According to Free Speech Radio News, US troops are bringing some democracy to Iraq. I suppose killing civilians who are using their new-found freedom of speech counts for liberating them… from life.

Witnesses are reporting that at least 10 people were shot dead and many were wounded in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul when US troops had opened fire on a crowd after it turned against an American-installed local governor. According to eye-witnesses, US marines fired when the crowd noisily interrupted the governor’s speech, which they thought was pro-US. AFP meanwhile is reporting that the US has been banning the media from anti-US protests in Iraq, saying that US forces yesterday tried to stop the media from covering a third day of anti-American protests by Iraqis outside Hotel Palestine. And US troops have been given a deck of playing cards containing the pictures of Saddam Hussein and his government ministers in which Saddam appears as the ace of spades and Qusay, his younger son is the ace of clubs. Every card carries a death sentence, since frontline troops have been ordered to use them to identify suspects who must be killed or captured. Meanwhile a two-day Athens summit of European Union, which will oversee the expansion of the EU to 25 states, is also expected to issue a joint statement on Iraq, despite deep splits between the “coalition” countries – Britain, Spain and Italy – and the remainder of Europe. Investigative journalist Greg Palast says the EU expansion is Henry Kissinger’s plan fulfilled.
