pictures from Saturday, Dublin, Mayday, anarchist block

A weekend of protest took place in Dublin around Mayday, co-inciding with the official ceremony to celebrate the expansion of the European Union and to "welcome" the new European Union memberstates, most of them from Eastern Europe.
On Saturday evening a demonstration marched into the direction of the "red zone" to express dissent with the expansion of "fortress europe" and with globalisation of trade, but with non-regards towards the people. Read more >>

The Real Butchers of Baghdad: G. W. Bush and His Army of Mercenaries

The Bush administration is feigning shock and disgust over the revelations of systematic torture of Iraqi prisoners. But there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the White House was fully aware that such crimes were being committed and by whom. Not only that, they continually took steps to cover their own butts should the matter ever come up - like refusing to sign onto the International Court and declaring an instant end to the war in May 2003 to circumvent the Geneva Convention. Among the mercenaries being trained in the US and deployed to Iraq, some on the Pentagon payroll, are former commandos from the brutal Pinochet regime and "enforcers" from South Africa's former Aparthied regime."
