Featured this week: Not in our name! Troops out now!

Almost daily, the world's corporate media is being forced to report the
mounting numbers of dead Iraqi civilians, massacred by the US-led
military juggernaut. Thousands of ordinary Iraqi soldiers have also been
slaughtered as they fiercely defend their homeland. There is increasing
evidence that the US, British and Australian invaders now consider every
Iraqi to be an enemy. This shows that this war is not about the
"liberation" of Iraq, but its conquest. It should end immediately. Bring
the troops home now!
