It seems that the Empire News
Headquarters has not released news about the
Iraq and Afghanistan war operations and
attacks on Thursday. Corporate media are dead silent (AP, Reuters, CNN,
Fox, BBC, etc.), probably because of Rice's visit to Baghdad. CNN
published one line news about an attack in Baghdad killing five people.
For yesterday's news about the Iraq war, see below.
