According to the Dáil Report in The Irish Times on Friday 11 November, the Taoiseach said: “Human Rights Watch went on to say that it was highly unlikely that this type of clandestine activity [i.e. the CIA's extraordinary renditions] would operate out of a major civilian airport.” On this basis, we are to be reassured that we do not need to search US aircraft landing at Shannon. In a letter to the Taoiseach, I quote reports from mainstream media sources of CIA aircraft operating its extraordinary abuses out of the following major civilian airports: Bromma (aka Stockholm City Airport), Dulles (Washington), Prestwick (Glasgow), Queen Alia (Amman) and Kastrup (Copenhagen). If all of these airports have been used and abused, then why not Shannon? read full story / add a comment

I read the text of the this speech firstly with amusement and scorn but then with growing concern followed by shock then revulsion and finally REAL fear and terror. I cannot empahise how disturbed and sick I feel now. This man is not just an idiot - He is evil incarnate and brimming with the most poisonous self-righteousness imaginable. He is not pretending - he actually believes what he is saying. Anybody who is concerned about the future of the world must read this monstrous speech - It is even worse than the infamous "Axis of Evil" State of the Union address of 2002. It does not auger well for Palestine or Iran or Syria or the human rights in the Middle East. I have encluded the entire text. Read it closely and with awe at how far gone this guy and his country really are. Bulk of text removed by editor. This speech is widely available on the internet.

When forced to produce, what do we get? The same fanatic imbeciles that were paraded on the local media after the London bombings and some others armed with PVC pipe, ‘sticky-tape and chewing gum’! Compare these outcomes with real bombings in George St. Sydney, in the seventies. Most Australians are aware that, like all other nations, we have always had our share of extremist fanatics, they can be easily located in mosques, churches and synagogues around the nation. There is nothing new in this regard; the existence of social misfits does not warrant the implementation of draconian policies on a national level. read full story / add a comment

A bishops' letter in the fall of 2002 against war and a 2004 statement urging United Nations' involvement in finding peace in Iraq were not enough, 95 bishops of the United Methodist Church said in a "Statement of Conscience" released Wednesday. read full story / add a comment |
