Lawyer for British resident held captive at Guantánamo Bay writes to Taoiseach Brian Cowen for information on transit through Shannon Airport of planes and personnel involved in the kidnap and torture. On 22 July 2002, CIA crew landed in Shannon on the well-known rendition jet, N379P, having – the previous day – rendered Binyam from Pakistan to Morocco where he faced 18 months of torture. On January 16 2004 CIA crew, this time in N313P, stopped in Shannon en route to rendering Binyam Mohamed from Rabat to the notorious ‘Dark Prison’ in Kabul. The crew then went on to render another man, German citizen Khaled el Masri before returning to Washington on 28 January 2004. (Eventually released because the US admitted he was wrong guy.) http://www.reprieve.org.uk/documents/2008_07_28Irishpre...2.pdf read full story / add a comment

The Guardian reports it here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/29/wto.eu It didn't require the Irish Government to use their veto as the farmers have been demanding! Larger forces were at work. China and india don't want to be flooded by cheap food imports from the US. In other words they want to maintain their own small scale agriculture and their own food security. This is spelt out by Mandelson in his blog. Walden Bello of Focus on The Global South, and a noted ongoing critic of the WTO and neo-liberalism more generally, sees the re-localisation of agriculture (that such a collapse may make possible) as central to the mitigation of climate change.
