    By Erin Cunningham IPS News, Inter Press Service May 13, 2009 Um Abdullah cannot remember the last time she was able to feed meat to her eight children.  
    http://endthesiege.blogspot.com/
    
    Extractions: Um Abdullah cannot remember the last time she was able to feed meat to her eight children. She does know that for the past week the single meal she cooked for them each day consisted only of lentils. And that on one day, she had received aid coupons from the United Nations, which she subsequently sold to buy tomatoes and eggplant at the local market Um Abdullah is a 42-year-old dressmaker and hails from Jabaliya, a cramped refugee camp on the outskirts of Gaza City. Stories like hers are commonplace across the Gaza Strip, where years of sanctions, siege and now war have battered the territory's economy and put many essentials out of reach for the majority of the population.

Earlier, Stewart was commisssioned by the US State Department to oversee Iraqi prisons, including Abu Ghraib, even though he was in charge of Arizona prisons during a period when women were raped, sodomoized and assaulted by prison guards. Stewart also fought to build a prison for "Mexican nationals" in the US operated by a private prison company. Then, Stewart went to work as a private prison consultant, following a policy and pattern of torture, prisoner abuse and private prison profiteering during the Bush administration. The American Friends Service Committee opposed the appointment in a statement.

    Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For other uses, see Eyes Wide Open (exhibit) (disambiguation) Eyes Wide Open logo Eyes Wide Open is an exhibit created by the American Friends Service Committee observing the American soldiers and marines that have died in the Iraq War . It contains a pair of combat boots to represent every American soldier and marine that has died in the war, as well as shoes representing Iraqi civilians who have lost their lives during the invasion and occupation. The exhibit was first shown in Chicago 's Federal Plaza in January 2004. At that time, the exhibit contained 504 pairs of boots. As of March 2007, the national exhibit contained over 3,400 pairs of boots and had visited more than 100 cities in 40 states. However, as a result of its unmanageable size, the exhibit has been broken down state-by-state. Currently, nearly every state has its own state exhibit. The national exhibit in its entirety would currently contain more than 4,000 pairs of empty boots. According to the American Friends Service Committee , the intent of the exhibit is to present a visual reminder of the "human cost" of the Iraq War and provide a place for public mourning.

The Community of Sant'Egidio is a worldwide community of more than 40,000 members who work for the cause of peace in more than 60 countries around the globe. "The Sant'Egidio Community demonstrates the important role that non-governmental organizations can play in conflict resolution by bringing together parties to violent conflicts for face-to-face discussions of their common future," said Margery Walker, clerk of the AFSC Nobel Nominating Committee. "Their commitment to nonviolence and their sustained and effective peacebuilding work amply qualify the Community of Sant'Egidio to join the ranks of other Nobel Peace Laureates who have pointed the way toward world peace."
