How the 'Civilised' U.S. Treats Prisoners of War Matt Siegfried The United States is the country with more people locked up, both as a percentage of population and in absolute numbers than any other country in the world. The U.S. puts to death dozens of people a year who are retarded or were children when they supposedly committed the crimes they were convicted of. Now the U.S. is putting prisoners of war in cages.

Liam Mellows and the Irish Revolution Liam O'Ruairc Liam Mellows (1892 - 1922) is remembered not just as a great Republican, but also as a major figure of the Republican Socialist tradition. But who was he exactly, and what were his ideas ? Mellows was one of those who set up the Fianna Eireann organisation, and was later involved in the Irish Volunteers and the IRB. In 1916, he made an unsuccessful attempt to develop the Rising in Galway. He was then forced to escape to the USA, where he carried on propaganda and organisational work. While in America, he was elected TD for Galway in 1918, and re-elected later in 1921. Comments: Google It! 6:49:12 AM

Saol Nua Sean O'Lubaigh 27 July 2002 Multi-national corporate greed has won out as 400 Irish glass workers in Dublin feel the sting of loosing their livelihoods. Once again it is the capitalist mantra of "profit over people". After respectful negotiations by the workers to make concessions to save their jobs the multi-national parent company pulls the plug anyhow. A slap in the face of the workers who sought accommodation. A peaceful workers "sit in" to receive a fair and rightfully earned severance package failed to sway the bosses from trying to cheat and stop the workers aims. Comments: Google It! 6:41:06 AM
