Wednesday, 21 January, 2009 5:24pm on 22 Jan 2009 Talking of Mr. Obama, I would like to draw peoples attention to the following article:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/01/22/obama-issues-directives-detainees-interrogation-guantanamo/

It talks, at some length, about Mr. Obama's treatment of the Guantanamo detainees and their future treatment in detention.

I would now like to draw you attention to the penultimate sentence in the piece. I would cut and past it, but refrain from doing so in fear of copyright, moderation problems, etc. All I can say though, is that it talks about abortion.

Is this what they call "Burying a story"?

Thanks....

Thanks for taking the time to look up 'The Bilderberg Group' on Google, I wish more people would take the time to do so.

I think the question here is why elected representatives of ours meet in secret with no public record of what is said or agreed upon.

What this groups agenda is and if following this agenda is more important than expressing the views of their constituents.
Which, at the end of the day, is an MP's sole responsibility.
Bat out of hell 10:48pm on 18 Jan 2009 "The deal was done over a lunch of meatloaf at George Osborne's house yesterday."

That doesn't surprise me, they are both Bilderberg Group members...

Why don't you write about that fact Nick?
Friday, 16 January, 2009 00:44am on 17 Jan 2009 I've just heard on Iranian TV that there are around 150 US Citizens currently in the Gaza strip.

Doesn't the United States have some sort of moral obligation to evacuate these people?

Just a thought...

UN General Assembly president Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann: Israel breaching international law in Gaza.

Israel has been condemned and accused of breaching international law at a UN General Assembly session for its deadly military strikes on Gaza.

"Gaza is ablaze. It has been turned into a burning hell," said the assembly president, Nicaragua's Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann on Thursday.

"The violations of international law inherent in the Gaza assault have been well documented: collective punishment; disproportionate military force; attacks on civilian targets, including homes, mosques, universities, schools," D'Escoto added.

UN Deputy Secretary General, Asha-Rose Migiro, meanwhile told the 192-member assembly that UN chief, Ban Ki-moon, currently on a visit to Israel, conveyed "his strong protest and outrage" and demanded an explanation after Israeli shells smashed into a UN compound in Gaza, setting fire to warehouses holding badly-needed aid.

Other Israeli strikes set a hospital wing on fire and wounded two cameramen in a building housing international and Arab media outlets.

D'Escoto deplored the fact that the Israeli offensive, launched to stop rocket firing by Palestinian militants and now in its 20th day, was continuing despite a ceasefire call issued by the 15-member Security Council last week.

"It seems to me ironic that Israel, a state that more than any other owes its very existence to a (1948) General Assembly resolution, should be so disdainful of United Nations resolutions," D'Escoto noted.

After D'Escoto's statement, speaker after speaker blasted the latest Israeli attacks.

Malaysia's UN Ambassador, Hamidon Ali said the proposed resolution should call for a ceasefire, the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, an end to the Israeli blockade of the Palestinian enclave and allowing humanitarian aid to reach victims of the conflict.

"It must also call for the establishment of a tribunal to investigate and to prosecute those responsible for the war crimes and crimes against humanity," the Malaysian envoy said. "Finally, sanctions must be imposed for non-compliance."

Palestinian UN observer Ryad Mansour meanwhile called for an independent investigation of Israel's "grave breaches and systematic violations of international law."

Meanwhile on Newsnight:

Lord (Digby) Jones a former government minister on why being a junior minister is a dreadful job...

"Put the cat out Ethel and warm up that Horlicks from last night, it'll be cold by now..."

Nighty night....Toodle pip.... :O)

I agree and think the media - Newsnight included - is trying to bury this story.

I am sure that the media will cover the story again on Saturday after the protest in Trafalgar square.

No doubt they will be concentrating on any trouble that is caused and not on why the protest happened.

Thanks.
Wednesday, 14 January, 2009 10:47am on 15 Jan 2009 JadedJean (#22) Don't you find it alarming that out of 22 comments we were the only two people to mention Gaza. Not even Newsnight mentioned it in the program.

"Oh, Peter Mandleson, isn't he just a wonderful person...."etc.

What short memory's the British people have....
Wednesday, 14 January, 2009 9:55pm on 14 Jan 2009 I hope that Newsnight has not forgotten the people of Gaza? As I see no mention of this story in your synopsis...

A story with no coverage is not 'News'.

'Old Hat' then, is it?

I also see that The International Criminal Court prosecutor in The Hague said on Wednesday that it lacks jurisdiction to investigate possible war crimes recently committed in the Gaza Strip.

The prosecutor's statement came after a Palestinian rights group called on the ICC to investigate Israel for committing war crimes during its 19-day-old offensive in Gaza.

The office of the prosecutor said the court's jurisdiction is limited to war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of genocide committed on the territory of, or by a national of, a state party.

"In Gaza at present, the ICC lacks such jurisdiction," the prosecutor said in a statement.

The prosecutor said crimes committed in other situations can come before the ICC if the relevant non-party state voluntarily accepts the jurisdiction of the court on an ad hoc basis or if the United Nations Security Council refers a situation.

Oh well, a quick cup of Horlicks, put the cat out and off to bed....

Nighty night everyone, sleep tight, hope the Zionists don't bite....
