In one of the last cases which finally should put the "Madrid 11th Bombing conspiracy theorists" beyond the pale of credibility, a court in Madrid has cleared 4 police officers in the forensic division of manipulating evidence. Their evidence which was exposed as flawed during the M11 trial had contributed to a conspiracy theory supported by elements of the right and far right during many years. They were subsequently charged with falsification but now are free and have been termed "honest policemen". The court has decided that an administrative error led to the inclusion of "boric acid" in their report on the explosives and the intention of the charged men was not to falsely implicate ETA in the supply or procurement of the explosives used. read full story / add a comment

Now in the aftermath of a No vote the real reasons for the treaty are increasingly being made public despite the difficulty in getting these topics on the agenda even now as the Irish government 'reflects'. The rejection of the treaty has caused a headache for those politicians who favour EU unification, a unified EU military and further free trade liberalization. The French presidency is attempting to push through as much as possible on militarisation without full ratification. Apparently it was true that french white papers on defence were held over until after our referendum. Little good it did them. One of Sarkozy's problems is that military action undertaken by sub-groups of EU states without the need of agreement from all states has been scuppered by the Irish No as 'Structured co-operation' in Article 48 would have allowed for this and an EU military budget but Nice does not. read full story / add a comment |
