[ This message has been sent to you via the CASI-analysis mailing list ] I'm glad about the apostrophes. It worries me how much our media conforms with the language used by one side in this conflict. My bete noire is the BBC which very quickly started using the term and resolutely refuses any mention of resistance fighters. They do of course use terms like militants, rebels, terrorists etc The end result is to bestow more legitimacy on the occupying forces and their Iraqi interim 'regime' and simultaneously belittle and illegitimise those resisting the occupation On 14 Nov 2004 at 22:44, Daniel O'Huiginn wrote: > 2 things: > > Firstly, If for some reason any of you aren't on the CASI > announcements list, you may have missed the briefing on denial of > water in Iraq which I wrote with Ali last week.
