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

FAILURE is emblazoned on the foreheads of all those involved. 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. Human civilisation and the blood of innocents demand it! read full story / add a comment

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

We were told last week that the 'Terror Plot' was only days away from being implemented. Now it turns out there were no bombs made, they had NOT bought any airline tickets and that some of the so-called plotters didn't even have a passport. That would mean they would not even get pass the check-in desk. In other words there was no plot. So it is just like all the other scares that had no substance to them and it was purely designed to hype the fear and ratchet up further police state measures and basically intimidate the population. read full story / add a comment
