Judge Eases Jail For Terror Trial 12 -- THE 12 defendants in Australia's largest terrorism prosecution are not getting a fair trial, the judge overseeing the case has said. The startling admission came as Justice Bernard Bongiorno said the conditions under which the accused are being held are so severe they could cause mental illness and jeopardise their ability to defend themselves. In a ruling he described as "extraordinary'', Justice Bongiorno ordered the men be moved to a new prison and called for their conditions to be upgraded.

Library Designed To Stir Up Jihad, Says Prosecutor -- An article praising the September 11 hijackers and videos of Muslim extremists beheading hostages were found in raids on a home-grown terror cell, a court heard yesterday. A "common library" of terror manuals and videos was shared by group members and was designed to stir them up to commit violent jihad, prosecutor Richard Maidment, SC, said. |

Muslim 12 Deny Terror Charges In Australia -- Twelve Muslim men accused of preparing to launch attacks in Australia pleaded not guilty to a string of terrorism-related charges amid tight security in the Supreme Court here Wednesday. Their alleged leader, cleric Abdul Nacer Benbrika, 47, had suggested during taped telephone calls that a bombing where the maximum loss of life could be inflicted, such as at a football ground, could be suitable. Benbrika taught the group that it was "permissible to kill women, children and the aged" in the cause of violent jihad or holy war. |

Obama's First Coming -- Obama is part politician, part cult. Supporters wearing T-shirts with an Andy Warhol like pop-art image of his face testify to that. But then they - him - were once easy to dismiss until people realised Obama's charisma was being matched by one of the most sophisticated ground operations ever seen. It is one that is outsmarting the Clinton machine. He's marrying inspiration and cult with old-fashioned political grunt. |

An Enemy in Belief -- Six years after the 9/11 attacks on the US, Western societies remain psychologically and politically ill-equipped to manage the Islamist terrorist threat with its ability to mutate, spread and to spontaneously erupt. While al-Qa'ida is probably weaker than before September 2001, the trends are grim: in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Middle East and within Western democracies, notably Britain, where the foiled doctors plot in London and Glasgow has links of some sort to Australia. |

Her Majesty would have known that bestowing a knighthood on Rushdie would also elevate him to the world's biggest collector of Islamic death edicts. The question was whether this time the West would do a better job of defending itself. So far the signs are good. |
