    A White House leak revealing astonishing details of how Tony Blair and George Bush lied about the Iraq war is set to cause a worldwide political storm.
    A new book exposes how the two men connived to dupe the United Nations and blows the lid off Mr Blair’s claim that he was a restraining influence on Mr Bush.
    He offered his total support for the war at a secret White House summit as Mr Bush displayed his contempt for the UN, made a series of wild threats against Saddam Hussein and showed (…)

    WHAT IS KILLING HUNGARIANS? For millions of former subjects of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe the Cold War is still killing but is killing them softly. Thanks to lying mainstream media essentially nobody knows about this (except for specialist epidemiologists) - the silence is deafening. We are OBLIGED to INFORM EVERYONE about mass mortality and gross inhumanity.
    On 26 January 2006 a letter (reproduced below) was (with some slight changes) variously sent to governments and mainstream (…)

    By Philip Shishkin in Faizabad, Afghanistan, and David Crawford in Berlin, The Wall Street Journal
    The suspicious whirring of a motor came from somewhere in the dark skies above the river separating Northern Afghanistan from Tajikistan. Tajik border guards say they shouted warnings and then opened fire. What fell out of the sky was a motorized parachute carrying 18 kilograms of heroin.
    It was a small drop in a mighty flood of Afghan heroin that is reshaping the world drug market. Once (…)

  • Bush rebuffs Merkel on Guantanamo
    16 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    US President George W Bush has rejected criticism over the Guantanamo Bay camp raised by German Chancellor Angela Merkel during talks in Washington.
    President Bush said it was a necessary part of protecting the American people.
    But the two leaders presented a united front over Iran resuming its nuclear programme, and commentators said they appeared to have got on well.
    It is her first official US visit since her election which, Mr Bush joked, much like his own, was not a landslide win. (…)

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel will not be heading to Washington empty handed on her inaugural visit to the White House this week. Keen to improve ties with the United States, she is reportedly going to offer to expand Berlin’s commitments to Iraq.
    George W. Bush has got to be pleased. Finally rid of that irksome Gerhard Schröder — whose staunch opposition to the war in Iraq strained trans-Atlantic ties — the United States president can look forward to a visit from a much more amicable (…)

    "Iran’s relations with its erstwhile partners in Europe seem to be hurtling downhill like a snowball out of control." - Bridget Kendall, BBC diplomatic correspondent, 27 October 2005
    No prizes awarded for what inspired this classic piece of state propaganda but it speaks reams about the relationship between the state and the corporate media. After all, what is it based on? Nothing more than the US and UK’s assertion concerning Iran’s ‘intentions’, in other words, Ms. Kendall’s words are (…)

    "You’re like an ambassador for peace," a Spanish journalist told me as we finished one of the dozens of interviews I gave in Europe. I did this interview right before I went to urge the Spanish Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs to oppose the war more strenuously.
    In reality, I did feel like an ambassador for peace as I traveled around Europe for 16 days in December.
    The Mayor of London held a reception in honor of our peace efforts at the new and very modern City Hall, near the (…)
