With Bush talking up the threat of Iran in the same way he did before illegally invading Iraq we now have the British linking Iran with deaths of British soldiers in Iraq. Who are they trying to kid. With the recent arrest of two British agents in a car filled with explosives in Iraq the British and the world media have decided to point the finger at someone else. Who really believes these lies anymore. It is the British and the US who are behind these attacks on Iraq's civilians and even their own soldiers...
The Australian.
"Six soldiers and two security guards have died in the past three months, all victims of a new explosives technique supplied via Iran, a senior British official said...We cannot be sure" but "there are certain pieces of information that lead us back to Iran," the British Prime Minister said."

Of course the British can't be sure. Because it's a load of bullshit. Just as Iraq having WMD's was bullshit propagated by the press, also Iran's nuclear threat as well. All bullshit.
The US and of course we have to add Britain to this as well are the leading terrorist organisation in the world. Just ask anyone in those countries affected. The US and Britain are quite happy to blow the hell out of it's own soldiers to maintain this hyped up war on terror and as reason to remain in Iraq and the middle east.
"Iraq's Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari has rejected accusations that Shiite Muslim Iran was interfering in Iraq's internal affairs."

Hell the US has even had to go on the defensive about the bird flu as well, by attempting to lie to the world that the Spanish Flu was only recently re-created. Why do they need to do this ? Because they are behind the outbreak just as they were behind the Spanish Flu of 1918.

Who will believe anything that these governments ( Including our own ) say anymore ? Well everyone of course, including a lot of the readers of Perth Indy. With the US intent on nuking Iran and our leaders preparing for military rule care of the bird flu the world is going completely mad. But of course most will be completely oblivious to what is really happening.

* Year-long inquiry attacks failure to change
* Bias remains at institution where inmate died
UK: The prison service will be strongly criticised for continued racial discrimination against ethnic minority inmates by the official report from the Zahid Mubarek inquiry.
The inquiry was set up into the killing of Mr Mubarek who was battered to death by his cell mate, a white racist psychopath, at Feltham youth jail, west London, in March 2000. The expected criticism comes two years after the service promised big improvements after an inquiry by the Commission for Racial Equality found it guilty of unlawful racial discrimination on 17 separate counts. Two internal reports by the prison service catalogue continuing discrimination, poor practice and other failings.
The inquiry, chaired by Mr Justice Keith, will find prison bosses have still failed to implement enough changes after the Mubarek scandal. Mr Mubarek, 19, died just hours before he was due to be released. His killer, Robert Stewart, was violent and racist, yet the two youths were put in the same cell. Stewart, who had RIP tattooed on his forehead, admitted to the inquiry for the first time that racial hatred was a motive in the killing.
Yesterday the year long inquiry ended and has seen the prison service suffer more damaging revelations. Even the prison service's internal reports, passed to the inquiry find widescale continued failings on race despite promises by its most senior managers to crack down on discrimination.
A report by its race equalities adviser found prisons with a swastika daubed on the wall, racist language and "belligerent behaviour" by staff, officers telling racist jokes to white inmates, and claims of bullying and abuse. Staff at one jail were also found to be hostile to the prison services's investigation team which was mostly black. At Portland jail the race equality report found that on the investigator's first day a staff member told them "we're being overrun by you lot." Some staff at Portland saw demands to reform by their bosses as "political correctness from London" .
At Leeds jail staff were"openly" hostile to prison service inspectors. Leeds is being investigated by the prisons ombudsman after an Asian inmate was killed by his white cellmate. According to the report by Beverley Thompson, the segregation wing at Leeds was of most concern: "Some staff were unable to disguise the hostility they felt about race relations."
At the top security Belmarsh jail, where terrorism suspects are held, white inmates complained about the racism of white officers. The white prisoners took offence because some of them were in mixed race relationships.
Even at Feltham itself "an undercurrent of discriminatory behaviours and attitudes" from some staff was found. In evidence to the inquiry the CRE commissioner responsible for checking the prison service lives up to its promises said some governors were unaware of discrimination.
Mohammed Aziz said very senior managers just did not get it: "My big disappointment is that even as I walk the prison today, I still find that there is not the recognition in everyday life, amongst very, very senior prison staff, that there is such a thing as institutional racism in our prisons today.
The inquiry will find that prison service headquarters produce policy on racism that is good or competent, but it is not translated into action at ground level, sources said.
The inquiry's report will be handed to the home secretary in February next year and will be published.
FAQ: Prisons and race
What are the proportions of ethnic minority prisoners and prison officers?
In the decade from 1993 to 2003, the percentage of ethnic minority inmates increased from 16% to 25%. A large part of the increase is due to a rise in incarcerated foreign nationals. Only 5.7% of prison staff are from ethnic minorities, up from 4.9% in 2000, the year Zahid Mubarek was murdered.
How seriously is the Prison Service taking the problem?
The current Prison Service director general and his predecessor have vowed to take tough and effective action. But the Mubarek inquiry report will find that it has not been enough.
How many inquiries into the Zahid Mubarek death have there been?
The inquiry that ended yesterday is the third. The Prison Service held an internal inquiry. That was followed by one from the Commission for Racial Equality. Mubarek's family were unsatisfied by both and demanded the third.
