THE NUCLEAR LOVE AFFAIR
August marks another anniversary of the atomic bombing of Japan,
the ultimate act of terrorism in which 231,920 people have now died, the
latest, the children of 1945, from a plague of cancers. I first visited
Hiroshima 22 years after the atomic bombing. Although the city had been
completely rebuilt with glass boxes and ring roads, its suffering was not
difficult to find. Beside the river, less than a mile from where the bomb
burst, stilts of shacks rose from the silt, and languid human silhouettes
searched pyramids of rubbish, providing a glimpse of a Japan few can now
imagine.

THE WAR ON TRUTH
In his latest column for the New Statesman, John Pilger reports from the United States on the suppression of the genesis and human cost of the 'war on terror' and the invasion of Iraq. As more American GIs are killed every day, the propaganda apparatus struggles to relay a positive message - while the next adventure is planned. "Studies now put the death toll at as many as 10,000 civilians and 20,000 Iraqi troops. If this does not constitute a "bloodbath", what was the massacre of 3,000 people at the twin towers?"

BRITAIN'S DEADLIEST
SECRETS

How to justify the murder of a 10 year old boy
"Before - like many young soldiers - he [the soldier] says he was anxious to get his first 'kill' in a war. Now, he seems more mature."
On 8 April, newspapers around the world carried a dispatch from a Reuters
correspondent, "embedded" with the US army, about the murder of a ten-year-old
Iraqi boy. An American private had "unloaded machine-gun fire and the boy . . .
fell dead on a garbage-strewn stretch of wasteland". The tone of the report was
highly sympathetic to the soldier, "a softly spoken 21-year-old" who, "although
he has no regrets about opening fire, it is clear he would rather it was not a
child he killed".

SOMETHING
DEEPLY CORRUPT IS CONSUMING JOURNALISM
Something deeply corrupt is consuming journalism. A war so one-sided it was
hardly a war was reported like a Formula One race, as the teams sped to the
chequered flag in Baghdad.

The unthinkable is becoming normal. The saving of one little boy must not be a cover for the crime of this war and we should not forget its true horror.
Last Sunday, seated in the audience at the Bafta television awards ceremony, I was struck by the silence. Here were many of the most influential members of the liberal elite, the writers, producers, dramatists, journalists and managers of our main source of information, television; and not one broke the silence. It was as though we were disconnected from the world outside: a world of rampant, rapacious power and great crimes committed in our name by our government and its foreign master. Iraq is the "test case", says the Bush regime, which every day sails closer to Mussolini's definition of fascism: the merger of a militarist state with corporate power. Iraq is a test case for western liberals, too. As the suffering mounts in that stricken country, with Red Cross doctors describing "incredible'' levels of civilian casualties, the choice of the next conquest, Syria or Iran, is "debated'' on the BBC, as if it were a World Cup venue.

We now glimpse the forbidden truths of the invasion of Iraq. A man cuddles the body of his infant daughter; her blood drenches them. A woman in black pursues a tank, her arms outstretched; all seven in her family are dead.
We now glimpse the forbidden truths of the invasion of Iraq. A man cuddles the body of his infant daughter; her blood drenches them. A woman in black pursues a tank, her arms outstretched; all seven in her family are dead. An American Marine murders a woman because she happens to be standing next to a man in a uniform. "I'm sorry,'' he says, "but the chick got in the way.''

WE HAD a great day," said Sgt Eric Schrumpf of the US Marines last Saturday. "We killed a lot of people." One was a woman bystander. "I'm sorry," said Sgt Schrumpf, "but the chick was in the way".

TODAY is a day of shame for the British military as it declares the Iraqi city of Basra, with a stricken population of 600,000, a "military target".
You will not read or hear those words in the establishment media that claims to speak for Britain.

WHEN Bush and Blair begin their illegal and immoral attack on a country that offers us no threat, we all have a choice.
We can wring our hands and say there is nothing we can do in the face of such powerful piracy - or we can reclaim the democracy that has been so corrupted by an elected dictatorship (in Bush's case, unelected).

THE Blair Government has known, almost from the day it came to office in 1997, that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were almost certainly destroyed following the Gulf War.
Of all the pro-war propaganda of Blair and Bush, and their current threats giving Saddam Hussein yet another deadline to disarm, what may be their biggest lie is exposed by this revelation.

It is not possible to overstate the significance and urgency of the march and demonstration against an unprovoked British and American attack on Iraq, a nation with whom we have no quarrel and who offer us no threat.
