Civilian death toll to rise in Fallujah

The US led attack to occupy the Iraqi city of Fallujah will take time according to US terrorist Donald Rumsfeld but he said, "US-forces will see it through to the end. I think it's a tough business, and it's going to take time," he said.

Perhaps a little bit tougher Rumsfeld if you happen to live there?

Song...Deir Yassin

My sincere wish is that people, the world over, shall hear my song, Deir Yassin and be moved by it's message of hope for the Palestinian people.

None of the groups that I have contacted have ever gotten back to me, so I guess my song sucks!!!

Amongst other things it constitutes an opportunistic political attack on academic standards. Read more >>

GYPSIES FACE EVICTION

Gypsies are facing eviction from their own land this week,
despite an all-party commission's recommendation today
(8 Nov) that a duty be placed on local authorities to provide
spaces for caravan parks.
Families at Twin Oaks, Ridge, near South Mimms are now

Siblings say Milat innocent

Instead he was not only denied legal assistance but he was thwarted, isolated, and traumatised, by the government to prevent any form of appeal by him that would be able to reach the High Court.

Dear Michael Moore,

Dear Michael Moore,
I am writing you this “open letter” in friendship and solidarity. You are famous, rich and powerful. I am none of the above. But we both belong to the anti war movement and both are working to contribute to a better and more just world. I have recently read your last two posts in your website. Read more >>

State of emergency: Allawi 'killer of saints'

Allawi's order supposedly sustains the illusionary propaganda for some in the International Community (with rose coloured glasses). Who apparently are supposed to see this decision coming from an interim Iraqi Government perspective? However in reality it's clearly giving the US occupiers some illusionary "legitimate" right to impose curfews set up checkpoints, and search and detain subjects, preceding an "invasion" on any resistance.
