This morning I bought the Irish Times and got a headache. Two things caused deep annoyance;
and they are related: the State will pursue one of our best Heritage campaigners for
500,000 Euros costs and a letter in the Letter's Page talks of Cregganbaun and Killary
in relation to Eamon Ryan's granting of licences to prospectors for gold.Killary Harbour
is a Fjord, it provided a place for Wittgenstein to think and its got a quality of silence

The New York Times has run a story which immediately has been taken up globally on the destruction of video tapes by the CIA of an interrogation despite those tapes being potential evidence in Congressional inquiry, hearings or other such grand jury activity.

Thus, we see the issue of torture, CIA use of extreme interrogation techinques & the Bush regime allowance of said placed on the table of forthcoming review of that agency & the other 15 intelligence services of the USA during the next presidency.

But for the moment it's just a story about "Al Qaeda" suspect Abu Zubaydah being subjected to the notorious water boarding data extraction sicko kicks of the CIA in 2002. read full story / add a comment

Here is a statement from the Worker-comunist Party of Iran which outlines the reality that the people of Iran face: a struggle against both US Imperialism and the Iranian Dictatorship.

The threat of a US attack and the devastating consequences of economic sanctions are looming over the people of Iran. US’s war with the Islamic Republic is not the war of the people. People of Iran and their interests are not represented in this conflict. They want neither the Islamic Republic, nor a military attack, nor economic sanctions. For years, they have been fighting the Islamic Republic and the unbearable conditions that this ultra-reactionary regime has imposed on society.

This brutal judical murder of a young man whose only crime was to be gay is further proof that Iran is ruled by a Fascist Dictatorship.

The news has just reached us. Makwan was executed last night (local time) in Dizel Abad Prison in the city of Kermanshah. Makwan's family have just collected his body and are on their way to the city of Paveh. Around 200 cars are following in procession the car carrying the body of a youngster murdered in cold blood by a bunch of criminal thugs.

This crime must be recorded in history. Not only that the criminals in power in Iran must be indicted through international courts. Makwan had not committed any crime. He was executed for a sexual relation with a class mate when they were both 13. He was executed for homosexuality.

Usually around this time of year, us grunts still on active service duty for Indymedia Ireland, spend a week or so trawling the archive with our virtual nets. Sometimes we return with a catch of material that we format into a review of the year. And other times - like last year - short-staffed and burnt out, we simply aren't up to the effort. read full story / add a comment
