What a time we live in - recession time!

So here's a diary - a recession diary - to keep up with the rapid-fire events and commentary - as rapid as the downturn itself. ... read full story / add a comment

He has offered as reason the concerted media campaign of vilification launched against him in the last days as it was revealed that upon leaving prison and completing his prison sentences he will take up residence in a flat owned by his wife, who he married whilst in prison, on the same street as several victims of ETA.

Noam Chomsky writes on the oil robbery taking place in Iraq. No-bid contracts written by the oil corporations with the aid of U.S. officials, triumphed over offers from 40 other companies, including those in China, India and Russia. Chomsky also deals with the occupation and aggression towards Iran. Full text at link.

The deal just taking shape between Iraq's Oil Ministry and four Western oil companies raises critical questions about the nature of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq — questions that should certainly be addressed by presidential candidates and seriously discussed in the United States, and of course in occupied Iraq, where it appears that the population has little if any role in determining the future of their country. ... read full story / add a comment

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
