The UK Guardian is reporting that Shell along with its Spanish amigo, Repsol, have signed a $10 "initial" deal with the Iranians to develop a liquefied natural gas project centred on the South Pars gas field : "The move is a bold one by Shell because its arch-rival BP has declared itself unwilling to invest in Iran at a time when the international political climate surrounding the country is so forbidding ... Washington has increased pressure on non-US companies in the past year not to invest in Iran and some analysts believe it could be hard for oil companies to maintain operations in both Iran and the United States, where Shell and its Spanish partner Repsol both have fields". read full story / add a comment

This is a very strange story. The relative casualties - seven coalition dead, 300 insurgents dead, suggests that a massacre took place. In the Irish Times it is stated that the Iraqi government originally claimed that the dead were Sunnis. I haven't managed to find an independent assessment of this story. If anyone can find one then please post a link here. pat c read full story / add a comment

A genocide is engulfing the people of Gaza while a silence engulfs its bystanders. "Some 1.4 million people, mostly children, are piled up in one of the most densely populated regions of the world, with no freedom of movement, no place to run and no space to hide," wrote the senior UN relief official, Jan Egeland, and Jan Eliasson, then Swedish foreign minister, in Le Figaro. They described people "living in a cage", cut off by land, sea and air, with no reliable power and little water and tortured by hunger and disease and incessant attacks by Israeli troops and planes. read full story / add a comment

Robert Drinan SJ, who was elected to the US Congress on an Anti-War ticket has died. Drinan was elected in 1970, after he beat longtime Democratic Rep. Philip J. Philbin. He became the first member of Congress to call for the impeachment of Richard Nixon for what Drinan viewed as the administration's undeclared war against Cambodia. Drinan was forced to step down from Congress due to pressure from the Vatican. Full text at link. pat c read full story / add a comment

According to the Independent (UK) : "Magistrates have jailed Lindis Percy, 64, after she failed to pay fines and court costs relating to a protest outside the United States Signal Intelligence Station, in Harrogate, North Yorkshire". The pensioner undertakes weekly vigils at the US intelligence station. She formed the Campaign for the Accountability of American Bases (CAAB) in 1992 and was sent to jail in March 2003, as the invasion of Iraq began. Though her protests have resulted in 12 prison sentences before, including a four-and-a-half-month spell in Holloway jail, Percy was adamant that she was not guilty of the crime that led to Friday's court appearance: wilful obstruction of the highway outside Menwith Hill, on 10 and 31 January last year. read full story / add a comment

Deja vu revisited ; Who amongst us, except those in wilful contemptible amnesia, can forget Lt Weiner's, 24th Panzer Division, powerful description of hell on earth in Stalingrad : " We have fought during fifteen days for a single house, with mortars, grenades, machine-guns and bayonets. Already by the third day fifty-four German corpses are strewn in the cellars, on the landings, and the staircases. The front is a corridor between burnt-out rooms; it is the thin ceiling between two floors. Help comes from neighbouring houses by fire escapes and chimneys. There is a ceaseless struggle from noon to night. From storey to storey, faces black with sweat, read full story / add a comment

The damage done by the Catholic Church need not be gone over again. The fact that this story headlined the Guardian this week is apposite. The esssential thing is that gay couples have the right to adopt and bring up a child. Mr Tony Blair is sympathetic to the stance of the church- offering an exemption to the church agencies. read full story / add a comment

In discussion with a member of the Rossport Five last autumn mention was made of the fact that he believed the government were planning to make a big, election-winning announcement about the discovery of oil off our shores in time to secure a resounding victory at the next election. A tiny item in today's Irish Daily Mirror might point to something in that direction too: read full story / add a comment |
