You can hardly open a newspaper these days without finding the latest revelations about how the White House and American intelligence failed to interpret signs that the September 11th attack was being prepared. Eleven months after that day, discussions about 'security' seem to have stalled within that very narrow framework.

Cerne Abbas chalk giant

The ancient Cerne Abbas chalk giant in Dorset joined the StopEsso campaign this morning after supporters placed a banner in his hand saying "I'VE GOT THE BALLS TO BOYCOTT ESSO." 

The well-endowed giant's proclamation is part of an international StopEsso week, which has already seen protests across the globe. It finishes in the UK on Saturday, with around 4000 people joining events outside one quarter (over 400) of Esso's garages to give its customers one clear message: DON'T BUY ESSO!

"Esso doesn't give a damn about global warming. But the Giant, along with thousands of people across the UK this Saturday, is standing up to the way this company is paying for George Bush's climate policy," said Cindy Baxter StopEsso Campaign Coordinator.

Summary
The latest of Exxon's outrageous dirty tricks to distort climate science, this memo demands the Bush administration to oust the head of the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - a supposedly independent panel. Exxon are unhappy with Dr Robert Watson because he has spoken out in the past about the need to tackle global warming. He has also criticised the US for failing to meet environmental targets.

Menwith Hill spy base, North Yorkshire

To make Star Wars (National Missile Defence) work, President Bush needs to use two key US military installations in Britain. These are the Fylingdales early warning station in Yorkshire, and the nearby Menwith Hill spy base.

Consequently, Tony Blair has a real opportunity to stop Star Wars in its tracks, and do the global community a huge favour.
