78 DEAD IN THAILAND: Seventy-eight people have suffocated in Thai army trucks after being arrested and crammed in by troops following a mass protest. The protest itself saw six killed when 1500 people gathered outside a police station in Narathiwat where six men suspected of arming Islamic militants were being held.

WELL, YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON EXPERIENCE: The Management and Training Corporation are bidding to run prisons in the UK. Who are they? They're the company who set up Abu Ghraib. Of course, they also have experience of running prisons where the inmates aren't tortured and used for the sadistic pleasure of their captors - their Santa Fe prison in New Mexico was merely lashed for being unsafe and lacking adequate medical facilities. It's unbelievable that this sort of corporation is even sent application forms to apply for this sort of position, much less given serious consideration.

WHO'S GOT FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES: After the extraordinary sight a couple of weeks back of the guy from Jarvis responsible for safety walking away from an attempt to prosecute him following Hatfield because he couldn't be, um, held legally responsible for for safety, the need for a proper corporate manslaughter law surely had become inarguable, right? Jack Straw doesn't seem to think so.

SINCE WHEN DID THE FBI CARRY OUT RAIDS IN THE UK?: Yesterday morning, the FBI basically took down IndyMedia in the UK by issuing a Federal order to rackspace. Rackspace complied, but it's not quite clear what jurisdiction the FBI has over computer equipment held in the UK. Despite what the FBI may think, it doesn't have any legal remit over the UK yet.

THE COST OF THE WAR: It's obvious that the War on Whatever It Was in Iraq is draining lives and cash out of the US, but thanks to the National Priorities Project Americans are now able to find out on a state-by-state basis exactly what the poorly-planned Iraqi adventure is costing them. For example, Colorado has coughed up USD2.3billion and had 13 soldiers killed; South Dakota has had to find USD243 million and had six men killed. And George Bush's home state, Texas, has buried 92 soldiers, and spent some USD11.5 billion. For every year the US stays in Iraq past this Christmas, Texans will be having to find a further USD3.8 billion.
