Monsanto protest attracts 2,000 in Las Vegas
Protesters rallied in Nevada as part of a global protest against seed giant Monsanto and the genetically modified food it produces.
“March Against Monsanto” protests Saturday drew some 2,000 protesters in Las Vegas and about 150 in Reno.
Las Vegas protesters marched about one mile down Las Vegas Boulevard to the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, while Reno protesters chanted and waved placards as they marched through downtown Reno.
Genetically modified plants are grown from seeds that are engineered to resist insecticides and herbicides, and to improve crop yields.
Most corn, soybean and cotton crops grown in the U.S. today have been genetically modified. But critics say genetically modified organisms can lead to serious health conditions and harm the environment.
Monsanto Co. says it respects people’s rights to express their opinion on the topic, but maintains that its seeds improve agriculture.

Berto Jongman: CIA Rendition Flights Over 11,000 in Number, Over 1,600 Landed in UK

‘Conclusive proof' CIA torture flights landed at Scottish airports
Investigators believe they have found “conclusive” new proof that CIA-linked planes landed regularly in Scottish airports as part of the “extraordinary rendition” programme.
The three airports which it is claimed were used as part of the “war on terror” are Aberdeen, Inverness and Wick. A study, conducted by two academics at UK universities, found that 13 flights to these airports may have been involved in the US security service's controversial “extraordinary rendition” programme. Extraordinary rendition was used by the US Government in the years after the September 11 attacks. It involved the secret kidnapping, detention and transfer of terror suspects to other countries for interrogation and alleged torture.
Sam Raphael of Kingston University in London, developed the Rendition Project with Ruth Blakely, from Kent University. He said: “The Rendition Project database provides conclusive evidence that airports in the north of Scotland were visited by numerous CIA planes at the height of the rendition and secret-detention programme.” The project revealed data which shows five flights with CIA links landed at Wick and Inverness, with a further three landing at Aberdeen International Airport. New details released by the study describe the planes and routes, showing that several went on to land in locations where it is claimed that terror suspects were being held in secret prisons.
The study claims to cast a new light on the operations, and has identified 11,006 flights suspected of being involved in rendition. More than 1600 of these are thought to have landed in the UK.
