A draft European Parliament report into alleged CIA rendition flights has expressed 'serious concerns' over the 147 stopovers made by CIA-operated aircraft at Irish airports. The report says these aircraft were on many occasions coming from, or en route to, countries linked with 'extraordinary rendition' and the transfer of alleged terrorism suspects or detainees. It also claims that CIA linked aircraft which had stopped off in Ireland had 'certainly been used for the extraordinary renditions' of nine named individuals. http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2006/1128/bre...4.htm Working documents on companies involved http://www.statewatch.org/cia/documents/working-doc-no-...6.pdf ... read full story / add a comment

A recent study highlighting the rapid expansion of organised criminal activity in those areas where NATO and the U.S. have engaged in aggressive military intervention offers further evidence of the lasting negative social consequences of foreign occupation by neo-colonial powers. As corporate driven America attempts to assert its dominance over weaker nations, organised crime, quick to exploit traumatised societies, becomes the principal beneficiary in the 'war against terror' and the spread of ‘democracy, liberty’ and free market capitalism – what is good for capitalist America is even better for a crime boss! ... read full story / add a comment

Rape victims are being turned away from the very facilities designed to help them. Victims who have been turned away from facilities around the country are also going to Dublin for treatment resulting in a 30% increase in the number of people reporting there for treatment. Dublin treatment centres were already in crisis. The treatment unit in the Rotunda has been closed because there is no doctor available. Ellen O'Malley-Dunlop, of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre says that the crisis is due to a lack of funding. Nora Newell, a Spokesperson for the Rape Crisis Centre in Letterkenny, reports that women are not reporting rapes because a lack of forensic doctors there means they would have to travel to Dublin wearing the same clothes and this would be unbearable. ... read full story / add a comment

A recent news report detailing the effects of Globalisation – western economic/military expansionism by any other name – and the explosion of organised criminal activity in the Balkans was aired today on ABC Radio Australia. The primary item of interest dealt with the negative impact that Western Europe, including the UK, is experiencing as a result of the activities of Albanian, Turkish, Bosnian, Bulgarian and Serbian criminal syndicates. According to the report NATO’s intervention and the subsequent elimination of traditional regulatory forces and authorities in the region has facilitated the “explosion”. ... read full story / add a comment

DEFENCE MINISTER Willie O’Dea was at the centre of another embarrassing gaffe last night after it was claimed he was forced to pull out of the launch of the biography of the famed Limerick IRA man Sean South of Garryowen. The minister, who is also from Limerick, withdrew from the event claiming he did not realise who the book was about when he agreed to do the launch. The biography by Des Fogerty is entitled Sean South of Garryowen. ... read full story / add a comment

John Howard, lackey Prime Minister of Australia and member of the coalition of willing criminals, today stated that he is “horrified“ at the loss of life in Iraq. In view of the fact that Howard, Bush and Blair are DIRECTLY responsible for the illegal invasion and the hundreds of thousands of subsequent deaths in Iraq, we are horrified that these men have avoided prosecution to date! ... read full story / add a comment

Bush has now authorised spying on Alcatel. Alcatel has a large operation in Ireland and if Bush has his way and the NSA has the right to examine all Alcatels' records and keep it under constant surveillance, the calls of Irish mobile phone users will be available to the US. All because Bush claims Alcatel, "might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States". ... read full story / add a comment

Foreboding has hit the ranks of private equity firms; try as they might to unload vast amounts of funds (monetary value is inextricably linked to the movement of those funds) they have been unable to spend/invest at a rate that would sustain value let alone increase real profits! The ‘healthy figures’ reflecting increased acquisitions/investments are on paper only – it ‘looks good’ at the moment! ... read full story / add a comment
