In Cambridge

For those reading this on the national site, it's Magdelene College in Cambridge in case you were wondering.

And don't forget that, not only is Lehman a warmonger, but GKN who are sponsoring the lecture are a not-insignificant arms manufacturer... How's that for symbiosis? Arms company promotes warmonger so he can encourage people to buy more arms -- sound familiar?

Previous GKN lectures have been the cause of significant protest, with many feeling that the merchants of death have no place in an academic institution such as Cambridge University. Make this big, and maybe it will be the last one!

Just be careful

According to US authorities "Maintaining contacts in Europe, the Middle East, Pakistan, Iran, Yemen, Iraq, Malaysia and Afghanistan" and "Sharing religious and extremist ideals" are now terrorist crimes.

Try and be surprised, I dare you.

Thanks to David Blunkett's secretly negotiated extradition treaty with the US. It was never approved by Parliament, not that the bunch of carreer ladder climbing party line towing 'representatives' would have said 'no'.

"Prima facie evidence will no longer have to be put before the courts in US-UK extradition cases."
