Amidst Invasion Talk, Iraq Accuses Turkey of Bombing Northern Region * Following weeks of a Turkish military build-up along Iraq¹s northern borders, the Iraqi government formally accused Turkey of bombing northern parts of the country. Turkey in turn asserted that the Kurdish Workers Party is being indirectly armed by the US military. With increasing talk of a Turkish invasion, we go to Turkey to speak with chief Christian Science Monitor Middle East correspondent Scott Peterson. We¹re also joined in Washington by Laura Rozen, national security correspondent for Mother Jones.

The human rights groups EarthRights International filed the class action lawsuit on behalf of six Colombians whose relatives had allegedly been murdered by a Colombian paramilitary group that was partially funded by Chiquita. The lawsuit alleges that the banana giant funneled money and guns to a rightwing death squad that murdered thousands of people and shipped untold amounts of cocaine to the United States.
