The perspective from the Associated Press - manages to get a Red-scare slur on the CWM, calls the shinners 'ultranationalist' (not a fan of shinners, but that they certainly ain't) and makes reference to "overpowering the guard". Like Bertie's quotes tho... ... read full story / add a comment

NASA is currently engaged in helping to implement the USA's plans to militarize space. The shuttle probably did not carry nuclear material in significant quantities this time, but future ones will if Project Prometheus goes ahead. Furthermore, the heroes that died in the Shuttle could still be alive if the Bush administration had heeded complaints from NASA engineers. ... read full story / add a comment

Like many people born in this country I had the honour of serving in the United States military during the Vietnam war. Hopefully my son will have the chance to join the European rapid reaction force or the Irish army if it is allowed to fight for democracy and this outdated neutrality is dropped. ... read full story / add a comment

Today peaceful protesters injured a garda while trying to cause damage to a plane. This gives a new meaning to the word peaceful. Last week people here were saying criminal damage was ok because nobody was hurt. What have they got to say this week? The sooner they arrest the rest of the criminals down at Shannon the better. Are the protesters in Shannon the same incident peaceful protesters that caused the May Day Riot? If will funny to read all the excuses that will be posted here about what happened today. Because the protesters at Shannon, rts and the rest are never wrong. And I am sure there will be lots of people saying it’s the governments fault LETS HOPE THEY LOCK THESE SCUMBAGS UP ... read full story / add a comment

The "Guernica" work by Pablo Picasso at the entrance of the Security Council of the United Nations has been covered with a curtain. The reason for covering this work is that this is the place where diplomats make statements to the press and have this work as the background. The Picasso work features the horrors of war. On January 27 a large blue curtain was placed to cover the work. A diplomat stated that it would not be an appropriate background if the ambassador of the United States at the U.N. John Negroponte, or Powell, talk about war surrounded with women, children and animals shouting with horror and showing the suffering of the bombings. ... read full story / add a comment

According to an Ireland.com report (below) a Garda spokesman said this afternoon no officer was injured or hospitalised in the Shannon incident - despite what government ministers are saying. The government will no doubt try any trick to try and split the anti-war movement in the run-up to Feb 15 (like in the UK banning the Feb 15th march from assembling in Hyde Park). Congratulations guys on disarming part of the murder machine. ... read full story / add a comment
