The British public would have to be seriously stupid to believe anything else, wouldn't they? The US has made it perfectly clear it will attack unless Saddam quits.

An interesting paper on Al Qaeda (dubbed OAS) in French: 216.239.39.100 What the US has undergone since Sept 11, 2001 merely replicates what France underwent during her ill-fated Algerian war (1954-1962). In short, you wanna get a clue to Al-Qaeda? Just grab any book, file, paper, report,... on OAS (ie Organisation Armée Secrète --Secret Military Organization) KEY excerpt: Si l'OAS était une opposition intérieure combattue par des forces secrètes, le FLN était un adversaire étranger impitoyablement réprimé par les forces officielles. La durée de la garde à vue est étendue à quinze jours, sans visite d'avocat ou de médecin. Une décision qui équivaut à autoriser et à généraliser la torture dans les commissariats de police. Le préfet de police de Paris, Maurice Papon, dirige une ratonnade faisant plusieurs centaines de morts le 17 octobre 1961. Soumise à la censure quand elle n'est pas à la botte du pouvoir, la presse n'en dit mot. Ring a bell? As you can see, AG Ashcroft and the US media are just rehashing an old French screenplay.... Here's an OAS monograph (in English): edition-grasset.fr Gus
