Irish Foreign Minister Dermot Ahern will seek assurances from Washington that US planes using Shannon airport have not been carrying CIA terror suspects when he meets with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday. Germany, Ireland and Switzerland have joined nearly a dozen European countries that are probing US spy agency flights for prisoners reportedly subjected to extra-judicial detention and possibly torture. "The Minister will seek assurances from Condoleezza Rice that Shannon was not used for the rendition of prisoners or anything of that nature," a spokesman for Mr Ahern said on Sunday. read full story / add a comment

In an analysis published last week, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern presents the high level of agreement expressed by Iraqi factions at the previous weekend's reconciliation conference in Cairo, in acknowledging the legitimacy of resistance, denouncing terrorism and demanding a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign forces. But he remains pessimistic about prospects that the Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal will take the hint, or that Condoleezza Rice will take any independent initiative within the State Department to press for withdrawal. Meanwhile, in news reports Wednesday, although Bush maintains the pretence that he will "settle for nothing less than complete victory" - a sure recipe for complete defeat - and insists that he will not be induced to announce a deadline for withdrawal, he has nevertheless declared an intention to "decrease our troop level in Iraq". read full story / add a comment

I have known Norman Kember for the past ten years. We have met through mutual nonviolent activism against the arms trade, nuclear weapons and opposing the various wars that unfolded while I was living in England ('96-'02)....on Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq. We are both faith based activists. Norman is a Baptist minister and active with the Baptist Peace Fellowship and Fellowship for Reconciliation. He is 74 years of age. He is a pacifist and a humble man. He is a father and a grandfather and now a hostage in Iraq. read full story / add a comment

After 3 1/2 years of activism - 3 of which have been spent on bail & in legal jeopardy - Dublin Catholic Worker defendants are taking 6 months off! The length of the legal process, absence form family & friends, limited resources have all taken their toll and demand that most of the defendants have to leave Dublin for a time. We'll be back at the beginning of June organizing around our third trial and in opposition to continued Irish participation in the U.S invasion of Iraq. We are hoping to keep our house going and are wondering if there are any sympathetic folks interested in renting in a shared house with an anti-war orientation and solidarity with the ploughshares defendants. If interested phone 087 918 4552. Today is the 25th anniversary of our founder Dorothy Day's death.... read full story / add a comment

The unoffical action and indeed the direct action taken by the SIPTU members on the two Irish Ferries Ships in Wales tonight should be commenended and supported wholeheartedly by the leadership of SIPTU and ICTU.Both leaderships should now publicly support in the strongest possible terms the action taken by the Irish Ferries workers without reserve. Surely now these workers must now be facing criminal proceedings by the managment and the owners of Irish Ferries?. While it is unfortunate and regrettable that the SIPTU members of Irish Ferries have been left with no other alternative but to resort to this desperate but principled and very admirable and brave stand, it must be causing the leadership and bueracracy of SIPTU an unwanted and untold headach of migraine proportions. The direct action that the Irish Ferries workers have taken has shown that the Industrial Relations Act of 1990 should never have been even contemplated nor considered read full story / add a comment
