"Above all, perhaps, the story [of the Irish Hospital's Sweepstake] underlines what journalism must continue to combat: censorship, state secrecy and the unwarranted power of an influential few." [Stephen Dodd writing in 2003 in the Sunday Independent, one of only a handful of mainstream articles on the issue] [1] Journalist Joe MacAnthony details his experiences of working within the Irish mainstream media. From the early heady days in his time with the Irish Times, where 'scandal thrived in house', to the wage cuts and ostracism following his exposure of Ray Burke's dealings. read full story / add a comment

Hillary Clinton ratcheted up the threats to Iran on Monday ahead of the Democrat Party’s decisive primary election in the state of of Pennsylvania. Delivering a well-prepared response on ABC's Good Morning America program to a loaded question about what she would do in the event of Iranian nuclear attack on Israel, Clinton warned , "In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say but those people who run Iran need to understand that because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic." read full story / add a comment

In today's UK, Independent on Sunday, Donald Macintyre illuminates the routine brutality, thievery and knavery of the Israeli Occupation Forces in the West Bank city of Hebron, but, thanks to the lord bejaysus, some of them have conscience and regrets and speak out: "In a confessional interview with the Israeli Channel Two investigative programme Uvda, Gigi, who had previously been in many ways a model soldier, talked of "losing the human condition" in Hebron. Asked what he meant, he replied: "To lose the human condition is to become an animal" read full story / add a comment

Today we witness the international media reporting on the fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. Few of the journalists have ever served in the military and few of them can understand the overwhelming fear, terror and daily brutality that turns men into merciless killers. In our nice sanitised view of war, soldier kill other soldiers and do not gun down prisoners with their hands up. The intensely savage battle for Fallujah, an American soldier was filmed shooting an apparently unarmed and wounded insurgent. In Haditha, a squad of American soldiers ran amok and cut down men women and children with automatic weapons and grenades. Such behaviour is nothing new in war. read full story / add a comment

All is not as it appears at surface level. Iran condemns Israel as Zionist butchers but at the same time sells oil to Israel. Oil which fuels the tanks and jets that slaughter the Palestinians and Lebanese. Full story of the Iranian Regimes treacherey at the link. If you've ever wondered about the definition of hypocrisy you'll find the answer right here. Last month the Swiss signed a multi-billion euro contract for Iran to supply Switzerland with natural gas over the next 25 years. The US State Department condemned the deal and said it would be investigating whether it breached the Iran Sanctions Act. Israel complained too, describing the Swiss minister's visit to Tehran as an "act unfriendly to Israel".On March 30, the Swiss newspaper Sonntag retaliated with the revelation that Israel, supposedly observing an ironclad boycott of all things Iranian, has been buying Iranian oil for years. read full story / add a comment
