This recent report outlines the reality of the plight of Palestinian prisoners. The draconian measures Israel is perpetrating make any comparison with British internment of Irish activists tragically laughable. The media is currently holding the line that Israel is making serious concessions by contemplating releasing a small number of prisoners. Reports by Amnesty and Stop the Torture shed light on the list of human rights abuses Israel has been carrying out for decades and which have led to the recent Intifada.

According to former soldier and syndicated journalist Brian Cloughley, The 3rd Infantry division has gone on a pillaging spree in Baghdad airport taking comfy seats, breaking windows in the terminal, taking what they want and leaving it in a state that "would make the Aegean Stables look like a Tiffany’s window." In an article in the Daily Times of Pakistan, he compares and contrasts their oafish looting and destruction to Mary's action -which involved no theft. read full story / add a comment

Also with the battle over the privatization of Dublin Bus looming it would be great if the CM could in some way show support for the Bus Drivers so if anyone has banners or leaflets that could be handed out on the way it might be an idea. Anyway as always come along, bring your bike, your mates and help bring a bit of colour to Dublin for a while this evening. read full story / add a comment

Hi all, Was at the Dublin bus meeting in Liberty hall last night. It was well attended with not only bus drivers and members of political groups but also some customers of Dublin bus who are worried about how the change will affect their lives. There was lots of fighting talk directed towards Seamus Brennan and the government in general. We have a Taoiseach who says he is against privatisation and is pro union, yet every day there seems to be new developments and new legislation from the government that suggests exactly the opposite. read full story / add a comment

The research predicts that winter rainfall in this country will increase by 10%, but will decrease significantly - by as much as 40% - on parts of the south and east coasts in summer. The research says sea level rises, coupled with predicted increases in the frequency of extreme weather events, will make low lying areas extremely vulnerable. read full story / add a comment
