It was buried in a recent bill, and most congressmen voted for this without ever knowing about the cancellation of the IG office. The Inspector General is the office that investigates and prosecutes all of the waste, fraud and abuse that has been going on with the failed rebuilding of Iraq. They've caught billions of wasted dollars and prosecuted at least a handful of people.

Who thinks that this will make the national news tomorrow? Or, is it more important that we hear about Tom Cruise's new UA Studio deal and Madonna's adopted child?

He killed "dissidents" in his country to prevent civil unrest, humane or not that was his country. Right now, the USA is in there and the death toll and destruction is greater than before. Does Bush get in trouble for invading a sovereign country. Wasn't Sudan in need of a humanitarian invasion more than Iraq?

of violence if Saddam Hussein is found guilty. Would/could any other sentence be tolerated other than a death sentence for Saddam Hussein?

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq canceled leave Friday for all military officers two days before an expected verdict — and possible death sentence — in the trial of Saddam Hussein. For the second time this week, a top Bush administration official huddled with the Iraqi prime minister.

Many of Saddam's fellow Sunni Arabs, along with some Shiites and Kurds, are predicting a firestorm of violence if the court sentences the ex-president to death, as is widely expected. Bloodshed is already high, with police finding the bodies of 87 torture victims throughout the capital between 6 a.m. Thursday and 6 p.m. Friday.

But most Shiites, including Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, are likely to be enraged if he escapes the gallows. Al-Maliki declared last month he expected "this criminal tyrant will be executed".

Quran has superb descriptions of Abraham, Moses, Jesus etc in unique living way. It has remvoed all man made fabrications! When you quote a book, the very first and logical question comes, how authentic is that? Is it in its original language as in translations a lot of changes can occur? Was it preserved from day one letter by letter, word by word? Is the original language of the book still alive and as fresh as on day 1 i.e centuries ago? If the naswer is no then you really can't quote from that book. Only andonly Quran passes this test!
Islam contributed superbly towards civilization and development of sciences. It brought Europe out of darkness and fair and honest Christians and Jews admit that. I see the follwoing points and seek your opinion
1)Muslims are to blame as they are not intracting
2) Missionaries are quoting out of context. Quote from wars applied to normal life
3) Global terroirsts know that only Muslims can resist their plans so they are using media to defame Islam

Environmental experts across Asia have urged dramatic action after a report warning all marine fish and seafood species faced collapse within 50 years.

This is very scary. Over 30 percent of 8,000 species are considered collapsed...due to overfishing, much of it within the last decade alone.

I read elsewhere that within 30 years most of the coral reefs would be dead too.

Does anyone care? What can we do? How do we get people to listen and care about stuff like this rather than blowing each other's brains out??

Screw the pursuit of oil and senseless wars...what will be left in this world if we're on the brink of destroying it???

Comments anyone???

to win an election , at the wakes and funerals of their dead children ? Just when you think John Kerry couldn't stoop any lower , along comes a new book with this . What doesn't surprise me , is the fact that Michael Moore personally accompanied Kerry in politicizing dead soldiers .

we claim to have freedom of speech, but how can that be if the government gets you fired for your speech, especially in a capitalist country?

then complain when they are shot? recently Hamas and Hizbollah hid behind women and children in residential areas during the recent conflict

Today, I heard on the news that the local radio was used to get all women and children to surround a mosque were men had hidden. Why? when they know that this wont stop israel's forces from firing? The news pictures clearly showed men hiding between the women and children. I just think thats major cowardice

Bye the way I have no connection with israel what so ever and not jewish. Just a bloke from Yorkshire who's watched the news
