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

David Hicks, good, bad or just plain stupid remains an Australian son. Democratic nations have a responsibility to protect their citizens in times of need; a number of democratic nations have already successfully repatriated their citizens from the illegal torture centre of Guantanamo Bay; however, after a period of four years the Howard government has been unable or unwilling to effect the repatriation of David Hicks. If a truly strong case against Hicks existed it surely would have been prosecuted to the full advantage of the terrorist scare campaign that Bush constantly wages on the American people. The fact that the USA is loath to give Hicks a fair and open trial, and in view of the obvious manipulative tactics utilised by corrupt U.S. ‘legal’ officers to delay proceedings, it would appear that the grounds upon which the U.S. military have based their ‘case’ are extremely flimsy and/or could attract litigation for illegal detention, torture and human rights abuses! read full story / add a comment
