In the last week the Iranian regime has sent 2 letters to the USA, a state which like it is ruled by God Freaks, and also like it is plausibly credited with promoting the most anti-zionism in the world. It has been a long time since anything as simple as an 8 page letter sent from one "religous nutter" to another could excite comments or be included by the soothsayers of Capital in the reasons for the brief lull and then spike on Oil prices this week. Actually it might be the first time anything as simple as a letter caused that... Dr. Mahmoud (Ahmadinejad / Ahmadinezhad) is the "democratically" elected president of the Islamic republic of Iran, a state which is comitted to the destruction of Israel, the development of Nuclear power, and generally getting up the Yankee nose. George Bush is a man who doesn't read newspapers, uses his illiteracy and mal-adroit speech as a propaganda tool, and consistently involves Jesus (PBUH) in all his decision making. Guantanamo Bay is the most obvious and public sign of US disregard for international law, the place they bothered to tell us about, where over 500 people are held without trial, and experimented on. Its a really scary place. Its so scary that for years we didn't ask questions about it, and its so horrific that Gary Mc Kinnon who used his IT know-how to access the USA defense computers to find out where UFO's really alien or just natural phenomona today is reported as being scared he will be sent there, if extradited. ... read full story / add a comment

little human interest filler article for you all on "world parenting day"(*).- Tokyo yesterday saw a national campaign to encourage the Japanese to have more babies launched. Apparantly the Japanese aren't having enough babies anymore. What is really interesting is the way they decided to promote "having babies". ... read full story / add a comment

"No Less Courage" By KATE McCABE In a statement to his lawyer, Guantánamo detainee and hunger strike organizer Binyam Mohammed al-Habashi said of his plans to protest his unlawful imprisonment by the United States: "I do not plan to stop until I either die or we are respected. [We] will definitely die. Bobby Sands petitioned the British government to stop the illegitimate treatment of Irishmen without trial. He had the courage of his convictions and he starved himself to death. Nobody should believe for one moment that my brothers here have less courage." ... read full story / add a comment

It's seems that this week Shell and the Department of Marine have been making lots of contradictory statements, almost as if they were trying to give different impressions to different audiences. Andy Pyle's expression of "regret" over the imprisonment of the Rossport Five, while his lawyers are seeking a permanent injunction which he knows will almost certainly result in the five men being returned to prison, is the best example, but there have been plenty more. I guess we'll have to discount what they say, and watch what they do. ... read full story / add a comment

When an article about journalism begins with the sentence "Journalists are not the most important people in the world" you can be reasonably sure what follows will be equally worthless. On World Press Freedom Day the Irish Times took time out from it's job as the giant cog in the mechanism for successful democracy for a bit of self examination. However, what at the outset appeared interesting reading rapidly deteriorated into a random concoction of jargon. 'Citizen' journos? ... read full story / add a comment
