    Is The FBI Entrapping Idiots? (& No, Timothy McVeigh Was No Idiot) By Ilana Mercer Wednesday, June 28, 2006 CNN reports that seven Miami-based men “concocted a plot to ‘kill all the devils we can,’ starting by blowing up Chicago’s Sears Tower, according to charges in a federal indictment revealed Friday.”
    It transpires that this information was elicited by an “FBI operative posing as a member of the terrorist network.”
    I watched the sister of one of the suspects enter “The (…)

    by Ewen MacAskill
    The Bush administration, heavily influence by the Christian right, is blocking key proposals for a new United Nations package to combat Aids worldwide over the next five years because of its opposition to the distribution of condoms and needle exchanges and references to prostitutes, drug addicts and homosexuals.
    The United States is being supported by many Muslim (…)

    By Ray Bennett
    A Ken Loach film about the British in Ireland always has the potential for controversy, but his historical drama "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" is unlikely to inflame passions on either side.
    Atmospheric but pedestrian, it is a retelling of the classic tragedy of all civil wars, from the U.S. to Vietnam to England, where brother is pitched against brother.
    The film looks handsomely authentic, and the familiar characters are engaging, but the story is predictable and (…)

    NEARLY 3,000 British soldiers have gone absent without leave every year since the start of the Iraq war, with more than 1,000 of them still missing, according to Ministry of Defence figures.
    The numbers evading capture by the Royal Military Police have risen sharply since the invasion of Iraq, giving rise to allegations that an increasing number of soldiers might be trying to avoid further tours to the conflict zone.
    The MoD denied there was any evidence that soldiers (…)

    IRAN TOP SECRET: EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG
    What if everything that you think that you know for certain about Iran is wrong? After 27 years of status quo, why do you believe that the Brits and the Yanks really want to get rid of the Islamic regime in Iran? Is it possible that the oft-stated slogan of “regime change in Iran” is cloaking a naked, 27-year-old status-quo truth? Is it possible that the British and American emperors are wearing no clothes?

    WE DON’T WANT BLAIR IN ROME
    In these days we have repeatedly asked the [Romano] Prodi government to abolish the obscene war parade of June 2. Why should the Holiday of the Republic be celebrated with lethal weapons and units of the occupation troops of Iraq and Afghanistan? Why not transform it into a holiday for everyone, eliminating the military presence? No answer: the parade has been confirmed.
    We have then asked the new president of the House, Bertinotti [Fausto Bertinotti, former (…)

    Today Tony Blair visited George Bush and the both took the podium in the Rose Garden.
    BLAIR: It exhilerates me to stand here in the Rose Garden, basked in the shining and enthralling sun of the United States. Irrefutably and indubitably I am humbled to stand in the vicinity of your Capitol and enunciate profound and deep admiration for your aspirations and objective paradigms which are specifically and demonstrably an integral and inseperable contribution to the essence of humanity, (…)
