Dispatch from Down Under

At the risk of pissing people off I would just like to take this moment to say that Rossi is a PERFECT example of why it is I am SO frustrated.
When Austrailian Citizens know MORE about what is happening in America than Americans do, something is so terribly off, it HAS to have been by design.
Thank you Rossi, for EVERYTHING darlin. At times like these I am truely humbled and in awe that ANYONE outside the U.S.A. could still not only believe in us, but would take the time to help as well.
It is that kind of spirit that turns our friends into our heros.
WE The People will never forget that our nations are born of the same Mother, England, and raised by the same Father, Revolution.
Together we have changed the world forever.
Now we must change mankind itself.
No sweat.

CIA ordered to hand over Iraq prison files
February 3, 2005 - 1:22PM
A US judge today ordered the CIA to comply with the Freedom of Information Act and turn over records concerning the treatment of prisoners in Iraq to watchdog groups.
"Congress has set the laws, and it is the duty of executive agencies to comply with them," US District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein wrote.
It was the second time in six months that the judge suggested the government was impeding the American Civil Liberties Union's quest to monitor government actions in the war on terrorism.

US soldier tells of horror inside Abu Ghraib
February 3, 2005 - 1:25PM
Conditions at the Abu Ghraib prison were so "deplorable" that rats and wild dogs were a common sight and edible food and water were scarce, a witness testified in the penalty phase for a soldier who has pleaded guilty to abusing detainees.
Army Major David Dinenna, a leader of Sergeant Javal Davis's military police battalion, testified today at Fort Hood in Texas that Abu Ghraib was a bleak and volatile place for the thousands of detainees and their vastly outnumbered guards.

February 3, 2005 - 1:54PM
A US soldier credited with saving dozens of lives by beating back an Iraqi attack before he was killed will receive the first US Medal of Honour awarded since 1993, according to the officer who nominated him.
It is the US equivalent of the Victoria Cross.
