Found someone reporting Fallujah on the BBC site... without using euphemisms like "precision strikes" or "clean the city" or "foreign terrorists" blah blah. It's slightly less buried than usual too.. only a click or two from the front page.

Interesting and depressing.

i gave up reading the news a long long time ago. What's the point, it's all commercial bollocks. Id rather read some blog from some geezer living in Fallujah. It's loads better.
