OnlineJournal: "At a time when the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is being investigated for its role in an espionage case involving Larry Franklin, a Pentagon and Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) official indicted for passing top secret classified information to two AIPAC officials and possibly the government of Israel, a senator who is bought and paid for by AIPAC - Republican Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota - has decided to change the subject and point to newly elected Respect Party Member of Parliament George Galloway as receiving oil funds from Saddam Hussein.
The charges against Galloway and other politicians around the world were originally based on documents secured from the rubble of the Iraqi Foreign Ministry and proffered by the corrupt Ahmad Chalabi - the man who pressured the Bush administration to use discredited 'intelligence' about Saddam's mobile chemical and biological weapons laboratories from an alcoholic, congenital liar and mentally unbalanced cousin of one of his associates, an individual code-named 'Curveball'.
Coleman, with pro-AIPAC Democratic Senator Joseph Lieberman, is using the Senate Permanent Sub-committee on Investigations to rehash charges that foreign and even U.S. officials financially benefited from the United Nations' Oil for Food program. These charges, which later were proven false, first surfaced in the neoconservative controlled London-based Daily Telegraph, owned by the Hollinger Corporation, a company that had financial ties to arch-neoconservative Richard Perle. The charges by both the Daily Telegraph and now Coleman's committee are based on documents as bogus as the Niger yellowcake documents and those proffered by Curveball and Chalabi about Iraq's fantasized weapons of mass destruction. Galloway successfully sued the Telegraph for libel over its baseless Oil for Food allegations against him."

Guardian: "Six Marines were reportedly killed and 15 were wounded from one central Ohio squad involved in a U.S. offensive near Iraq's border with Syria."
People's Daily: "Despite the US denial, the villagers said two US helicopters were shot down in the area.
'We saw the two helicopters shot down in Fahaida Valley close to Karabla,' Hazzae Abdulla and Muniem Khamis, two residents from Karabla told Xinhua.
They also confirmed that US jet fighters and helicopters continued pounding the residential areas in Karabla and dozens of innocent people were buried under their destroyed houses."
BigNews: "Since last Saturday at least 15 troops have died in combat in Iraq, mostly from explosions. Another two died in action in Afghanistan."
IslamOnline: "Hundreds of Iraqi families have fled the western Iraqi town of Al-Qaim to escape the ongoing US attacks there, with the Red Crescent warning that the US offensive has turned the city into a 'big disaster', as local inhabitants complained about the stench of dead bodies laid on the streets or beneath the rubble of houses as a result of the fierce US offensive."
ISN: "Riots and protests that have spread from Jalalabad to the Afghan capital in the wake of a report that US interrogators had desecrated the Koran have taken a political turn, with students demanding the government reject US intentions to create a permanent military presence there."
Dawn: "According to a western diplomatic source in Baghdad, 135 car bombs exploded in Iraq in April, up from 69 in March. And if May continues as it has started, it could be the worst month yet."
And the Purple Hearts keep coming... 7500 American servicemen and women were wounded in action and 18,000 others were injured in combat support...
Add to that the torture of prisoners that was condoned by Rumsfeld and you have a picture of utter depravity and cruelty.
