Bush løj om
masseødelæggelsesvåben
Der er ingen våben, siger tidligere irakisk atomfysiker til
Ekstra Bladet.
- Bush og Blair trækker offentligheden rundt ved næsen
og forsøger at skjule elendige og fejlbehæftede
efterretninger med hule, patriotiske opfordringer.
Dr. Imad Khadduri er ualmindelig kontant og hård i sine
udtalelser. Han afviser blankt, at Irak har skjulte lagre af
masseødelæggelsesvåben.
Dr. Khadduri er formentlig blandt de bedst informerede i verden om
de irakiske våbenprogrammer. Fra 1968 til 98 arbejdede
Khadduri for den irakiske atomenergikommission. Han var indtil den
første golfkrig leder af flere hemmelige
atomvåbenprojekter. I 1998 flygtede Khadduri med sin familie
fra Irak. Han bor i dag i Canada, hvor Ekstra Bladet har fundet
ham.
- Hvad er chancen for, at USA og koalitionsstyrkerne finder
masseødelæggelsesvåben i Irak?
- Lig nul. Der er ingen masseødelæggelsesvåben i
Irak, skriver Ekstra Bladet.

UK HAS FIRST OPERATIONAL-LEVEL EUROPEAN UNION COMMAND
CENTRE
18 June 2003
Jane's Defence Weekly
The UK has developed and installed a new IT system at its Permanent
Joint Headquarters in Northwood, north of London, reports this
week's edition of Jane's Defence Weekly. This technology will
facilitate command-level support for EU military operations and is
the first operational-level EU military headquarters Command
Information System (CIS) to be set up.
This recent development puts the UK ahead of France, Germany, Italy
and Greece, who are still working on their own versions of the
facility - with each to be known as Operational HQs. Ultimately
this technology should facilitate an effective joint EU command.
However the report notes that these new EU command systems are
developing along similar lines to the early ad-hoc joint-staff
arrangements for UK Joint Operations and may suffer the same
problems of rivalry and dispute. "Different CISs were used at each
HQ and there was rivalry over which was the most appropriate HQ
(and by extension, the most appropriate commander) for any
particular operation," states author Giles Ebbutt in the report,
referring to these early command arrangements. "The potential for
similar rivalries to develop in the EU command is
considerable."
Since its installation in January 2003 this UK system has been used
only for contingency planning exercises. However the £1m of
equipment including 205 PC workstations - all provided by prime
contractor EDS - may come into its own when synchronised with
emerging European CISs. Already there is provision for part of the
system to be deployed to Brussels in time of crisis for use by the
EU military staff.

Scottish High Court Quashes Peace Activist's Supervised
Attendance Order - Trident Ploughshares
Today the High Court in Edinburgh quashed a Supervised Attendance Order (SAO)* that had been imposed on peace activist Ulla Røder by a lower court after she had refused to pay a fine incurred for a protest action.
Ulla had made it clear to the Sheriff in Lanark that her refusal to pay the fine was part of her protest and although she would also have told the Sheriff that she would not comply with a SAO her views were not sought. The Sheriff was under the mistaken impression that Lanark was certified for SAOs and that she had no discretion in the matter but was obliged to issue the Order. Appearing for Ulla, solicitor-advocate John Scott argued that the Sheriff would have pursued further lines of enquiry if she had been aware that she had discretion. If the point of a SAO is to keep people out of prison then to impose one which the offender has already said she will breach contradicts this intention, since it would lead to a longer term of imprisonment.
In recognizing Ulla's willingness to submit to jail Lord Marnock said that sometimes principles are more important than expediency. Their Lordships quashed the SAO then continued the hearing for six months as they did not want to impose a custodial sentence while Ulla was already on remand for a different matter.
Trident Ploughshares comment: "If judges are fully aware that someone will breach a SAO then we have to question the motive behind imposing it, since it will lead to a longer prison term. Is it an underhand way of giving us a heavier punishment since the fines themselves and the jail sentences have not deterred us?"
* A Supervised Attendance Order is an Order of a Scottish Criminal Court whereby the person is required to attend a designated place and undertake specified activity for between 10 to 100 hours maximum. It is open to significant variation in interpretation by the local authorities, to whom the oversight of the Orders is delegated, but is generally held to include constructive activities and supervised activities aimed at personal development and rehabilitation. The hours imposed relate to the level of the fine which has not been paid. If the Order is breached a much heavier prison sentence than would have been given for the failure to pay the fine may then be imposed. Under a pilot certain courts due are certified in relation to SAOs and in these courts the judge will have no option but to impose such an Order if an offender defaults on a fine.

I dag kan man læse på tekst-TV i Danmark, at Israel
lukker for forbindelerne til BBC, efter BBC den 28.6.03 sendte en
udsendelse, Israels hemmelige våben, om Mordechai Vanunu, som har
siddet i fængsel siden 1986 efter at have afsløret, at
Israel producerer atommissiler.
