offsite link Will Labour Adopt the 10% Limit on Private School University Places? Mon Sep 16, 2024 19:30 | Dr Nicholas Tate
Will Labour adopt a 10% limit on private school admissions at top universities? It would obviously be deeply unfair, but many on the Left believe such top-down quotas are needed to achieve 'justice', says Dr Nicholas Tate.

Max Keiser's Lifestyles of the Rich and Sadistic

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Tuesday June 19, 2007 13:31author by producer Report this post to the editors

Max Keiser's awesome satirical film on the glamorous lifestyle of those on the front line of the War on Terrror. From luxury hotels to private jets and champagne, kidnapping and outsourcing torture on the US taxpayer can be a great way to see the world on 50,000 dollars a day.

In Italy, twenty-six American CIA operatives stand accused of the kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric from the streets of Milan.

The defendants, including an Air Force colonel and two CIA station chiefs, are being tried in absentia at the Milan Palace of Justice for the 2003 abduction of Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, also known as Abu Omar.

The CIA tactic under scrutiny is called 'extraordinary rendition', and it is the first time the CIA will go to trial for its use. 'Extraordinary rendition' involves the capture of a terrorism suspect in one country and his transfer not to the US, but to a third country for interrogation - without court orders or judicial oversight.

The Italian prosecutors claim Nasr was taken to US bases in Italy and Germany before being taken to Cairo, Egypt. Nasr says he was tortured while imprisoned for four years in Cairo.

In many cases, including this one, the suspects have said they were tortured, and their claims are supported by the evidence of international human rights organisations.

For Aljazeera English, Max Keiser, has been on the trail of the kidnappers in Milan, and he reveals how disregarding the rule of law could prove a costly business, but a luxury lifestyle.
