The conclusion of the trial of those accused of plotting to blow up transatlantic airlines in 2006 has created a major crisis for the Labour government and the security services. It has revealed the gaping disconnect between public opinion and official propaganda on the “war on terror.” So great is the damage that within days of the verdict the Crown Prosecution Service announced its intention to demand a retrial.

Russia and Turkey tango in the Black Sea
Posted by seumasach on September 12, 2008
“The complete failure of Cheney’s mission to Baku would appear to have come as a rude awakening to Washington that Moscow has effectively blunted the Bush administration’s gunboat diplomacy in the Black Sea. As the New York Times newspaper grimly assessed on Tuesday,”“The Bush administration, after considerable internal debate, has decided not to take direct punitive action [against Russia] … concluding it has little leverage if it acts unilaterally and that it would be better off pressing for a chorus of international criticism to be led by Europe.”

Amid the flurry of diplomatic activity in Moscow last week over the Caucasus, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov took time off for an exceptionally important mission to Turkey, which might prove a turning point in the security and stability of the vast region that the two powers historically shared.

Posted by seumasach on September 10, 2008
We continue our series of posts on the theme of the abandonment of the neo-cons by their own allies. We’ve had Timoshenko, Havel and now Berlusconi
Guy Dinmore in Rome
Once a favoured ally rewarded for his support of the US invasion of Iraq, Silvio Berlusconi, Italy’s centre-right prime minister, has evolved into a serious irritant for the Bush administration in handling Russia’s invasion of Georgia.

Ivashov, Chiesa, Meyssan, Russian Experts To Debate 9-11 On Russian TV Friday
Posted by seumasach on September 10, 2008
“The host for the debate stressed that this landmark telecast did not imply that the Kremlin administration of President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin was officially espousing any particular point of view concerning 9/11, but rather reflected a commitment to free and open debate.”
How I love that Russian sense of humour!

9th September, 2008
WASHINGTON, DC — Thierry Meyssan reports from Moscow that he and other leading international 9/11 truth experts have completed taping a television debate which will be telecast on the first national program of Russian state television this coming Friday, September 12. This no-holds barred, free-wheeling debate, featuring strongly divergent opinions about what really happened on and about September 11, 2001, will be shown in conjunction with the documentary film Zero, produced and directed by Chiesa and Franco Fracassi of Telemaco Productions in Rome. Russians are thus about to receive an unprecedented evening of 9/11 truth.
