Anger at sailors selling stories forces government U-turn

12-04-2007 11:17

The decision to allow 2 of the 15 sailors captured by Iran to sell their stories to the media has backfired—spectacularly and deservedly. Near-universal criticism forced Defence Secretary Des Browne just 24 hours later to announce a resumption of the ban on serving personnel accepting money for interviews. A review of the regulations was also promised by Second Sea Lord Vice-Admiral Adrian Johns, who, together with Browne, is accepting responsibility for taking the decision.

DJ ARBUTHNOT: Horseshit Road, Westminster Maggots Courts

12-04-2007 11:11

I cordially invite the public to come witness the antics of several very bent judges and the political trials of peaceful individuals.

It will be up to the courts to determine whether that act is a serious organised crime and whether I was participating in a "demonstration". Somehow reminds me of Mark Wallinger and his State Britain installation with regards to Mr. Brian W. Haw and his illegally seized artworks i.e. 3 Banksy's amongst gifts of art from around the globe, from all nations - an installation of evidence of genocide and torture, an exhibition of peace and love.

12-04-2007 08:30

It is now a well-known fact that U.S. special operation forces in Iraq have been given the task of kidnapping Iranian members of the diplomatic corps of individuals in Iraq and the countries where U.S. intelligence agents operate freely.

What a respect for human rights! Where are the human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, to expose and condemn Washington’s routine practice of human rights violations?

"Human beings are social animals. They depend on others. Their family, or extended family, is the group on which many people most heavily depend, socially, emotionally and often financially. There comes a point at which, for some, prolonged and unavoidable separation from this group seriously inhibits their ability to live full and fulfilling lives. Lord Bingham
