A person who is caught red handed having sex with a sheep or horse or indeed any other animal will go to jail. Anyone distributing tapes containing explicit sexual handling of animals by humans will get a fine. Holland is known for its live sex of (usually illegally imported ) people with fish, dogs, sheep, horses, etc. and last year a lot was done to highlight this in the news all around the world. The Dutch freed kidnapped girls who were forced to have live sex with dogs in a show. The girls were send to a detention centre and deported. A law was formed to protect the dogs. At least a law will be implemented soon. Of course we will not stop here. Kidnapping and forcing girls to do these things should be forbidden too but so far the Dutch make too much monies on this so no law will be implemented and only paper tigers exist. They thought this one over for four years!!! Nice one. A sheep would take a shorter while to come up with this law. http://indexx.knipt.nl/?p=175 for the story in Dutch. read full story / add a comment

"............Five years into this battle, there is an understandable debate over whether the war was worth fighting … whether the fight is worth winning … and whether we can win it. The answers are clear to me: Removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right decision – and this is a fight America can and must win… Over the past five years, we have seen moments of triumph and moments of tragedy. We have watched in admiration as 12 million Iraqis defied the terrorists, went to the polls, and chose their leaders in free elections. ........" http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/19_03_08_bus...h.pdf read full story / add a comment

"........She is one of the faces symbolizing the Iraq war. Pictures showing her abusing Iraqi detainees in Abu Graib prison brought her notorious fame throughout the world. In her first interview in three years Lynndie England talks about Abu Ghraib, about Charles Graner, about guilt, her current life - and the role of the Bush administration........" The German current affairs magazine "Stern" publishes the Lynndie England interview Wednesday in its European print edition, but online versions are already available. It may be remembered that when the photos and scandal broke, Rumsfeld pleading ignorance asked how was he supposed to know what happened during the night shift in a prison on the other side of the world. As details of the abuse of extreme sexual nature were partially revealed he made a statement which is partially appended below. read full story / add a comment

Olivier Besancourt the thirty year old mousturizer using Trotskyist who championed radical left hopes in the General Election last year & who did surprisingly well and winning 4.08% or 1,498,581 votes, & thus came fifth in Presidential candidates just behind Le Pen, & then rousingly called on French people to vote for Segolene Royal, has this evening called on French workers to a "General Strike". The call has been made as the Socialist lead of the first round of local elections at 47% has risen to a victory of 49.5% when all candidates of the left are put in one category just as if they are, which of course they aren't. Less than twenty five minutes this brave & rousing call was made - your indymedia ireland site reports it to you. Which just goes to show how au fait the modern lefty of either Trotskyist or non-mousturizer variety is with new technology. read full story / add a comment

Tonight the BBC will air the first part of their 2008 "Passion" drama in which Simon Elliott the production designer has chosen to depict a "historically accurate" crucifixion as possible. ""He was probably put on a crude wooden gibbet and made to stand in a loose, foetal position. It was fiendishly designed."" says Mr Elliott who admits his work might offend Christians who like the traditional nails through the hands & feet image of a muscular sort of chap who manages to just hang there without suffocation or his hands being ripped apart. Pretty gruesome stuff you'll agree. You might even believe in it. In which case you ought jam the BBC switchboard tonight & write letters using the trusty name "disgusted". read full story / add a comment

Concern is also growing that, after Northern Rock and Bear Stearns, another bank casualty is looming on this side of the Atlantic. Many are now focusing on Irish banks, which have lent aggressively during the property boom. Irish Nationwide, which was recently given a 'C' rating from Moody's - not a ringing endorsement - is at the centre of rumours. The bank, with assets of €16bn, had a reputation for offering 100 per cent loans on property, and took equity stakes in many deals. read full story / add a comment

Western governments must talk to terror groups including al-Qaida and the Taliban if they hope to secure a long-term halt to their campaigns of violence, according to the man who for more than a decade was Tony Blair's most influential aide and adviser. Jonathan Powell, who served as Blair's chief of staff from 1995 to 2007 and is widely regarded as having been instrumental in negotiating a settlement in Northern Ireland, said his experience in the province convinced him that it was essential to keep a line of communication open even with one's most bitter enemies. Powell said: "There's nothing to say to al-Qaida and they've got nothing to say to us at the moment, but at some stage you're going to have to come to a political solution as well as a security solution. And that means you need the ability to talk." read full story / add a comment
