush could give permission.
