And so it begins


So...US troops break into a respected journalist's house in Iraq looking for insurgents - and take away all his video tapes he's using for a documentary on the "War against terror".

Ali Fadhil, who two months ago won the Foreign Press Association young journalist of the year award, was hooded and taken for questioning. He was released hours later.

The director of the film, Callum Macrae, said yesterday: "The timing and nature of this raid is extremely disturbing. It is only a few days since we first approached the US authorities and told them Ali was doing this investigation, and asked them then to grant him an interview about our findings.


The tapes have yet to be returned - and I can't say I'm surprised

I fear the real war against terror: The US industrial military complex against anyone who disagrees with anything "they" hold true and just!
