Up to 25% of the weapons caches are imported since the US occupation 2. The US has had to abandon several military outposts 3. Rape of women and burning of schools is still going on. 4. Al Qaeda still operate a radio station within Afghanistan which calls for the expulsion of the Americans. Where's the "success"? Fisk asks. Are the US going to have another "success" like this in Iraq? References a New York Times article by Marc Kaufman ... read full story / add a comment

As Colin Powell stands before the UN and attempts to convince the world that Hussein and his regime are actively supporting Bin Laden and his cronies, a Britsh governemnt report is leaked stating (in no uncertain terms) that no such links exist.

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
