In New Zealand Amongst the Ancient Trees

In the midst of death, life,
in the midst of life, death.
In between there be me
from a time when I held both.
Strange companions
the dead and the dying,
residue of the new clear and un-clear
that come on shuffling feet
with thin grey shadows
on the edge of thought.
Their eyes no longer bearing witness
to a world that lies.
Where even destruction has its limits
and death is accorded a wreath
when it is done in the name of freedom,
just before it is taken through the gates of hell.

Bush 'planning nuclear strike' against Iran

10.04.06
By Raymond Whitaker

The Bush administration has sent undercover forces into Iran, and has stepped up secret planning for a possible major air attack on the country, according to the renowned US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh.

One option under consideration, Mr Hersh reports, involves the possible use of a B61 nuclear "bunker-buster" bomb against Iran's main centrifuge plant, at Natanz.
