Note to readers

It looks like the impending tidal wave of cash towards Google is already making a difference. For the first time since we started this blog, Blogger is archiving old posts correctly. For example, we can now link to this old post noting the disastrous precedent that existed for the US Army's "suppression" of a demonstration in Fallujah in April 2003. The rest is, regrettably, not history, but a very current quagmire. A side effect of the working archives is that previous links to our old posts won't work anymore. In addition, we have jumped aboard the gmail bandwagon so note P O'Neill's new e-mail address at the top.
