| Spanish workers strike over cuts Posted: 08 Jun 2010 01:06 PM PDT Spanish public sector trade unions are holding strikes around the country in protest against government austerity measures. Tens of thousands of workers took action on Tuesday following government plans last month to cut public sector workers' wages by five per cent to reduce the country's large state deficit. |
| Iran warns against fresh sanctions Posted: 08 Jun 2010 12:25 PM PDT Imposing fresh sanctions on Iran will end any prospect of negotiations over the country's controversial nuclear programme, the Iranian president has said. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters in Istanbul on Tuesday that any future participation in nuclear talks is contingent on the attitude of Western countries who accuse Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons. |
| Crowded boat sinks in Bangladesh Posted: 08 Jun 2010 11:31 AM PDT At least 12 people, including several schoolchildren, have died after a crowded boat carrying about 50 people sank in northeastern Bangladesh. Authorities said the boat sank on Monday after it was caught in a storm. |

| Report: Israeli government asked the US for more weapons Posted: 08 Jun 2010 09:50 AM PDT During his most recent visit to the US, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu requested that the US provide him with Joint Direct Attack Munition bombs, rockets, aircraft ammunition and other weapons to vastly increase the "emergency stores" of weapons held by the US in Israel. Israeli forces used Joint Direct Attack Munition bombs during its 2006 invasion of Lebanon, and its 2009 invasion of Gaza. In both of these invasions, the Israeli use of these U.S.-supplied weapons resulted in heavy civilian casualties among those attacked by the Israeli army. |

| Reporter quits over Israel remark Posted: 08 Jun 2010 09:04 AM PDT Veteran White House journalist Helen Thomas, who has covered every US president since John F Kennedy, has abruptly retired amid a storm of criticism over her controversial remarks about Israel. Her retirement on Monday as a Hearst Newspapers columnist came after she was captured on video saying Israelis should "get the hell out of Palestine" and that they should go "home" to Germany, Poland or the United States. |
| Israeli troops issue 10-day eviction orders to Palestinians in Jordan Valley Posted: 08 Jun 2010 09:04 AM PDT Five Palestinian families in the Jordan Valley, in the eastern part of the West Bank, received eviction orders from the Israeli military on Sunday, just days after Israeli settlers set up an illegal outpost on the families' land and took over a water well in the area. The eviction orders told the families to vacate their homes and land within ten days so that Israeli troops could occupy it. According to a local town councilmember from Atuf, Abdallah Bisharat, the eviction will render 50 people homeless and, given that the families receiving the notices are farming families dependent on their land for their livelihoods, the evictions will be "devastating" for the families in question. |

| CIA Medics Honed Torture Techniques on Detainees, Group Charges Posted: 08 Jun 2010 09:00 AM PDT A major human rights organization claims it has uncovered evidence indicating that the administration of former U.S. President George W. Bush conducted "illegal and unethical human experimentation" and research on detainees in CIA custody. The group, Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), claims "the apparent experimentation and research appear to have been performed to provide legal cover for torture, as well as to help justify and shape future procedures and policies governing the use of the 'enhanced' interrogation techniques." |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2010 09:00 AM PDT While I was taking a week off to celebrate Memorial Day the story broke about "King David" Petraeus secretly giving himself authority in back in September 2009 to start a war anywhere from the Horn of Africa to the Bananastans*. His secret directive allows him to bury America in another quagmire any time his black little heart desires without so much as a yes-you-may from the commander in chief or Congress. In a May 25 article, New York Times Pentagon stenographer Mark Mazzetti, to whom "military officials" showed the "secret" directive Petraeus had written, noted that "the precise operations that the directive authorizes are unclear" and that the order "does not appear to authorize offensive strikes in any specific countries." |
| Zionist Joke: What Have We Ever Done to Them? Posted: 08 Jun 2010 09:00 AM PDT There's one big difference I've noticed between the political Left and Right. Even in the worst of times, lefties have a sense of humor. So I wasn't surprised to see the grand old man of the Israeli Left, Uri Avnery, sum up his government's galling attack on the Gaza flotilla with an old Jewish joke. Avnery has been fighting his nation's militarist policies for longer than most of us have been alive. But at 86, he can still blend outrage with humor. In his response to the attack, he made it clear that he was furious because the violence was premeditated: "The orders given to the [Israeli] forces and made public included the three fateful words: 'at any cost.' Every soldier knows what these three terrible words mean." |
| IDF Beatings, Abuse, Doctored Evidence Emerge Posted: 08 Jun 2010 09:00 AM PDT RAMALLAH – Although Israel successfully controlled news of its deadly commando raid on the Free Gaza (FG) flotilla during the first crucial 48 hours of media coverage, emerging evidence from witnesses and survivors is challenging the Israeli government's version of events. These include claims of medical treatment being withheld; beatings and abuse of passengers who never resisted; and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) doctoring audio and selectively editing videos. |
| China defends web censorship laws Posted: 08 Jun 2010 08:51 AM PDT China has defended its tight controls on the internet, saying it has no intention of relaxing its censorship of websites it deems subversive or a threat to national unity. In a white paper published on Tuesday, the government also said it would not accept outside criticism of its internet controls and warned foreign governments and companies to respect its rules. |

| Helen Thomas F*cks With the Jews Posted: 08 Jun 2010 07:53 AM PDT In an exchange with Joey Kurtzman at jewcy.com, Be Nice, or We'll Crush You, subtitled "Criticizing Jews is professional suicide", John Derbyshire writes: Almost the first thing you hear from old hands when you go into opinion journalism in the U.S. is, to put it in the precise form I first heard it: "Don't f*ck with the Jews." |
| More bodies pulled from Mexico mine Posted: 08 Jun 2010 07:42 AM PDT Police in Mexico have discovered dozens more bodies in an abandoned silver mine suspected of being used by drug gangs to dump their victims. The first 20 corpses were pulled out more than a week ago from the bottom of a 150-metre deep shaft at the Concha mine in the town of Taxco in Mexico's southern state of Guerrero, the state attorney-general's office said on Monday. |
| US well cap 'catching more oil' Posted: 08 Jun 2010 07:27 AM PDT US officials have said the cap placed by engineers over a leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico is now capturing about 1.7 million litres of oil a day. But estimates on the amount of oil being caught range from one-third to three quarters of the total volume that continues to gush into the sea. |
| US soldier arrested over Iraq video Posted: 08 Jun 2010 06:08 AM PDT A US soldier serving in Iraq has been arrested for allegedly leaking a classified combat video to a whistleblower website, Wikileaks, last year. The video footage from a helicopter cockpit shows a deadly 2007 aerial strike in the Iraqi capital that killed 12 civilians including two journalists from the Reuters news agency. |

| Israel to hold own flotilla probe Posted: 08 Jun 2010 05:10 AM PDT Israel has said it will launch its own investigations into last week's deadly raid on a Gaza aid flotilla, after rejecting a UN proposal for an international probe into the attack. In a statement on Monday, the Israeli military said it was gathering an "internal team of experts" to examine the operation and "establish lessons from the event". |
| Foreigners held in Yemen arrests Posted: 08 Jun 2010 04:21 AM PDT Authorities in Yemen have detained 12 US nationals, amid a series of arrests in the country of foreigners suspected of having ties to al-Qaeda. On Monday a spokesman for the US state department confirmed the American arrests, but gave no details on why they were detained or whether the US government had anything to do with their being picked up. |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2010 03:57 AM PDT When Iranians took to the streets the day after they cast their ballots for president, the Western media was presented with a sweeping, dramatic story. After a vigorous election campaign, the country saw an unprecedented turnout of voters on June 12, 2009. When the government announced a prohibitive winner -- the incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- just after the polls closed, millions of Iranians who felt their votes hadn't been counted took to the streets to protest. The government responded with violence and sweeping arrests. The leading opposition candidate former prime minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who had spent the campaign trying to prove his reformist bona fides, suddenly embraced the role of civil rights leader, urging his supporters not to back down. The protests continued for months, as did the crackdowns: Dozens were killed, hundreds were placed before show trials, and many were thrown into prison and tortured. With the entire world watching, Iran faced its greatest crisis since the 1979 revolution. |
| Can the White House Revoke a Reporter's Credentials? Posted: 08 Jun 2010 02:08 AM PDT Today, after 50 years of covering the White House, Hearst newspapers columnist Helen Thomas announced her retirement after the widespread outrage that followed the release of a video in which she says that Jews in Israel should "go back to Germany and Poland." White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs called Thomas's remarks "offensive and reprehensible." But if the 89-year-old Thomas had insisted on remaining, could the White House have forced her out of the press corps?

| Posted: 07 Jun 2010 11:21 PM PDT Last month, a group of Egyptian lawyers accused Gamal al-Ghitany, a famous Egyptian novelist and the editor of the country's most influential literary magazine, of printing obscene materials. The two-volume set that Ghitany had just published in his capacity as editor of a government-sponsored literary series had proved wildly popular, reportedly selling out its first printing in 48 hours. But according to his accusers, it was full of "shameless sexual terms" and "sarcasm towards the divine essence." |

| Queen Elizabeth Makes a Rare Appearance for King Constantine Posted: 07 Jun 2010 10:43 PM PDT Well, that was an easy one. King Constantine of the Hellenes—that's the Greeks, for any of you who never got past fourth grade—celebrated his 70th birthday in his son's London mansion, and the setting as well as the guest list were fit for a King. Prince Pavlos of Greece is heir to the Greek throne, but the Greeks, being an ungrateful lot, voted against the monarchy back in 1974. The Greek royal family has lived in London ever since. Prince Pavlos is married to Marie-Chantal Miller, daughter of a billionaire, and their house near the river is one of London's finest. The garden is magnificent and very, very large. A tent covered only half of it, and as the guests arrived we were ushered upstairs for drinks, an act that helped break the ice, so to speak. There were 84 of us, and I shall start by mentioning some of the worthies. Queen Elizabeth II and her consort Prince Philip, born a Greek prince. The Queen of Denmark, sister of Queen Anna-Maria of Greece, Sophia, the Queen of Spain, sister of King Constantine, her son Prince Felipe of Spain, (and as some wag had it, Eric, florist to the stars in Hollywood, making up the fifth queen.) |
| Oblivious to Oil in Mississippi, Possible Troops in Louisiana Posted: 07 Jun 2010 10:28 PM PDT Mississippi's governor Haley Barbour is not about to let oil washing up on the state's beaches ruin the tourism industry. "The truth is we have had virtually no oil," Barbour told Fox News Sunday. "We've had a few tar balls but we have a few every year" because of natural seepage in the Gulf of Mexico. It's all the fault of the damn media, Barbour insists. "The biggest negative impact for us has been the news coverage," he grumbled. |
| Monday: 21 Iraqis Killed, 72 Wounded Posted: 07 Jun 2010 07:49 PM PDT Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says al-Qaeda's power base in Iraq has been squeezed by a lack of funds and a power vacuum at the top. Despite al-Qaeda weakening, attacks continue to vex Iraq. At least 21 Iraqis were killed and 72 more were wounded in new violence. Also, Iraq lodged complaints with Iran over reports that Iranian troops have crossed the border and started to erect a new fort as part of their operations against Kurdish rebels. Iranian troops are reportedly building a new border fort within Iraqi territory without permission from the Iraqi government. This is the second incursion of Iranian troops in the last year. Although sections of the border areas are contested, the crossing is apparently part of operations against the Party of a Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK) rebels who use sparsely populated northern Iraq for their bases. |
