No 10 backtracks on claim
that two British soldiers were executed

Tony Blair appeared to backtrack yesterday when his official spokesman said there was no "absolute evidence" that two British soldiers who were killed after being separated from their unit in southern Iraq were executed, as the prime minister had earlier suggested.

Our Luke Was Not Executed
THE heartbroken sister of ambushed soldier Luke Allsopp insisted last night: "My brother was not executed." Nina Allsopp hit out at "lies" surrounding his death. Grieving Nina - 29 today - said: "We have been told by the Army that Luke died in action.

Oil ArmyOil War - BBC
The advocates of war insist it's not about oil. But global oil production is on the brink of terminal decline and when the West begins to run short of supplies - Iraq could be a lifeline. After World War I, the oil companies carved up Iraq. Shell, BP, Exxon and Total all had stakes in the Iraq Petroleum Company. They paid pennies for each barrel of oil and built a pipeline to take it away. In 1972 the Iraqis nationalised the industry and threw the foreigners out. From then on Western oil companies could only dream of Iraq’s oil reserves - the second largest in the world.

Russian weapons inspector: US will find anthrax
In addition, the coalition could find mustard gas, tabun, sarin, cyclosarin and VX gas. The exact substance as well as the exact quantity is, probably, still undecided. But whatever it is, not a single sample of this weapon will be presented for an independent expertise, believes Russian chemical weapons expert and member of the UN inspection team in Iraq Kirill Scheluchenko.

Rumsfeld Warns Syria: Stop Assisting Iraq
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned Syria on Friday to stop providing Iraq with supplies and weapons to use against coalition forces. There are countries assisting the US with this illegal Invasion. Certainly all other countries should assist the Iraqi people in repelling this immoral and illegal invasion.

From "Plain Sailing" to "Where the Hell Are We?"

Iraqi journalists were among those killed

U.S. Media Applaud Bombing of Iraqi TV
"Once again, we see military and political commanders from the democratic world targeting a television network simply because they don't like the message it gives out." The invasion of Iraq is already a crime against humanity and deliberately targeting non-combatants only compounds this.

Since Mr. Rumsfeld managed to remember the Geneva Convention only after a TV interview with some American captives, it is worth knowing how the US/UK coalition observe the rules of this convention.

Blair, the War Criminal
My constituency Labour Party has just voted to recommend that Tony Blair reconsider his position as party leader because he gave British backing to a war against Iraq without clearly expressed support from the UN. I agree with this motion. I also believe that since Blair is going ahead with his support for a US attack without unambiguous UN authorisation, he should be branded as a war criminal and sent to The Hague.

Hungry Villagers Praise Saddam
As the first aid convoys rolled into southern Iraq on Wednesday, a cheer went up from several hundred Safwan villagers who jumped on running boards and banged the sides of 18-wheeler trucks. But even before the drivers had opened their doors, several dozen of the assembled turned the cheers into a song: "We give our blood and hearts to Saddam!" they chanted and danced, the volume growing as defiance swept the crowd.
