The Knight Report: Robert Knight

  • In France, the Republic Strikes Back on the 12th night of riots with a 12-day curfew which is a déjà vu of the 1961 curfew when Parisian gendarmes killed 200 peaceful Algerian demonstrators seeking the same civil rights as their descendants today;
  • Italian television is tonight confirming our earlier reports of US chemical warfare in Iraq, with testimony and images of white phosphorous clouds stripping bare the bones of Fallujah residents;
  • Yet another lawyer for Saddam Hussein's co-defendants has been assassinated prior to the US supervised kangaroo court;
  • Peru's former President Alberto Fujimori is under arrest in Chile, while unindicted US president George Bush flees the Latin American jurisdiction after international protest and a disastrous trade tour; and
  • Elections are underway in California and in NYC, where millionaire mayor Michael Bloomberg is spending $120 for each and every vote.
