This piece is a personal refelection on the build up to what seems like an entirely immoral war. It attempts to look at some of the main arguments put forward by the pro-war lobby and aims to arm those who oppose it with some of the verbal ammunition that they can use to fight back... ... read full story / add a comment

A Chronicle reporter was present when the astronaut arrived. First seeing the image on a large computer screen, she had one word: "Wow." In the critical shot, a glowing purple rope of light corkscrews down toward the plasma trail, appears to pass behind it, then cuts sharply toward it from below. As it merges with the plasma trail, the streak itself brightens for a distance, then fades. "It certainly appears very anomalous," said Jernigan. "We sure will be very interested in taking a very hard look at this." ... read full story / add a comment

On 31 january, activists held a 12 hr vigil in Derry's Guildhall on the 31 anniversary of Bloody Sunday against Raytheon, the arms trade, and the commission of the Bloody Sundays of the 21st century. At the end of the vigil they posed for a photograph holding a placard which reads "FREE MARY KELLY", in honour of their Donegal sister charged with allegedly sabotaging an American weapon of mass destruction at Shannon. A spokeswoman for the group told indymedia "As the Bloody Sunday relatives can tell you, States committ horrific crimes against ordinary citizens in the pursuit of their interests. They then turn around and demand that you bury the hatchet and turn the page of history so that they can be let off the hook. That's bonkers. Mary Kelly has it the right way round. The only place to bury your hatchet is in the instruments that are going to ... read full story / add a comment

Government spending this January has increased by 33% over January 2003. The reason is that Charlie McCreevy wants to hide the massive 2002 increase in spending that got Fianna Fail re-elected. So he 'moved' a lot of 2002 spending into 2003. The Greens want a diferent system of accounting that will stop this kind of book-fixing. ... read full story / add a comment
