SPOKEN POLITICS

• LIVE 8 is not the panacea that Bob Geldof makes it out to be.

• Hilarious idiocy from 2003 US Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld. And you always thought knowledge was a continuum, yet apparently it is a 2x2 matrix!
  • LoFi, small size:96kB or
  • LowerFi, tiny size:48kB
  • And text version of more "Rummy" poems here

• CIA intelligence re Iraq (size:2.0MB). A streaming version is at Radio National. Ex-CIA Larry Johnson supports CIA Director George Tenet's comment that "[analysts] never said there was an imminent threat". The Bush admin has been extensively quoted interpretting it otherwise. Howard, Australia's PM to this day keeps scapegoating the CIA. Hear "Honest John" (lofi, small 64kB). Incidently, it is ironic (heh heh:) but Johnson is himself a war-mongerer quoted in the LA Times.

• GW Bush on WMD issue (lofi, tiny size:105kB) normally swaggering but here faltering and stumbling (finally!). It is an excerpt from a (brief but worthwhile) Radio National Australia report.

• Depleted Uranium Weapons (size:4.7MB) used in combat by USA; and references at Radio National.
