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

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

Shell's Hi-tech Pipeline Scheme in Rossport

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?
