A senior United Nations representative on torture, Juan Mendez, issued a rare reprimand to the US government on Monday for failing to allow him to meet in private with Bradley Manning, the American soldier in solitary confinement, who is under investigation for the confidential data release to WikiLeaks. It is the kind of censure the UN normally reserves for authoritarian regimes around the world. (full story)

The Genitals or the Box-Cutters - that is the Question for America’s TSA posted by baz, 2011-03-03 00:02:38
TSA personnel -- who clearly require psychological testing and competence training -- have no problems fondling the genitals of strangers who refuse deadly, airport X-Ray scans, BUT they FAIL in their PRIMARY TASK of detecting weapons in hand luggage! I mean, this level of incompetence is even beyond that of personnel that walk the corridors of the White House and the Pentagon.
How many civilians have we murdered in illegal [Corporate] wars today, Barack? (full story)

Rape Victim Arrested after Refusing TSA Intrusive 'pat down' posted by Jim Bergamo via stan, 2010-12-24 22:03:34
Early Wednesday morning, a computer glitch shut down a security checkpoint for a couple of hours at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The line snaked out the door as many travelers waited for more than an hour and some missed their flights. One of the first people in line after that shutdown never made it through. She was arrested and banned from the airport. (full story)

 US Vice-President Biden echoes Sarah Palin’s accusation of Assange posted by styx, 2010-12-19 23:04:15
Yessiree Bob, no surprises from good ol’ America. The vacuum-headed former governor of Alaska, Sarah ‘suck my cock’ Palin, has found herself an unlikely supporter in her war against reason, rationality and sanity. Her inane comment that Julian Assange of WikiLeaks should be deemed a terrorist and hunted down has gained support from the Obama (corporate) proxy administration. The latest comment to issue from the continental insane asylum, called America – from the Vice-President no less – is that Julian Assange should be regarded as a “high-tech terrorist” and hunted down for revealing incontestable proof that America is the world’s leading civilian killing, THEREFORE OVERTLY TERRORIST nation. The American administration is really beginning to grate on the collective reason, rationality and sanity of the international community. (full story and 1 comments)

 Spare a thought for Bradley -- the slow and Insidious Torture of Private Manning posted by snowy, 2010-12-16 21:44:03
With all the fanfare and media flurry surrounding the colourful, mysterious and clearly captivating character of Julian Assange, very few people are sensitive to the plight of Private Bradley Manning, the alleged leaker of secret files to WikiLeaks. We would remind Mr Assange that he has a responsibility to Bradley Manning; we therefore request that he directs as much attention to the plight of Private Manning as possible.

The Inversion is Complete posted by dasha, 2010-11-25 19:56:20

 Universal Declaration of Human Rights posted by Liberty, 2010-11-05 08:42:08
So few people are aware of their inalienable rights these days we thought we would publish them here and allow every reader to determine for themselves the identity of the nation today that flagrantly ignores the sanctity and preciousness of human life. The civilian killing tactics (drone warfare) of the USA breaches numerous Articles, leaving no doubt as to its terrorist status. Read, learn and hold the culpable accountable. These rights are enshrined in Law and make a mockery of the biased Hague Courts. The articles should be read to any court that pretends to deliver justice or ignores the crimes of known terrorist States.
We are ONE

 God’s chosen Terrorists! posted by finch, 2010-06-05 22:00:48
Israel’s forced boarding and seizure of the MV Rachel Corrie in international waters yesterday highlights what many commentators are loath to mention and others are at pains to hide; the cultural consciousness/basis behind which the inhuman actions of Israel toward non-Jews are realised.

China, Russia and the MV Rachel Corrie posted by baz, 2010-06-03 21:27:40
Take your place on the world stage; an opportunity goes begging to fight and win; leverage a hugely popular cause; demonstrate your relevance in world affairs and offer a NAVAL ESCORT for the MV Rachel Corrie on her humanitarian mission to Gaza. Make perfectly clear to the world which two nations -- USA and ISRAEL -- terrorise humanity and arrogantly flout international law and convention by making a Nazi concentration camp of the Gaza strip!

Gaza: when world leaders become irrelevant posted by stylus, 2010-06-02 07:59:17
We are heartened that divergent groups of brave, freedom loving people of conscience came together to form a multinational peace force to assist their fellow human beings in distress – the highest ideal of civilised humanity and the major religions has been realised by a humanitarian aid convoy sailing to relieve the long suffering people of Gaza. It seems the designs of a few sick Zionist minds to transform the new century into a permanent warring hell may have been thwarted. Peaceful resistance has been re-affirmed as the most powerful force for social change known to civilised society. [I need not remind readers which nations adhere to the ideology of ‘permanent war’ – this past decade bears horrific testimony to the carnage perpetrated on an unsuspecting world by ISRAEL and AMERICA.] (full story and 2 comments)
