		<description><![CDATA[The US doesn&#8217;t like free and open press in Iraq apparently, so they arrest Youtube uploaders, brand them as &#34;propaganda experts&#34; and blame Iran for the whole thing (Khaleej Times). US troops arrested two brothers on Wednesday on suspicion of posting videotapes on the Internet showing rebel attacks on coalition forces in Iraq, the military [...]]]></description>

End of the Rose Revolution as riot police are sent in to quell protests Saakashvili regime in Georgia [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NATO employees are frequenting prostitutes in Kabul, effectively building new enterprises of brothels and trafficking. The Sun is covering the patriotic angle of course, claiming that these visitors are by and large civilians. But that seems unlikely. It&#8217;s just the tip of the iceberg and men in uniform are as likely as civilians to frequent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here we go again. Charley Reese articulates perfectly why Tibet is such a non-issue that is being exaggerated to frightening and suspicious proportions. Coffee sippers who think it might be a good idea to free Tibet from China are about 58 years too late. China is not going to free Tibet, and Western encouragement of [...]]]></description>

The US military slapped a sweeping curfew Wednesday on troops and their relatives on Japan&#8217;s southern island of Okinawa after a series of incidents including an alleged rape that sparked tension. A US Marine was arrested last week on allegations that he [...]]]></description>

Larry Chin is the latest to argue, correctly in my mind, that the planning for war has already started and that this year will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unsurprising perhaps, the US airstrikes on Somalia last week missed their intended targets. Especially unsurprising considering the target was an organization that in reality doesn&#8217;t exist and is the brainchild of CIA pencil pushers. The herdsmen had gathered with their animals around large fires at night to ward off mosquitoes. But lit up by the [...]]]></description>
