3. I believe the UK press are nearly as Corporate Whores as America's! A
title of an article is supposed to reflect the most serious point of the article. (basic journalism). As the you can see in 98% of the Whore American publishings, the title does NOT reflect the most serious event, "death". Soon I will expect the American Whore Journalist to be publishing titles like, "Troops went to pick flowers" and then you'll have to read to the 9th paragraph to find out they were all killed in an ambush.

2. Wars create terror, schizophrenic foreign policy creates injustice,
raping third world nations' natural resources creates poverty, despair and hopelsesness, this creates a climate of dissent against those who would do so, in such ways is extremism, hatred, distrust, and terrorism cultured and developed.

4. Eight policemen, five Shiite poultry vendors killed in Iraq
~snip~
And five Iraqi Shiites buying poultry from farms south of Baghdad for resale in the capital were found dead near a river in the Triangle of Death area, a relative of two of them said.

The men, aged 20 to 45, went missing two days ago after leaving Baghdad in three minibuses to buy poultry in Yussifiyah, said Hashim Abdul Hussein, 32, who lost two of his nephews.

He and other relatives were led to a small river in the lush agricultural area to identify the bodies.

"It was a horrible sight," Hussein said. "Unbelievable."

He said they were all shot in the head and their hands tied.
