* "In East Timor, thousands of people have fled their homes in the capital of Dili amid rumors of of an impending battle between the military and police. Last week, four people were killed and dozens of homes damaged when a protest of dismissed soldiers turned violent." (link)
* yesterday i noted that brithume said that 'mcgovern claimed to be cia' in a way that suggested mcgovern was some kook. amygoodman interviewed mcgovern today - in her setup she says: "Some of the media said “alleged” former C.I.A. analyst."
JUAN GONZALEZ: And when Secretary Rumsfeld responds about the troops believing that there were chemical weapons, because they were wearing uniforms or chemical suits. Your response?RAY McGOVERN: Well, talk about that disingenuity. I mean, sure, they wore chemical [suits], because Rumsfeld and his generals ordered them to. This proves nothing, other than they went through with this charade. The Australian troops wore no such protective covering, because they knew there were no weapons there. The Australians knew these weapons were a figment of the propaganda put out by our Defense Department, so they blithely went in there without any protective covering. So it was all a charade.
Aussies are tough.
