Marc Henzelin a legal expert from Geneva University has explained why he declined to defend Saddam Hussein saying the special tribunal is not compatible with international law and is little more than a soap opera. Iraqi Saddam Hussein is charged with ordering the deaths of 143 Shi'ite Muslim men following a 1982 assassination attempt against him. - He might also face trial for genocide and war crimes for the killing of Kurds in the 1980s, as well as the suppression of uprisings by Shi'ites and Kurds in 1991. The organisation Human Rights Watch said 200,000 potential opponents were killed during Saddam's regime between 1979 and 2003. It would seem like the man ought be put to trial where the international community recognise the process, penalty and court. Does it not? _______________________________________ ... read full story / add a comment

its a slogan we're all familiar with, and its the subtitle of "The Take" one of many movies made on the Brukman factory in Argentina and the collective who worked there before the economic crash of 2001 / 2002 and continued working there. through the crash. "The Take" will perhaps find a wider audience than most other videos and projects, because its co-script writers are Naomi Klein & Avi Lewis. Its now screening. Go, be the audience & media and tell us about it. ... read full story / add a comment

About 120 priests and theologians gathered in Rome yesterday to take part in one of the most exciting new innovations of the Ratzinger "black papacy". The return of the Exorcist. Now like a job in MI6/SIS, languages help, and you probably get more pay than a Metro / Herald AM distributor. & there are certain other requirements. You need to be a priest (licensed minister of public worship Roman Kathurlick style). ... read full story / add a comment

Father Alex Ried (one of the two Clergymen who wittnessed the recent IRA decomissioning) angered Unuionists during a heated public debate in south Belfast when he drew parallells between the Unuionist treatment of nationalists and the treatment of The Jews by Nazis during the second World War. Fr Ried made the comments when his integrity as a wittness was questioned by certin members of the audience. He stated: : "The reality is that the nationalist community in Northern Ireland were treated almost like animals by the unionist community. They were not treated like human beings. It was like the Nazis treatment of the Jews." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/4337068.stm ... read full story / add a comment

The Industrial Relations debate in Australia is noted by the lack of involvement of those most affected – the entire working population of the nation! We witness various politicians, churchmen, union officials arguing the issues but we do not witness a mobilisation of the workforce ending the argument one way or the other. It is the workforce that must determine its own course or be led by slimy politicians and corporate bosses. ... read full story / add a comment

By now many of you will seen a copy of the two "free newspapers" launched this morning in Dubiln. & you will be aware of the court wranglings which led to the change of name of the Herald AM. "Metro" was originally launched 10 years ago, in Sweden but its name has been copied wherever people have underground trains. & in the case of Dublin - "double decker omnibuses". its main international rival "20 minutes" was launched in Switzerland and Germany in 1999. They dominate a global readership (concentrated in Europe) of 14.5 million commuters. And it is estimated produce 21million copies daily, and the advertising executives will tell you that means 2 readers for every copy. _______________________________________ ... read full story / add a comment

The tragic element (for the entire world) is not that Bush is delusional, mentally unstable and intellectually challenged – that is well known. Rather, it is that he remains as commander in chief of the USA – placed in that position by commercial and other financial interests. The result for the world is war and innocent lives lost in favour of the accumulation of wealth for the few. That is the tragedy for the world, a tragedy of monumental proportions. ... read full story / add a comment
