Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Dozens Die In Another Bloody Weekend

HeadlineFeb 14, 2005

Meanwhile dozens more Iraqis have died in another bloody weekend. In Baghdad an Iraqi general and two colleagues was assassinated on Sunday. The general was a senior commander of the Iraqi National Guard. On Saturday a car bombing outside a hospital south of Baghdad killed 18 and wounded 25 more. On Friday a suicide car bombing near a Shiite mosque northeast of Baghdad killed 13. That same day a Shiite bakery in the capital was attacked leaving nine dead. In Basra, a top judge was assassinated as he headed to work on Saturday. And at least five US troops died over the weekend. Over 1450 US soldiers have now been killed in Iraq since the invasion 23 months ago.
