Bungles, Ghosts and Damage Control

05-01-2007 04:57

The Whitehouse is in damage control over the bungled execution of Saddam Hussein. The hurried execution backfired in the worst possible way; a vanquished leader should never be allowed to continue his work from the ‘grave’. Anthropologists are familiar with appeasement rituals and ceremonies for the dead, which are common to numerous cultures. In the wake of Saddam’s bungled execution these curious rituals begin to make sense.

Iraqi asylum seekers in the UK, claims in progress or have been refused asylum

03-01-2007 14:25

UNHCR is specifically advising refugee receiving countries to give due consideration to granting refugee status to Iraqi's from Central and Southern Iraq and that there should be no forced returns to Central and Southern Iraq further that there should be no forced returns to third countries.
