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.

Prison Planet is among those examining the information now available on the four suspects and determining: "As we predicted, the so-called suicide bombers are ordinary people who would have nothing to gain and everything to lose from blowing themselves up. We have a frame-up in action." (Does anyone ever have anything "to gain" from suicide bombings? Other than a ticket to paradise?)
Actually the results are rather a mixed bag. According to Newsday's profile today (July 14), assembled from wire reports:
Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, spent "more time in the gym than the mosque" and his friends said "he never talked with them about religion."
Ejaz Fiaz, early 30s, "had recently dyed his hair blond and shaved the beard he'd proudly grown as a mark of a devout Muslim."
Hasib Mir Hussain, 19, had long hair and blue contact lenses, and was "a charmer who liked to flirt," but "turned very religious two years ago."
Shahzad Tanweer, 22, was "quiet" and "religious" and travelled to Pakistan this year to study Islam.
The accounts of un-Islamic behavior are drawing analogies to the 9-11 hijackers' partying on the eve of their attacks. From PP's "How the Government Stages the London Bombings in Ten Easy Steps":
6) 4th Arab goes out partying in London night before and ends up getting out of bed late. No worries, the 9/11 'hijackers' did the same thing but that didn't cause us a big problem.
No source or link is provided for the claim that the "4th Arab" partied on the eve of the attack. (And, as we've pointed out, none of the London suspects were Arabs.) And claims (e.g. on 9-11Research) about the 9-11 hijackers' supposed drinking binge may be overstated. Wikipedia tells us the incident at the Hollywood, FLA, sports bar was a week before the attacks (not the "night before") and that Mohammed Atta, at least, was just drinking juice.

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.

An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. 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.
