In Search of a Lost Cruise Missile
A Tomahawk cruise missile is not easy to lose. The very reason the U.S. military is willing to spend $750,000 a piece on the precision-guided munitions is precisely that they go exactly where they?re told. But in the past week, three U.S. Tomahawks have gone missing in the rocky plains of southeastern Turkey en route to Iraq, several hundred miles from the war zone. Five more went astray in Saudi Arabia, and a handful of others have broken up in Iran and, reportedly, Syria.

Das neue Gesetz stellt digitale Kultur unter Generalverdacht
Am 1. April 2003 tritt in Deutschland die Neufassung des Jugendschutzgesetzes in Kraft. Nicht nur böse Zungen behaupten, es hätte dafür kein sinnfälligeres Datum geben können
Die - um es sehr zynisch zu formulieren - "Schützenhilfe" des Massakers von Erfurt hatte der Novelle den Weg durch die Beschlussgremien gebahnt. Und gerade, was das Medium Video- und Computerspiele angeht, war dabei offenbar der verständliche, dringende Wunsch des Gesetzgebers, IRGENDETWAS zu tun, größer als der Bedacht, auch etwas SINNVOLLES zu tun.

African April Fools spoof Iraq war
Africa's newspapers are a fruitful source of 1 April light relief, even with the news agenda dominated by the Middle East. Indeed, many of today's April Fools stories reflect current concerns by playing on an Iraqi link.

MY BIRTHDAY IN BAGHDAD
I don't often get drunk, but there I was, on my balcony at the Palestine Hotel at 2am, plastic cup of champagne brandy and coke in one hand and my birthday card in the other, writes Sky News television engineer Josh Mainka in Baghdad.
Gathered around me a few hardened journalists, inside the Red Hot Chilli Peppers blasting from a Fostex speaker, the audio workhorse of the travelling television crew.
