Die wahre Jessica


Der Krieg war noch nicht ganz vorbei, da meinten Verschwörungstheoretiker bereits beweisen zu können, dass einer der spektakulärsten amerikanischen Erfolge nie stattgefunden hat: die Rettung der Obergefreiten Jessica Lynch aus der Hand der Iraker.

Die 19-jährige Jessica Lynch war am 23. März in irakische Kriegsgefangenschaft geraten, Spezialeinheiten befreiten sie neun Tage später schwer verletzt aus einem Krankenhaus. Merkwürdig war, dass jemand schon die passenden Internet-Seiten reserviert hatte: jessicalynch.net und jessicalynch.org, beide registriert am 17. März, sechs Tage vor der Gefangennahme.

In den Häusern der irakischen Führungselite, die unermüdlich gegen die US-Kultur gewettert hatten, finden sich erstaunliche Hinterlassenschaften: In einem Palast Saddams hängen Poster von Snoopy und Britney Spears, die Kinder spielten mit US-Spielzeug.

Revealed: Russia spied on Blair for Saddam


Top secret documents obtained by The Telegraph in Baghdad show that Russia provided Saddam Hussein's regime with wide-ranging assistance in the months leading up to the war, including intelligence on private conversations between Tony Blair and other Western leaders.

Moscow also provided Saddam with lists of assassins available for "hits" in the West and details of arms deals to neighbouring countries. The two countries also signed agreements to share intelligence, help each other to "obtain" visas for agents to go to other countries and to exchange information on the activities of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qa'eda leader.

Escher's "Relativity" in LEGO®

Once again, no camera tricks, but the picture has to be taken from exactly the right place, and boy did we get tired of trying to find where that place was.
