Tim Spicer, Aegis and the rest of the Lady Dame Pauline Neville Jones Fan Club in the Green Zone with the greenbacks

Tom Griffin at the Green Ribbon has long kept an eye on Tim Spicer. 2 soldiers under his command in Ulster shot an unarmed teenage father of two in the back, killing him. The soldiers were tried, convicted of murder, and imprisoned for life. However, as part of a very murky deal at the time of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, the soldiers were released. Spicer successfully argued for their return to their unit.

Tom points us to a write up about this gun for hire , an ex British soldier (and officer) , gun runner, money launderer, liar, by an ex CIA liar, Robert Baer, in this month's Vanity Fair

To those who have followed the intermeshing careers of the Lady Dame Pauline Neville Jones Fan Club , the RUSC, Erinys, Executive Outcomes and all the other oozing shite that lives in the shadows of megolamaniac and murderous statesmen, like Blair, Bush (es) Cheney, Chalabi, this is an ane old song. It gets no better with the telling.

For those interested, Bill Roggio the Voice of the CIA over at The 4th Rail is now running a company Public Multimedia, Inc, ("a non-profit media company" Ho.Ho.Ho.) that arranges the "embedding" of reporters with US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Helping of course to provide an independent and balanced view of what is happening in Iraq.

A recent such example was by Chris Muir , author of the beautifully drawn but dire and unfunny Night and Day cartoon strip. His visit to Iraq adds nothing to our understanding and the photographs could have been taken in Flint. His site does have a good FREE Pammy Anderson video ... if your taste in breast runs to the the Chicken' Lickin' kind.
