In one of his daily letters to Danish prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and foreign minister Per Stig Møller, prize-winning journalist Bo Elkjær refers to a statement by a State Department official that the United States will conduct future wars through the deployment of ad-hoc coalitions of the willing, similar to that which invaded Iraq in March 2003, rather than relying on established institutions such as NATO or the United Nations to resolve conflicts.

Bo Elkjær shared the prestigious Cavling prize for the year 2003 for his work in publishing meticulously detailed documentation for the falsification of the basis for Danish participation in the invasion of Iraq. Contrary to Danish principles of transparency, the prime minister and foreign minister are refusing to grant Elkjær an interview in which they might reply to his many pointed questions. ... read full story / add a comment

The call for US army planes using Shannon airport to be inspected was strengthened today when the Council for Europe welcomed the proposal made by the Irish Human Rights Commission.
In a letter to the president of the IHRC, Maurice Manning, the Council supported the need for the planes to be inspected and said that it shared the concerns over the use of Shannon by planes that may be carrying prisoners destined for illegal torture camps.
Alvaro Gil-Robles, Council for Europe Human Rights Commissioner, said states had a responsibility to ensure that their territories are not used for illicit purposes. ... read full story / add a comment

His comments were widely seen as a thinly veiled attack on his party leader, Pat Rabbitte. ... read full story / add a comment

After a 2 ½ day retreat of community building, prayer and reflection on the infant narrative of Mathew's Gospel and the ignored yet deeper meaning of Christmas that is revealed in Scriptures, 30 brave souls gathered at the main gate of Offutt Air Force Base at 12:30 p.m. on Dec 28th, the Catholic Feast of the Holy Innocents. Their purpose was to bear witness to a truer and deeper meaning of Christmas by connecting the mission and work of Offutt's Strategic Nuclear and Space Commands to the killing of the innocent children of Bethlehem as reported in Mathew's Christmas story. ... read full story / add a comment

In a few days mostly un-noticed by most, EU presidential power will go from the UK to another member of the 25 states, the lucky recipient is Austria.

Austria has quite a history, it used have an empire. & in the last years almost all of its ex-posessions have joined the Europe of 25.

It is also a neutral state, its neutrality being a condition of its post war occupation and partition when rather than being held responsible for WW2 it was declared the first victim of Nazism. Despite the fact that Hitler was an austrian and the majority of Concentration camp directors were austrian too. ... read full story / add a comment
