War Without End (Part 2)

2008-10-22T21:30:52Z

On May 1 2003, President Bush gave a speech on the aircraft USS Abraham Lincoln declaring an "end to major combat operations" in Iraq. Yet five years later, violence continues unabated across Iraq. Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel Hamid — in a special five part series — looks at the major events of the Iraq war. Each week will focus on one of the last five years looking at the events and the policies that helped shape Iraq and the current chaos in the country.

Vitamins & Vodka

Hope you've stocked up on both because the fun is just about to start.

For a primer outline, you might want to stop by the Diane Rehm show this am where they will be discussing the Congressional Agenda. To put it mildly, it's going to be a busy and important quarter.

Damage Control: Blackwater on the PR Offensive

2008-09-27T02:58:32Z

In August 2003, the governing body set up by the U.S. -- the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) -- awarded Blackwater a $21 million contract to provide security for CPA head, Paul Bremer, and other CPA officials in Iraq. (According to the linked UPI report, Blackwater USA has received "$505 million in contracts since 2000, primarily with the State Department.")

On March 31, 2004 in Fallujah, four contractors were killed, and in the aftermath, the company hired the Alexander Strategy Group (ASG) to conduct damage control and improve its image. ASG is notorious for its involvement in the K-Street Project in Washington, D.C. Alexander Strategy spokesman Chris Bertinelli was quoted by the Capitol Hill newspaper, The Hill, saying, "They did not go out looking for the publicity and did not ask for everything that happened to them. We want to do everything we can to educate [the media and Congress] about what Blackwater does."
