Hicks case exposes `war on terror' sham
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/2007/705/36634>
After five years of solitary confinement in a small metal cell, David
Hicks pleaded guilty on March 26 to one of the two charges brought
against him by US military prosecutors on March 1, to finally get out of
the notoriously brutal US military prison at Guantanamo Bay. Hicks’s
case has revealed just what a sham the US-led “war on terror” really is.

Oppose Labor’s uranium push!
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/2007/705/36624>
In the lead-up to the April 27-29 ALP national conference in Sydney, a
number of federal Labor frontbenchers and state premiers have declared
themselves in favour of scrapping the party’s “no new mines” policyin
favour of an unrestricted expansion of uranium mining. This push — which
ignores the views of a majority of Australians and the extreme dangers
inherent in uranium mining and the nuclear cycle that it is part of —
reflects booming prices for the mineral on the world market. However, a
number of trade unions have opposed the policy change and vowed to fight
it at the conference.
