I really thought this was going to be about US families living in fear of calls by US patrols. A US story.

I should not be relieved, because:

1. It's not any more pleasing to imagine Iraqi families being dragged out of their homes at midnight

2. In the US, that's probably next month not this month.

You have an irrational hatred for the US don't you MA....I imagine the poor ole families in Iraq just may be criminals and Baath party killers of the troops you are so quick to bring home???

No hatred here.

I wouldn't want to be an Iraqi family being dragged out at midnight, whether I'm criminal or not.

I wouldn't want to be an American subjected to the same thing by the Bush administration instrumentalities, under Total Information Awarness, Homeland Security, or either Patriot Act, or any other piece of crud.

You are too blind to see.

Interesting only the UK version plays it in that light, not even other foriegn articles do...

The Brittish news services actually seem to be getting quite reliable. I always hear about disasters and big news almost as soon as it happens from the BBC news......and they're not afraid to do a bit of government bashing every now and then too

Ok.
I am too blind to see the lack of any evidence of families being drug out in the night by jack-booted thugs, my phone being tapped while I discuss dinner plans with my girlfriend..lol....yeesh..the world as you know it is suddenly coming to an end? Listen my friend, this and all you stated is coming true, but looooong before GWB and 9/11 came into play.

Just for a second take your hate of GWB out of the equation and look around...has the CIA/FBI/DEA/DARPA/NSA ever spied on or taken liberties with individual rights??? I dink doh!
OK. Before the repugnants..lol..took over the WH??

You better pluck the plank outta your eye first before calling me blind.
