In view of the Bush Administration's brutal illegal and inhumane war against Iraq, we the undersigned call on the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, other Irish politicians and Government representatives, not to meet with President Bush in the United States over the coming Saint Patrick's Day events. Shannon Airport should no longer be used to ferry American troops back and forward to Iraq. read full story / add a comment

It should now be apparent to all that the usual strategies have proven ineffective against the ultra-right of today. The reasons are clear; the right is playing hard, fast and bold while the opposition is lost in analysis and navel gazing. ‘Storming the Bastille’ may again be required to precipitate change. Demos, alternative media, various forms of dissenting propaganda have all failed to alter the course of events. It would seem that while one side is playing hardball (for keeps) the other is content to fossick on the shores of world-shaping politics. read full story / add a comment

After three years since the start of the Iraq, where is the US in this project? To answer that we have to look at why the war was launched and what the neocon elite in Washington wants. Their aim is very simple, and very hard to achieve – control of the world order. read full story / add a comment

"No one now disputes that stopping Slobodan Milosevic was the right thing to do,” wrote the Wall Street Journal this week, several days after the deposed Serbian strongman expired in his cell in the Hague. It’s an appealing sentiment, suggesting as it does that the man who presided over the deaths of 250,000 people in Yugoslavia in the 1990s died unsung and unmourned. In reality, however, even Slobodan Milosevic had his defenders. What is more, they are the same voices--largely on the far Left but also on the isolationist Right--who have now taken up the cause of Saddam Hussein. read full story / add a comment

In an article published on Sunday 12 March, The Chicago Tribune disclosed that it had discovered the identities of "more than 2,600 CIA employees, 50 internal agency telephone numbers and the locations of some two dozen secret CIA facilities around the United States." Some of those exposed were supposedly secret agents, but the information was freely available on searching in an online database accessed on paying a subscription. Searching aviation databases for flights landing or taking off from the small airstrip at the CIA's training facility at Camp Peary revealed 17 aircraft whose ownership and flight histories could also be traced. Unfortunately, the Trib has not published details of just how it found the classified information. Please read the full article below - reproduced in full so as to ensure free and full access under principles of fair use. read full story / add a comment
