Unless you're living in a cave with UBL, you've no doubt read of the Beebs rediculous edict concerning Saddam...but are other news sources any less anti-war or anti-American? I think not.
Iraqi Insurgents Blow Up Oil Pipeline (AP) - Iraqi insurgents blew up an oil pipeline and fired on gasoline storage tanks, as U.S. troops searched for rebels and weapons Sunday in strongholds of captured dictator Saddam Hussein. American soldiers raided homes shortly after midnight in Fallujah, a flashpoint in the so-called Sunni Triangle where resistance to the U.S.-led occupation has been fiercest.

Insurgents.
According to any number of dictionaries the word is defined as:
in·sur·gent ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-sûrjnt) adj : in opposition to a civil authority or government [syn: seditious, subversive] n 1: a person who takes part in a rebellion in the hope of improving conditions [syn: insurrectionist, mutineer, rebel] 2: a member of an irregular armed force that fights a stronger force by sabotage and harassment [syn: guerrilla, guerilla, irregular]
These are not acts of people seeking to improve conditions in Iraqi, they are terrorists who seek to destroy a nascent Iraqi democracy and kill as many Americans/Westerners as possible...which makes this item in The Scotsman very troubling.
BBC to replace Saddam's broadcast propaganda machineTHE BBC has been awarded the first contract to help get Iraq’s television and radio stations back on air.
It will set up a media headquarters in Basra to train Iraq’s new generation of journalists.
Last week’s award by the UK’s Department of International Trade & Development is part of the plans by the CPA, the US-led administration in Iraq, to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqis, seen as a crucial part of the reconstruction effort.
WTF is the CPA thinking?
