After three years since the start of the Iraq, where is the US in this project? To answer that we have to look at why the war was launched and what the neocon elite in Washington wants. Their aim is very simple, and very hard to achieve – control of the world order. ... read full story / add a comment

In an article published on Sunday 12 March, The Chicago Tribune disclosed that it had discovered the identities of "more than 2,600 CIA employees, 50 internal agency telephone numbers and the locations of some two dozen secret CIA facilities around the United States." Some of those exposed were supposedly secret agents, but the information was freely available on searching in an online database accessed on paying a subscription. Searching aviation databases for flights landing or taking off from the small airstrip at the CIA's training facility at Camp Peary revealed 17 aircraft whose ownership and flight histories could also be traced. Unfortunately, the Trib has not published details of just how it found the classified information. Please read the full article below - reproduced in full so as to ensure free and full access under principles of fair use. ... read full story / add a comment

Since the Nuremberg Trials came to a close in 1946, condemning the Nazi officials responsible for the Holocaust, it has been the common hope of the people in the world that concentration camps like Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Dachau, would never again emerge in the history of mankind. The horrifying fact is that a similar facility is at this very moment in operation in China. ... read full story / add a comment

International Union of Foodworkers (IUF) and Coca-Cola agreement to request United Nations' ILO to conduct independent investigation of Coca-Cola labour practices in Colombia Posted to the IUF website on 02-Mar-2006 - www.iuf.org The IUF has consistently expressed serious concerns about labour relations practices in the Coca-Cola system's Colombian operations. Like others, we have supported the call for an independent investigation (rather than a Coca-Cola initiated internal assessment) as the only adequate response to reported serious rights violations. The IUF has now secured agreement with The Coca-Cola Company that both parties shall request the United Nations, through its International Labour Organization (ILO), to conduct such an investigation. ... read full story / add a comment

Seán O'Driscoll has written an excellent article in yesterday's Irish Times (March 11 2006) on who gets barred from St Patrick's Day Celebrations in the USA. As the IT is a sub-only site, I've pasted in the article below. Several Irish politicians and other public figures are giving George Bush nice publicity on Patrick's Day in the White House, one day before marchers all over the world demonstrate against the USA government's barbaric war in iraq.

The twisted religion of Blair and Bush Phillip Blond and Adrian Pabst International Herald Tribune FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 2006 Secular Britain was shocked last weekend when Prime Minister Tony Blair said that God would be his judge over the war in Iraq. Similarly, President George W. Bush has often used God to justify the war on terror as a religiously blessed and righteous campaign against "evil doers." Predictably, those who oppose the war view themselves as secular progressives untainted by religious fundamentalism and the madness it produces. ... read full story / add a comment

The prospect of Iran developing a nuclear capability (which would realistically entail at least a five-year time frame) did not prevent John Bolton, US representative to the UN, stating that a “painful” response would be inflicted on Iran if it failed to comply with UN (American) dictates! Questions of the UN’s independence aside, is the focus on Iran a distraction from the debacle that is Iraq or is the USA following their PNAC strategy with little regard for consequences? ... read full story / add a comment
