The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Uribe makes Trimble look like a Palestinian.Next they'll be putting a chip in Sharon and appointing him to investigate cast Lead.
Ay, Trimble only criticises human rights defenders and verbally attacks them, he doesn't murder stacks of them before doing so (unless there's a large unmarked grave somewhere near Lough Neagh we haven't heard of).
Anyway, for more info on this, we've written an article for electronic intifada: http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article11449.shtml
"In his defence of David Trimble as a more acceptable choice for the zionist commission, David L seems to be implying that Colombia's Uribe has personally murdered stacks of oppositionists and buried their bodies in unmarked graves .That could be the case of course , but David L would really need to show some evidence for it. "
The only dictator I am aware of that actually killed his enemies with his own hands was Papa Doc Duvalier in Haiti, other than that they all operate through thugs. But it is rather cynical to say that because they did not kill with their own hands they are clean or any less responsible. Intellectual criminals are as responsible as the material muerderers, something that became an issue on the sentence against Fujimori in Perú, that has Uribe wiggleing like jelly.
Now, here you have some bad examples of Uribe in action:
1. In a public conference he ordered the execution of some notorious drug dealer whom he was related to at some point (Uribe was a good friend of the Ochoa family and Pablo Escobar from the Medellin Cartel) but he fell off with him at some point http://www.elespectador.com/noticias/politica/articulo-...igado In case you can't read Spanish the order given in public to the officer was "you disappear them, on my behalf".
2. Uribe as the governor of Antioquia was the founder of the Convivir, a death squad, a real murdering machine that killed over 15,000 peasants in the period 1998-2002 (just before he came to power) http://www.verdadabierta.com/nunca-mas/40-masacres/436-...oquia
3. After the massacre of El Aro, Uribe himself went to give his thanks for getting rid the locality of reds to the local paramilitary leader http://www.elespectador.com/articulo89983-paramilitar-i...l-aro
You can also check on this http://www.colectivodeabogados.org/Alvaro-Uribe-Velez-y...re-de and wikipedia has a not so great entry, but with some information available in your language (which I assume is English) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Aro_massacre
4. Now, the mass grave of La Macarena (referrences in EI article in link above) was the direct result of Urbe's consolidation policies in Meta.
Indeed, Uribe has turned Colombia into the second country when it comes to forced displacement (nearly 5 million people), over 600 trade unionists have been killed during his years of government and ALL of his circle is linked to right wing death squads (with 193 representatives in trial for financing the murder of opposition members).
I don't know why being so picky about calling the bastard a murderer...
