Bird flu genetic risk
ISID
"Since H5N1 avian influenza began spreading across Asia in 2003, there have been 25 recorded family clusters involving confirmed or suspected cases. In the overwhelming majority, these have involved blood relations such as siblings, parent and child, children and grandfather, or niece and aunt. In only 3 instances did both husband and wife test positive."

Squad of British soldiers beat teenage Iraqis
News Of the World
Nuclear secrets and such never leak; ergo anything that leaks they must let leak. Probably the UK is not cooperating with the Iran invasion, so the US leaked it.

Pre-war intel a 'hoax on the American people'

Tell your priest. What are you bending my ear for? I knew it was a (the word you're looking for is) fraud when you perpetrated it.

Blair-Bush deal before Iraq war
The Guardian
"... nearly two months before the invasion... Mr Bush made it clear the US intended to invade whether or not there was a second UN resolution and even if UN inspectors found no evidence of a banned Iraqi weapons programme. ... The prime minister is said to have raised no objection."
After another meandering account of how another "secret memo" became not so secret, the casting of the invasion die officially is backdated another two whole months, a time when I was already selecting papers for my Writing at War conference at CUNY. My archives from that time will show diatribes concerning invasion plans already five years old, when US/UK joint bombing of anti-aircraft began in earnest. I fear that putting the decision in 2003 may obscure the role of the rigged 2000 election and fake terrorism that followed it in preparing the 20 year "Long War" introduced yesterday by the Pentagon, raising the question what the Guardian is guarding.

US releases Iraqi civilian casualty numbers
VOA News
Major General Rick Lynch: ""If you work the numbers, you realize that 50 percent of casualties in that reporting period, are Iraqi civilians, innocent Iraqi civilians, men women and children. ...in the past 14 months, more than 5,800 people have been killed or wounded in Iraq... Bush estimated that some 30,000 Iraqis have died..."
An appropriate place for the colloquial misplaced second person pronoun that's become an American pandemic. But when "you" "work the numbers," sir, the causalties usually are only Americans and suicide bombers and their victims. If I "work the numbers," I note they nearly approximate the vagueries of the casualties of 9/11 (no data on children). Am I to infer a point here, sir? Did you pick the cut-off date for the benefit of my arithmetic? Or are you really spending money to make accurate counts at all, which seems counterproductive in a war for plunder? I suppose there's a Choice Point lifetime no-bid cost plus contract in it somewhere, but their specialty is miscounting things, and, in the last analysis, as your bosses have admitted, anything you say may be a lie calculated to fool Islamic terrorists, so, other than the ironic arithmetic, or the vaguely trinitarian working of all these numbers, what's the point of listening to you at all?
May I call your attention to the following New York Times article: 2 successive blasts kill 16 in Iraq.
After describing this gruesome and pointless slaughter of innocent civilians, the Times launches non sequitur into the following paragraph. "The bombings, breaking a period of relative calm in the capital, came as witness testimony continued in the trial of Saddam Hussein without any of the eight defendants present, after the chief judge barred them all from the courtroom for disruptive behavior."
It then proceeds to enumerate a number of US IED casualties and concludes with the following observation:
"Shiite officials responded angrily Thursday after a predawn raid by American forces in the Shiite slum of Sadr City left one woman dead and five people wounded. It was the first serious violence for some time in Sadr City, where fighting raged in 2004 between American forces and militia men loyal to the rebel Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr."
You tell me. Is the tidbit regarding the Sadam trial meant to be an item in this list of interesting recent developments in Operation Iraqi Happiness? Or is the Times suggesting a motive for cars exploding in crowded marketplaces? The last paragraph presumes some familiarity with the sects of Islam, but such necessary data is missing from the car bombing report making above query unanswerable. The Times had better check itself soon. An Ombudsman apology is not a prepaid lying card.

IAEA reports Iran to UN
CNN
"Finally, the draft called for Iran to 'implement transparency measures, as requested, including access to individuals and documents.'"
Fool me once? Shame on ... shame on you. Fool me ... fool me twice? .... Won't get fooled again! The US president quotes The Who, and Hu becomes the president of China. And Wen is PM. Think of the possibilities for Abbot and Costello. Wen to visit Moon, Hu says, denying rumors of "dark side." How do you know you consume too much corporate processed news product? Not one word, not one word from any party on Iranian Euro denominated oil bourse. Not one word even from ground zero (i.e. Tehran) on advanced plans for tactical nuclear strikes.

Iran's real crime?
Pakistan Daily Times
"...if Iran starts its own euro-denominated oil bourse and it takes off, the US dollar - already an ailing currency due to huge deficits in the US economy - will be marginalised as the global currency."

Iraq treating 12 possible bird flu cases
Yahoo! News
"The British laboratory will ... assess samples from the girl's uncle, who had cared for her when she was ill and who himself died last week of a respiratory infection. ... So far there have been no confirmed cases among poultry in Iraq, but local officials say the country's porous frontiers, a raging insurgency and general chaos in the aftermath of the U.S.-led invasion will make it hard to control any epidemic."

"Lay and Skilling told lie after lie about Enron's finances, and ... had key facts; with those facts ... they sold tens of millions of dollars of Enron stock."
Sound capitalism. Not illegal.
