U.S. airstrike in Iraq reportedly causes 60 casualties
Supplier to U.S. Army Under Scrutiny on Aging Arms for Afghans The American military has relied since early last year on a fledgling company led by a 22-year-old man whose vice president was a licensed masseur. With the award last January of a federal contract worth as much as nearly $300 million, the company, AEY Inc., which operates out of an unmarked office in Miami Beach, became the main supplier of munitions to Afghanistan’s army and police forces. Since then, the company has provided ammunition that is more than 40 years old and in decomposing packaging, according to an examination of the munitions by The New York Times and interviews with American and Afghan officials. In purchasing munitions, the contractor has also worked with middlemen and a shell company on a federal list of entities suspected of illegal arms trafficking.
Man charged as Iraqi agent over U.S Congress trip An Iraqi-American who helped organize a U.S. congressional trip to Baghdad in 2002 was charged on Wednesday with working for ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's government, which paid for the visit, the Justice Department said. The indictment against Muthanna al-Hanooti said Iraq's foreign intelligence service funneled $34,000 through the Islamic charity Life for Relief and Development to pay delegation expenses.

The Smoking Gun website reports that the records the paper used to uncover new details in the rapper's murder were largely fabricated. An internal investigation will be launched.

No wonder Iraqis will never trust the US again. First the US sucks them in to help with trips for Congress then they put them in jail on made up charges.
The US's most trusted News paper the LA Times or is it? Another Pulitzer Prize winner spins lies like Judy Miller. Now everyone knows who had Tupac killed and BIG too. The grapevine has given that information out so long ago it's real old news. But of course Americans listen to the trusted Media and newspapers. This was done by the Feds to stop the growing wealth of rappers. Look it was fine for Magic and Michael Jordan to get rich, but to allow these ghetto boys to get rich was out of the question and had to be stopped. What better way then to make up a fake war. Pin each one against each other kill the top person and blame each group. Look this is the same plan these idiots are doing with the Democrats right now. Fake stories go out on a regular bases as all are backed by the Feds. But then again some Americans still believe Iraq has WMD's and the fear words Al Qaeda /Iraq or Saddam/Osama and it works everytime with the help of the Media. I hope these guys sue the pants of the Feds/Newspapers but wait until we have an honest Attorney General. Because right now there is no Justice System in the United States.
