Posted here Tuesday, June 08, 2004 at 6:59:10 PM     Spent part of the afternoon with an American in Iraq reporter Meg Laughlin http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/04/04/1048962935244.html?oneclick=true whose picture of the war is devastating. just mess. Any idea that this is a high tech war misses the reality... at a field host[ptial, an american group of soldiers shoot down an unidentified navy plane, Airforce retaliates killing half the americans. She says about half of all fatalities are either accident or freindly fire. The nervousnous and preparation are at the immanent disaster level. And the hatred towards americans has grown very deep. Difficult afternoon.   ********
