Salon: This is What the World Press is Reporting


You don't see these stories are large corporate media here.

UKTimes - Conservative British - Lieutenant Matt Martin, whose third child, Isabella, was born while he was on board ship en route to the Gulf, appeared beside me.

"Did you see all that?" he asked, his eyes filled with tears. "Did you see that little baby girl? I carried her body and buried it as best I could but I had no time. It really gets to me to see children being killed like this, but we had no choice."

Martin's distress was in contrast to the bitter satisfaction of some of his fellow marines as they surveyed the scene. "The Iraqis are sick people and we are the chemotherapy," said Corporal Ryan Dupre. "I am starting to hate this country. Wait till I get hold of a friggin' Iraqi. No, I won't get hold of one. I'll just kill him."

UK Independent - Still doesn't have the full story that the second Baghdad makerplace strike was a US HARM missile and the Kuwait Mall strike was an off-course Tomahawk.

Arab News, Iraqis who hate Saddam are returning from Jordan to fight for their country as well as Arab volunteers.

Lebanon News - The London official position on the Middle East is trying to lean back to the EU.

There is more from a French paper explaining that the US regime is becoming theologic psychotics; Singapore: the tragic tearing down of international law, Jordan: how humanitarian aid is now militarized, and Japan pointing out that while Saddam is evil, it is the US and UK doing evil things.
