I have the facts to back it up.

1) The Duelfer Report, clearly stating that there was no connection between the Baathist movement and al Qaeda, and just the dysfunctional remainings of a weapons program.
2) An interview with the Number Two of al Qaeda, al Zawahiri.
3) The history of the Baath Party as a secular, socialist and nationalist Arab movement.
4) The biography of the Number Two of Iraq, Tariq Aziz, who is no muslim at all, but a Chaldean Catholic. So whatever Iraq was, it was surely not ruled by islamistic jihadists.
5) All the alleged evidence brought before the war being debunked, from the Yellow Cake Story to the British dossier on Iraq's WMD program being just a rip of of Ibrahim al-Marashi's doctoral thesis.
6) The fact that Donald Rumsfeld even created his own intelligence unit because the CIA was still unable to uncover anything supporting, what the administration was believing to be true.
7) The fact that Colin Powell's address at the U.N. didn't convince neither Hans Blix, head of the U.N.'s inspectors of Iraq's WMD program nor the "old Europeans", with Germany's Minister for Foreign Affairs, J.Fischer, publicly stating his doubts.

"The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa"

Who is spouting unfounded propoganda, again?

You are:

Iraq continues to work on developing nuclear weapons, in breach of its obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and in breach of UNSCR 687. Uranium has been sought from Africa that has no civil nuclear application in Iraq;

From the article: 'The investigators did not have to notify No 10 if they were "hacking" into its system

Just in case everyone is wondering what "No. 10" refers to - No. 10 is 10 Downing Street, the British Equiv to the White House... http://www.number10.gov.uk/

No. 10 is not 3 higher than 007, or any single person, or secret agent, or anything else.

He's such a dumb bastard that he wouldn't be able to READ an email! Anyhow, the Home Office is "unfit for purpose" and probably wouldn't pass on the message anyway.

You need to try snailmail - a hardcopy letter will possibly get at least as far as his private secretary....

The Rt Hon. John Reid, Home Secretary.
The Home Office,

Any strain of anything could become poisonous with or without genetic engineering. That's why companies test their products before sending them to market.

As for RoundUp-Ready plants, think about what you're saying... what is RoundUp? It is an herbicide. Therefore, genetically modified RoundUp-Ready plants are modified to be resistant to the herbicides used in RoundUp. Thus, a farmer can spray the same amount of RoundUp as he might normally, but will only kill the unwanted plants. What is the effect of this? The plants that do live, ie the crops, have more nutrients and more root space available to them in the soil, and thus the GM crops can naturally grow larger, just as they would in a field without weeds. You don't have to modify them to grow faster than they can support. You just enable a farmer to select for only the crops he wants.

Also, if you will not provide others with hard statistics, don't demand that they do so. That's hypocrisy, and the reason I will not ask you for hard statistics on your poison risk. However, if you really are interested in the issues surrounding GM crop development and implementation in modern agricultural communities, I'd suggest you check out this PDF publication from an agricultural department of the UK government.

So there you have it. Evidence at your fingertips. They describe the advantages of GM crops in more detail than I have here, and they analyze the implications for agricultural communities of different sizes and socioeconomic status. You would likely learn a lot from this document, if that is indeed your goal. But if you're just posting to draw attention to yourself like a bully on a playground, grow up.

this is incredible news, for those who can't get to a TV or radio to witness this breaking news

A document illustrating that Al Qaida and Usama Bin Laden (surley Osama Bin Laden) was responsible for the 11/Sept incidents is available from the UK Prime Ministrial website http://www.number10.gov.uk/default.asp?PageID=5322 . I haven't bothered reading it myself so I can't comment about it - but 'remember the source'.
