Robert Fisk: 'Can't Blair see that this country is about to explode? Can't Bush?
"Deadly force is authorised," it says on checkpoints all over Baghdad. Authorised by whom? There is no accountability. Repeatedly, on the great highways out of the city US soldiers shriek at motorists and open fire at the least suspicion.
