The disaster continues today. It should be clear to all U.S. citizens, as it is to most of the world, that our presence in Iraq is hated. Of course our government and corporate media will continue to try to hide and spin events until the cows come home.

Ever downloaded a song from the internet or copied a tape or CD? Then you're a menace to society, according to draconian anti-piracy laws passed by the EU last month.The law was supposedly designed to target professional pirates, criminals and counterfeiters who make copies of goods such as perfume, designer clothes or CDs. During the debates, the directive was widened to cover *any* infringement of intellectual property. The directive allows companies to raid homes, seize property and ask courts to freeze bank accounts to protect trademarks or intellectual property they believe are being abused or stolen.
