    In a column entitled “Senator Frist in a fluster over Democrats filibuster” in The Irish Times (conservative/liberal Irish newspaper of record) today, the paper’s US correspondent Conor O’Clery addresses the renewed fuss brewing in the US about allegations of fraud in the presidential elections of last November.
    See excerpt below.
    I am naturally delighted that O’Clery has come good on a promise to give the matter some attention, following messages about the statistical analysis and Clint (…)

    Workers arriving at the Caterpillar - Perkins site in Irlam, Greater Manchester this morning were surprised, first by a 30 foot yellow banner with an acrylic image of a Palestinian, head in hands, whose house is being demolished by a Cat bulldozer while an Israeli soldier stands guard. The spray-painted text proclaims "Stop Caterpillar... Palestine... House Demolitions... Apartheid Wall... Perkins... 100% owned by Caterpillar... Israeli Tank Deal".
    The banner flew from a mound of grass (…)

  • Blair, Damaged by Role in Iraq War, Faces Judgment on Character

    Four months after British and American soldiers invaded Iraq in 2003, U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair received a gold medal and standing ovation from the U.S. Congress as he pledged, You’re not going to be alone.’’
    To Americans, Blair, 51, is the most stalwart of allies, winning him popularity ratings that any U.S. politician would envy — 76 percent in a November 2003 Gallup poll. At home, it’s another story. Critics deride him as untrustworthy, and taunt him as President George W. (…)

    The photos of the British soldiers torturing some Iraqi detainees show the hidden page of the military intervention ( invasion ) in Iraq. The photos were released after 20 months of the committed abuses. This 22 photos form the second set of photos of the British troops, which has been disclosed. There are much larger number of photos, and much larger number of abuses were not photographed. The Iraqis themselves know the size of these brutal crimes. The inhuman acts have initiated violent (…)

    The International Criminal Tribunal for Iraq (ICTI) this week found both Bush and Tony Blair guilty of a series of charges, and found they deserve life sentences for war crimes and genocide in Iraq.
    The tribunal found Bush guilty on 13 counts, Blair guilty of eight crimes, Koizumi guilty on four counts and Arroyo guilty of aiding and abetting the other defendants of crimes of aggression and crimes against humanity, Abe said.
    Bush is guilty of genocide for the use of "devastating" (…)

  • SOLDIERS GUILTY OF "BRUTAL AND REVOLTING" IRAQI ABUSE
    25 February 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    2 comments

    A MILITARY court today found two British soldiers guilty of abusing Iraqi prisoners in acts depicted in a series of sickening photographs.
    The behaviour of Mark Cooley and Daniel Kenyon and two other soldiers was described as "brutal", "cruel" and "revolting" by the military judge.
    And he added that the shocking pictures, used as evidence in the trial, had "undoubtedly tarnished the international reputation of the British Army and to some extent the British nation too".

    By James Sturke
    Greenpeace campaigners, not a group of people unaccustomed to flying in the face of danger, were forced into a tactical retreat yesterday after feeling the wrath of angry oil traders.
    On the day the Kyoto Protocol came into force, 35 eco-warriors stormed the Interna- tional Petroleum Exchange [IPE] in the City. Armed with fog horns, rape alarms and whistles they tried to stall business by creating a deafening noise that made it impossible for the traders to work. But the (…)

  • Bush and Condi Failed US on 9/11-The Security of our Country is Severely in Danger

    With the news that President Bush and his administration knew of impending suicidal airplane attacks on American soil and did nothing about it directly indicates a dangerous ineffectiveness and incompetence to protect America.
    The failure to implement internal security for our country compounds our inability to secure America. After 911, few safe guards were implemented to protect our national security. Our boarders are not protected, our nuclear and chemical plants are not adequately (…)

    RULE BRATANNIA Jan 20 2005
    See their disgust for democracy
    TONIGHT America exports a sight more obscene, costly and unnecessary than Jackie Stallone’s face.
    The lavish $40million presidential coronation of a thick little rich kid is guaranteed to trawl the depths of bad taste, giving us cynical Brits another chance to look down on an emotionally-deficient nation celebrating the re-election of a mentally-deficient primate.
    Well laugh until you fall off your high horses, folks, (…)
