The articles presented here do not necessarily represent the opinion of the publisher of this website. The Four Reasons attempts to provide a spectrum of opinions and interpretations regarding world events.
U.S. Soldier Killed, 1 Hurt in Rebel Raid West of Baghdad: An American soldier was killed this morning and another soldier was wounded when guerrillas used a roadside bomb and gunfire to attack a military convoy west of Baghdad, a United States military spokesman said.
House panel questions Iraq proof: The Bush administration scrambled yesterday to answer fresh attacks on the credibility of its case for toppling Saddam Hussein after House Intelligence Committee leaders called prewar information on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction "outdated and circumstantial," and the Justice Department opened a probe into CIA allegations that the White House illegally leaked the name of one of its agents.
US administration rejects Iraq charge: The Bush administration has rejected charges that there were serious failings in its intelligence-gathering before the war in Iraq. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been accused of using old information, in a letter from members of the House of Representative's intelligence committee.
Don't Mention The Oil. Or Ask About The Victims: "The right thing ... a magnificent job ... heroes ... pride". So off Tony went again yesterday on Breakfast With Frost, spinning and spinning about Iraq. I wonder what he'd think of the city morgue downtown from here when they bring the gunshot victims in every morning. Or down in the Basra area where the British rule and where, in the past few weeks, 38 corpses have been found, hands and feet tied, each neatly executed with a shot through the back of the neck. Baath party officials, we're told. Killed, quite possibly, by the Shia Badr Brigade. Yup, things are getting better and better in "New Iraq".
Missiles Strike At Heart Of US Occupation: The man with the missiles was driving a white Toyota and pulled up in the leafy Baghdad suburb of Salhaya at 6.35 yesterday morning. Those who saw him said he climbed very calmly out of the car and placed a large battery on the road. Then he took seven rockets from the back seat and laid them on the tarmac. Using the battery as a ramp, he fired the first missile at the Rashid Hotel, fortress home to many of the senior American officials of the occupation authorities.
Lies, Mischief And The Myth Of Western Intelligence Services, Robert Fisk: They were at it again last week, the liars of our Western "intelligence" community. John Bolton, the US under-secretary of state for arms control and one of Donald Rumsfeld's cabal of pro-Israeli neo-conservatives, was giving testimony before the decidedly pro-Israeli sponsors of the Syria Accountability Act.
US 'had no new evidence of WMD' in Iraq: The US launched its war with Iraq despite having no fresh intelligence evidence that the regime of Saddam Hussein was developing mass destruction weapons or forging ties with terrorists, the leaders of the House of Representatives intelligence committee have concluded.
The U.S. was sure Saddam had WMD, but Iraqi scientists tell TIME the weapons were destroyed long before the war: "They didn't realize at that time the Americans would insist on every single document," he says. "They thought the (U.S.) attacks would come and that would be it." When in the years after the war U.N. inspectors kept demanding a paper trail, the superiors got nervous. They "started asking us for the documents they had told us to destroy. They were desperate. They even offered to buy any documents we may have hidden."
Ex-PA security chief Dahlan: Armed struggle was mistake: On the three-year anniversary of the intifada, the outgoing Palestinian security chief said militants made a mistake in using arms against Israel and failed to understand that the world had hanged after September 11.
Blair: I'm proud of what we've done in Iraq (but, comrades, you can't vote on it): An unrepentant Tony Blair defied criticism of his hawkish stance on Iraq yesterday, declaring that he was "proud" to have ousted Saddam Hussein and that he had no regrets about the war.
Bush officials who leaked name of US spy 'for revenge' could face jail: The Justice Department is investigating whether Bush administration officials broke the law by revealing the identity of an undercover CIA operative whose husband disparaged claims by the White House that Iraq was seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
Edward Said: It is with heartbreaking sorrow that the Palestinian National Initiative announce the tragic death of Edward Said who passed away yesterday after eleven years fighting leukemia. At this time our thoughts and love are with his family. We wish them strength and courage and assurance that Edward will be a man forever remembered not only for his incredible achievements but for his remarkable qualities as a friend.
Al-Jazeera broadcasts tape attributed to al-Qaeda deputy: An audiotape attributed to al-Qaeda deputy Ayman al-Zawahri and broadcast on Al-Jazeera satellite television Sunday accused the United States of trying to abolish Islam. The tape appeared to be recent, as the speaker referred to a visit by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to India earlier this month and the Sept. 6 resignation of Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.
The Magnificent 27: A year and a half ago, a small group of Israelis decided to break a deeply entrenched taboo and bring up the subject of war crimes. Until then, it was self-evident that the IDF is "the most moral and humane army in the world", as the official mantra goes, and is therefore quite incapable of such things.

The loneliness of Noam Chomsky, A. Roy: Today, thanks to Noam Chomsky and his fellow media analysts, it is almost axiomatic for thousands, possibly millions, of us that public opinion in "free market" democracies is manufactured just like any other mass market product — soap, switches, or sliced bread. We know that while, legally and constitutionally, speech may be free, the space in which that freedom can be exercised has been snatched from us and auctioned to the highest bidders.

Report on N. Korea nukes: Bogus: Contrary to what an anonymous high-level Bush-Cheney official told the Associated Press, North Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Yong Il did not announce to the Russian, Japanese, U.S. and South Korean delegates at the Beijing conference this week that DPRK actually had a nuke stockpile and would test one of them in the near future.
