"There’s, as you've reported, no sign that the people had plane tickets. It's very difficult to bomb a plane without a plane ticket, no sign that they’d actually made any bombs yet. And the evidence is that these people had been under surveillance for quite a long time by the British Security Services, who hadn't seen any need of the early arrests ... read full story / add a comment

Most people are familiar with the popular tales of the half-dead venomous snake that bit the man who saved its life and the scorpion that stung the frog that ferried it (on its back) away from floodwaters that threatened to drown it. Both stories share a similar moral; the beast remains true to its nature regardless of noble, humanitarian, mitigating factors – serpents will always strike and scorpions will always sting, regardless! read full story / add a comment

There were some disturbing reports circulating on the net last year from the Workers Communist Party of Iraq on attacks on women by political Islamists. Now it seems in Baghdad Islamists are deepening their imposition of social morals on women. Anyone who has ever read Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, with its account of the slow disintegration of female autonomy in Iran will notice the striking similarity with the blog account below. Its by an Iraqi woman and is an award winning blog.. read full story / add a comment

The VICTORY of the day is for PEACE and there is nothing any power, state, or group could do to prevent the (future) peaceful intentions of the people.

Defence Minister Willie O'Dea has criticised the outcome of the recent trial involving the five anti-war activists who damaged a US military aircraft at Shannon Airport more than three years ago. The five admitted attacking the plane, but said they did so to prevent greater crimes from being committed in Iraq and Afghanistan. They were all acquitted last month after a jury at Dublin Circuit Court agreed that they had a lawful excuse for their actions. However, Mr O'Dea, who is a trained barrister, claimed today that the jury was wrong in its decision. "I don't think this defence should have been allowed to go to the jury in the first place and secondly, I don't think the jury should have found as they did," he said. "But, as you know, the courts are independent and the Government can't over-rule or interfere in the operation of the courts. "That's essential in a democracy, but a democracy also has the right to protect itself against terror." read full story / add a comment
