The Defense Department must immediately stop inoculating troops with anthrax vaccine, a federal judge ruled yesterday, saying that the Food and Drug Administration acted improperly when it approved the experimental injections for general use.
Concluding that the FDA violated its own rules by approving the vaccine late last year, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said the mandatory vaccination program — which has inoculated more than 1.2 million troops since 1998 — is (…)

No Exit From Iraq? Neither Bush nor Kerry will get us out

by Justin Raimondo
The tragicomedy of errors currently playing in Iraq took an ominous turn the other day when the ambush of 49 Iraqi National Guards by insurgents was blamed on ... the U.S. And, no, the accuser wasn’t Michael Moore, or Noam Chomsky, or any of the other demonized figures in the Bush-neocon gallery of hate: it was "Prime Minister" Iyad Allawi, our very own puppet, who unilaterally decided to cut his own strings (or, at least, appear to be seen doing so). Allawi told the (…) -

President Bush says no one knows if the ammunition was taken before or after the fall of Baghdad on April 9, 2003 when (…) -

Americans prepare for the ’final assault’ on rebel stronghold
29 October 2004 par (Open-Publishing)
By Kim Sengupta in Baghdad
For the American military, Fallujah is "the last battle", an overwhelming assault that will destroy the epicentre of the rebellion sweeping through the country, the beginning of the end of major American military action in Iraq.
For the insurgents, Fallujah is a rallying cry. An American attack will, they declare, lead to retribution throughout Iraq, re-invigorating the resistance, just as an attack on the city did six months earlier.

Donald Rumsfeld, the man responsible for US defense except when things go wrong, tells lies.
So why should the US military do any different?
Here is a Reuters’ report of 20 October :
"FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) US warplanes killed a family of six in raids against rebels led by Al-Qaeda ally Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi . . . A witness saw a man and a woman and (…) -
