Military Commissions will try suspects. Evidence to be used against any suspect need not be shown to the accused person. The accused does not require to be present and the trial can be postponed for years according to last friday's Washington Post. The accused will have the services a U S military lawyer. Hearsay evidence will be admissible, including hearsay evidence of those "rendered" to secret prisons for torture under the terms of the proposed law. The Militiary Commissions can also give life sentences or pass the death sentence. The law, if passed, will be aimed at those the Bush administration regards as "engaged in hostilities" and it applys to acts from killing to damaging "protected property" ... read full story / add a comment

More than 50 Lebanese civilians - some news reports say 54 - sheltering in the basement of a three storey block in Qana have been murdered by the IDF, rescue workers are digging out their bodies by hand, severely hampered by the lack of heavy moving equipment. Angry Lebanese have invaded the UN compound in Beirut and the impending visit of Condoleeza Rice has been cancelled, in revulsion, by the Lebanese government - however, the US spin machine is in overdrive as RTE's Radio 1 is now reporting that Condi called of her empty shuttle efforts herself. ... read full story / add a comment

At exactly 12 noon today watched by crowds of curious people wanting to know what was going on, a proud member of the Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN) in front of a banner reading Shackled, Lonely and Beaten 'exposed' members of the public to the hidden cruelty, violence and degrading conditions animals are being kept in with travelling circuses all over Ireland. She was joined by other members holding posters reading 'Stop Circus Suffering' and 'The Slave Trade Is Alive And Kicking' watched by dozens today's event advanced our campaign to end the use of animals in Irish circuses. It was a great day, tons of positive feedback and more eyes open to the hidden cruelty in Irish circuses. ... read full story / add a comment

The Israeli airforce as we must know by now, in their fight against an estimated 18,000 strong terrorist organisation have destroyed 80% of the infrastructure of a nation-state of less than 4 million people. They've now topped it off by bombing Southern Lebanon's Jiyeh power plant. A plant which had 6 fuel tanks, 4 of them have now burnt - Lebanon is appealing for foam - 1 is still is burning - and 15,000 tonnes of oil have poured onto more than 90 kilometres of the Lebanese coast from Jiyyeh to Shekka, north of the capital, including Beirut's only sandy public beach of Ramlet al-Baida,the coast. To put this in perspective the Prestige Oil Tanker polluted Galicia in Spain by sinking off coast with 30,000 tonnes of oil. At risk is not only the wildlife of the eastern Mediterranean sea, and ironically the fish and birds of northern Israel as well as all of Lebanon - but also the comparatively rare "green back turtle". Its so rare they sell T-shirts of it and do their best to keep it off the extinction list..., ... read full story / add a comment

Has the media has been lying to us all along to justify the horrific Israeli military action against Lebanon? We have all been told that Hezbollah breached Israeli borders and captured Israeli soldiers from behind the Israeli lines and this has been the justification for the annialation of lebanon and the killing of around 400 lebanese people and 4 U.N. observers. ... read full story / add a comment

Only a matter of hours ago as writing, one of Lebanon's privately owned TV stations reported that it had suffered attack from Israeli forces & that the same incident had seen Aamchit army base attacked. This comes a day after UN observers stationed under the UNIFIL mandate in Lebanon were killed despite repeated notification just as if they were Hzb terrorists. Hzb has a telly station, but you're not allowed watch it, and very keen readers of this website will remember I told you all about how the signal is blocked 3 years ago. You can though if clever with a satellite dish and the requisite software get to see LBC TV, but its probably easier to go thier website. After they reported the Israeli forces attack on Aamchit, which is a Lebanese army base some 20 kilometres north of Beirut, which is if you really want to know very far away from their "civilian evacuation zone north of the south" Lebanese border. I'm not an expert, but I watch a lot of telly. American right wing telly has said this morning that the USA is isolated and given space to book writers who argue all Europeans and red Chinese are nazis and thats why they support Hezbollah. This news article has nothing to do with Hezbollah. ... read full story / add a comment

on the 26th of July 1956 Nassar read the proclamation in Cairo by which his popular government liberated the Suez Canal from joint Anglo-French imperialist stockholders. It was one of the most significant nationalisation declarations of history leading to an attack by French & British troops on Egypt and then their sudden abandonment by the USA. 1956 for many proved the watershed (forgive the pun) which forever locked Britian and France out of their imperialist past and proved their inability to act "on their own" if the USA did not support their actions. ... read full story / add a comment
