Amnesty's report on weapons used by both sides in Gaza finds much to condemn. http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/MDE15/012/2009/....html The group is particularly hard on the U.S., having found numerous remains of American munitions -- including white phosphorus shells from Pine Bluff Arsenal, and a Hellfire missile made in Orlando. Another weapon which bothers Amnesty is a mysterious munition, filled with cubic particles. This type of ultra-precise strike capability is supposed to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties. So we turn once again to Garlasco's comment, from an earlier conflict: "It is unfortunate that these weapons are being developed specifically for use in densely populated areas which may negate the intended effect." read full story / add a comment

The economy's crashing, the dole queues are growing. Yet the bankers, bosses and developers responsible are untouchable - because the politicians supposed to hold them to account had their noses in the same trough. So-called experts bluster to cover their confusion, make tut-tut noises about corruption and greed, then shake their heads and agree, that in the end its the ordinary workers and taxpayers that will have to foot the bill. Because that's just the way it has to be... read full story / add a comment

Amidst the collapse of the Irish economy, the inhabitants of a rural hinterland begin to feel the touch of the dead hand of the housing market. Set in the notorious ghost estates of post 'celtic tiger' Ireland, Wallets Full of Blood features Dennis Hopper as the voice of Brian (Brains) Ahern. 'Brains' is a developer and a 'big man' in politics. He's also the overseer of a particularly gory property price collapse on 'Fiddler's Green'. He reckons he can clean up as a result of the creeping zombification all around him but his plans take on a zero-sum logic of their own. read full story / add a comment

In a desperate bid to raise more money for the starving Irish bankers, activists from the Final Nail Party took to the streets this morning to collect money from people on their way to work. On top of cuts in wages and conditions of employment, a reduction in services such as public transport and education, and various spurious "levies" and increased taxation; this morning's collection was an opportunity for ordinary workers to contribute directly to help the bankers, some of whom will earn less than two million euro this year. read full story / add a comment
