OUR HEROES Independent: "As the nation prepares to remember the sacrifices of millions, exhaustive research by the Legion suggests that almost half of veterans and their dependants - 3.88 million - are surviving on less than £10,000 a year. Almost one million have to exist on less than half that amount." 11:59:37 AM

THE GITMO GULAG WashingtonPost: "The Senate endorsed a plan yesterday that would sharply limit suspected foreign terrorists' access to U.S. courts, an effort to overturn a landmark 2004 Supreme Court ruling that has allowed hundreds of detainees held by the military at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to challenge their detentions. At the same time, the proposal would give Congress some oversight of the military process set up to review whether Guantanamo Bay detainees are terrorists and should continue to be held. The measure would subject those tribunal decisions to limited review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia." The present US government, including Congress, is a bunch of rogues without scruples. By breaching the Geneva Convention the US has become a de facto fascist state. 11:56:44 AM

NATIONAL SECURITY UPI: "Unless the Bush administration significantly cuts American troop levels in Iraq next year, the U.S. military's roughly 140,000-strong presence there will become a detriment to America's national security, according to a report released this week." 11:49:58 AM
