‘Human shields’ to leave for Baghdad
LONDON: Some 50 people opposed to a war in Iraq plan to leave for Baghdad tomorrow in a double-decker bus to act as “human shields” in the country, organizers said Wednesday.
At a Downing Street demonstration the previous day, the protestors, mostly British and US citizens, left a list of sites where they plan to install themselves in the hope of averting a military strike on Baghdad.
“We have given Tony Blair a list of names of the people who will be going and the locations where we will be deployed,” said Ken O'Keefe, a former US Marine and Gulf War veteran, and an organizer.
“Officially, it is now known that Tony Blair has been notified that UK and US citizens are going to be in harm's way and will be killed by our own governments if they go ahead with this war, as they appear determined to do,” said O'Keefe, who renounced his US citizenship in protest of US foreign policy. – AFP
might be true.......

"Hmmmmm. Was that 'O'Keefe' or 'O'Keith'?"
Two stowaways fall to their deaths
SHANGHAI: Two men described as Europeans fell to their deaths from an Air France plane just before it landed in Shanghai yesterday, police, state media and sources said. An initial investigation showed the two crawled from the plane's luggage compartment and fell from the undercarriage on flight AF112 from Paris to Shanghai, the official Xinhua news agency said. The unidentified pair hit a house in Laoxiang town in Shanghai's Nanhui district, not far from the Pudong International Airport where the plane was due to land, the report said. A police official at the airport's police command centre, however, said they landed in farmland, adding that the area around the airport was surrounded by agricultural fields. “We don't know anything at the moment. The investigators are still out at the scene, but we are not suspecting terrorism,” said the police officer who declined to be identified. He said there was no evidence the pair tried to carry out terrorist attacks. Shanghai police started an investigation soon after the plane landed at the airport at 11.05am, Police have still not identified the two foreigners. A source in Shanghai close to the investigations said the two men were Europeans. – AFP Another perspective from The China Daily, a partner of Asia News Network.
Well...it has been a while hasn't it?.
How come you changed your screen name? Aren't as mad anymore after the past two elections? ;-)
Yeah...neither am I!

If he renounced his citizenship, he's obviously not a US citizen. So unless he has obtained British citizenship, he has neutered his own plan. He's a man without a country who got caught in the line of fire.
His mother probably dropped him a time or two.
David Horowitz: Noam Chomsky’s Jihad Against America
The preceeding article, by David Horowitz, decisively refutes a vile and audacious (if typical) lie by Chomsky: that the American campaign against the Taliban in Afghanistan included a planned and purposeful attempt to starve millions of Afghanis.
In fact the United States military coordinated extensively and carefully with aid agencies and NGOs. The military campaign led to an order of magnitude increase in the volume of food aid getting into the country, and greatly improved access to populations needing relief.
Also, check this out, regarding Chomsky's intimate connections with extreme leftwing antisemites in France (also tied to the Institute for Historical Review and holocaust deniers elsewhere):
Chomsky and the Jews (intro to Partners in Hate: Noam Chomsky and the Holocaust Deniers)
The full article is long, but well worth reading. If includes the only reasonably fulsome account I've seen of Chomsky's early history and the origin of his views. You'll need to use the updated link from message #14.
