Guess what? The Iraq war is going swimmingly.

Two articles on Iraq that you must read, whatever your politics; free cup of coffee may await.

• Rolling Stone's The Great Iraq Swindle ("How Bush Allowed an Army of For-Profit Contractors to Invade the U.S. Treasury")


• Crooks and Liars' American Whistleblowers Tortured - Lives And Careers Ruined By Their Own Government, on the Forbes article Whistleblowers on Fraud Facing Penalties ("One after another, the men and women who have stepped forward to report corruption in the massive effort to rebuild Iraq have been vilified, fired and demoted.").

If you can read these and still continue to support this government and its war in Iraq, please let me know and I'll
a) report your name here (it should be made public)
and b) buy you a cup of coffee; it'll be more than worth the cost see just who you are.*

If you don't read anything else this month, read these 2 pieces.
