By Nicola Byrne Sunday June 18, 2006 The Observer Staff working at Shannon Airport are being pressed to report any evidence they see of trafficking of prisoners by the US military. It follows the discovery by a cleaner last Sunday of a manacled soldier on board a US civilian aircraft at the airport. The incident has proved highly embarrassing for the Irish government, which had always accepted assurances that no such traffic passed through its airports. Foreign Minister Dermot Ahern has now signalled that gardai may carry out random checks of US planes using the airport, but in the absence of any concrete decision human rights groups have asked staff at Shannon to report anything out of the ordinary. 'Only for the vigilance of one worker, we still wouldn't know for certain what we have long suspected - that prisoners are been transported through Ireland by the American authorities,' said Fintan Lane of the Irish Anti-War Movement. 'We are now depending on staff at Shannon to report more incidents. It's the only way we can find out what is being carried on US military aircraft at this point.' read full story / add a comment

The escalating repression taking place now in the Philippines is no coincidence. Twenty years since the end of the dictatorship and three "people's power" uprisings later, Philippine society is hugely polarized. read full story / add a comment

The right wing media in Britain reacted with predictable fury at Loach’s treatment of the Irish war of independence in his prize winning film ,The Wind That Shakes The Barley .The Times compared Loach unfavourably to Hitler’s favourite director, Leni Riefenstahl ;the liberal press - again predictably- took the view that the film was one-sided in its anti-British stance . In this Guardian interview Loach defends his film from liberal and tory critics alike . read full story / add a comment

You are sitting in an apartment one flight of stairs above the scene of a 'Domestic Violence' incident. You are aware of the woman who lives in the apartment below and that she has a small child who trick or treated you at Halloween. Now you are witnessing the sounds of an attack on that woman. Do you: a) Go down the flight of stairs and ask if she needs help- Which she obviously does. b) tell yourself, that the 'dynamic' between two lovers is something one should not interfere in. c) Call the authorities. d). hope she is ok and mention in passing (the next day) that you heard something, did not wish to intervene and chuck the big-eyed two-year old under the chin. read full story / add a comment

Ever get the feeling that something is wrong? Our culture conditions us to destroy what is important - and works hard to persuade us there's no alternative. It's time to break the spell. This essay was first published in the May 2006 edition of The Dubliner Magazine. It is an important essay, but is not available elsewhere on the web, so I am posting it here. read full story / add a comment

Thank you for your article (link below) on Howard and particularly for highlighting his disregard for Australian youth. I am appalled by his attitude to young Australians. Australia has one of the highest youth suicide rates in the developed world and little wonder; the short-term interests of corporate profit, crushing taxation laws and the introduction of ‘guest workers’ have stolen the future from the majority of our youth. Our youth now experience ever-increasing difficulty obtaining work skills needed for their survival. read full story / add a comment

Nationalists in Co Derry have accused the PSNI of using “heavy-handed tactics” after a nationalist youth had bones broken in a hand during a weekend incident. The 17-year-old was among a small group of nationalists who gathered at a mural dedicated to the hunger strikers on Sunday at Moneysharvin Road, outside Maghera. Local people were alerted after a minibus full of loyalist bandsmen stopped at the mural at around 11.30pm on Friday. It is understood they were returning from a parade held earlier in the night in nearby Magherafelt. read full story / add a comment

It might not seem it, but 20 years have passed since the death of Jorge Lluis Borges in Geneva on the 14th of June 1986. He shared the Nobel Prize for literature with Samuel Beckett. He learnt Japanese at 90 and was thought by everyone to be very brainy. His father was an anarchist. He had a wonky eye. Everyone loved him & humoured him. The cruelest thing you could say about him was "sure he didn't get out enough & spent too much time on the mammy & the demonologies" read full story / add a comment

Its been reported that SUV owners in California appear to be burning their SUVs in those cases where the vehicle is already relatively old and where they owe more on them than what they are worth. It is presumed that the price of 2nd hand SUVs has fallen as fuel costs have gone up. read full story / add a comment |
