The deformed children of Fallujah

Fallujah children's 'genetic damage'

and yes, that is part of the effects of the US/UK invasion of Iraq and also the later us led assault on the city.

Effects seems to be worse than in places like Hiroshima after World War 2.

It is thought that American weapons are to blame for the defects, but the people will have no justice and the government of the place will not even acknowledge there is a problem and people are warned away from taking part in surveys or other stuff on the matter.

Disgusting.

The police get away with murder. Literally

Apparently a police officer filmed assaulting a man during the G20 protests - a man who subsequently died - last year has "nothing to answer for".

The CPS used evidence from a doctor who is facing other allegations of misconduct in order to drop any charges against the assaulting police office.

A paid for doctor?

Contrast this with Gaza protesters who were also assaulted by police, but were then charged and convicted for serious crimes and got like 18 month sentences for throwing a plastic bottle.

International Court of Justice to rule today on Kosovo's independence

It will probably not make much difference on the ground, but the ICJ is due to rule at 2pm today on the legality of Kosovo's independence.

Kind of weird because international law is a farce and not really something that exists IMO, but it will be interesting to see what happens.

ex-MI5 chief (finally?) admits that the Iraq war increased terrorism threat to UK

published by You on 20 July, 2010 - 21:09

Probably shouldbe from the department of the obvious, but this is also I think the first time anyone involved with government or policy anywhere in the UK has stated it so big news.

I doubt we will be able to get Blair to hang for this - we could do with a good lynching, but he is way too slippery to get caught out by things like facts and the truth.

Syria bans face veils at universities

published by You on 19 July, 2010 - 18:24

Female students wearing a full face veil will be barred from Syrian university campuses, the country's minister of higher education has said.

Ghiyath Barakat was reported to have said that the practice ran counter to the academic values and traditions of Syrian universities.

His ruling, published on the All4Syria website, was said to be in response to requests from students and parents.

The issue of full face veils has caused controversy in other countries.

Kinda al-Shammat, a law professor and women's rights activist in Damascus, welcomed the decision and said it was in line with the Syrian belief in moderation.
