=== News Update === Two British Soldiers in Basra Told Us Who the Terrorists Are Two men in Arab dress had fired at Policemen in Basra, killing one police officer. The men were immediately arrested and taken into custody by the police in Basra. Stripped of their Arab garb they were found to be British soldiers, possibly Special Forces. The Ministry of Defence in London asked the television channels to obscure the mens faces when the story was reported and terrestrial channels in the UK complied with this request. The Mod immediately made no comment and at around 10pm it was reported that the MoD did not have an explanation for the actions of the captured soldiers. http://www.aljazeerah.info/22%20o/Two%20British%20Soldiers%20in%20Basra%20Told%20Us%20Who%20the%20Terrorists%20Are%20By%20Helen%20Pender.htm === This attack on free speech will fuel Muslim hostility If Britain's proposed laws on inciting terrorism were applied fairly, those who incite wars of aggression would also be in the dock The kind of language proposed in the British legislation could easily characterise a call to resist allied occupation soldiers in Iraq as incitement.

A juxtaposition of events starkly exposed Western double standards and made the Iraqi government's claims of sovereignty even more nonsensical than it already was. http://counterpunch.org/heard09212005.html === The war in Iraq was based on a lie - and policing Basra is an illusion What a shambles. What chaos. And how quickly it all seems to be getting worse. Looking at those pictures of a Basra jail, pulverised by the British Army, it seems hard to believe that it was only six months ago that the very same British Army took me to see a jail in the very same city. http://www.opinion.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2005/09/22/do2201.xml&sSheet=/opinion/2005/09/22/ixopinion.html === British Tanks in Basra: Burning for Mr. Rothschild It must have been a great surprise to our Zionist masters that it has taken so long for their allies in Iraq to ferment the intended civil war.
