Yet more bad news if you're a serviceman or servicewoman with the US armed forces. The Pentagon have drawn up a list of sites which their employees will no longer be allowed access from company computers. Though facing off advocates of freedom on the web, the Pentagon were quick to clarify the ban will only apply to US base computers. A regular soldier or officer in Iraq or Afghanistan will still be free to log on to the "banned list" from any internet café they can find in Baghdad or Kabul that are still occupier friendly. The news is sure to overshadow the other little titbits of news from the hive this wednesday evening ; Sarkozy's wife didn't vote in the second round and wants a divorce & Prince Harry of the half-blood Windsor is not afterall to be allowed join his regiment of squaddies in Iraq or active service. Too many threats - too much danger. read full story / add a comment

Iran’s arbitrary arrests of thousands of men and women in recent weeks under the banner of “countering immoral behavior” threaten basic rights to privacy, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch called for the immediate release of all those detained as part of this campaign, including more than 80 people seized in a raid on a private gathering in the city of Esfahan on May 10, 2007. read full story / add a comment

Carol Coleman, RTE's Washington correspondent, interviewed George Bush in 2004, but while the tone and manner of her interview appeared coarse and combative, the questions she posed were not the critical words one might expect for a man, at the time, responsible for 100,000 Iraqi deaths. The context remained, not that the invasion of Iraq was illegal, as Kofi Annan had stated, but that it was a mistake - a far more friendly term. read full story / add a comment
