Have you tried your local library? I know that a lot of libraries here in the US have article/journal databases which are really nice when searching for particular topics.

Yeah, dont know if it was just that library but they diddent have articles..

Just out of curiousity: is that considered a reputable source when writing research papers?

 

[Lilleput]

As long as i dont put wikipedia in the footnote but fiddle around and link its info to the "See also" and References its all good.. What the executives dont know wont hurt em'

i'd use it

Jimmy Wales' Wikipedia comes close to Britannica in terms of the accuracy of its science entries, a Nature investigation finds

Look at the archive of the Financial Times they have a lot of sources and it goes back for ages, although I am sure it costs money, but I have an account. I will have a look tomorrow, but it might take ages to find something good.

Where are you thinking about? Sources from mid to late 2002 or even before? Early 2003? Or March 2003 until today? (I hope I got the dates right )

Seems to one-sided on the first look Just the headlines at least.... I really care about neutral opinion .
Just look at the headline "News you won't find on CNN or FOXNews"

[Lilleput]

I'd like to give you better information (i.e. scientific), but i cannot acces the university research network from home.

Thanks alot, thats a great link! though alot of the links are dead, sadly the Timesonline one is too and i have been trying to find one there.

Screw that. Ask me anything and I'll fill you in.

p.s. Don't forget to mention the alleged phone tapping/spying on UN officials by the Americans and British...which was around the time of the build up to war (they wanted to know the voting intentions of the security council etc...)

I think the best way to go about this is to outline what you want to disucss, and then search for specific articles on that. (instead of sifting through all the articles around that time)
