Idealists and utopians would claim that this phenomenon is the beginning of the disentanglement of the public sphere and political debate from the traditional dominance of political parties, big business, corporate media and vested interests who dictate what can and cannot be discussed, what is relevant and what is news-worthy. The political participation of the ordinary citizen could eventually be conducted entirely through electronic means. Instead of representative government it is suggested in the future technology will enable all citizens to engage in the ongoing political debate. The pattern whereby citizens vote at the end of each government term with paper ballots could be replaced with a form of direct democracy. History would have turned full circle as a global village like the ancient Greek city states would decide its priorities bypassing the traditional power structure of wealth and power.

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
