TPTB always try and restrict information from "The Front lines" from reaching friends and families of the military, and they always fail.

[Newsseeker]

Wonder what else they're going to restrict as time goes on? Hotmail? Yahoo? Who knows....

This is one of the reasons that I don't particularly like the restrictions her on posting complete articles. While granted in most cases it's probably appropriate, there are times when you just know certain things are not going to remain accessible at their original location, and it's important imo that such things not be allowed to simply "disappear".

Granted it's a tough call as to which is which...

Iraq Police Enforces Ban on Reporting at Bomb Scenes
In news from Iraq, Iraqi police are now enforcing a ban on photographers and tv camera operators from filming the aftermath of deadly bombings. On Tuesday, police fired warning shots in the air after journalists attempted to report on a bombing in Baghdad that killed seven people and wounded 17. Reporters Without Borders said the growing restrictions on the media could end in a total news blackout on what's happening in Iraq.

Not in all circles, Plantagenet... just in the ones that are made up of a majority that, say, rely on a government's propagandists to gain some perspective on a war that that government waged on another country, after the target had the audacity to stick to the international norm for extradition.

[Plantagenet]

All governments use propaganda at home and abroad to further their cause in times of war, Kabu.

Its unfortunate, but war isn't a tea party.

[Plantagenet]

What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.

--Robert E. Lee

Die for your country !
That is your right , and we don't want to hear from you on the internet. We hate critics.
Who the f are these "we" ?

That's horribly depressing. The people who are sacraficing their lives for this lie are being cut off from the ones back home. Where's the common empathy anymore? I hope this event makes the troops realize they are being played like pawns on the chess board.

Don't play the horn until the show starts.

Also as for the additive to zigs:

Although in the documents surveyed, ammonia emerges as the primary chemical tool used to enhance nicotine effects, other additives with similar functions are currently in use and more are being researched. Of particular note are Acetaldehyde, Levulinic Acid, Theobromine and Glycyrrhizin -- Although described by the tobacco industry as 'smoothers' and 'flavour enhancers', all appear to have some pharmacological effect in controlling nicotine absorption levels and/or delivery.

Acetaldehyde is produced by the burning of sugars (the most common tobacco additives42). Industry scientists suspected that acetaldehyde could enhance the addictive effects of nicotine. Senior Philip Morris scientist Victor J. DeNoble began research in the early eighties, into the behavioural effects of nicotine and acetaldehyde in rats. He discovered that the two drugs worked synergistically to enhance the addictive nature of nicotine. DeNoble's research papers for Philip Morris reveal the potential for acetaldehyde to act in this way:

"The results can be summarized as follows: 1 acetaldehyde does function as a positive reinforcer for rats. 2 acetaldehyde at equal doses (mg) to(-) nicotine is more effective at maintaining self-administration behaviour, 3 the endogenous opioid system is not involved in the maintenance of acetaldehyde self administration, and 4) combinations of nicotine and acetaldehyde produce supra-additive effects when self administered."43 (PM)



"Acetaldehyde alone maintained lever pressing at a greater rate than nicotine at equal mg/kg doses. This is consistent with other findings at this laboratory." (Philip Morris, 1983)44

press those levers...

I think if Dillon were alive today he'd turn over in his grave.

nah, you wouldn't do it anyway.
