:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 4.19.2003 ::
:: RE Iraq ::
From The Guardian UK:
Prove Iraqi guilt, MPs tell Blair
Tony Blair is facing the threat of a fresh rebellion from Labour backbenchers who are growing increasingly alarmed that the failure to uncover weapons of mass destruction in Iraq will confirm that the war was illegal.

Protesters pour from the mosques to reclaim the streets for Islam
Iraq's huge political differences erupted into the open in the capital yesterday as tens of thousands of religious protesters called on the US to leave the country even as Washington's closest protege, Ahmad Chalabi, told a press conference that "the moral imperative is on the US to provide leadership and the Iraqi people will accept it".
On the second Muslim day of prayer since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, thousands of worshippers poured out of the mosques and marched through Baghdad's predominantly Sunni al-Azameyah neighbourhood. They chanted both anti-American and anti-Saddam slogans.
