I campaigned for the office of MEP based on a platform of independence. I wanted to be a voice of independence for my Munster constituents, neither to be beholden to any interest group nor to be forced to take positions against the interests of the people. There are a lot of people who felt unrepresented or under-represented and I wanted them to have a voice. I also wanted to promote positions that I felt strongly about, but had difficulty finding support in the political parties who are too close to special interest groups. read full story / add a comment

Italian Leftists Appeal Withdraw Italian troops from Afghanistan! Support needed from international Left Sinistra Critica (Critical Left) The new centre-left italian government of Romano Prodi is going to ask parliament to vote for continuing the Italian military presence in Afghanistan. This is a clear break with the anti-war feelings of the Italian left that were expressed in the enomous anti-war mobilizations which took place under the reactionary Berlusconi government. read full story / add a comment

Anti-War Ireland maintained a vigil at the Deepwater Quay in Cobh this afternoon where the US warship - the USS The Sullivans - remained berthed. Holding placards against the presence of the warship, several Cobh anti-war activists challenged various local worthies between 6pm and 7pm as they boarded the ship to sup with the captain and his senior officers. The members of the local Urban District Council had been invited to an on-board reception this evening, but anti-war activists spotted just three of the town's nine councillors accepting the invitation, though others may have slipped in through the back. Cllr Kieran McCarthy (SF) and Cllr Paddy Histon (Ind) made it clear to Anti-War Ireland that they were purposively boycotting the event; indeed, McCarthy has stood with the protestors throughout the visit. Disgracefully, however, the Labour Party mayor of Cobh, Noirin Doyle, was seen to board the ship at 6.40pm tonight, accompanied by Fine Gael Councillor Stella Meade. read full story / add a comment

The International Federation of Journalists on Tuesday denounced countries including Denmark, the United States and the United Kingdom for “trying to intimidate and stifle independent journalism.” The IFJ says that a global crackdown on investigative journalism led by countries that are supposed to be models of democracy is repressive and is depriving people of their basic rights – “most importantly the right of citizens to know what their government is doing.” Meanwhile, one of Denmark's conservative daily papers, Berlingske Tidende, yesterday reported that the paper's editor-in-chief is now being indicted, along with two of his journalists, for publishing information obtained from classified military intelligence documents. In the documents, prepared before Denmark invaded Iraq in 2003, the Danish defence intelligence service advised the government that there was no sure evidence that Iraq was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. These developments stand in stark contrast to the rosy picture of freedom of the press painted by the Danish government in association with the deliberately provocative publication of cartoons of Muhammad in another Danish newspaper last year. Please read excerpts from the IFJ's report plus an English translation of Berlingske Tidende's latest report, below. read full story / add a comment |
