March 23, 2010

This is an update on the assasination of Mahmud al-Mabhouh in a Dubai hotel room on January 20. Our past story about it is here, along with video.

Video from the stories below  may be found here from CNN.

From CNN:

London, England (CNN) – There are “compelling reasons” to believe the Israeli government was responsible for forging British passports used in a plot to kill a Hamas leader in the United Arab Emirates earlier this year, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said Tuesday.

“Such misuse of British passports is intolerable,” Miliband said, adding that the fact that Israel was an ally of the United Kingdom “only adds insult to injury.”

The passports were “copied from genuine British passports” in a “highly sophisticated operation,” indicating a government was behind it, Miliband told the House of Commons.

Nato will send 5,000 more troops to Afghanistan, says Brown

PM paves way for US troop surge in Afghanistan, saying he has assurances from Nato countries

source: Guardian UK

Gordon Brown paved the way today for the announcement next Tuesday of a large US troop surge in Afghanistan by saying he had received assurances from Nato countries that they would contribute an extra 5,000 troops.

The assurances are significant because both Brown and Barack Obama have said they will not commit more of their own troops unless there are increases in other Nato troop numbers.

There was some confusion in Nato circles as to the source of Brown’s optimism that the number of troops could rise by 5,000, but the prime minister’s spokesman said his assessment came after discussions with 10 coalition partners.

Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing is reporting some leaked legislation from the UK government that would remove any kind of freedom or privacy that the Internet grants its users.

Full Page Newspaper Ad for Nov. 2 Meeting in London with Niels Harrit and Others

November 2, 2009

source: Reinvestigate 9/11

The ad is due to run in the Independent, the UK’s most serious newspaper, read by MPs and others in the elite. These people have the greatest difficulty accepting that 9/11 was most likely some sort of an inside job, so we have been careful not to go an inch beyond the provable facts.

source: Al Jazeera 
 
A key aide to Bob Ainsworth, the UK defence secretary, has resigned and criticised the UK’s mission in Afghanistan.

Eric Joyce, the now former parliamentary private secretary to Ainsworth, vacated his post on Thursday and said that there were “problems” with the handling of the war that needed “fixing with the greatest urgency“.

“I do not think the public will accept for much longer that our losses can be justified by simply referring to the risk of greater terrorism on our streets,” he said in a resignation letter.

One crime solved for every 1,000 CCTV cameras, senior officer claims

August 26, 2009

Here in the United States cameras have been introduced to us slower than in the UK. We have too many patriots, or , people who don’t like to Big Brothers breath following on each step. Cameras in the States have been introduced as red-light-runner catcher’s. The cameras are installed at intersections in order to “catch” a photo of someone who speeds through a red light. This seems innocent and well meaning, but what is the long run of this? Blimps in the air monitoring our movements, illegal wiretapping, complete surveillance? Oh yeah, we pretty much have all that forming right now…. -ed

 A senior Scotland Yard officer, Detective Chief Inspector Mick Neville, warned police must do more to head off a crisis in public confidence over the use of surveillance cameras.

DCI Neville said officers need to improve their results to make captured images count against criminals.

He said there are more than a million CCTV cameras in London and the Government has spent £500 million on the crime-fighting equipment.

But he admitted just 1,000 crimes were solved in 2008 using CCTV images as officers fail to make the most of potentially vital evidence.
