| Torture Shredded? 'UK govt can't deny propaganda war' | |
| From: RussiaToday | 05 October 2010 | The UK\\\'s Ministry of Defence has admitted that electronic records of its soldiers day-to-day activities in Afghanistan are routinely wiped from computers. One lawyer has already said it smacks of a cover up. The disclosures were made at the public inquiry into the death of an Iraqi hotel receptionist. Baha Mousa died from multiple injuries while in the custody of British soldiers in 2003. An MoD statement to the inquiry said there are gaps in the information because IT systems are routinely wiped when returned from operational deployments. Jim Brann from the Stop the War Coalition says that cover-ups for mishandled operations in Afghanistan may be even worse than those in Iraq. | |

| Uncle Sam Wants Your DNA: Privacy a price to pay for travel ticket? | |
| RussiaToday | 06 October 2010 | Anger is growing in Europe about new Washington data sharing demands, in what they call a move to stop potential terrorists from entering the U.S. The requirements include fingerprints, DNA samples and cross border payments - data considered by many as private and sensitive. Travellers from countries refusing to share the information will have to apply for a visa to enter the U.S. However some EU states - like Austria and Germany - have already agreed to hand over the personal data of its citizens. In June the EU and the United States signed the so-called SWIFT deal, giving American government officials access to all bank transactions within Europe. Eva Lichtenberger - an Austrian politician and member of the European Parliament - says there are no guarantees the data won\\\'t be misused if provided. | |

| Americans too distracted to tackle crisis: Economist Richard Wolff compares the US movement to the European one | |
| RTAmerica | 04 October 2010 Tackling the crisis -- European v. US economic directions -- What are the differences? Who has it right? Protests, rallies and new policies are popping up both in the United States and in Europe, but the two are perusing different paths. Economist Richard Wolff compares the US movement to the European one, and finds the European workers to be more advanced in their struggle. He argued that although Europe is more diverse than the US, they are more united than Americans when it comes to speaking out against government policies and the economic crisis. He explained that Americans are simply too distracted and lack the tools to speak out with a solid voice on specific economic issues. | |
