* i dont believe that a 47 y.o. ordinary looking guy can get $200/hour. something there doesnt add up. market forces and all that. sure he claimed to be 32, and $200/hr was just the headline rate, but still... he hasnt denied it either - but whats he gonna say? 'nah - im cheaper than that' - and besides - ive got the website overheads to cover...

(these numbers are getting higher. truth wont out.)

* curious article... " There is a great ballyhoo in this country about the Australian presence in Iraq meaning that "we are at war", but Australia has consistently managed to avoid any of the heavy lifting in Iraq. While it continues to do so, there will always be a degree of scepticism about why it is there." http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Once-more-into-shadows-in-Howards-handsoff-war/2005/02/22/1109046922439.html

* "Howard was contacted by Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi last Friday, and again by British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Monday to ask for military assistance. The Bush administration was undoubtedly apprised of the move. The last government to be consulted, and then only to obtain its formal seal of approval, was Washington’s puppet regime in Baghdad.... Now it is the turn of Australian soldiers to take over mercenary duty, defending Japanese oil interests in southern Iraq. " http://wsws.org/articles/2005/feb2005/aust-f23.shtml
