22-04-2009 14:49

In fact, what is taking place is a war crime that has already cost the lives of hundreds of civilians over the past two days alone.

Notts Indymedia is clearly the first port of call for news and comment on the ongoing situation, however it may also be helpful to keep the subject in the public eye through other media.

Other journalists should have the integrity to acknowledge Notts Indymedia as their source, so that their readers could check here for an independent view of the subject.
