Alternative uses for Tara tunnel system (if the NRA give up on destroying the Tara valley) :

Bertie Ahern could stash mooney in the tunnels for a while, until he gets his bank accounts sorted. Dermot Ahern could be looking up the trees.

Storage of E-voting machines

Carbon Capture

Place for the Labour Party to dump the weapons they inherited from the Workers Party

Westlife CD's could be buried in the tunnels

Paintballing dungeons and dragons style

Underground electricity cables

natural gas pipeline

Westlife could be buried there

(that's enough uses for Tara tunnels- Ed)

Here is an Amnesty International article on Parvin Ardalan and how she was prevented from leaving Iran.

Iranian feminist and journalist Parvin Ardalan was prevented from leaving Iran on Sunday to travel to Sweden where she was to receive the 2007 Olof Palme Prize in Stockholm. She said that after she boarded a plane at Tehran airport she was told that she was not permitted to leave the country. "They took my passport and said I could get it back after 72 hours," she said. "The only reason for this move is to prevent me from taking part in the ceremony."

'The problem for the senior vice-president of technology at Phorm, an Aim-listed company which recently tied up a deal with the UK's three biggest internet service providers - BT, Virgin Media and TalkTalk, who between them have more than 10 million customers - is that it's not the privacy groups who he really needs to convince. It's the millions of people whose services will be affected by Phorm's scheme, because some are up in arms over what they see as an invasion of their privacy through Phorm's intention to categorise all of their web-surfing habits in order to target online ads at them.' read full story / add a comment

3 Labour activists were flogged in Sanandaj and 8 others are to be flogged for taking part in a May Day rally! The Islamic Republic has taken another step against the working class and all the people in Iran. Their aim is to silence, crush and dehumanize. Its what the slave driver did 20 centuries ago. This time, however, they are dealing with a working class that has no intention of submitting; a working class whose struggles and leaders are known to the whole world.

·Official figures say, in the past 10 months,1 million women have been arrested, fined and/or flogged for not being dressed as demanded by the Islamic government and for courtship with the opposite sex; read full story / add a comment
