Question: What is this man doing? (Scroll down for the answer)

Answer: He’s a mortuary attendant in Baqouba, and he’s unoading a box containing eight human heads.

Death Squads, children taken hostage by US troops to force their father to surrender, pregnant women shot as they are rushed into hospital, American mercenaries caught with bomb making making equipment set loose scot free to do it again, British soldiers ditto, daily slaughter of civilians by bombs, hospitals without supplies, teachers, doctors, nurses, fleeing the country, a growing litany of massacres committed by occupation troops. And an administration doing its utmost to ensure that the word “America” becomes a synonym for amoral, corrupt, racist, self-indulgent, lieing, bankrupt, dieing…. empire, too engaged in navel gazing to realise that this is more than just “a big public relations problem

    You probably caught me in mid-edit and re-publish Richard.

    Mark:

    I’ve linked to you.

    If you hotlink to images (w/o hosting them yourself), then it’s the pic’s server that determines whether the pic is visible or not.

    Hi Gert,

    Thanks for that anent blogrolling.

    I don’t in fact hotlink for here I use blogger. I do hotlink again to blogger for markfromireland (and host on my own server for my code experiments site). Blogger does of course go down but in this case looking at the time for Richard’s comment he “caught me” as I was switching the “src” attribute for the img element to a better quality image and republishing. Mind you as blogger is becoming increasingly unreliable I may have to just bite the on bandwidth costs bullet and switch everythnig over to an owned domain.

    Hopefully that’s some time away ‘though.
