ContactMusic: "Singer MORRISSEY was quizzed by the FBI and British intelligence after speaking out against the American and British governments.
The Brit is a famous critic of the US-led war in Iraq and has dubbed President George W. Bush a 'terrorist' - but he was baffled to be hauled in by authorities.
Morrissey explains, 'The FBI and the Special Branch have investigated me and I've been interviewed and taped and so forth. They were trying to determine if I was a threat to the government, and similarly in England. But it didn't take them very long to realise that I'm not.
My view is that neither England or America are democratic societies. You can't really speak your mind and if you do you're investigated.'"

NYTimes: "While an international debate rages over the future of the American detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, the military has quietly expanded another, less-visible prison in Afghanistan, where it now holds some 500 terror suspects in more primitive conditions, indefinitely and without charges."
How proud the Dutch Christian prime minister, J-P Balkenende, must have been when he finally could contribute by sending troops to Afghanistan.

Independent: "In the event of all-out nuclear war, the BBC was to distract the nation by broadcasting a mix of music and light entertainment shows, secret papers released by the Home Office reveal."
With the appearance of Little Britain on European tv-screens to keep the modern hooligan happy, I suspect the plan is now in effect. Just joking. They are probably diverting attention from their own nuclear experiments.
Newsday: "U.S. and British government scientists performed an underground nuclear experiment, short of a nuclear blast, at the Nevada Test Site this week, the National Nuclear Security Administration said."
So, you see, our Dr. Strangeloves are scaremongers and at the same time warmongers.
And the madmen are breathing down our necks:
TheNation: "The federal officials who are busy assuring Americans that they've got their act together when it comes to managing port security are not inspiring much confidence with their approach to airline security.
When Dr. Robert Johnson, a heart surgeon who did his active duty with the U.S. Army Reserve before being honorably discharged with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, arrived at the Syracuse airport near his home in upstate New York last month for a flight to Florida, he was told he could not travel.
Why? Johnson was told that his name had been added to the federal 'no-fly' list as a possible terror suspect."
