So any news on how the Brits will react when they hear they got played?
Now that they have heard that Bush wanted war with Iraq all along do you think that they will punish Tony Blair? I can see things getting rather rowdy in the House, would they want to press charges against Bush for purposely supplying them with falty intelligence?

1. The Blair factor is odd, isn't it?
Was he lied to? Did he know about the plans before 9/11? I wonder if we'll ever know how Blair fit into all of this.

2. goodies coming right up
Being served at The Guardian soon. I can hardly wait to hear what some of their columnists, Monbiot, for example, will have to say.

And from other countries, too--how about Pilger?

This is gonna' be good!

4. NJCher, is there an online site where we can access these columns?
And what about thlat rumor that the Guardian would start a U.S. edition in 2004? Is it still going to happen?

6. when I need a Monbiot column
I run a search on it. They turn up in all kinds of places. An example is his column on how excess capital put into arms leads to more warfare. I had the column saved but not the URL. So I did a search and found it in several different places.

Re the American version, last I heard, which was about five weeks ago, it's still on.

3. Most already "know" they were played..
That's why millions took to the streets in February.. It's the people HERE who still are having trouble realizing that WE were played:(
