RE: So You Think You Know
Funny how you never see that on CNN. The CBC and BBC carry a bit of it, but mostly it's too dangerous forthem to go out anymore.
The mass punishment in Falluja was brutal. Mass punishment is also a war crime, so chalk another one up for the Bush team.

It's amazing how the Reverend Blair reserves skepticism only for a certain area of thought but gives no consistent skepticism that is music to his ears.
Those were American civilians and they made a calculated decision of risk to work for a company there.
You know as well as I do that the terrorists have no clue who any of the foreigners are. Being "foreign" is enough and so it is for you who approve such idiocy.
You've seen the terrorists kill foreigners who hated America. You've seen terrorists kill foreigners who had a long history of trying to help Iraq but were still killed because they were a "foreigner."
Your intellectual approval and acceptance of this shotgun approach is inconsistent with your condemnation of a shotgun held by an American.
You'll find a rationale.
Your approval of such pieces standing as objective journalism shows your lack of consistent skepticism across the board.
You're not as ethical as you think you are.
But as long as the families were afraid how they're relatives would turn them in for a benefit from Saddam, you felt another 10 years of that festering sick psychosis was so much better, complete with 10 square miles of mass graves.
Your job now is to lessen and diminutize that fact.
Work hard.

What the hell does that have to do with the total destruction of Falluja Jim that was a war crime period 8O
There's alot of horror in all that detail, mrmom2.
The police state !!! Hobbes wrote that life is brutish, nasty and short in anarchy, the absence of law enforced and accepted.
Let's make that even more plain in another way:
When you fight evil, when you engage with evil, so you too will you become evil.
It's a riddle owned exclusively by the devil.
Heh heh.
None of us can face evil without becoming same.
None of us.
This ain't just biblical.
It's as true as gravity.
And so when terrorism, tacitly and obliquely countenanced by good thinking intellectuals is allowed, you will witness those who hate it will fight it with all of their means, and oh yes the ever-revolving door of righteous paybacks as a sidebar in your daily news.

The last paragraph is a very messed up disclaimer.
The first paragraph tries hard to interpret the meaning of a low level ABC note, noticeably not attributed to anyone in particular.
It's the author's interpretation that is headlined.
Just take a step back and relax.
Think about international coverage and American coverage --- all full of inadequacies, mistakes, biases.
Ultimately if you want to know, you can find out.
And as a reader it's a good rule to be most doubtful of anything that subscribes to your own belief system, because the media and authors know their market --- YOU.

Halliburton !
The epithet of the world.
There aren't too many companies with large enough bureaucracy and large enough experience to deal with large national bureaucracies, entailing fatal risk to their employees, dealing with byzantine procurement procedures.
Few companies in the world can even handle such a nightmare, so they might as well make it worth their while.
How abominable !!!

A British officer said that some of the tactics employed by American forces would not be approved by British commanders.
The officer said: "US troops have the attitude of shoot first and ask questions later. They simply won't take any risk.
"It has been explained to US commanders that we made mistakes in Northern Ireland, namely Bloody Sunday, and paid the price.
"I explained that their tactics were alienating the civil population and could lengthen the insurgency by a decade. Unfortunately, when we ex-plained our rules of engagement which are based around the principle of minimum force, the US troops just laughed."
