Oh, man, you wouldn’t believe what those antiwar “extremists” are up to! According to our intrepid G-men: “Protesters have sometimes used ‘training camps’ to rehearse for demonstrations, the Internet to raise money and gas masks to defend against tear gas.”

There was a time after September 11th 2001 when the word terrorist meant something really bad. The term has lost its solemnity right after the Israeli government had opportunistically borrowed it and used it to describe any Palestinian child who threw a stone at an Israeli bulldozer that had just illegally demolished his house.

Seven months into the illegal occupation of Iraq, and despite the overwhelming force in numbers, training, and equipment, there is no sign of an end to the resistance activities of Iraqi partisans. The question begs to be answered: How? How are people without the vast amounts of money, weapons and training enjoyed by American forces succeeding in killing and wounding so many of our soldiers?

It’s the price of joining George Bush’s “war on terror”. Al-Qa’ida was quite specific. The Saudis would pay. The Australians would pay. The Italians would pay. The British would pay. They have. Canada is still on the list. Until, I suppose, it is our turn again.

The USA President?s visit to Britain has attracted considerable attention, criticism and debate. The first state visit by a USA President since Woodrow Wilson in 1918 has attracted tens of thousands to the streets, significant column inches in newspapers and passionate views on both sides. However in the whole hullabaloo surrounding the visit and the accompanying circus, a number of important points have been missed.

We in the Arab world all learned to dream of democracy, even without making its acquaintance, even without knowing what it could do for us, but somehow, democracy never found us. Then its messengers started telling a different story. We now know that a new era is starting, an era of post-democracy, an era in which democracy is having a facelift, its norms being tailored to special needs, its laws revised.
Media Lens
No links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda, no weapons of mass destruction, and now no question that the invasion of Iraq has led to a massive increase in the threat of terrorism, as the series of bombings across Iraq, in Riyadh, Casablanca, Jakarta, and Istanbul have made horrifically clear.

David Kelly, giving evidence to the prime minister’s intelligence and security committee in closed session on July 16 - the day before his suicide - made a comment the significance of which has so far been missed. He said: “Within the defence intelligence services I liaise with the Rockingham cell.” Unfortunately nobody on the committee followed up this lead, which is a pity because the Rockingham reference may turn out to be very important indeed.
Jews Against Zionism
Following the bombing last week of the synagogues in Istanbul, the leaders of the Zionist state arrogantly proclaim that such events make it necessary for Jews to leave their native countries and move to the most dangerous place on Earth for the Jewish People ? the State of Israel.
