Just received word that Bertie Ahern may be holding a press conference at 12.30pm today. It appears that a rumour is doing the rounds that cleaning staff at Shannon airport have seen a man in shackles aboard a US aircraft. This is sketchy information and it's unclear what, if anything, might emerge. A case of watch this space, methinks. read full story / add a comment

A civil Servant on behalf of the Department of Education and Science, yesterday attended the Ryan commission on Child Abuse ,(previously the Laffoy Commisssion on Child Abuse- 1999-2003) to apologise to the victims of Church/State disregard for the health and well-being of generations of industrial school children. Whilst applauding the attempt to recitfy the deep wrongs of the Era through apology , it has come three years too late. The State continues to deny its role in the obstruction of the work of the Laffoy Committee, not has it exposed the machinations of the dept of education and Science headed up by Michael Woods that signed the Church/ State indemnity deal which absolved the Church from paying full compensation to victims. read full story / add a comment

When the American Civil War (1861-65) broke out, James Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald was galvanised and plunged 40 reporters into the fray with instructions to bring back the news first. Some editors went along themselves – notably Henry Raymond of The New York Times. The London Times had already despatched William Russell – an Irish war correspondent – who had already sent in reports from a previous conflict. Reports from the Crimean War included his byline.1 read full story / add a comment

Peace hopes dim with Occupiers stance In an article that's headline reads "Peace hopes dim with al-Qaeda stance" Michael Georgy in the Irish Times reports that Al-Qaeda's promise to continue attacks means that although "Iraqi leaders and their closest ally US president George W Bush welcomed Zarqawi's death," "no one expects violence to ease." There are a few niggling problems with this sort of framing of the war. Firstly, I doubt Al-Qaeda's response to the killing of Zarqawi was ever going to be anything less than violent. In fact it would have been justified to predict attacks would increase significantly in the short term. Secondly, there is obviously something slightly 'suspicious' about Iraqi leaders having military occupiers as their closest allies. Thirdly, predicting violence will not subside suggests that Al-Qeada are the controlling factor of violence in Iraq. This is not the case, the majority of Iraq's resistance is home grown, and attacks are primarily directed against foreign troops and increasingly towards Iraqi police and military who are seen to be in collusion with the occupiers. read full story / add a comment

Professor Noam Chomsky casts a cold eye on world affairs, the Danish cartoon issue, Iran and the war in Iraq, and the dangers of living in a nuclear age. The anti-war critic, Noam Chomsky, recently said the Danish cartoon issue wasn’t a matter of press freedom, nor indeed a conflict between the West and the Islamic world, but an attack, by and large, by the Danish government on the Muslim minority living in Denmark. He was giving an exclusive report to myself when I was working with Griffith College radio recently. read full story / add a comment

And figures reveal up to 3,000 soldiers have deserted the British Army since March 2003 amid reports of growing numbers were “questioning the morality and legality of the occupation.” To counteract this, the British parliament -that bastion of democracy - have passed a Bill -Section 8 of the Armed Forces 2006 where those refusing to take part in the military occupation may now be sentenced to life imprisonment. According to the report: The bill directly contravenes principles outlined at the Nuremberg Trials in 1950, which enshrined in law the responsibility of individuals to refuse to obey illegal and immoral orders from any superiors. The Fourth Nuremberg Principle states, “The fact that a person acted pursuant to an order of his government or of a superior does not relieve him of responsibility under international law, providing a moral choice was in fact open to him.” read full story / add a comment

"To subvert the tyranny of our execrable government, to break the connection with England, the never-failing source of all our political evils and to assert the independence of my country- these were my objectives. To unite the whole people of Ireland, to abolish the memory of all past dissensions, and to substitute the common name of Irishman in place of the denominations of Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter - these were my means." -Theobald Wolfe Tone Republicans' from he 32 Counties and abroad gather to honour Tone. read full story / add a comment

It’s not difficult to arrive at an accurate assessment of the present Oz leadership, the government of John Howard. Love Howard or not, he has the local population eating his lies like it was manna from heaven. Howard’s treasurer recently announced that the Oz government was out of debt, in view of a national foreign debt of $493 billion, the highest ever recorded by an astronomical ‘mile’, the announcement of no government debt becomes meaningless double-talk. But which figure does the public prefer to embrace? The lie of course, it’s far more comforting – the media’s emphasis on the treasurer’s remarks at the expense of the horrendous crippling debt is not unintentional. read full story / add a comment
