Preempting the backlash Mark Dooley in the Sunday Independent preempts the opportunistic war critics in one of their rare moment of "I told you so": "Get used to hearing the name Haditha, a city in Iraq's Al Anbar province. Last November, a homemade bomb exploded beneath a US military vehicle as it patrolled the city. It killed a 20-year-old marine, Miguel Terrazas." ... read full story / add a comment

For many of us who participated in the solidarity struggled for freedom in East Timor, the scenes coming out of Dili are disturbing. For those of us who heard Horte push a pro-U.S. war on Iraq position in Dublin last year, we have been worried for a while!

s book would not attempt to be the definitive statement on Indymedia. Rather, it would be an overview of some of the triumphs and struggles of the network over the past five-and-a-half years. Its entries would range from dramatic, stream-of-thought, first-person pieces to more analytic chapters on the meaning of Indymedia. The book, while thoughtful, would avoid being overly academic and would be graphic/picture heavy. ... read full story / add a comment

We've gotten used to Shell's slick Public Relations, from John Egan to Andy Pyle, to that woman with the strange accent who was on "Questions and Answers", but we haven't heard anything from them yet about this story. To sum up, Shell have been carrying out work on their scheme illegally and without planning permission. Perhaps the PR people have run out of statements of regret, or apologies, or are just fed up with this continuing crazyness. Maybe even they are asking Andy Pyle whether it's really a good idea to install a dangerous experimental pipeline between the bottom of the Atlantic ocean and a giant refinery miles inland, through a special area of conservation. Does anyone why they won't go offshore? ... read full story / add a comment

America has been steadily reducing its active presence in the South Pacific over the past decade. Australia (the deputy sheriff) is expected to ‘step up to the plate’ and safeguard western interests in that region. Timor is the first test of deputy (dog) in the region and to date the deputy appears to be weakening at the knees. ... read full story / add a comment

Racially motivated attacks, including pipe bombs, bricks hurled through windows and assaults, have risen sharply in Northern Ireland, according to the latest police figures. Loyalist paramilitaries are believed to be behind a significant proportion of the reported incidents, which have doubled in the past two years. ... read full story / add a comment

"I find the attitude of the museum bizarre and nonsensical. "On the basis of the current 'reason' offered by the V&A of refusing to invite politicians, it would appear that if Che was alive, he would be barred from his own exhibition. The British establishment works in wondrous ways." Gerry Adams Che Guevara himself would have enjoyed the controversy. The Victoria and Albert Museum has decided that Gerry Adams, the Sinn Féin leader, should be removed from the guest list for next week's opening of its big exhibition on the "revolutionary and icon" because his attendance would not be "appropriate". The museum authorities felt that because there was a high-profile exhibition of 60s fashion opening simultaneously, with many models and fashion photographers due to attend, Mr Adams's presence would not be "relevant". So Jerry Hall is on the guest list - but not Gerry Adams. ... read full story / add a comment

If you’re looking at a report in the media, one of the first questions the experts say you should ask is “Who produced this report?” Depending on the answer to that question, your understanding of the report can change dramatically. For example, I came on a report about Sammy Wilson recently. It consisted of four pages, and inside the four pages I found ten photographs of Sammy: two on the first page, two on the second, two on the third, and four photographs on the last. Since it had the word ‘Westminster’ in its title and an image of the British House of Commons, I assumed the report had been produced by some source within Westminster – an all-party committee, perhaps - and I was mightily impressed. Ten photographs inside four pages! The East Antrim MP must have really made his House of Commons colleagues sit up to get that sort of attention. ... read full story / add a comment |
