Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "Unless it doesn't. Heard much lately from the Red Brigades or Shining Path?"

That's right, terrorism always does stop, in the end. Heard much lately from the Vietnamese Communists or the ANC?

General Sacked by Bush Says He Wanted Early Elections
by David Leigh

A retired officer who helped to set up the Kurdish safe haven after the last Gulf war, Lt Gen Garner was the de facto post-conflict governor of Iraq up until he was sacked and replaced by Paul Bremer

Jay Garner, the US general abruptly dismissed as Iraq's first occupation administrator after a month in the job, says he fell out with the Bush circle because he wanted free elections and rejected an imposed program of privatization.

In an interview to be broadcast on BBC Newsnight tonight, he says: "My preference was to put the Iraqis in charge as soon as we can, and do it with some form of elections ... I just thought it was necessary to rapidly get the Iraqis in charge of their destiny."
