And thanks for the Raw Story 'Foreign Office Memo (May 24, 2004)' source! - http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Sunday_Times_leaked_Iraq_memo_on_1117.html

I got to last night's Newsnight on broadband (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/default.stm) in time - and had to wait through all that crap about British drinking habits) {g}.

Richard Norton-Taylor makes a very good point: how the hell can 'they' expect to be able to try such a case? Also noted that the details of the civilian casualties in Falluja, April 2005, were, as usual, very understated.

Anyway, it seems to me that the important work, just now, should be less about playing to the 'usual' opera; much more about preparing the case for presentation to a much wider (US, of course) audience.

Are you with me? See you all in the new Research Forum?
