... decades of autocratic misrule. ' I wonder how long it took him to come up with 'autocratic misrule' as a description of the fate of the peoples of Guatemala and Iran after the Americans installed their puppet regimes. To call what transpired in Iran and Guatemala 'autocratic misrule' goes beyond euphemism to deception. Tens of thousands of people were murdered in Guatemala in the 1970s and 80s by death squads trained and armed by the US. And 'the threat of communism' in Guatemala wasn't 'tendentious': it was an invention to justify overthrowing the government. Would we call the brutality of Iran's SAVAK 'autocratic misrule'? Can't we admit that the US installed and supported a whole parade ...

Following a 'cold case review' by West Mercia Constabulary in 2002, a Shrewsbury labourer, Andrew George, was charged with her kidnap and murder in June 2003. In February 2004 two more men were arrested in connection with the case, only to be released the following day, 'pending further inquiries'. The two men were not named. George pleaded not guilty at Birmingham Crown Court in March and a further hearing was scheduled for April 2004. Since then, silence. ...

... purposely been made more complex than the reality deserves and the above statement should be held in mind whenever reading this book. It is quite fair to say that everything I read or see about developments in North-ern Ireland has been given a new pers-pective. It is one that shows conclusively that the British government colluded with the murder of lawyers sympathetic to the republican cause in that province. Their names may be familiar: Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson. The question revealed for us all is, how far has the cornerstone of our democ-racy crumbled? In a work of impeccable scholarship, a heavy but rewarding read, Beatrix Campbell has described not only the ...

... the television portrayal of government or war was for all intents and purposes its essence. What was not seen on television – never happened. It is necessary to bear this in mind when reviewing the events of the past weeks. The vicious and obscene snuff- movie broadcast throughout the world in which the conquest of Libya is consummated by Qaddafi's murder was not accidental. When Ronald Reagan called Qaddafi a 'mad dog' he was following a carefully honed script. This 'mad dog' imagery – that of an animal infected with rabies who can only be 'put down' – is the language of the West, the language of slaughtering Native Americans and making trophies out of their body parts ...

... This conclusion was bolstered by the two paramedics who attended the scene who reported that there was very little blood either on Kelly's body or on the surroundings. ( [2 ] ) In America, the British barrister Michael Shrimpton was interviewed on the Alec Jones radio programme ( [3 ] ) where he stated: 'David [Kelly] was murdered on the 17th. On Saturday the 19th, within 48 hours of the murder, I was contacted by a British intelligence officer who told me he'd been murdered. That didn't take me by surprise, I was suspicious of the suicide theory from the word go. Now that source told me he'd done some digging and discovered that he ...

... the claims he makes. There are no sources and no index. And with material as tricky as SAS assassination squads, for example, documentation, even if it is scanty, is essential. Instead of documentation we get stuff like this (taken from p69 after opening the book at random). The emphases are mine. Discussing the murder of one Eamon McMahon, McArdle says: "McMahon, a debonair type, was a Republican from a fiercely Nationalist family. He was generally recognised as a shadowy paramilitary activist by the security forces. He had identified himself with the IRA in South Armagh in the early 1970s, but in later years he was involved with the INLA ...
