3. What security? The only ones enjoying protection seem to be
the U.S. military chiefs and the oil companies.

5. If only some brave network would SHOW the dead coming back and
the injured........................MAYBE the public would wake the hell up!!

No media coverage of these atrocities is like living in the former soviet republic. No news is good news???????

6. Can you see the Pentagon letting that be filmed?
You would be off to Cuba for a vacation. I think I have only see the Girl that was a POW filmed. It does not even get out of Europe. Any other thoughts on what has happened to all that news? Not a picture out of Arlington either. I have never seen it so tight. It is about time to flood the inter-net with this or are people waiting to just before Nov? This is a very interesting subject and just what has happened?

7. In another thread I suggested supporting FSTV

I'm sending in my bucks to support the Free Speech TV and whatever else they put out there that supports the "other side", if I can use that term. The TRUTH in other words.
I was watching them last night; they had a fund drive going on. They showed some heart wrenching video of what Children go through in war. I was riveted with sorrow and anger watching it!! They frequently have speakers who tell the other side......ie the truth.
They need support, as one avenue in addition to the internet.

Just a thought :)

2. Maybe Paul Bremer's ego finally burst.
On the serious tip though I hope no one was injured or worse.

4. ROFLMAO

OK I gotta get out of here for a while.

I also hope that no one of any nationality, religion, gender or sexual orientation was hurt.

Not much more....

<BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two roadside bombs went off in Baghdad on Friday morning, hours before the planned signing of Iraq's interim constitution. No injuries were reported.

A third explosion was heard about two hours later, but there were no immediate details on the location or cause.

The first explosion occurred about 9:40 a.m. local time (1:40 a.m. EST) in the al-Jihad district on the road leading to Baghdad's airport, about seven miles southwest of the U.S.-led occupation authority's headquarters.>
