Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

The UK Guardian reports July 8 that the UK Home Secretary's "Joint Terrorist Analysis Centre (Jtac) last month reduced the threat level from al-Qaida terrorism, from 'severe - general' to 'substantial'." The story insists British authorities were utterly clueless about the oncoming attack. "Jtac - which includes officials from MI5, MI6, GCHQ [Government Communications Headquarters] and the police - is now reassessing the threat. Both the police and MI5 have been increasingly alarmed by a steady trickle of young British Muslims travelling to Iraq to join insurgent operations. But the threat from them, they believe, would come later." (Online at TruthOut)
We can hear the conspiranoiacs asking already: So who tipped off Netanyahu? (Of course, the allegation that he was tipped off comes from an anonymous source, but we aren't allowed to doubt it—even though we are told we're dupes if we believe similarly vague media accounts that al-Qaeda was behind the blasts.)
Meanwhile, Israel's YNet News is reporting that at least one Israeli was apparently killed in the attacks.

Propaganda:
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
