The most stunning revelation in a 370-page Justice US Department Inspector General’s report released this week was that agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation had formally opened a “War Crimes” file, documenting torture they had witnessed at the Guantánamo Bay US prison camp, before being ordered by the administration to stop writing their reports.

Will General Petraeus betray us?

23-05-2008 14:47 | Analysis | Iraq | Terror War | World

General David Petraeus
We've all heard of the US 'Defcon' system of war readiness. But what about here in the UK, do we have a similar system or just do what the US tell us to? Come to think of it are we citizen/subjects even allowed to know what defence condition we are at? Is it considered an official secret covered up in the interests of 'National Security'? With the new boy nut case Petraeus in charge of the US Military.......

Where Are Those Iranian Weapons in Iraq?

22-05-2008 20:03 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Iraq | World

"Bergner's refusal to address that question reflects a fundamental problem with the US claims about Iranian weapons in Iraq: if there are indeed any Iranian rockets and mortars, and RPGs in the Mahdi Army's arsenal of stand-off weapons, they represent an insignificant part of it.

Reports by the US command in Iraq over the past 15 months cited only a handful of Iranian weapons out of hundreds counted in caches found in Shiite areas. Nearly 700 mortars and rockets were reported by specific caliber size, along with a handful of RPGs, in nearly two dozen caches. Of that total, only four rockets were reported as being of Iranian origin, and another 15 were listed as possibly being Iranian."

Clive Stafford Smith: US Holding 27,000 in Secret Overseas Prisons

21-05-2008 09:12 | Iraq | Repression | Terror War | World

“There is a huge number of [secret prisoners] being held in Iraq, and one of the intriguing aspects of this that doesn’t get much reporting is that the US is bringing people into Iraq from elsewhere to hold them there, simply because that keeps [the media and lawyers] away from the prisoners so they can’t get any sort of legal rights,” reports British attorney Clive Stafford Smith.

18-05-2008 16:57 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Terror War | World

The following is testimony presented to Congress by Kristofer Shawn Goldsmith on May 15, 2008. While there were several powerful testimonies by several Iraq veterans, all worth watching [1], this one in particular provides a taste of what is actually happening in Iraq, and what soldiers of conscience face upon their return home.

The delegates to the Church of Scotland's general assembly gathered on 15 May were urged to support a resolution that calls on Britain and the United States to take no further action that could lead to an invasion of Iran.

"We will strongly urge the British government to do everything in its power to discourage the American government from undertaking any form of military strike against Iran. And if the Americans ignore that advice, then Britain must make clear its strong opposition for such a move" said Morag Mylne, convenor of the Church and Society Council of the Scottish Presbyterian church.

Heavy bombardment on Sadr city despite ceasefire

11-05-2008 17:02 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Iraq | World

"Imperial USA never tells the truth. Just ask a native American what the white men said and what did they do? They never tell the truth. A lie is always appropriate if it will further their selfish, greedy ends. They knew no shame then. They know none now. Only a complete fool would believe otherwise."
