Amnesty exposes Israel's war crimes
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2006/681/681p24.htm>

On August 23, human rights group Amnesty International accused Israel of
committing war crimes. Amnesty said that the pattern and scope of
Israel's bombing campaign in Lebanon, statements by Israeli officials
and the scale of damage inflicted on civilian infrastructure ``indicated
that such destruction was deliberate and part of a military strategy,
rather than 'collateral damage''. [Full article]

Oil companies are raking-in record profits, while most working people in
Australia are paying more for transport and groceries. The plan that PM
John Howard announced on August 14 -- ostensibly to ease the impact of
high petrol prices on ordinary motorists -- will instead further line the
pockets of the big oil companies, including with a direct subsidy of
$100 million for on- and off-shore oil and gas exploration. [Full
