This is a very strange story. The relative casualties - seven coalition dead, 300 insurgents dead, suggests that a massacre took place. In the Irish Times it is stated that the Iraqi government originally claimed that the dead were Sunnis. I haven't managed to find an independent assessment of this story. If anyone can find one then please post a link here. pat c read full story / add a comment

A genocide is engulfing the people of Gaza while a silence engulfs its bystanders. "Some 1.4 million people, mostly children, are piled up in one of the most densely populated regions of the world, with no freedom of movement, no place to run and no space to hide," wrote the senior UN relief official, Jan Egeland, and Jan Eliasson, then Swedish foreign minister, in Le Figaro. They described people "living in a cage", cut off by land, sea and air, with no reliable power and little water and tortured by hunger and disease and incessant attacks by Israeli troops and planes. read full story / add a comment

Robert Drinan SJ, who was elected to the US Congress on an Anti-War ticket has died. Drinan was elected in 1970, after he beat longtime Democratic Rep. Philip J. Philbin. He became the first member of Congress to call for the impeachment of Richard Nixon for what Drinan viewed as the administration's undeclared war against Cambodia. Drinan was forced to step down from Congress due to pressure from the Vatican. Full text at link. pat c read full story / add a comment

I was quite surprised at the reaction of the Report by Nuala O'Loan on Collusion and the murder of innocent people during the dreadful Troubles in the North of Ireland. My surprise is like that of the Haughey Repoirt and corruption, it proves that inspite of the fact that we all know, denial takes over. Some years ago, Nuala O'Loan gave a report on the 1998 Omagh bombing. Her reporr then was thorough and very well investigated. Afterwards, Ronnie Flanagan, the then Chief Constable of the RUC, when he said in public 'I will commit suicide if one single statement of this report is true'. At that time Nuala O'Loan criticised the handling by the RUC before and after the Omagh bombing. Nuala O'Loan had come across serious evidence that the RUC ignored vital information which may have prevented the attack. Do not forget that the Gardai Special Branch have serious matters to answer on this matter too. read full story / add a comment |
