Venezuela has proof Washington was behind failed coup, general A senior Venezuelan army general said the government of the South American country has proof the United States was involved in a short-lived coup against President Hugo Chavez last year. Army Gen. Melvin Lopez, secretary of Venezuela's National Defence Council, said Tuesday "proof exists" the U.S. administration was involved in the mid-April putsch. He declined to give further details. "We have the evidence," Lopez said during an interview broadcast by Venezuela's state-run television channel.

Soldiers and police face trial over dirty war on IRA Britain's role in a secret “dirty war” against the IRA could lead to the prosecution of several senior army and police figures at the heart of covert operations. The Times has learnt that Sir John Stevens’s report on Northern Ireland will confirm Republican suspicions about the way that the police and Army operated in the Province for almost two decades.

British double-agent was in Real IRA's Omagh bomb team Security forces didn't intercept the Real IRA's Omagh bombing team because one of the terrorists was a British double-agent whose cover would have been blown as an informer if the operation was uncovered. The security forces were forced to hope that their agent would provide them with intelligence to ensure that the bomb would go off without casualties. In the event, due to blundered telephone warnings, 29 people died on August 15 1998.

Parallel Universes Not just a staple of science fiction, other universes are a direct implication of cosmological observations. The simplest and most popular cosmological model today predicts that you have a twin in a galaxy about 10 to the 1028 meters from here. This distance is so large that it is beyond astronomical, but that does not make your doppelgänger any less real.

CNN.COM Makes Public Premature Obits CNN inadvertently gave the Internet-surfing public a chance to preview how the network's web site would note the demise of Vice President Dick Cheney, Ronald Reagan, and a few other prominent figures.

The Video That Proves 9-11 Was Not A Surprise George Bush claimed to have seen the first plane hit the World Trade Tower on TV before going into a school room to read to some children. This is strange because there was no video of the first impact until a day later, when a video shot by a documentary film crew that captured the first impact surfaced. Stranger was Bush's reaction on being told of the second impact by Andy Card. There was none. Bush simply went on visiting with the school children and reading a story to them. For twenty minutes. Far more telling than Bush's reaction is that of Mr. Card himself who, as can be seen in the above clip, steps in to inform Bush of the second impact, then immediately steps back without waiting for a reply. Bush's job is to make decisions. How does Mr. Card know that Bush will not make one then and there? Ostensibly, Bush and Card are reacting to a surprise attack, but Bush does not act surprised, and Andy Card does not act like a man delivering an unexpected piece of news but instead is merely delivering a progress report to which he already knows Bush will not have an immediate response.

So who really did save Private Jessica? The rescue of Private Jessica Lynch, which inspired America during one of the most difficult periods of the war, was not the heroic Hollywood story told by the US military, but a staged operation that terrified patients and victimised the doctors who had struggled to save her life, according to Iraqi witnesses.

Will Genetic Engineering Kill Us? Bioethicists and scientists contemplating the future fear that genetic engineering and other technologies are going to divide human beings into classes that may one day try to destroy one another. Rich, powerful people will use technology to make their kids smarter, they say. The poor and the disenfranchised, meanwhile, will become a kind of subhuman servant class, like the Yahoos in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels.

CIA's 'brightest prospect' for Iraq presidency missing Former army chief facing war crimes trial in Denmark As Iraqis begin talks to form a transitional government, the highest- ranking military man ever to defect from the country is conspicuously absent. Three weeks ago, former Iraqi army Chief of Staff Nizar Khazraji disappeared from Denmark, where he was under house arrest after being charged with war crimes for his part in military attacks in the 1980s that resulted in the deaths of some 180,000 Iraqi Kurds. As recently as March 2002, Khazraji was touted as the CIA's pick for the presidency of Iraq after Saddam Hussein's removal.

The USS Cole bombing against the backdrop of Israeli "Black Propaganda" Operations Many in the Arab and Muslim communities in the United States are inclined to suppose that Israel may be responsible for the terror-bombing of the USS Cole in the Yemen port city of Aden on October 13. Although few Americans would suspect Israel, a trusted U.S. ally, of such a dastardly act, they may well be wrong while better informed and more experienced Arab and Muslim observers may be correct.

Company Chosen By Pentagon To Extinguish Iraqi Oil Well Fires Has History Of Supporting Terrorist Regimes Kellogg Brown & Root, the company chosen last month by the Pentagon to extinguish oil well fires in Iraq, has a long history of supporting the same terrorist regimes vilified by the Bush administration and on at least one occasion defrauded the United States government to the tune of $2 million, according to public documents.
