Lorna Siggins in the Irish Times reports that Bord Pleanála has asked for extensive further information from Shell about their plan to install a production pipeline linking the offshore Corrib gas field with the refinery they are trying to build nine kilometres inland. Many people fear that the planning procedure will be a simple "rubber stamp" exercise, since the original planning decision that the project was unsuitable for the area was overturned by the planning board on appeal. Since then, Shell has been supported at every step by all arms of the government, despite the fact that the project clearly lacks local consent. read full story / add a comment

Lawyer for British resident held captive at Guantánamo Bay writes to Taoiseach Brian Cowen for information on transit through Shannon Airport of planes and personnel involved in the kidnap and torture. On 22 July 2002, CIA crew landed in Shannon on the well-known rendition jet, N379P, having – the previous day – rendered Binyam from Pakistan to Morocco where he faced 18 months of torture. On January 16 2004 CIA crew, this time in N313P, stopped in Shannon en route to rendering Binyam Mohamed from Rabat to the notorious ‘Dark Prison’ in Kabul. The crew then went on to render another man, German citizen Khaled el Masri before returning to Washington on 28 January 2004. (Eventually released because the US admitted he was wrong guy.) http://www.reprieve.org.uk/documents/2008_07_28Irishpre...2.pdf read full story / add a comment

On his recent visit to Jordan Israel and Ramallah US presidential candidate Obama Barrack insisted that nobody in his party should wear green because of the colour’s association with Islam and Hamas. At a June campaign rally in Detroit two women wearing headscarves were told to leave the area behind the podium where Obama was speaking from so as to prevent them being framed in the same shot by cameras covering the event. A Counterpunch article by Rannie Amiri on how Barrack Obama has moved from being a victim to a perpetuator of Islamophobia. read full story / add a comment

The Guardian reports it here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/29/wto.eu It didn't require the Irish Government to use their veto as the farmers have been demanding! Larger forces were at work. China and india don't want to be flooded by cheap food imports from the US. In other words they want to maintain their own small scale agriculture and their own food security. This is spelt out by Mandelson in his blog. Walden Bello of Focus on The Global South, and a noted ongoing critic of the WTO and neo-liberalism more generally, sees the re-localisation of agriculture (that such a collapse may make possible) as central to the mitigation of climate change. Extracts from and links to both below. read full story / add a comment

Can it get anymore fun? The Right is turning the screws at every scrap of economic information coming out, ignoring the fact that it is their policies that have landed us in this mess. So the Recession Diaries continues – with comments, critiques and a few proposals. read full story / add a comment

A group of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) are planning to start up a GI coffeehouse near the entrance of the Fort Lewis military base in Washington State. Though the project is still in its planning stages, the idea is that it will be a center for supporting GI rights and war resistance in the region, as well as a place for GIs to get coffee right off the base. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iOSDz6_iww Length - 5.50) read full story / add a comment

Ben Lewis argues that the threat to Iran from Imperialism is still very real. He also analyses developments within various anti-war groups. Full story at link. Within the context of Barack Obama attempting to prove himself a reliable statesman by dropping in on occupying forces in Iraq, and with Gordon Brown’s speech to the knesset underlining his readiness to “stand firmly by Israel’s side” and call for “further sanctions and isolation” if Iran does not halt its alleged nuclear weapons programme, it is quite clear that the Geneva talks have not reduced the threat of a military strike. Things are precariously balanced and even the slightest incident, accident or diplomatic faux pas could trigger another bout of destruction and slaughter. read full story / add a comment
