'They knew I was a Catholic: I was an appropriate target' - Almost six weeks after a son of Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan was viciously attacked at a north Belfast interface, the young victim speaks to Irish News chief reporter Sharon O'Neill [Note: This story and the others - including a letter from me in the Irish News on July 24 - illustrate the way in which sectarianism, orangeism and unionism are interlinked. The brutal sectarian killing of Michael McIlveen, the vicious attack on Damien O'Loan, the Orange bonfire 'celebration' of the killing of McIlveen and the Orange Order banner remembering a UDA sectarian killer - all of these are part of the carnival of reaction which the state of Northern Ireland was created to promote and to sustain. Susan McKay’s piece shows the relationship between Ian Paisley’s bloody rhetoric and the bloody misdeeds of his followers (followers he, with consummate hypocrisy, will later distance himself from). The state of Northern Ireland is a failed state. It is Britain’s failed state. Tony Blair and George Bush justify massive violence, death, injury, torture and cruelty on peoples in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Northern Irish unionists, the biggest supporters of British violence overseas, inflict it at home also on ‘the enemy within’, who they identify on the basis of their Roman Catholic religion.

Below is a copied/pasted article from the Wayne Madsen Report website. U.S. military intelligence sources have told WMR that the artillery shell shown below being used by an Israel Defense Force member in Lebanon, is a type of dual and multi-use weapon the neocons falsely accused Saddam Hussein of possessing. Although the canister artillery shell is marketed as an anti-land mine fuel-air bomb, its payload can also include the chemicals used in thermobaric bombs, white phosphorous weapons, and chemical weapons. Thermobaric bombs contain polymer-bonded explosives or solid fuel-air explosives in their payloads. Thermobarics use a fuse munition unit (FMU) such as that seen on the nose of the Israeli artillery shell. The shell penetrates buildings, underground shelters, or tunnels, creating such a blast pressure that all the oxygen is sucked out from the spaces and the lungs of anyone who happens to be in proximity. Israel's use of such "vacuum" weapons has been reported from across Lebanon. read full story / add a comment

An article published in the Sunday Times last week recounted the ending of the mediation, when Peter Cassells wrote to the Rossport Five to say he could find no basis for a settlement between the consortium of multi-national companies who want to force a dangerous experimental pipeline through Rossport and the five men, who with their families, friends and supporters have campaigned for the gas from the Corrib field to be processed offshore. The article was broadly factual, while showed a tendency to look at the situation from the point of view of big business and government, which is of course to be expected form a newspaper like the ST. What was interesting was an editorial published in the same edition, which tried to present as fact a complete misrepresention of the controversial pipeline/refinery scheme,while attempting to smear the campaign against it as a local dispute which had been "hijacked' by Sinn Féin. Below are the letters sent in to counteract these views. read full story / add a comment
