The value of lifeCongratulations to the two miners, Todd and Brant, and to their rescuers. Their survival is a complex fantastic story at the forefront of human endurance, good luck, planning and great community spirit. The media reports on the unfolding events were in general quite good. The various outlets, print and TV, have a complex dynamic of necessarily reporting the news as it happens as well as the ingrained urge to corner the grand prize without offending too many people. Checkbook journalism for exclusive interviews has never been a proper way towards "objectivity" (a journalist who believes in objectivity is deluded anyway — as no matter what, the reporting always become part of the calculated importance of the story) but in some circumstances cheque book journalism can help victims or accidental subjects...
Pine Gap Guides Missiles To OsamaAustralia's Pine Gap base was used to send 32 cruise missiles at Osama Bin Laden. The missiles failed to kill the Al Qaeda leader as he had left the target site approximately twenty minutes earlier. International affairs commentator and policy advisor Mr Keith Suiter said on Adelaide radio this morning that the US surveillance installation at PIne Gap assisted in monitoring Bin Laden's satellite phone call to his mother and pinpointing his location for the missile attack. Speaking on ABC 891 Mr Suiter said that one of the problems with the plan was that many of the missiles destroyed each other while attempting to strike the same target.

Hicks Blair Citizenship Appeal RejectedHe's a step closer.. David Hicks right to British citizenship has been upheld by the UK courts. A final appeal against Hick's eligibility has been rejected, clearing all legal barriers against Hicks claim. The application for UK citizenship was made after a chance remark made by the Adelaide-resident Guantanemo inmate to his military lawyer, while discussing the Ashes cricket game in London, that his mother was British. David's father Terry said from Adelaide today that the only real barrier for his son now was that it would be difficult for him to take the citizenship oath while being held in Guantanemo.

Did You Meet Scott Parkin While He Was In Australia? You Can Help HimParkin , to refresh your memory, was the Halliburton protester deported because ASIO knew that the Pentagon had a file on him. Embarrasingly for ASIO the file was of Parkin handing out peanut butter sandwiches as a means of protest. Parkin's Australian legal team and his support group want to hear from those who met the man while he was here. Your written testimony that Parkin acted non-violently during his sojourn here wiould help to prove his innocence. Parkin was detained at a Melbourne coffee shop while on his way to help present a workshop on passive non-violent resistance techniques. The Federal Police and Immigration officers placed him in solitary confinement, then flew him to Los Angeles in the company of two Australian Immigration officers.
