World War 4 Report provides concise, comprehensive daily reportage and analysis on US military operations and the "War on Terrorism"; resource wars and autonomy struggles; and dissident-left perspectives from the Middle East, Latin America and around the world. It has been an ongoing news digest and commentary since the immediate aftermath of 9-11.
