Good old keisar trad,UN resolution not strong enough,palestinians and lebanese still being killed,no mention of Isreaeli being killed,maybe in his mind they are expendable,moron!regardless of his opinion of this issue,peace should be for everyone and seeing that Isreaelis are being bombarded by the civilians oh sorry undercover of civilians shields perhaps they should also deserve a mention on the same level of grief.

So far about 1,030 Lebanese dead (mostly civilians) and 123 Israeli's (mostly militiary), not to mention Syrians who have been killed
As for palestinians... media doesnt even follow this and i dont think they even keep a death count anymore... it would be several maybe 10s of thousands
The U.N. is a joke

The UK Terror plot: what's really going on?
I have been reading very carefully through all the Sunday newspapers to try and analyse the truth from all the scores of pages claiming to detail the so-called bomb plot. Unlike the great herd of so-called security experts doing the media analysis, I have the advantage of having had the very highest security clearances myself, having done a huge amount of professional intelligence analysis, and having been inside the spin machine.
So this, I believe, is the true story.
None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane ticket. Many did not even have passports, which given the efficiency of the UK Passport Agency would mean they couldn't be a plane bomber for quite some time.
In the absence of bombs and airline tickets, and in many cases passports, it could be pretty difficult to convince a jury beyond reasonable doubt that individuals intended to go through with suicide bombings, whatever rash stuff they may have bragged in internet chat rooms.
What is more, many of those arrested had been under surveillance for over a year - like thousands of other British Muslims. And not just Muslims. Like me. Nothing from that surveillance had indicated the need for early arrests.
Then an interrogation in Pakistan revealed the details of this amazing plot to blow up multiple planes - which, rather extraordinarily, had not turned up in a year of surveillance. Of course, the interrogators of the Pakistani dictator have their ways of making people sing like canaries. As I witnessed in Uzbekistan, you can get the most extraordinary information this way. Trouble is it always tends to give the interrogators all they might want, and more, in a desperate effort to stop or avert torture. What it doesn't give is the truth.
The gentleman being "interrogated" had fled the UK after being wanted for questioning over the murder of his uncle some years ago. That might be felt to cast some doubt on his reliability. It might also be felt that factors other than political ones might be at play within these relationships. Much is also being made of large transfers of money outside the formal economy. Not in fact too unusual in the British Muslim community, but if this activity is criminal, there are many possibilities that have nothing to do with terrorism.
We then have the extraordinary question of Bush and Blair discussing the possible arrests over the weekend. Why? I think the answer to that is plain. Both in desperate domestic political trouble, they longed for "Another 9/11". The intelligence from Pakistan, however dodgy, gave them a new 9/11 they could sell to the media. The media has bought, wholesale, all the rubbish they have been shovelled.
We then have the appalling political propaganda of John Reid, Home Secretary, making a speech warning us all of the dreadful evil threatening us and complaining that "Some people don't get" the need to abandon all our traditional liberties. He then went on, according to his own propaganda machine, to stay up all night and minutely direct the arrests. There could be no clearer evidence that our Police are now just a political tool. Like all the best nasty regimes, the knock on the door came in the middle of the night, at 2.30am. Those arrested included a mother with a six week old baby.
For those who don't know, it is worth introducing Reid. A hardened Stalinist with a long term reputation for personal violence, at Stirling Univeristy he was the Communist Party's "Enforcer", (in days when the Communist Party ran Stirling University Students' Union, which it should not be forgotten was a business with a very substantial cash turnover). Reid was sent to beat up those who deviated from the Party line.
We will now never know if any of those arrested would have gone on to make a bomb or buy a plane ticket. Most of them do not fit the "Loner" profile you would expect - a tiny percentage of suicide bombers have happy marriages and young children. As they were all under surveillance, and certainly would have been on airport watch lists, there could have been little danger in letting them proceed closer to maturity - that is certainly what we would have done with the IRA.
In all of this, the one thing of which I am certain is that the timing is deeply political. This is more propaganda than plot. Of the over one thousand British Muslims arrested under anti-terrorist legislation, only twelve per cent are ever charged with anything. That is simply harrassment of Muslims on an appalling scale. Of those charged, 80% are acquitted. Most of the very few - just over two per cent of arrests - who are convicted, are not convicted of anything to do terrorism, but of some minor offence the Police happened upon while trawling through the wreck of the lives they had shattered.
Be sceptical. Be very, very sceptical.

"The (Australian) Government has in parrot fashion repeated the mantra of the US government and has not asked for a cease-fire like other fair-minded nations,'' the letter said.

OK! Great! we don't have GST!
Happy said:True, we don’t have GST on quite few items.
But to tell the truth, I’d much prefer 30% GST and no personal tax as then big part of black market would be taxed at the bowser, checkout, amusement park, tram, train, bus and ferry.
Happy said:On face value yes, but if you take into account that allegedly illegal activity could be well covered up and I suspect that it is part of the plot, we might be surprised.
But all this is under assumption that ‘they’ use this technique as part of conspiracy.

Court hears found letter 'referred to martyrdom'
A police informant has told a committal hearing in Melbourne that a letter found at the home of the accused contained coded references to martyrdom.
But the defence claimed the letter could be viewed as nothing more than a love letter between a man and his wife.
Fadal Sayadi, 26, is one of 13 men who have been charged with various terrorism offences.
Today police informant Constable David Pagliari was asked about a letter found during a search of Sayadi's home.
He told the court the letter contained coded references to violent jihad and martyrdom.
The letter reads: "My love, How I miss you already? What would I ever do if we were separated for more than a day? Inshallah I will never find out. May the only cause for our separation be the cause of Allah. And may he grant me paradise alongside you as queen of your Hoor."
Police believe 'Hoor' to be a reference to 'hoori', which in the Koran meaning, implies the virgins who marry the devout in paradise or the afterlife.
That is how Constable Pagliari viewed it when he analysed the letter in his role with Operation Pendennis.
He told the court the reference to "paradise alongside you as queen of your Hoor", is being the queen of the the 72 virgins a martyr would receive in martyrdom.
Prosecutor Nick Robinson asked the witness to explain the reference to Allah's cause in the letter and Constable Pagliari replied, violent jihad.
Earlier the defence barrister for Sayadi, Nola Karapanogiotidis asked the witness, "Do you agree it appears to be a love letter?"
Constable Pagliari replied, "Well it says I love you at the end."
He said the letter was forensically tested for DNA and police found a partial print of a female.
Constable Pagliari analysed over 230 telephone intercepts and material collected from listening devices placed at Sayadi's home, from September 2004.
He said he could readily identify Sayadi's voice whether he was speaking English or Arabic.
During a search of Sayadi's home, police found camouflage clothing, documents and cut-outs of various bombs and nuclear devices, along with a CD entitled, "The Legitimacy of Martyrdom Operations" and a video called "And Incite The Believers."
A rifle was also found, it was wrapped in a towel, and rolled inside a carpet.
Sayadi has been charged with four terrorism offences, including membership of a terrorist organisation.
The committal hearing continues.
