American Justice: Hicks Tortured, Rumsfeld Exonerated!

29-03-2007 17:20 | Analysis | Other Press | Terror War | World

The now infamous Donald Rumsfeld has avoided legal responsibility for the extremely controversial ruling he made in December 2002, which effectively allowed the U.S. military to utilise torture methods against their perceived or imagined enemies. An American court ruled that Rumsfeld had no case to answer due principally to the fact that as Secretary of Defence he was IMMUNE from the charges! One Law for you and another for me! If the public ever wondered why Bush, Blair and Howard appear unconcerned over the prospect of war crimes charges, perhaps the Rumsfeld decision sheds some light on the matter.

29-03-2007 07:27 | Oxford | World

THE FUTURE OF BOMBING: General David Petraeus, Commander of the Multinational Force Iraq, continues the proud Military tradition of launching air strikes on areas populated by civilians.(In 1920, the British dropped 97 tons of bombs on Iraq, killing 9000 Iraqis).

Introducing Palestine, Peace Not Apartheid

28-03-2007 07:30 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Palestine | World

A new red herring has been cleverly introduced into the discourse space, albeit enlarging it somewhat, but not sufficiently for me to waste my time chasing down yet another distinguished red herring.
