  • On Trial - Saddam Hussein or Iraqi Special Tribunal?
    30 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Diana Lee
    Out of 500 possible charges, prosecutors in the acclaimed “trial of the century” have narrowed it down to 12 documented cases to be presented against the former leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. Since October 19, 2005, the slow progress of Saddam’s first trial has descended into mayhem. The circumstances surrounding the trial and the court proceedings have raised serious doubts about the fairness and legitimacy of the Iraqi Special Tribunal.
    Like the Nuremberg Trials and the (…)

    " The end result was a mixed bag for Fitzgerald. While a grand jury found the Gambinos guilty of jumping bail , it was deadlocked on the other charges..... Jerry Capeci , editor of Ganglandnews.com , said " it was hung 11-1 for conviction and they (The Gambinos ) copped pleas....the feds suspected that the holdout had been bought ........ Capeci found it interesting that both guys ( Pat Fitzgerald and James Comey) became US Attorneys in the two major cities in the country (Chicago and NY (…)

  • Tribute to a National Hero
    15 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    RAF Flight Lieutenant Malcolm Kendall-Smith, having refused to serve in Iraq in what he correctly believes is an occupation brought about by an illegal war, is predictably given an 8-month prison sentence, fined £20,000 costs and dismissed from his job. Kendall-Smith, now a national hero, follows in the steps of Ben Griffin who resigned from the Army SAS in a similar protest.
    Despite all the pompous huffing and puffing from a few military wallahs rolled-out for the occasion the fact (…)

    MILOSEVIC’S DEATH: A POLITICAL ASSASSINATION BLAMED ON THE VICTIM
    By Sara Flounders Co-Director, International Action Center, NYC
    March 16, 2006—In the summer of 2004 I met with former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic in Scheveningen prison when I was approved as a defense witness. Before I could get in, I had to pass four totally separate check points, unable to take in anything but papers. Each level of security was more rigid than the one before.

    Of course, however the mistake is made, we all know that our wonderful governments do not admit to fallibility. How we have suffered as a result. Now the time has surely arrived for us, as a nation, to take a grown up standpoint on such a ridiculous decision.
    Cannabis is called weed for a single reason: if it gets the chance it will grow anywhere. From that position (…)
