The Shadows of Hague

Here is something to think about. BBC notes that it has been a “black week for the UN tribunal authorities in the Hague” and that the recent “death” and “suicide” will “tarnish the reputation of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) and undermine confidence in war crimes justice generally.”
Now, as for the usual suspect, [...]

Madrid bombers not tied to al-Qaida

Another flimsy terror gambit officially bites the dust. At the very least we have been lied to and the planners were in fact homegrown. But worse still, as Kurt Nimmo argues, like the bombings in London and indeed 9/11, the trail leads right back to respective government which is either terribly helpful to so called [...]

US soldier’s rape sentence cut due to Iraq stress

Apparently having been on tour in Iraq is now “extenuating circumstances.” Apparently it had “made him less sensitive to the suffering of others.” The sentence was thus reduced from eight years to five years and eight months.
[James Michael] Brown beat and handcuffed the woman, a Nigerian resident in the town of Vicenza. He raped her [...]

‘Road to Guantanamo’ actors almost got the grand tour

Craig Murray revealed already last week that the British actors of the upcoming Road to Guantanamo were apprehended when returning to the UK from a film festival abroad.

French domestic intelligence targets Islamic converts

Because apparently they’re dangerous. Terrorism experts note that they “have added operational benefits in very tight security situations” without pondering the credibility or likelihood of the threat, just moving right along to the next “logical” conclusion.
CSM - Mary Fallot looks as unlike a terrorist suspect as one could possibly imagine: a petite and demure white [...]

The indispensable Craig Murray

Craig Murray, Britain’s former ambassador to Uzbekistan and torture whistleblower has ignored the Foreign Office ban and released several full-text documents relating to his experiences there. It seems clear that Britain knowingly supported the policies of the Uzbek government, and extracted more or less useless information from the deal, despite claiming not to. It matters [...]

Britain’s secret torture centre

An interesting read for those who still believe that the Allies were above the brutality now only attributed to German secret police and concentration camps.
Guardian - Despite the six years of bitter fighting which lay behind him, James Morgan-Jones, a major in the Royal Artillery, could not have been more specific about the spectacle in [...]

Spreading the terror myth

The circus touched upon Sweden earlier this week as a citizen was apprehended by the Czech authorities as his plane made a stop in Prague on its way from Stockholm to Beirut. Perhaps due to the focus that the rendition business has been getting lately, the 39 year old man was not put on the [...]
