Scotsman: "Survivors of the Nagasaki atomic bomb attack were among those arrested at Faslane naval base yesterday during a protest at plans to renew the Trident nuclear weapon system.
The five men, two of whom are A-bomb survivors, linked themselves together with bamboo sticks and sat in the road in front of the base, near Helensburgh in Argyll.
A local woman who joined the protest was also arrested, police said. Five Japanese women were detained during the protest but freed later.
The protesters are part of a 12-strong group from Nagasaki, where 74,000 people died and 75,000 were injured after an atomic bomb was dropped on the city at the end of the Second World War."

The energy of the future? It looks huge though.
"The Maglev Wind Turbine Power Plant contributes to the reduction of pollution by eliminating our dependency of fossil fueled power plants. Since carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees, our Maglev Wind Turbine Power Plant can offset as much as 1,750,000 acres of forest."

BlairWatch: "Listening to George and Gordon's double act is a painful reminder that nothing's changed. Gordon appears to be saying that we're building up the Iraqi security services in Basra to stop al-Qaeda (eh?). George is off his nut. Quite, quite mad. Neither of them appears to be remotely capable of forming an assessment of the situation based on reality.
'People who kill innocent men, women and children to achieve political goals are evil' - George W Bush, 30/7/2007"
And this is the realization of 'the American Dream':
Aljazeera: "Up to eight million Iraqis require immediate emergency aid, with nearly half of the population living in 'absolute poverty', according to a report by Oxfam and a coalition of Iraqi groups.
About four million people are lacking food and 'in dire need of different types of humanitarian assistance', said the report, released in Amman on Monday."
CBS: "Evidence of gang culture and gang activity in the military is increasing so much an FBI report calls it 'a threat to law enforcement and national security'. The signs are chilling: Marines in gang attire on Parris Island; paratroopers flashing gang hand signs at a nightclub near Ft. Bragg; infantrymen showing-off gang tattoos at Ft. Hood.
Gang activity clues are appearing in Iraq and Afghanistan, too. Gang graffiti is sprayed on blast walls - even on Humvees. Kilroy - the doodle made famous by U.S. soldiers in World War II - is here, but so is the star emblem of the Gangster Disciples."
And Gordon Blair, I mean Brown, has just declared his allegiance to the usurper-in-chief, George W. Bush.
