Where S George: Latest News Updates

The Rev George McKelvie
My father, the Rev George McKelvie, who has died aged 97, was the second conscientious objector in Scotland to be jailed for refusing the second world war call-up. He spent eight months in Barlinnie prison in Glasgow in 1941, and remained a pacifist all his life.George was born in Bellshill, Lanarkshire, the second of three sons. He left school at 16 and worked for 13 years as a printer, but nurtured ambitions to train for the ministry. He graduated from Glasgow University with an MA in 1945, trained at the Scottish Baptist College, and began his first full ministry in 1946 in Fife.He moved south in 1950, anticipating greater receptiveness for his liberal theology and radicalism in England. His five churches in 40 years of ministry were at Leslie in Fife, Loughton in Essex, Luton, Stockport and Stocksfield, Northumberland. In the 1960s, the Baptist Times and the Missionary Herald employed him as an editor.George believed in the power of preaching and delivered clear and concise sermons.

Is it fair to blame Tony Blair and George Bush for continued violence in Iraq– | Michael White
The only people responsible for bombs and bombers in Iraq who blow up innocent civilians are the people who detonate the bombs and those who send them thereAs the tumbrels and the bounty hunters converge on the Chilcot inquiry for Friday’s climactic appearance by Tony Blair it may be worth a backward glance at what’s going on in Iraq nearly seven years after the fateful US-UK invasion.Not much of a backward glance is needed.Today’s papers are full of chilling details of the series of bombs that exploded around Baghdad, killing dozens of people and injuring more than 80 around hotels used by Iraqi elites and foreigners ” including US and British media ” in the city centre.Some speculation suggests they were detonated to mark the belated execution of Ali Hassan al-Majid, the butcher of Halabja in 1988 ” though few are likely to mourn Chemical Ali, whose brutality did his own Ba’ath-Sunni cause immense harm.There again, another theory points to the elections scheduled for 7 March. And bombs always frighten away potential foreign investors, an urgent problem for Iraq ” outside the oil sector ” as it struggles to restore an economy ravaged by war and decades of incompetent top-down management.Were al-Qaida or Ba’athists to blame– The Guardian’s Martin Chulov reports today that “the Iraqi government’s oft-repeated accusation that former Ba’athists have been stirring the violence now looks a lot stronger”.That accentuates a problem for the Shia-dominated government of Nouri al-Maliki who led an “Iraq is open for Business” delegation to Washington only last month. His State of Law coalition is competing for Shia votes with the Iraq National Alliance, identified with the radical cleric, Moqtada al-Sadr.As such, Maliki is sometimes accused of being “soft” on Ba’athist and ex-Saddam security apparatchiks who still wield influence in Sunni regions. Some 500 alleged Ba’athist candidates have been disqualified ahead of the March elections ” and the US is involved in haggling its way to a compromise that would allow many of them to stand.In a week when Sinn FÃ©in and the Democratic Unionists, both with unsavoury pasts (is Ian Paisley a “radical cleric” do you suppose–) are haggling over power-sharing at Stormont and outside parties are urging common sense (or is it party advantage–) we should not be too sniffy. Deeply-entrenched sectarian habits are hard to discard.Back to those Baghdad bombs. Their passage through the security lines was made easier by removed concrete barriers (a sign of growing confidence) and allegedly dud bomb detectors sold to Iraq in large quantities by a British firm, whose boss is now helping police with inquiries.Are these bombings the fault of Tony Blair and George Bush– Yes, cry the bounty hunters and the tumbrel crowd.

Wanted: Tony Blair for war crimes. Arrest him and claim your reward | George Monbiot
Chilcot and the courts won’t do it, so it is up to us to show that we won’t let an illegal act of mass murder go unpunishedThe only question that counts is the one that the Chilcot inquiry won’t address: was the war with Iraq illegal– If the answer is yes, everything changes. The war is no longer a political matter, but a criminal one, and those who commissioned it should be committed for trial for what the Nuremberg tribunal called “the supreme international crime”: the crime of aggression.But there’s a problem with official inquiries in the United Kingdom: the government appoints their members and sets their terms of reference. It’s the equivalent of a criminal suspect being allowed to choose what the charges should be, who should judge his case and who should sit on the jury. As a senior judge told the Guardian in November: “Looking into the legality of the war is the last thing the government wants. And actually, it’s the last thing the opposition wants either because they voted for the war. There simply is not the political pressure to explore the question of legality ” they have not asked because they don’t want the answer.”Others have explored it, however.

George Dohrmann: U.S. leaves plenty of room for improvement before World Cup
CARSON, Calif. — Bob Bradley wouldn’t even try. Asked to single out a player who performed well in Saturday night’s 3-1 loss (RECAP) to Honduras at the Home Depot Center, the U.S. national team coach said it “won’t be a game where we will be picking out players who stood out.” Down a man from the 17th minute forward, after center back Jimmy Conrad received his second yellow card, and down a goal only two minutes later, the U.S. never got settled. Poorly weighted passes, miscommunication and loose marking, only two shots on goal — it was a night of lowlights for the U.S..
