No excuse for attacking Iran, says former British minister London,

Former British Energy Secretary Tony Benn warned Wednesday that there was no moral or legal basis for the US or its proxy Israel to attack Iran for refusing to abandon its nuclear power program.

"We would be told that it had been done to uphold the principles of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) - an argument that does not stand up to a moment's examination," said Benn.

He warned that US President George W Bush was the "real threat" by not ruling out an attack on Iran, saying the Middle East faces a crisis that could "dwarf even the dangers arising from the war in Iraq."
"Even a conventional weapon fired at a nuclear research center - whether or not a bomb was being made there - would almost certainly release radioactivity into the atmosphere, with consequences seen worldwide as a mini-Hiroshima," the veteran politician said.

As Britain's first Energy Secretary during the 1970s, he revealed that he himself had been under "enormous pressure" to sell nuclear power stations to Iran under the shah's regime.

2. Cheney busy?

some one was wondering -earlier where cheney has been- well I remember these concerns being discussed a while ago- Prison Planet I think had some info on this.
"The American Conservative Magazine originally claimed Cheney had already ordered the Stategic Command (STRATCOM) to prepare contingency plans for a conventional and tactical nuclear strike against hundreds of targets in Iran in the event of a “new 9/11-style attack on the U.S.
...LaRouche then verified it with reports from highly qualified Congressional and military sources, who have confirmed the essential elements of the original story,adding the Iran plans are not merely contingency studies, but..policy intentions of Cheney."

I am curious what folks think concerning Larouch, and this web site as well. I don't know enough about them.
Also some interesting articles concerning Wayne Madsen and threats on his or perhaps other activists lives including 911 truth seekers. lives.http://www.arcticbeacon.com/page/page/1518131.htm

3. When it happens (not if, but when), I am outta' here!!!

If I have to swim dragging my son by his collar to Canada, I am outta' here. The only hope I see of blocking the BushCO/neoCON plan for global control is the issuance of indictments against the heart of their cabal.

4. Able Danger and more on threats on Wayne Madson's life.

even repubs want it investigated
I head even Rick Santroum (very conservative) might look into it.

"...ironic that Madsen’s report of an attempt to steal the election didn’t result in a reported “hit” on Madsen, yet now, when Madsen has a website that points to Bush family involvement in Bin Laden heroin money flows, a “hit” is reportedly put out on Madsen. Is this because the Able Danger story now shows that Bush’s people knew that Atta was Al Queda BEFORE 9- 11? " http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2005/08/1718841.php

Wow, lots of details here. Money trails, many of the ususal players. etc.
