....The officials declined to say what kind of weapons were found or how many. They also would not be specific about where or when the incident occurred. It was unclear whether this was the same ship which Haaretz reported had been apprehended by the Cypriot authorities. Officials in Washington said the search was conducted as part of the U.S. Navy's normal maritime security role in regional waters that stretch from the Arabian Sea to the Mediterranean. The U.S. officials said the arms could not be shown to violate U.N. weapons sanctions against Iran and the vessel was allowed to continue on to Syria.....
have you tranlatesd the ship? its clearly not Iranian?
Greek Cypriot or Eastern European I'd say _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

JERUSALEM, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Cypriot authorities have detained an Iranian ship en route to Syria with a cargo of weapons, Israel's Haaretz newspaper reported on Friday.
Quoting a European Union diplomatic source, it said Cyprus had acted after Israel and the United States requested that the Cypriot-flagged vessel be stopped

Have you noticed how the BBC has, through the repetition of propaganda lies, got us all used to the idea that the Palestinians have no right to bring anything in or out of the tunnels, PARTICULARLY weapons. And no right to self-defence.
It must be a long time, maybe two generations since they had a look at the UN Charter article 51.
The UN Charter wrote:
Article 51
Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.

http://centrepointnews.com/?p=1309 Proposed legislation in Congress would set up camps for U. S. citizens
By the Editor from news agency sources
A bill proposed by Florida Democrat Alcee Hastings would set up a series of emergency centres on U. S. military installations. House Resolution 645 provides that no fewer than six such centres will be built and would give emergency aid, housing and relief services for citizens during a time of disaster or national emergency.
Even though the intend of the bill sounds humanitarian, the provision listed in Section Two, Paragraph B-4 raises the most questions. The wording reads…
The wording of the bill doesn’t define ‘appropriate needs’, nor does it specify why the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for administration of the bill’s various provisions.
Some commentators wonder about the bill’s true purpose in the same breath that they talk about recession-related riots in Lithuania, Greece and other western countries. There is concern that the move to return combat-ready military units to the U. S. is a step towards making these centres ‘concentration camps’ for American citizens.
Writing on this legislation, Representative Ron Paul says that the bill would supplement other ‘emergency powers’ granted to the federal government since 9/11 and be the mechanism for imposing martial law. Paul says some questions need to be asked…
‘With this in mind, it appears as if these so called national emergency centers will be used in a national emergency but only if the national emergency requires large groups of people to be rounded up and detained. If that isn’t the case, than why have these national emergency facilities built in military installations?’
In an internet search for information on the proposed bill, most sites merely provide the text of the legislation. Little commentary and explanation has been offered.
At this time, Representative Hastings’ own web site doesn’t list the legislation on the legislation page.
The bill has been assigned to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
