Read Alexander Cockburn ( a highly respected journalist ) piece on the execution without trial of Osama Bin Laden

www.thefirstpost.co.uk/78835,news-commen...laden?DCMP=NLC-daily

Now it emerges that photographs were taken of him alive to idnetify him and then he was shot in the head.

Meanwhile Ghaddafi appears on TV to show he is alive after we bombed and killed his son and 3 grandchildren..another execution without trial.

What a ghastly savage race we have become posing as civilised human beings.

It will all end in tears.

We have always been a ghastly savage race - at least some of us have.

Everything about the Osama situation has been reversed by the Yanks - they tell you one thing and then an entirely different story appears. You cannot believe a word.

Is the latest version true ... or is it the next version ... or the one after that ?

Regarding Gaddafi - he has been condemned by every major organisation (including the UN) and is facing trial at the International Criminal Court. He is currently murdering innocent people in a desperate attempt to prop-up his crumbling regime.

Britain has invited the new government to open an office in the UK - an embassy in all but name - and the Yankers will follow-suit later this week.

Remind me, who was it, when France recognised the new government (as the official government) that said the rest of the world would follow quickly? Oh ... it was me, wasn't it !!!!!

Meanwhile, the US government has said it has invited representatives of Libya's opposition to the White House on Friday.

A delegation from Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC), including senior leader Mahmoud Gibril, will meet National Security Adviser Tom Donilon and members of the US Congress.

US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said the US military had spent about $750m (£460m) so far on operations in Libya, reports Reuters news agency.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday invited the TNC to set up an office in Britain.

After meeting TNC leaders in London, Mr Cameron praised the group and described them as "Britain's primary partner" in Libya.

yes but 60 years ago we tried people at Nuremberg for the same actions.

Hitler, there's another one. Probably a sweetie, but he got a lousy press. Thank god all of you brave and sharp-minded truth warriors are around to make all of these incredibly sophisticated comments from the comfort of your armchairs. Never allow yourselves to get bogged down in any of that nasty complexity, just keep up the knee-jerk contrariness. Pip pip!

a "well respected journalist" ?

which publication? Does it have a red top and uses only short words so its readers can understand?

btw - Does 80 dead and 120 injured (today !) balance things up a bit for you ?

I find it very odd that so many people, especially journalists, assume that because we don't celebrate the death of a human being, that we support them. Quite simply we don't; but we do not celebrate death.

this is a very interesting take on things:

Thanks for posting, David - an interesting piece.

"Across the [Middle East], an overwhelming majority of the population regards the United States as the main threat to their interests," Chomsky says. "The reason is very simple... Plainly, the U.S. and its allies are not going to want governments which are responsive to the will of the people. If that happens, not only will the U.S. not control the region, but it will be thrown out."

The tide very clearly is turning ..... !

Funny how the 'highly respected' bit isn't deemed relevant when said journalist doesn't agree with your lame-brained warblings.

"lame brained warblings"...nice turn of phrase. well done.
