The Truth About Intelligence In Iraq: "Bring It On"

At Least 18 Killed and Scores Wounded in Attack

Baghdad Blast

US admits cameraman was shot dead at close range

Govt. Excuses Wearing Very Thin!
Inefficiency, Mistaken Identities And Cameras
But when a US military tank crew guns down a Reuters photo-journalist who is filming a US-run prison in Iraq, because they thought his camera was an RPG (rocket propelled grenade launcher) then I am not buying any stories of mistaken identity, mistaking a camera for an RPG, or any other excuse. The photo-journalist was filming something that the US didn't wan't filmed and the military murdered him in cold blood

Media Casualties
Cameraman feared being shot by US soldiers
US troops 'crazy' in killing of cameraman

American voters have two choices: Bush or Bush-lite

Iraq becomes a battleground in war on infidels

Idiot or Liar? Either Way, Bush Is Unfit for Office

No 10 knew: Iraq no threat

Bush's lie tactics to make case for Iraq war are Orwellian

Bogus Blair, Bogus Bush
For the most part, American media is doing a lousy job of following the British investigation of how Blair and his aides spun the case for war with Iraq. From a journalistic standard, that's bizarre because the story of official deceit in Britain is also the story of official deceit in the United States.

While the lights are on, America shuts its eyes

Lies, damned lies, and news
For instance, last week's much-publicized story about the FBI's break up of a terrorist plot to buy shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles.
I'm sure 95 percent of the American public cheered at the news, thinking, "Hey, the bad guys lost another one." But consider the facts. No terrorists were arrested, and no weapons were seized.

Drug war distortions
