200 blank CDRs in the post, and they look amazingly cool. You remember how the earliest CDRs had a purplish colour on the side you record on? Then they were green, and the green got fainter and fainter as the price came down and the recordable layer got thinner and thinner. Well these are black on the burn side, and opaque white for writing on the other.

Now I've just got to burn 50 of them.

Tonight's SWP meeting was mainly organisational, but included a discussion of the latest Iraq warcrime.

The official US version of events keeps changing - first it was 1 soldier and 24 civillians killed by an insurgent bomb, then it was that insurgents started a firefight with US soldiers, and 24 bystanders were killed by stray bullets.

At present, the official version looks like this: A marine was shot dead. In a frenzy of rightous revenege, two divisions who didn't normally work together took five hours to break into a series of houses and execute 24 people - including a 77 year old man in a wheelchair filled with 9 rounds from a machine gun, and several children and babies.

The soldiers then left behind witnesses, and inexplicably transported the corpses to a hospital, dumping them on the lawn. Meanwhile, by complete coincidence and not conspiracy with senior officers, an air strike hit the killing scene, destroying most of the evidence.

As we used to say in more innocent times, "Confused? You will be."
