<DIV>Today's (Wed. April 27) Spokesman Review has a news article about the possible "censoring" of reporting the extent of global terror attacks, both in Iraq and elsewhere, by operatives in the Shrub administration. Bush's lapdog Condi Rice was apparently complicit in this "censorship." Some think the image of the Bush administration winning the war on terror was a political motivation to block the facts from coming out: in fact the war on terror is not being won. In fact terror attacks in Iraq, and around the world, remain high, and the US backed Iraq "government" is not stopping the insurgency after the so called "elections" that were supposed to stabilize the country and marginalize the insurgency.</DIV>

The terms we hear now are “Suunis” and “Shiites”. The reasoning for this is simple. What started out as a liberation became an invasion which is now becoming a civil war.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
