THE WAR IN IRAQ--A YEAR LATER: Donald Rumsfeld is now claiming that the military, not the press, broke the prison abuse story.

An explosion in Baghdad kills four people. US deaths rise in the wake of Saddam's capture. But who are we kidding... Bush doesn't care because war doesn't cost the moneyed. The Army's top general said US forces may stay in Iraq until 2006. Will America get caught between their allies ... continue reading

December 17th, 2003

A bomb near a fuel tanker exploded in Baghdad killing at least 12 people. Iraqi's enjoyment of Saddam's capture has faded back into resentment toward US occupation. A trial of Saddam Hussein could embarrass the West. Saddam's capture still doesn't justify the invasion. This sounds familiar, White House vows that ... continue reading
