We must attain to a conception of history that is in keeping with this insight. Then we shall clearly realize that it is our task to bring about a real state of emergency, and this will improve our position in the struggle against Fascism. One reason why Fascism has a chance is that in the name of progress its opponents treat it as a historical norm. The current amazement that the things we are experiencing are 'still' possible in the twentieth century is not philosophical. This amazement is not the beginning of knowledge--unless it is the knowledge that the view of history which gives rise to it is untenable."
--Walter Benjamin, "Theses on the Philosophy of History," (Spring, 1940) trans. Harry Zohn.

" "It is very likely that Nasr Osama (the real name of Abu Omar) is currently being held prisoner in Egypt, after being released between April and May 2004, under a 'forced residence' regime, in Alexandria", writes the Judge for Preliminary Investigations of Milan, Guido Salvini, in the arrest warrant issued for Abu Omar, accused of international terrorism, and kidnapped by the CIA. "Should he be released again, he would disappear, and without an extradition request by Italy, he would be out of reach for the Italian and EUropean justice"."
