allAfrica.com: Eritrea: A Caged People in Urgent Need of Global Action - and Prayers (Page 1 of 1): "The people of Africa's youngest nation, 14-year-old Eritrea in the northeast, live as if locked up in a vast prison manned by a rogue communist regime. CISA is today able to reveal the sufferings of the tyrannized and poverty-stricken Eritreans, groaning under the weight of Africa's last single-party dictatorship. Prone to prolonged droughts, its economy destroyed by more than 30 years of war, Eritrea is one of the world's poorest countries, with up to 60 percent of its 4.6 million people surviving on less than a dollar a day."
Iraqi weapons 'expert' unmasked as a fraud - Independent Online Edition > Americas : "The Iraqi defector whose claims regarding Saddam Hussein's biological warfare capabilities were central to the US government's case for the 2003 invasion, despite repeated warnings that they were dubious, has been unmasked by a television documentary. The informer, codenamed Curveball was Rafid Ahmed Alwan who, in 1999, turned up at a refugee centre in Germany seeking political asylum. He went on to convince the Pentagon he was a brilliant chemist who had helped develop mobile biological warfare laboratories."
