Leaks of thousands of documents from the White House show that the U.S. and Allied Command, under a 'newspeak' of euphemism often knowingly hit civilian targets in Iraq and Afghanistan, killing thousands of innocent people.
The Times ran a headline about the release by Wikileaks of the 92,000 documents (containing evidence of war crimes by U.S. death squads).
White House embarrassed
by its spills, not by B.P.'s
filthy oil torrents.

Colossal star 22.07.2010.
Chile's Very Large Telescope has found a colossal star, 265 times the mass of the sun and 165,000 light years away.
There are other large stars within the Milky Way, 22,000 light years from the sun.
The Europen Extremely Large Telescope, to be completed in 2018 will be almost half the length of a football field and will gather 15 times as much light as those operating today.
Celebrities are as
dust compared to the biggest
star of the whole show.
Huge telescope and
stars put our nothingness in
perspective and light.

Get tough on the fighters of crime. 30.06.2010.
30.06.2010.
Sir Hugh Orde, President of ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) and a former Police Chief was displeased by the Home Secretary's annual address to the ACPO conference in Manchester yesterday.
Theresa May revealed that cuts across the crime-fighting spectrum meant that public satisfaction targetting would be scrapped. Police needed to just fight crime rather than be seen to be fighting crime, she inferred. Sir Hugh suggested mainstreaming and sharing police resources and scrapping specialist units. 'We just don't have the numbers' he said.
We can't say 'we've got
your number' any more. We
don't have the numbers.
Tough on the Old Bill,
tough on the causes of the
Old Bill, Home Sec. warns.

Gove gives up-we hope! 19.07.2010.
19th July. 2010.
Fifty State schools, rather than the hundreds anticipated by Michael Gove, the Conservative Education Secretary, are on track to becoming 'Academies'. Gove has been rushing through legislation to 'allow' schools to become academies, which would be funded by a blend of public money (yours and mine) religious and charitable funding, parent's organisations and business organisations. These 'new' schools would parasitise the perfectly good 'old ' ones, taking their buildings, their teaching staff and their pupils.
Gove wrote begging letters to Heads of schools in May. Today, teaching unions will lobby Parliament in protest at his plans, which would involve halting the Building For Schools prgramme started by New Labour to rebuild 715 schools.
Gove's Cuckoo pupil
plans may not yet be hatched as
Heads spot intrusion.
Mickey Mouse schools
may flop as Gove is
given Educated miss.

Barracked in Obama and BP 07.07 2010.
07.06.2010.
Barrack Obama, the US president has bunkered himself down into the White House as people's anger turns from BP to him for his hands-off approach and inactivity, for failing to do anything compelling, for fiddling while Rome burns.
Barrack's white-glove White
House bunker posture's a black
day for the whole world.
Obama barracks
self in, has no Plan A, sits
while future darkens.
