The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, has managed to gain some international attention after his hysterical attack on presidential candidate, Barack Obama. The seasoned Australian politician knowingly stated that a victory for Obama OR the Democrats would be a victory for al-Qaeda, “I mean, if I we're running al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and pray as many times as possible for a victory not only for Obama but also for the Democrats”. read full story / add a comment

IRELAND has put off signing a UN treaty that bans governments carrying out forced disappearances and jailing people in secret. The treaty criminalises anybody involved in the CIA secret renditions and forces countries to prosecute those involved. The US has said it will not ratify it. Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain have also refused to sign. They have all been associated with the CIA’s kidnapping of terror suspects and with Ireland will be named in a European Parliament report tomorrow. read full story / add a comment |
