dublin / politics / elections Wednesday September 08, 2004 - 15:00 by Peter
As if the Green Party hasn't had enough to deal with these days, now this. On August 24, Liz Trojan, the Co-chair of the Pacific Green Party stepped down from her post and exited the Party altogether. Only six days later her fellow co-chair, Jeff Strang abandoned his co-chair position but remained a member of the Party. The two are furious over a recent incident in which an Oregon Green candidate for the House of Representatives, Teresa Keane, switched races and decided to run for US Senate instead.

It sounds frivolous enough. But Trojan and Strang claim that Party by-laws were broken in the process, undermining Green ethics.

Mr Dunne admitted he was disappointed with the decision but insisted the action was never taken to block the M50 motorway but as a protest against the Government’s “anti-heritage legislation“.

His spokesman added: “Many of us are close to financial ruin because of these court actions. But we feel good about what we have done and we feel the Irish people will understand.”

Mr Dunne said he was now focusing his attention on plans to build a section of the M3 motorway close to the Hill of Tara in Co Meath. ... read full story / add a comment

The Terror Experts existed before the Iraqi resistance and they will exist after it. Wherever the oppressed rise and effectively resist imperial rule there will be academic chairs, foundations grants and Centers for International Studies for the ambitious upwardly mobile Terror Expert. The Imperial state will demand their services, the prestigious Councils of Foreign Relations will offer membership and universities will reward them with distinguished professorships. They will be celebrities ­ the mass media talk shows will feature them. They will be far from the killing fields but their spirit will be there, on the front lines and in the torture chambers, guiding the hands that place the hoods over the unredeemable, nihilists, Muslims, Marxists or national patriots. ... read full story / add a comment
