Do you think that in twenty five years time we will have forgotten the attack on the WTC? Of course not! But western media has managed to forget the twenty-fifth anniversary of a comparable crime!

Cast your mind back to early 2003. Do you remember the 'Ricin Plot' in London? Do you remember how Colin Powell conflated this with Iraq and used it to justify the invasion of that country. Well, the only problem is that there never was any ricin involved in the 'Ricin Plot'! Read More

A fairly senior British officer has written a none too complimentary piece about the effectiveness of the US Army in the latest edition of the magazine Military Review, published by the U.S. Army. This will proably have the wingnuts baying for his blood. However, you have to admire the U.S. Army for wanting to publish it.

The story is available in The Guardian, The Independent and via Reuters UK. Read More

sings to seals and talks to plants and wishes he was his wife's tampon.

According to the UK Observer, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have cancelled their plan to visit New Orleans, because the "White House questioned whether the Prince's presence in New Orleans would contrast unfavourably with the President's failure to respond in good time".

It continues:

'They thought - rightly - that compared to Charles and Camilla, who are so good at expressing concern, the President would look even more unconvincing,' said the source.

Tucked away at the end of an article from the London Times, is a comment from Professor Michael Clarke, of King's College London, who is director of the International Policy Institute.

'Ironically, the most readily available sources of accurate online information on bomb-making are the websites of the radical American militia. "I have not seen any Al-Qaeda manuals that look like genuine terrorist training," claims Clarke.

Perhaps to progress the global war on terror (or whatever it is called these days) the UK should invade the USA to take out these terrorist bases since it appears that the present regime in Washington is prepared to protect them.

The UK Independent and UK Guardian both have accounts of leaks from the Italian interrogation of the July 21st bomber captured in Rome.
'A suspected member of the 21 July bomb cell has told investigators he was motivated by the Iraq war, not religion.'
......
'The suspected would-be bomber is reported to have denied links to the cell that killed 52 people two weeks earlier. But that outrage acted as a "signal" for the second gang to launch its own attack.'
......
'He told investigators the cell was surprised by the 7 July bombs. "We have no link with the Pakistanis," he said. However, his group took the 7 July carnage as a signal that it should also act.

According to another report, from the Ansa Italian news agency, Hussain said: "We had to do something. We had to react to the climate of hatred and hostility that was created after the 7 July bombs. We were not supposed to kill anyone. That bomb would not have been able to cause victims."'

While reading the article about George F. Kennan's death in the LA Times, I came across this paragraph:
Kennan argued that the Soviets dismissed and held in contempt the idea that international agreements must be respected or given the stature of law. Josef Stalin and his negotiators, he believed, would invariably seek to turn all negotiations and treaties to their advantage and were unlikely to honor past agreements if they felt such treaties were not in their best interests.

According to a joint investigation by BBC's Newnight and Harper's Magazine, the planning for war and the future of Iraq's oil began in the early days of the first Bush administration. The trouble was that there were two plans. One from the State Department which involved a coup d'etat to remove Saddam Hussein followed the setting up of a state-controlled oil company to ensure that American 'Big oil' got the best deal. The second from the neo-cons in the Pentagon, which involved a massive privatization of Iraqi oil resources, was aimed at breaking OPEC by dramatically increasing oil production to bring down prices.

According to the New York Times, the Bush regime wants to amend the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Most normal people would think that if you wanted to change an international treaty, you would have to re-negotiate. However, the Bush regime has decided on a novel approach which means that they going to try "to rewrite, in effect, the main treaty governing the spread of nuclear technology, without actually renegotiating it."
