4. This has been suspected for a while now, since
the coalition keeps offing journalists.

6. It would not surprise me. I have thought the same thing. Of
course anything from the WashTimes is suspect.

7. Yes ever since they blasted the hotel in Baghdad and killed...
...several journalists without regret or even and investigation. Just a sample of what the storm troopers have in mind for Americans when they return after "conquering the world". If we do not recognize George W Bush as our supreme dictator and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and adapt the teachings of the World Dominionist Church of God, expect the U.S. military to do to non-conforming Americans what they have been doing to Iraqis for since April 2003. It is just beginning folks. Corporate communes will be the next order of business.
