This is my first post. Sorry in advance for any errors. I hope it is not a repeat. I searched long and hard before posting.

I can't wait for this story to be trumpeted in the NY Times, Wash Post, CBS, Nightline, 60 Minutes, ABC, NBC, etc., etc., etc..

I can't wait because I'll be waiting for something that will never happen. What will continue to happen is the trumpeting of stories of anti-American Iraqis.

But... but... I thought Islam is the religion of peace. Am I wrong? /sarcasm.

At best, the major networks will gloss over this story.

How much longer will we, the silent majority, sit back and watch our country's press churn out lies and ignore the truth? How long before our second civil war occurs?

[sweetliberty]

Very good, if chilling, first post. Of course, the war still can't be justified because we haven't found the WMD's yet. < /sarcasm >

So, the Liberals think Iraq would be better off with these monsters still in power?

Probably not. But if were a choice of Iraq being ruled by the Husseins or the United States governed by the GOP, guess which vision would win their hearts?

SADDAM WAS A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION!

[facedown]

Stand at the mass grave at al-Hillah where up to 15,000 people are buried, hands tied behind their backs, bullets through their brains

nope. no weapons of mass destruction here.

the peace first crowd has blood on their hands, and mouths.

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah, but what about the weapons of mass destruction?

Some one I know lost a hand in a similar machine. It shreds anything.

Ann Clwyd is a leftist Labour memeber of Parliament. But with Tony Blair all the way on this one.

Good article. And the BaghdadBulletin.com website that it came from is an interesting source.

I've been searching for direct news sources that are on the ground in Iraq, reporting on what is really going on in Iraq. I especially want to find English language sources.

I'm not sure what to make of the Baghdad Bulletin. At first, it appeard to be a good source of information from inside Iraq. I posted a few stories from that site (possibly even this article) a couple weeks ago.

Now, I'm not 100% certain that it is entirely legitimate, though.

The domain name is registered to a London, England address, not to an address in Iraq. Also, the web site is hosted in the USA (Colorado I think when I traced it). That's not an indication that the site is bogus. Actually, hosting the site on a U.S. server that's well secured by an experienced U.S. hosting service is probably a good idea for any Iraqi newspaper on the web. It will help to avoid denial of service attacks and hacking from Baathist hackers.

Finally, some of the "reporters" appear to be British nationals who originally went to Iraq as "human shields." Others are environmental activists (Greenpeace members, etc.). At this point, I think they are a better information source than our own American media, or the British and European media outlets. But I'm still not sure what they are publishing is as close to what is really happening on the ground in Iraq as we might like.

Having said all that, I check their site every few days to see what they say. I just take some of their reports with an appropriate grain of salt. Usually it calls for a smaller grain of salt than say CNN or ABC News, but I'm still not sure they deliver the unfiltered truth.

Thanks for a great article. I wish it'd see the light of day in our US liberal media. I actually feel sick to my stomach at the depravity of that regime. I don't find any presence of God in their actions. Is that what Evil Incarnate looks like?
