The forgotten killers: Mercenaries in Iraq

More than a year ago I have watched a video showing mercenaries shooting at drivers in Iraq. Few of those drivers that were shot at might have been killed or injured on those unprovoked shootings. The fact the greatest terrorist nation in the world hired killers to do whatever they want as long as they provide security to the occupation leaders and Halliburton shows unprecedented arrogant.
"What is striking about the current debate in Washington - whether to "surge" troops to Iraq and increase the size of the U.S. Army - is that roughly 100,000 bodies are missing from the equation: The number of American forces in Iraq is not 140,000, but more like 240,000."

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
