Six Limerick men have been acquitted of charges of membership of the Continuity IRA. A seventh man, 54-year-old Patrick O'Shea, also from Limerick, was convicted of the offence. He will be sentenced tomorrow morning. The trial was the longest in recent years in the Special Criminal Court. The seven men were arrested after a garda surveillance operation of suspected (So-Called) dissident Republicans in the Limerick area. In their evidence, each of the men denied membership of an unlawful organisation and said that on the night of the their arrests, they had been attending an informal meeting of Republican Sinn Fein. read full story / add a comment

“They were ordinary people. During the war, everyone was confused. The Americans were saying one thing, the government another. People didn’t know whether to stay in their homes, or to try to travel to the villages, where it was safer. The vans were driving slowly down the road, because the Americans had made many check-points. There was no warning, the tank just opened fire.” read full story / add a comment

Scaring the public has historically been shown to be an effective weapon against reason and an effective means to promote enemy identification, which primates are great at doing. The 20th century offers some notable examples. read full story / add a comment

I have just been informed, through a very reliable security source in Shannon Airport, that tomorrow afternoon, Colin Powell will be touching down in Shannon for a few hours (refueling etc). It's not know if he will be leaving the plane. I swear I'm not making this up, and if the source is wrong, it's because he himself has been lied to. read full story / add a comment

Colombian society is today united in horror at the mass slaying of ten FARC kidnap victims. Two of these were prominent politicians who had spent a year in FARC dungeons, having been kidnapped while leading a peace march ! The rest were soldiers (no Geneva Convention for the FARC !). Friends and relatives of Ingrid Betancourt, kidnapped Green Party leader, are reported to be in panic at the prospect that Ingrid too may soon be liquidated by the FARC murder machine read full story / add a comment

"It is effective” says Fatme, of the looting of the museums and ministries,
“By destroying a people’s heritage, you destroy their past and future. We have been made -
to them - a people without a past - our records and archives are destroyed, burnt in the
ministries. We become a people without names, no records to say we exist. It is not the
objects themselves we are sad about, it is what they represented to us. We are the oldest
civilisation, but we are presented to the world as terrorists, as fanatics. Only people who
fight with small guns are called terrorists. Bush, who bombs us with cluster bombs, and
strangles us with the embargo, is a ‘civilised man.’". read full story / add a comment |
