[NewsFilter] It looks like President Bush finally found those chemical weapons he was looking for in Iraq. The only problem is, we were using them. In a new documentary called "Falluja: The Hidden Massacre," Italian TV network RAI accuses US forces of using white phosphorous -- an incendiary chemical, banned as an anti-personnel weapon by the Geneva conventions, that can be employed like napalm -- against Iraqi civilians in its massive raid on Falluja. Is RAI right, or just blowing smoke?

Either that or I need to re-calibrate my time machine. I could have sworn I've seen this here already.

The good thing is that with so many call-outs, that means lots of people know about it. Not a bad thing, in a larger sense.

Maybe cos it was posted as an Italian site (although from an earlier posting from metafilter) or maybe ""if it isn't written in US English it hasn't happened!""
It was horrifying to realise that "in the home of the free" it did happen.

Napalming is alive and well and living in.... a State near U!

We could turn this into a "Chalabi Visits US" thread.

How do you feel about a treasonous lying criminal bastard being good friends with the White House?

I'm more worried about the treasonous, lying criminal bastards already in the White House.

Did we really need to bring Bob "Douchebag Of Liberty" Novak into this?
