9/11 Commission found there was no "collaborative operational relationship" between Iraq and al Qaeda. [But, we already knew that! The real question is whether there is a "collaborative operational relationship" between the Bush NeoCons and al Qaeda. After all, how else can we explain the Penta-lawn phenomenon?] http://www.legitgov.org/9_1_1_oddities.html
Congress Eyes Iraq Costs - Surpass $100B --As the costs of Halliburton's corporate welfare ['fighting and rebuilding in Iraq'] keep mounting by the billions, lawmakers and policy makers are debating how much more will be needed and whether money used so far was well spent [?!?].

PM admits graves claim 'untrue' --Downing Street has admitted to The Observer that repeated claims by Tony Blair that '400,000 bodies had been found in Iraqi mass graves' is untrue, and only about 5,000 corpses have so far been uncovered. The claims by Blair in November and December of last year, were given widespread credence, quoted by MPs and widely published, including in the introduction to a US government pamphlet on Iraq's mass graves.
Bush green lights arms sales to Iraq --US Dictator George W. Bush on Wednesday gave the green light to US arms sales to Iraq's fledgling government, which faces deadly insurgent violence nearly one month after assuming power.

'They can have it' U.S. pulls back from turbulent province --After more than a year of fighting, U.S. troops have stopped patrolling large swaths of Iraq's restive Anbar province, according to the top American military intelligence officer in the area.
More troops killed in July than June in Iraq, says military --More U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq during the first three weeks of July than in the entire month of June, dashing hopes that the handover of sovereignty at the end of last month would ease U.S. losses or bring Iraqis a respite from violence.
Three soldiers die in helicopter attack in Iraq --Three U.S. soldiers died this Wednesday when the helicopter in which they were flying was brought down in the locality of Ramadi, west of Baghdad, according to the Arab television network Al Arabiya, quoted by EFE.

Army rations rehydrated by urine --Would you eat food cooked in your own urine? Food scientists working for the US military have developed a dried food ration that troops can hydrate by adding the filthiest of muddy swamp water or even peeing on it. The ration comes in a pouch containing a filter that removes 99.9 per cent of bacteria and most toxic chemicals from the water used to rehydrate it, according to the Combat Feeding Directorate, part of the US Army Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Massachusetts.
Stand firm on Iran, U.S. urges Europeans --The United States is pressing Britain, France and Germany for strong measures against Iran in response to its 'violating a nonproliferation agreement' reached with the three last fall, a State Department official said Wednesday.
More Revelations in Berger Inquiry Wider Circle in Regime Claims Prior Knowledge of Probe --For the second day in a row, regime officials said yesterday that more of Dictator Bush's aides knew about an investigation of former Clinton national security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger than the White House originally acknowledged. The question is sensitive because Democrats have charged that Republicans leaked word of the investigation to try to taint next week's Democratic National Convention and to distract attention from criticisms of Bush in the report of the commission investigating the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. [Nah... 'ya think?]
Warren [9/11] Commission Final Report (full text)
Sept. 11 panel recommends broad intelligence overhaul in final report --The United States government could not protect its citizens from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks because it failed to appreciate the threat posed by al-Bush-duh operatives who exploited those lapses to carry out the deadliest assault ever on American soil, the chairman of the Warren [Sept. 11] commission said Thursday.

John Kerry's headquarters on Thursday after a package with white powder was opened by campaign staff. The discovery of the package prompted authorities to order a fleet of emergency vehicles to converge on the location, and personnel in biohazard suits entered the building. [Update: initial tests on the white powder indicate garlic powder. But, this Reichwing terror tactic needs to be added to Michael Rectenwald's list of events possibly paving the way to for a stolen election. Reports of real or imagined al-Bush-duh ricin/botulism/anthrax scares that seem to only befall... Democrats!!]
More GOP dirty tricks: Veterans' group critical of Kerry backed by Bush supporter --Bob Perry, a major supporter of Dictator Bush and the Republican Party, is the biggest financial backer of a veterans group seeking to discredit Democrat John Kerry's military service, according to federal records. Perry, a Houston homebuilder, gave $100,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that has been critical of Kerry's anti-war activities after he returned from Vietnam. That accounted for two-thirds of the organization's receipts to date.
Station pulls liberal show after threats --A Silver City radio station yanked a liberal talk show off the air because of pressure from advertisers, the station's owner says. "It's a shame that, in America, we can't have someone with an opposing view," said Matt Runnels, owner of KNFT.
New York City officials muzzle anti-Republican protests --by John Lavine "Negotiations between New York City officials and organizers of protests planned for next month�s Republican Party convention have reached an impasse, with the city rejecting all demands for an accessible public rally. Instead, the administration of billionaire Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg is insisting that protesters be relegated to an isolated strip of highway far from the convention site."
Media Take Bryant Ruling to Supreme Court --Media organizations have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in their fight to publicize details from closed-door hearings in the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case... In a 4-3 ruling, the Colorado Supreme Court upheld District Judge Terry Ruckriegle's order � though it acknowledged it amounts to prior restraint, which is barred by the Constitution.

[July 22 lead stories:] CLG's strategy in case of stolen elections: Part 2, The Revolution Will Be Webcast! --by Michael Rectenwald, CLG Founder and Chair "What are the TRIGGERS, what 'election' events will trigger the Grand Refusal? The following list is by no means exhaustive. The Bush regime may very well alter their approach to stealing the election this time. But, this is a list that will guide us... The Real Revolution was against the people and the Constitution and took place in 2000 and continues to this day." http://www.legitgov.org/mike_essay_rev_will_be_Webcast_072104.html
CLG's strategy in case of stolen elections: Part 1, The Ballot, The Bullet, and the Grand Refusal --by Michael Rectenwald, CLG Founder and Chair "...[A] postponed election, or the playing the fear factor for low voter turnout, are acts of terrorism in themselves. We are already being attacked. This warning is yet another in a series of attacks on our rights, on our democratic system, on our freedom, and on our self-determination." http://www.legitgov.org/mike_essay_ballot_bullet_refusal_071304.html

Panel to Hear of Halliburton Waste --In the spring of 2003, not long after John Mancini arrived in Kuwait City as procurement employee for Halliburton Co., he came to an unsettling conclusion: No one cared about his skill at buying goods and making sure government money was wisely spent. Over the next three months, Mancini said in a recent interview, he watched as colleagues at Halliburton subsidiary KBR paid inflated fees for cell phone services, bought hundred of rolls of duct tape for $60 each and obscured the waste by failing to file paperwork properly. In one case, he said, a fellow procurement employee recorded a multimillion-dollar purchase as a $200 order, then dismissed it as a mistake.
