George Dubya is the worst President in American history. But far worse is the fact that he doesn't give a damn about the American people. He is also dangerously incompetent. "Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales mishandled highly classified notes about a secret counterterror program, says a memo by his legal team...The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, acknowledges that Gonzales improperly stored notes about the program and might have taken them home at one point." (9-2-08) "The US state department yesterday warned that disclosure of secret information in the case of a British Resident said to have been tortured before he was sent to Guantánamo Bay would cause "serious and lasting damage" to security relations between the countries."

by kilroe4seasons (Posted 1 hour ago) For the attention of anyone kind and knowledgeable enough to respond, I have a question regarding access to civil justice in the Irish court system: I am in England (British citizen) and I am trying to help a low income old age pensioner and widow, who is an Irish citizen Resident in England, to bring a court action in Ireland against another Irish citizen Resident in Dublin for recovery of a personal monetary debt. The fact that the prospective Defendant happens to be a TD and an ex Government Minister is incidental. Whereas here in England, in order to sue someone (e.g. for a debt not paid), one would issue a summons as plaintiff in the county court against the nominated defendant, what would be the equivalent in the Irish system? Are court fees payable up-front? I would appreciate your assistance. href="http://www.politics.ie/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=40631"> ...

I can't help it. Like the rest of you, I'm lathered up about the election. I click through my travel feeds, but all I can think about are RNC speeches and election year posturing. I'm up in Alaska - which seems like a foreign country, if you've been there - and over in Iraq - where apparently we're winning the war, I did not know that - and in various airport terminals. I'm standing the other side of the glass in the arrivals hall at the airport where my green card carrying ambivalent US Resident husband is explaining to the immigration guy why he's been outside the US for so long even though our extensive research tells us that a)this should be no problem and b)his application for an additional travel document - still not granted - has taken longer to process than his departure and return to the US. I've got no experience in establishing foreign policy, but I'm pretty well stewed in the results and responses to US policy around the planet. I spent the Reagan years being mocked by unemployed Brits for our, what, I believe it was our greed and callous attitude about nuclear weapons. I was young and apolitical, but my traveling British cohorts couldn't stop making fun of our president. As a kibbutz volunteer, it was hard to leave the farm without getting tackled by Israeli men who wanted nothing more than to marry an American and get the hell out so they could live the subtitled life that Baywatch promised them. In some places, the ...

AC Grayling guardian.co.uk UK August 26, 2008 In the Queen's speech this autumn Gordon Brown's government will announce a scheme to institute a database of every telephone call, email, and act of online usage by every Resident of the UK. It will propose that this information will be gathered, stored, and "made accessible" to the security and law enforcement agencies, local councils, and "other public bodies". This fact should be in equal parts incredible and nauseating. It is certainly enraging and despicable. Not even George Orwell in his most febrile moments could have envisaged a world in which every citizen could be so thoroughly monitored every moment of the day, spied upon, eavesdropped, watched, tracked, followed by CCTV cameras, recorded and scrutinised. Our words and web searches, our messages and intimacies, are to be stored and made available to the police, the spooks, the local council – the local council! – and "other public bodies". This Orwellian nightmare, additionally, is proposed for a world in which leading soi-disant liberal democracies run, and/or permit rendition flights to, Guantanamo Bay. How many steps separate an innocent British citizen from some misinterpretation or interference or error in the collected and 'made accessible' data of text messages and emails, and a forthcoming home-grown version of Guantanamo Bay for people whose pattern of phone calls does not fit the police definition of acceptable? Tw ...
