Warszawa's last post

As the protagonist Warszawa predicted, his last post on MLMB was deleted. I'm not in the business of recrimination, nor do I concur with all W's opinions, but if he does indeed choose to join Sau and me in the Doldrums, I hope he will drop in with his url.

Please post this report to any mainstream media sources you can reach. Look at what Naomi Klein Klein is *actually reporting*, from the only available witness, who barely survived. The criminality of the Bush Gang is now very far beyond a joke.
- Calipari and Sgrena were shot from behind, by US soldiers, on a special road in the Green Zone, heavily-guarded and available only to US-approved travellers.

- The Italians claim, very credibly, that they were not speeding and had given advance notice.The Americans say otherwise.

- An Italian officer was waiting at the airpost, with a US liason officer. No-one has denied this.

- Yesterday, a planned inspection of the vehicle by Italian police was called off at he last momment - because of "security concerns". Ambassador John Negroponte had passed down that road no more than 90 minutes previously. And today, the Italian Minister of Justice has demanded access to the car, three full weeks after the shooting (this was reported by Corriere della Sera and der Spiegel, but so far by no English-language media I know of).

- Mark Manning, one of the few other US journalists to report from Fallujah, received a death threat within 10 hours of arriveing back in the States (see below).

But *much* more important than any of this, it seems, is getting me, personally, to piss off and shut up.

So Happy Easter to all MediaLens posters. And now I'd like to sing a song. Some of you may know it. It's called "My Way"...

...All right, ossifer, all right, I'm going... it's an unfair cop...
