Doctors: Medical evidence does not support suicide by Kelly

14-02-2004 01:13

Since three of us wrote our letter to the Guardian on January 27, questioning whether Dr Kelly's death was suicide, we have received professional support for our view from vascular surgeon Martin Birnstingl, pathologist Dr Peter Fletcher, and consultant in public health Dr Andrew Rouse. We all agree that it is highly improbable that the primary cause of Dr Kelly's death was haemorrhage from transection of a single ulnar artery, as stated by Brian Hutton in his report.

The campaign to save the Stonehenge of the North

13-02-2004 22:15

The Late Neolithic monument complex at Thornborough, North Yorkshire, was possibly the most important sacred site in their day. Today they form part of the largest prehistoric sacred landscape in Britain. They have been called the Stonehenge of the north - comparable to Westminster, York and Canterbury Cathedrals - all placed in a single location! Yet here the ancient peoples built three henges - the only triple henge alignment in the world - part of the only six henge complex in the world. We are fighting to stop the landscape around these most important monuments from being quarried for gravel.

Bush the Deserter

13-02-2004 19:47

For a good laugh now however (never lose your sense of humor), go to the following link and see/hear Bush�s press secretary tap dance like a man on a frying pan. It is one of those rarest of times that the US media actually does its job and asks highly relevant questions.

James Petras on fighting Imperialism

13-02-2004 11:02

A timely article in light of recent machinations of what has been happening in the ESF organising process in the UK 9this article refers to that and the SWP's involvement). Excellent critique of Anti-war movement and their inability to take forward the politics of their opposition to the existing world order to it's logical conclusion - namely moving forward to an explicitly anti-imperialist critical analysis and politics.
taken from "FightRacism-FightImperialism" (Issue No.176 December 2003/January 2004)

James Petras' original paper can be found at the following website:  http://www.rebelion.org/petras/english/030926petras.pdf
