That's Don Surber's pick.
My vote for loser of the year goes to al Qaeda.

US - Hillary Clinton's clanger on Pakistan
If a Republican candidate made this gaffe it would be all over the left wing media.
Add this to Clinton's fantasy trip to Bosnia.
"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was praised in the wake of the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto for demonstrating her command of the players and the issues at stake in Pakistan, even as another candidate, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, was criticized for stumbling over details.
But in two confident television appearances, on CNN and ABC, Clinton made an elementary error about Pakistani politics: She described President Pervez Musharraf as a "candidate" who would be "on the ballot."
In fact, Musharraf was reelected to the presidency in October. The upcoming elections are for parliament, and while Musharraf's party will be facing off against opposition parties, the president himself is not a candidate."
Add this to Clinton's fantasy trip to Bosnia.

US - Hillary Clinton busted for bogus Bosnia story
What's so sad is that the Democrats and the left don't care that she's a liar.

US - Record industry says copying CDs to computer illegal
I think Apple, which sells millions of IPods, will have something to say about this.
UK - BBC's Simpson gazes into 2008
and can't see past the end of his anti American nose. What a laughing stock this windbag has become and an embarrassment to Britain. Listen to Simpson's anti American rant. Speaking of his 2007 predictions, Simpson begins..
In addition to the almost 90% drop in violence, Simpleton, oops, Simpson fails to mention that al Qaeda has been dealt a humiliating defeat. No mention either that oil exports and electricity are above prewar levels or that the dinar is at record levels and the Iraqi economy is growing fast. Simpleton rants on.
Really? The BBC and Simpson are no strangers to fiction when it comes to reporting on Iraq. In fact, the BBC's own Iraq defense correspondent, Paul Adams, complained over the BBC's lies in its Iraq reporting. Most of the left wing media invented anti American stories over Iraq.
This investigation seems to refute, surprise surprise, Simpson.
In other words, sensing an American success in Iraq the left wing media moved on, not the American public. The BBC used to do a weekly update of the death toll in Iraq - until the surge began to succeed and the BBC promptly dropped the charts.
Just imagine how much support there would be for Iraq if the left wing media told the world the truth.
Simpson lets not only his hate for America show, but his love of dictators and tyrants as well. Simpson once called Iran a democracy and now has this to say:
As if elections in Iran are free and open. Simpson hopes you won't notice that one country after 35 years of a brutal dictator and thanks to Britain and America, can and has had free and open elections - Iraq.
I love Simpson's take on Zimbabwe.
Well John, that's interesting since the BBC itself made that same prediction - back in 2000. The BBC's headline for that report reads: "Zimbabwe: Economic melt-down" Do tell. Since the BBC's dire prediction in 2000, how are things in Zimbabwe now?
This sounds pretty much like a collapse to me.
If Simpson would take his head out of his ass for a minute and read what his own BBC are reporting on Zimbabwe's economy, he might learn something.
You shouldn't be surprised by all of this as the BBC has a track record of anti Americanism, far left propaganda and support of Islamists. As for Simpson's predictions, he makes the same far left wing predictions every year.
What a buffoon.
"Even so, I got a couple of things badly wrong."
I didn't expect that the US commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, for all his sharp intelligence, would make the so-called surge of American troops in Iraq look quite so successful.
True, it has only brought the level of killings and explosions down to that of two or three years ago, and it's likely to make the eventual civil war in Iraq fiercer than ever.
But it's a success, even so.
Suppose someone of Gen Petraeus's abilities had been in charge earlier?
Yet it scarcely matters now, except for Gen Petraeus's possible political future.
In addition to the almost 90% drop in violence, Simpleton, oops, Simpson fails to mention that al Qaeda has been dealt a humiliating defeat. No mention either that oil exports and electricity are above prewar levels or that the dinar is at record levels and the Iraqi economy is growing fast. Simpleton rants on.
"American public opinion has dismissed the Iraq war as a failure, and has moved on"
Really? The BBC and Simpson are no strangers to fiction when it comes to reporting on Iraq. In fact, the BBC's own Iraq defense correspondent, Paul Adams, complained over the BBC's lies in its Iraq reporting. Most of the left wing media invented anti American stories over Iraq.
This investigation seems to refute, surprise surprise, Simpson.
"As the year went on, the narrative from Iraq brightened in some ways. The drumbeat of reports about daily attacks declined in late summer and fall, and with that came a decline in the amount of coverage from Iraq overall.
This shift in coverage beginning in June, in turn, coincided with a rising sense among the American public that military efforts in Iraq were going "very" or "fairly well."
In other words, sensing an American success in Iraq the left wing media moved on, not the American public. The BBC used to do a weekly update of the death toll in Iraq - until the surge began to succeed and the BBC promptly dropped the charts.
Just imagine how much support there would be for Iraq if the left wing media told the world the truth.
Simpson lets not only his hate for America show, but his love of dictators and tyrants as well. Simpson once called Iran a democracy and now has this to say:
"We often forget that it is one of the few countries in the region which can genuinely change its government through the ballot box. "
As if elections in Iran are free and open. Simpson hopes you won't notice that one country after 35 years of a brutal dictator and thanks to Britain and America, can and has had free and open elections - Iraq.
I love Simpson's take on Zimbabwe.
"The US ambassador in Zimbabwe forecast economic meltdown there by the end of this year. It hasn't happened. "
Well John, that's interesting since the BBC itself made that same prediction - back in 2000. The BBC's headline for that report reads: "Zimbabwe: Economic melt-down" Do tell. Since the BBC's dire prediction in 2000, how are things in Zimbabwe now?
This sounds pretty much like a collapse to me.
If Simpson would take his head out of his ass for a minute and read what his own BBC are reporting on Zimbabwe's economy, he might learn something.
"Banks in Zimbabwe failed to open on Christmas Day, despite earlier pledges from the central bank governor.
Instead, long lines of Zimbabweans desperate for local currency queued at the few machines dispensing cash.
On top of rampant inflation, mass unemployment and shortages of fuel and basic goods the country is now suffering shortages of bank notes." ...
Zimbabwe has the highest level of inflation in the world at more than 8,000%."
You shouldn't be surprised by all of this as the BBC has a track record of anti Americanism, far left propaganda and support of Islamists. As for Simpson's predictions, he makes the same far left wing predictions every year.
What a buffoon.

Suicide bomber kills 50 in Pakistan mosque
One wonders how many Korans were burned in the blast.
Once again we have Muslims slaughtering Muslims and Muslims desecrating Korans. Where's the Islamic outrage over this? If a Christian kills a Muslim or is even accused of touching a Koran, billions of Muslims around the world go on a murderous rampage. Remember this next time you hear a Muslim complain about Koran desecration.

Iraq - Harry Reid does a u turn on Iraq
Back in April when he and the Democrats led the campaign to retreat in Iraq, Reid said the surge wasn't working and the war was lost.
With violence down by almost 90%, Reid won't admit the surge is working but admits it has helped.
What a putz. If anyone had listened to the Democrats, al Qaeda would have won a great victory, the violence in Iraq would still be killing thousands a month and freedom for millions of Iraqis would have been lost. Worse, just as the Democrats did in Vietnam, they would have caused genocide that would have killed millions.
"... that this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq,” Mr. Reid said."
With violence down by almost 90%, Reid won't admit the surge is working but admits it has helped.
"...the surge certainly hasn't hurt. It's helped. I recognize that."

Islam - The spirit of Eid Al-Adha
is death.
Around the world Muslims cry that they are the victims of Western "crusaders" bent on destryoing Muslims. The reality is Muslims kill far more Muslims than all the westerners combined.
It would seem some Islamic leaders have had enough and are now turning on al Qaeda at least.

Iraq - Good news round up
Electricity reached a pre war high.
Oil reaches a pre war high.
Violence lowest since 2004.
All of which makes Iraq the good news story of the year.
Which is why the anti war crowd are trying to join the winning side now.
It also helps explain why 22 Democrats just voted for funding the war.
There is a tremendous amount of work still to do but it appears Iraq is on the road to success.
Even the rabid left wing Guardian is forced to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
"Major General Joseph Fil, the outgoing US commander for Baghdad, said this week that the number of attacks in the capital had fallen almost 80% since November 2006, while murders in Baghdad province were down by 90% over the same time period, and vehicle-borne bombs had declined by 70%."

Why is it an issue? The Democrats seem to be attempting to portray Obama as a Muslim as if that were a bad thing. Why aren't CAIR and other Muslim groups up in arms over the Democrats attempts to demean Islam? Why isn't Keith Ellison, the only Muslim in Congress, not speaking out against this? Why isn't the left wing media, the defender of Islam, speaking out against this?

Iraqi oil exceeds pre-war output
My, my, my, the BBC forced to report good news out of Iraq. On top of this, oil is almost double what it was then.
The good news doesn't stop the BBC from deriding British troops though. Typical.

Afghanistan - BBC clueless about Musa Qala
We pay the BBC billions and this is the kind of crap they produce.
Compare the BBC report to this one.
Here's the reason for the vast difference.
BBC - "It has since become the main centre of drugs trading in Afghanistan, the BBC's David Loyn in Kabul says. "
ABC - "As the only journalist to join NATO forces entering the town..."
And that makes all the difference in the world.
BBC - Afghan army troops have captured the Taleban-held town of Musa Qala...
ABC - The town of about 45,000 people was secured at about 9:30 a.m. as Afghan troops, steered by British soldiers and U.S. Green Berets ...
BBC - The insurgents have pulled out of what was the only major Afghan centre in Taleban hands, reportedly melting away into the mountains. [Reported by whom? Certainly not the BBC]
ABC - I watched the Taliban being pounded these last few days with overwhelming force -- vapor trails circled in the clear blue sky over the Helmand desert as B1 and B52 bombers backed by A10 tank busters, F16s, Apache helicopters and Specter gunships were used to kill hundreds of Taliban fighters. [The Taleban may have melted alright, but it was from a bomb]
BBC - Twelve Taleban fighters and two children are reported to have been killed in the four days of fighting since Friday and a UK soldier died when an explosion hit his vehicle. [Again, "reported" by whom? The Taleban?]
A second Nato soldier died in the area on Sunday. [A Nato soldier just died in the area? From what or how?]
ABC - While hundreds of Taliban are believed to have been killed, two British soldiers and one American soldier lost their lives. All the deaths, however, resulted from vehicles striking mines left not, it is believed, by the Taliban but by Soviet forces in the 1980s.

Half of Scots see Muslims as 'cultural threat'
The other half need to wake up.
What's interesting about the article is what's left unsaid. The "prejudice" against Muslims is attributed to the war on terror, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the recent Muslim 7/7 and Glasgow terror attacks.
I give the Scots more credit than that and attribute it more to an awareness that Islam is an intolerant and radical religion. Since 9/11 the world has awoken to Islam's persecution of Christians, Jews, women and gays. Scots have taken a hard look at Islam and Islamic countries and said no thank you.

Canada - Hijab can divide families
It can also get you killed by your own father.
More left wing defense of Islam.
Except that the hijab is no such thing and is in fact a radical Muslim political statment which is banned in several Muslim countries.
Just how far is the left willing to go to support radical Islam?
Suggestion!?! The girl was murdered by her father.
Even that report leaves out the reason for her murder. See here for that.
More left wing defense of Islam.
"Ausma Khan, the editor-in-chief of Toronto-based Muslim Girl magazine, said research into the readership of her publication shows that the decision to wear the hijab – the traditional Muslim headscarf – is almost always a choice the girl makes on her own."
Except that the hijab is no such thing and is in fact a radical Muslim political statment which is banned in several Muslim countries.
Just how far is the left willing to go to support radical Islam?
"The suggestion of violent disputes between a 16-year-old girl in Mississauga and her father over her desire to show her hair and live a "normal" lifestyle raises questions about tensions between parents and children in the Muslim community."

The AP reports.
This line should hit you like a brick.
Got that? The AP thinks that progress in Iraq, i.e. success for America, means problems for the Democrats. Turned around, defeat for America is good for the Democrats. It doesn't get any plainer than that.

Jeremy Clarkson gets mugged by reality.
I was rolling on the floor laughing. Read the whole thing but here's a snippet.
I was rolling on the floor laughing. Read the whole thing but here's a snippet.
"It’s this. Plainly this boy’s parents are useless, allowing him to be out and about on the streets, harassing passers-by at will. Think about it. Every single time one of these children is found stabbed or shot, his mum and stepdad always tell the papers he was a “good lad”. And that he “didn’t deserve to die”.
And nobody ever says: “Well, if he was such a frigging angel, what was he doing on a derelict building site at four in the morning, you halfwits?” He didn’t deserve to die, for sure, but you do, for having the parenting skills of a Welsh dresser. "

UK - Group targets grooming of girls
This is a very serious and growing problem, so much so that the government is providing schools with a video to warn of the dangers. I'm guessing that the video, like this BBC report, will fail to mention who it is that is doing the targeting and who is being targeted.
Even when someone tried to alert the public to the culprits so they could defend themselves, the report was banned.
Even when someone tried to alert the public to the culprits so they could defend themselves, the report was banned.
"A Channel 4 documentary that claims Asian men in Bradford have been "grooming" young white girls for sex was withdrawn hours before it was due to be broadcast last night after the police warned it could spark racial violence.
Channel 4 said it was acting as a "responsible broadcaster" by postponing the screening of Edge of the City after West Yorkshire police said it would inflame an already combustible racial situation in the city.
The documentary, which examines the work of Bradford social services, includes claims that "charismatic, wealthier" Asian men are targeting white girls as young as 11 for sex and drug abuse."
UK - BBC 'took 21/7 Muslim terrorist trainers paintballing'
and failed to notify police of their terror connections.
She felt "no obligation to contact police" even though she and the BBC knew what motivated them to go paintballing. Of the 7/7 Muslim terrorists, the BBC had this to say.
What would motivate Suleaman to cover up for these British born Muslim terrorists of Pakistani descent? Possibly because she, like them, is a British born Muslim of Pakistani descent. Now you know why she "felt no obligation" to inform Police of their terror connections. Working for the BBC helps explain that as well.
How ironic that Suleaman wrote this BBC report.
This isn't the only instance of Suleaman supporting jihadists. In this BBC report Suleaman defends the wearing of the veil.
Remember now, Suleaman is not merely a Muslim, she is a researcher as well. Me? I'm merely a blogger and even I know that Islamic scholars agree the veil is not obligatory under Islam. In fact, it's not in the Koran and is in fact banned in several Muslim countries as a radical political statement. The BBC itself reported that British Muslim scholars agree there is no obligation under Islam to wear the veil.
As for the BBC, it has a long history of supporting jihadists.
"Nasreen Suleaman, a researcher on the programme, told the court that Mr Hamid, 50, contacted her after the July 2005 attack and told her of his association with the bombers. But she said that she felt no obligation to contact the police with this information. Ms Suleaman said that she informed senior BBC managers but was not told to contact the police."
She felt "no obligation to contact police" even though she and the BBC knew what motivated them to go paintballing. Of the 7/7 Muslim terrorists, the BBC had this to say.
"The men used to spend time paintballing, trips that would take place immediately after watching extremely violent videos depicting Muslim suffering around the world."

"The police are considering proposals to share intelligence and information with Muslims before launching anti-terror operations. "
This isn't the only instance of Suleaman supporting jihadists. In this BBC report Suleaman defends the wearing of the veil.
"There are roughly two schools of thought, one which says that it is obligatory and another that believes it is highly recommended but ultimately a matter of personal choice. "

Iran - Clinton says take no action on terrorists group
After voting to declare an Iranian group a terrorist organization, Clinton says no action should be taken against them.
Obama isn't much better.

UK - Muhammad Bear - Muslim protest rings hollow
Ever notice how Muslims rise up only when it's Islam that is under the spotlight?
While I am glad SAIRA KHAN feels compelled to protest the barbaric treatment of Ms. Gibbons and the rape victim who is to be lashed, yes victim, in Saudi Arabia, one wonders why Ms. Khan isn't calling for protests against the persecution of Christians, Jews, women or gays in Muslim lands.
Where was Ms. Khan when the Christian convert was hounded out of Afghanistan? Where was she when the teenage gays were hung in Iran? Why does she not speak out against the Saudi school textbooks that preach hate against Jews and Christians? Why does she not demonstrate against the persecution of Christians in Muslim lands like Egypt or Saudi Arabia where Bibles are banned? Why has she not protested against the Muslim preachers of hate that openly preach hate in British mosques? Why has she not protested against the barbaric rape laws of many other Islamic countries, where a woman needs 4 male witnesses to allege rape? Why hasn't she protested against Muslim preachers who teach that it is ok to beat your wife?
Ms. Khan notes her distain for the Muhammad cartoons, her belief that Muhammad should never be depicted but that the Muslim world's reaction to them was way overboard. She fails to mention that these same cartoons, minus the ones fabricated by a Muslim preacher to stir up hate against the west, were first published in an Egyptian newspaper without any problem. She also seems ignorant of the fact that for centuries Muhammad was depicted in art - by Muslims! This notion, along with the covering up of women, is a recent invention by Muslims. In fact, the veil is not a religious symbol and is banned in some Muslim countries.
All of that makes this statment by Ms. Khan ridiculus.
No, Ms. Khan, this is a perfect opportunity for you and others like to you to deflect attention away from the root causes of these problems around the world - Islam.

Iraq - Bill Clinton Flatly Asserts He Opposed War at Start
He was for it before he was against it. Typical lying Democrat.

Say what? If you didn't want him to go to war Bill you shouldn't have supported giving him authority to go to war. Duh.
Here's Clinton in 1998 on why he attacked Iraq. As you read this, remember how the Democrats, like his wife, keep saying they were misled into the war.
"Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.
Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons. "
More flip flopping here.
"A spokesman for Bill Clinton tried to downplay the former president's comments by distinguishing between the authority to go to war, which both Clintons supported, and President Bush's decision to use that authority when he did."
Say what? If you didn't want him to go to war Bill you shouldn't have supported giving him authority to go to war. Duh.

Sri Lanka: Truth, bias and the BBC
Truth and the BBC in the same sentence?
I love beeboid thinking.
Well gee, if you're the only game in town!
And talk about delusional.
Well Bernard Gabony when you openly brag about being left wing, anti American, pro Islamist, lie and fabricate reports, it's easy to be convinced.
Here's an alternate view of the BBC's Sri Lankan coverage, written over a year ago and mentions Mr. Gabony.
I love beeboid thinking.
"One is that people really care what the BBC says about Sri Lanka. It is the only international broadcaster with a permanent presence in Sri Lanka."
Well gee, if you're the only game in town!
And talk about delusional.
"The second is that, no matter how much we strive to maintain our guidelines of impartiality and accuracy, there will always be people on either side convinced we are biased against them."

Sudan teddy insult teacher: Readers' views
from the BBC.
Got to love the BBC headline. From that it sounds like the teddy was insulted. Bwahahah.
Read the comments. Don't you find it annoying that Muslims keep demanding that we respect their customs while at the same time demand that we change our customs to fit theirs?
If Muhammad is so revered why do Muslims name babies after him? Surely no mortal should be named after such a supposedly exalted person.
On the positive side, if there is one, this is just another example of how barbaric Islam is.

Iraq isn't Vietnam
But that doesn't stop the BBC from trying to make it so.
The "inevitably" of it inevitably comes from the left, as does the "sense" of false pretences. The BBC goes on:
Really? How clueless can the BBC get? Troops are being pulled out without replacements, more troops reductions have been announced and Iraq and the US just signed an agreement to negotiate more troop reductions in 2008. All of this comes on the heels of drastic reductions in civilan and military deaths and the defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq.
If you think that's bad, listen to Jonathan Marcus totally misreprensent Bush and the facts.
Got that? "one umnistakeable legacy" and from that this beeboid claims Bush "changed his tune" about comparing Iraq to Vietnam! He did no such thing! Bush said we learned a valuable lesson in withdrawing too soon. In essence Bush was saying don't cut and run in Iraq like the Democrats did in Vietnam.
Marcus is typical of the left wing idiots that inhabit the BBC.
"But, inevitably, comparisons are being made between the two conflicts.
In some ways the similarities are obvious.
There is the sense of a war entered into under false pretences. "

"And, just as in Vietnam, there is the fear that the very nature of the conflict has been misunderstood.
For a long time President George Bush refused to accept that there was any comparison between Iraq and Vietnam.
In April 2004, for example, he insisted that any analogy between the two conflicts was "false" and that making such comparisons sent the wrong message both to US troops and to enemies of the US.
But in August of this year Mr Bush changed his tune.
Speaking to a veterans' organisation in Kansas City he said one unmistakeable legacy of Vietnam was that "the price of America's withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens".
Their agony, he said, "would add to our vocabulary new terms like 'boat-people', 're-education camps' and 'killing fields'". "

Iraq: Beyond the Drop in Violence
A good look at the state of Iraq.
Read the whole thing but here's the conclusion.
Despite all the efforts of the left and the left wing media to support the terrorists in Iraq, they have been defeated.
Read the whole thing but here's the conclusion.
"IRAQ today is a hundred times better than what it would have been under Saddam in any imaginable circumstances. Statistics of violence don't begin to measure the efforts of a whole nation to re-emerge from the darkest night in its history. And in that sense, the news from Iraq since April 2003 has always been more good than bad.
What is new is that now more Americans appear willing to acknowledge this - good news in itself. As long as the United States remains resolute in its support for the new Iraq, there will be more good news than bad from what is at present the main battlefield in the War on Terror."
Despite all the efforts of the left and the left wing media to support the terrorists in Iraq, they have been defeated.
Iraq - Remember Fallujah?
Here's a reminder.
Now that Fallujah is a success, the BBC and the rest of the left wing media ignore it.

UK - Islam and a "Web of criticism"
That's how Josh Freedman Berthoud feels we are judging Muslims and Islamic countries. According to him we shouldn't use the Internet as a tool to learn and understand other cultures. What Josh leaves out of his argument is the fact that we don't just rely on the Internet to as he puts it:
Well Josh that might have some small measure of truth if we didn't have newspapers, television, radio, magazines and our own two eyes to go along with what others report on the Internet. I've heard some pretty lame excuses for denying the barbarism of Islam, but this is one of the lamest. Typical left wing drivel.
Be sure and read the comments.
"However, we must likewise be resistant to the urge to use the Internet as some kind of window onto a world of depravity, twitching our curtains, tutting, as we criticise our new neighbours."

US fire kills Iraq bus passengers
The BBC uses a tragedy to further its own anti war agenda - again.
While tremendous progress is being made, Iraq is still a dangerous place and people would be wise to heed directions, warnings and curfews. But just to make sure you get the idea that the Americans are trigger happy, the BBC goes on.
In both cases it appears the drives failed to stop after warning shots were fired. How many times have we seen suicide bombers force people to ignore warnings? And mini vans are favorite of the bombers since they can carry far more explosives. So, shouldn't the headline be "Iraqis die after ignoring warnings to stop"? But that isn't eye catching or anti American enough.
Near the end the BBC want to drive home the point.
Ah, the infamous "correspondents say". Would that be left wing BBC, al Reuters, or Guardian correspondents?
Here's an al Reuters report on the incidents but interestingly leads with why the police and military have to be on guard all the time.
On the one hand we have a suicide bomber hearding sheep that isn't challenged and he kills 9 people and on the other, civilians are killed because they failed to stop after warning shots are fired. What would you do?
"Up to four Iraqi civilians are reported to have died in Baghdad when US troops fired at a minibus taking them to work.
The US military in Iraq said its forces opened fire at the vehicle "after the driver failed to heed a warning shot".
A US military statement said the road the minibus was travelling on, in the Shaab area of north-east Baghdad, was only for use by passenger cars. "
While tremendous progress is being made, Iraq is still a dangerous place and people would be wise to heed directions, warnings and curfews. But just to make sure you get the idea that the Americans are trigger happy, the BBC goes on.
"The US military has also given details of an incident that happened on Monday when three Iraqi civilians, including a child, were killed by its troops manning a roadblock 200 kilometres (140 miles) north of Baghdad. It said their vehicle approached the roadblock in the city of Baiji at high speed and the driver ignored warnings to stop. "

But that isn't eye catching or anti American enough.
Near the end the BBC want to drive home the point.

Ah, the infamous "correspondents say". Would that be left wing BBC, al Reuters, or Guardian correspondents?
Here's an al Reuters report on the incidents but interestingly leads with why the police and military have to be on guard all the time.
"BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Nine people were killed when a suicide bomber posing as a shepherd attacked police north of Baghdad on Tuesday and at least six civilians died in a spate of shootings by U.S. soldiers, security officials said.
Police at the Diyala province headquarters in Baquba, 65 km (40 miles) north of Baghdad, said they were taken by surprise when the suicide bomber herded several sheep towards a checkpoint before detonating a belt packed with explosives."

Reuters - bin Laden is a militant
That's what al Reuters calls the world's most wanted terrorist.
and
"Soon, God willing, (we will post) a new message to the European people from the lion Imam who defeated the Americans and tyrants, Sheikh Osama bin Laden," said the pro-al Qaeda Web site which regularly posts messages from the militant leader."
and
"Bin Laden's last message was released on October 22. The Saudi-born militant then urged unity between Iraq's Sunni rebels."
US - Cautious hope for Mid-East talks
The BBC has this to say about the talks.
Just how far will "the big Arab powers", including Saudi Arabia, go to "do what is necessary"? Not far it would seem.
"The talks simply seek to assure both sides that the United States and the big Arab powers will do what is necessary to support a dialogue, and to get a firm commitment to the launch of that dialogue, he says. "

"Deloitte spot-checked six shows out of a possible 98 that use such lines. "

Iraq - Myth of the looted museum
continues in the Times.
This myth was debunked years ago.
Back in 2003 Donny George sang a different tune.
So, how much was lost?
"The ransacking of the museum in April 2003 in the aftermath of the US invasion provoked worldwide outrage. American soldiers were criticised for watching as looters, taking advantage of the Iraqi government’s collapse, plundered the building.
“It was as if a hurricane had hit,” said Donny George, the museum director at the time, describing his return to the museum after it had been plundered. “What the looters could not take, they smashed.”
Some 15,000 items vanished. In time, some priceless objects were recovered, including the 5,200-year-old sacred vase of Warka, the world’s oldest-known carved-stone ritual vessel, which was returned in the back of a car. "
This myth was debunked years ago.
Back in 2003 Donny George sang a different tune.
"Donny George, research director, said: "There was a mistake. Someone asked us what is the number of pieces in the whole collection. We said over 170,000, and they took that as the number lost.
"Reporters came in and saw empty shelves and reached the conclusion that all was gone. But before the war we evacuated all of the small pieces and emptied the show cases except for fragile or heavy material that was difficult to move." Some pieces were hidden in the vaults of the central bank and others at secret locations, he added."
So, how much was lost?
"A carefully prepared storage plan, used in the Iran-Iraq war and the first Gulf war, ensured that tens of thousands of pieces were saved, they said. They now believe that the number of items taken was in the low thousands, and possibly hundreds."

UK - BBC continues support for terrorism
Compare the BBC's report on PM Gordon Brown's statement in the Sun to the actual document. Notice what the BBC left out?
Brown lays the blame for terrorism, correctly, on Islamic extremists, calls for an end to multiculturalism and says we have to work with America to fight Islamic terrorism - all of which the BBC left out of their report. Revealing.
"We will work with America and all countries of the European Union to defeat terrorist extremism."
"We must also build better community relations and a stronger sense of our shared British values – what is sometimes called winning the battle of hearts and minds."
"We must isolate Islamic extremists who in our colleges and local communities seek to manipulate and divide our society."
"We will celebrate and build upon those things that unite Britain – the shared values, traditions and aspirations that promote a strong shared British culture and identity."

UK - Terrorism is a mystery to the BBC
Or so they'd have you believe. Here is the BBC's headline for a report on the first female Muslim terrorist convicted in the UK. "The enigma that is the 'Lyrical Terrorist' " See? She's a mystery to the BBC. What part is the mystery BBC? The fact that she's a terrorist? Female? Writes poems? Or the three in combination? Is what motivated her a mystery to you BBC? You might be left wondering as well from the BBC's report.
The BBC sets the tone with the first 4 paragraphs wherein we are told she is shy, dresses modestly, is loved by her mother, is given the freedom of the court and is polite. Nice set up eh? The BBC's got your sympathy for this terrorist already.
The BBC then go on to report how she merely downloaded some terrorist material from the web, wrote poems and chatted online about watching terrorist videos. The BBC note how she sobbed when found guilty and even allege some on the jury cried too: "two female members of the jury also appeared to be wiping away tears." For all we know they could have had a cold. On the other hand, given the state of Londonistan, perhaps we should be surprised they convicted her of anything at all.
You will note that the BBC fails to mention Islam at all, the source for her call to terrorism.
It's not just the BBC that is taken in, the judge called her a mystery as well and allowed her to leave by the rear exit.
Now after all that sympathy, here's a dose of reality.
Here's how the BBC describe her favorite videos: "in the section for her favourite TV shows, she entered "watching videos by Muslim brothers in Iraq, yep, the beheading ones." You see? It's all about Iraq, she was merely agitated by the war in Iraq, that's why she did such things. Nothing to do with Islam. Or is it? Here's the part the BBC left out.
Kaffirs would be you and me. You see, this isn't about Iraq, or Afganistan or any other foreign policy issues - this is about Islam versus the west.

Now after all that sympathy, here's a dose of reality.
"When they raided her home, they found folders on the computer called "Samina’z Stuff" and "Copy of Handbooks" as well as dozens of handwritten notes hidden in the pages of a book and a bracelet which carried the word jihad [holy war].
On a mirror were found the words "Lyrical Terrorist" and on one piece of paper she had written: "The desire within me increases every day to go for martyrdom, the need to go increases second by second."
In her poems she wrote about killing heathens, adding: "Kafirs your time will come soon, and no one will save you from your doom."
Police found a copy of Osama Bin Laden’s Declaration of War and a passage in which she praised the al-Qa’eda leader and added: "We will not let you have any peace. We will show no remorse, no mercy and no regrets"
In one poem, called "Raising Mujahideen [holy fighter] Children," she recommended indoctrinating children from the age of seven, adding: "Show the children videos and pictures of mujahideen and tell them to become strong like them."
Explain how the Mujahideen fear no man - they fear Allah alone, and for his sake they are able, willing and capable to do anything in defence of Islam." Malik joined an extremist organisation called Jihad Way set up to disseminate terrorist propaganda and support al-Qa’eda."
Here's how the BBC describe her favorite videos: "in the section for her favourite TV shows, she entered "watching videos by Muslim brothers in Iraq, yep, the beheading ones." You see? It's all about Iraq, she was merely agitated by the war in Iraq, that's why she did such things. Nothing to do with Islam. Or is it? Here's the part the BBC left out.
"Under favourite TV shows, it said: "Watching videos by my Muslim brothers in Iraq, yep the beheading ones, watching video messages by Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri [his deputy] and other videos which show massacres of the kaffirs."
Kaffirs would be you and me. You see, this isn't about Iraq, or Afganistan or any other foreign policy issues - this is about Islam versus the west.
