Royal Commission into prisons and detention centers
Well our prisons and institutions have all fallen by the wayside so why not have a Royal Commission into prisons and detention centers? Seen as how the punishment appears to be the same even for an alleged terrorist who can be treated like the worst of the worst criminals, regardless if any case has been made against them in a court of law.

Challenging Entangled Hegemonies

17-07-2005 23:36

The first years of the new millennium witness deep and ever deepening geopolitical, socio-economic, and cultural tensions and divisions among, and within, the states of Central and Eastern Europe. The ”eastern enlargement” of the European Union is (re)drawing old and new dividing lines across Eastern Europe. Tensions between the United States and the EU continue to be displayed in the region, with Russian and Post-Soviet regional power politics, and NATO strategies for the new millennium as additional factors.

British bombs and the 'Zero option'. - take 2

17-07-2005 10:21

During the ten years I worked in the Middle east too, I often heard people speak about the 'Zero option': Palestinians and others that sometimes were trained in - what they thought were 'Jihad camps' - and got hand grenades or bombs with timers to execute attacks.
