Below is a copied/pasted article from the Wayne Madsen Report website. U.S. military intelligence sources have told WMR that the artillery shell shown below being used by an Israel Defense Force member in Lebanon, is a type of dual and multi-use weapon the neocons falsely accused Saddam Hussein of possessing. Although the canister artillery shell is marketed as an anti-land mine fuel-air bomb, its payload can also include the chemicals used in thermobaric bombs, white phosphorous weapons, and chemical weapons. Thermobaric bombs contain polymer-bonded explosives or solid fuel-air explosives in their payloads. Thermobarics use a fuse munition unit (FMU) such as that seen on the nose of the Israeli artillery shell. The shell penetrates buildings, underground shelters, or tunnels, creating such a blast pressure that all the oxygen is sucked out from the spaces and the lungs of anyone who happens to be in proximity. Israel's use of such "vacuum" weapons has been reported from across Lebanon. read full story / add a comment

An article published in the Sunday Times last week recounted the ending of the mediation, when Peter Cassells wrote to the Rossport Five to say he could find no basis for a settlement between the consortium of multi-national companies who want to force a dangerous experimental pipeline through Rossport and the five men, who with their families, friends and supporters have campaigned for the gas from the Corrib field to be processed offshore. The article was broadly factual, while showed a tendency to look at the situation from the point of view of big business and government, which is of course to be expected form a newspaper like the ST. What was interesting was an editorial published in the same edition, which tried to present as fact a complete misrepresention of the controversial pipeline/refinery scheme,while attempting to smear the campaign against it as a local dispute which had been "hijacked' by Sinn Féin. Below are the letters sent in to counteract these views. read full story / add a comment
