Military? or Hollywood? It's hard to tell the difference
She has amnesia?? how convenient!
In the 1998 film "Wag the Dog," political operatives employ special editing techniques to create phony footage that will engender public sympathy for a manufactured war. Now we find that in 2003 the real-life Pentagon's ability and willingness to manipulate the facts make Hollywood's story lines look tame.

Buh bye, Ari
Why Ari Should Have Resigned in Protest
At the White House today, Ari Fleischer announced that he will resign as press secretary to President Bush effective in July. Ari says he has spent 21 years in government, he never intended to spend the rest of his life in government, he's recently married and wants to spend some time with his wife, he wants to do some speaking and writing and take it a little easier.

THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW WHAT ABU ABBAS DID TO MY FAMILY
Abu Abbas, the former head of a Palestinian terrorist group who was captured in Iraq on April 15, is infamous for masterminding the 1985 hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro. But there are probably few who remember why Abbas's terrorists held the ship and its 400-plus passengers hostage for two days.

Techno-tyranny in dev: walk ID system for TIA
As with the previously posted article on GPS tracking devices, now small enough to be implanted like a pacemaker, this new technology for identifying people by their walk brings us one step closer to a technological tyranny, an Orwellian nightmare where every individual can be monitored at every moment. The Total Information Awareness system now in development, led by John Poindexter of all people, is an important part of the coming system. The main question for us all to ask is "Do we trust our government with this much power?" If you like George Bush, then ask yourself if you would trust Clinton with it. Time is short, my friends.

Big Brother Is Tracking You. Without a Warrant.
Allowing the police to plant such devices on suspects without a warrant troubles many. "Do we really want the ability to track everybody all the time, without any suspicion, or without probable cause?" asked a lawyer, Doug Klunder, in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer last week. "How close are we to Big Brother?" On Tuesday, the Washington Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether a warrant should be required to secretly track a person's movements using a G.P.S. device.

It is strongly suspected that Rwanda and Uganda have fanned the flames of a centuries old rivalry that arises more from the conflict between pastoral and ranching communities than from ethnicity. The two countries are accused of exploiting the natural resources of DRC in the shadow of the ethnic battles.

American soldiers vandalise ancient city of Ur
One of the greatest wonders of civilisation, and probably the world's most ancient structure - the Sumerian city of Ur in southern Iraq - has been vandalised by American soldiers and airmen, according to aid workers in the area.
Walls have been damaged by spray-painted graffiti, mostly patriotic or other slogans, and regimental mottos. Other reports by groups who cannot be named for fear of losing access to medical patients being treated on the base say there has been widespread stealing of clay bricks baked to build and restore the structures at Ur.

"Democracy, the modern world's holy cow, is in crisis ... every kind of outrage is being committed in the name of democracy. It has become little more than a hollow word, a pretty shell, emptied of all content or meaning," she said. "Democracy is the Free World's whore, willing to dress up, dress down, willing to satisfy a whole range of tastes, available to be used and abused at will."
Free elections, a free press and an independent judiciary mean little when the free market means they are on sale to the highest bidder, she said.

Disorder deepens in 'liberated' Baghdad
The official in charge of civilian reconstruction efforts in Iraq, retired Lt. Gen. Jay Garner, is being replaced by L. Paul Bremer, a former State Department counterterrorism chief. Baghdad's de facto mayor, Barbara Bodine, was also scheduled to leave her post as US coordinator for central Iraq Sunday.
Security in Baghdad, the top of everybody's list of priorities, including the Americans', is deteriorating. Gunfire is heard more often than it was two weeks ago, thieves drag drivers from their cars in broad daylight, and looters continue to steal whatever is left from public buildings in full view of passers by.

"Many politicians lack a moral imperative today. They act as though they haveno options because the economy dictates conditions. This is not true. Politicians can still make decisions in the interests of many, not in the interests of a few.. Admitting that some of their dogmas are completely insubstantial is hard for market fundamentalists.." Ms. Hertz became a Cambridge professor economics at 30. By clicking on the German website, you can see a photograph of the life-giving anti-globalization star.

50 year study shows ocean fish disappearing fast
A global survey spanning nearly half a century reveals a 90 percent plunge in the population of large ocean fish, from tuna to cod, since commercial fishing vessels took to the high seas, Canadian researchers reported Wednesday.
With their numbers decreasing by as much as 80 percent in 15 years, the depleted communities could crash delicately balanced ecosystems, with unknown worldwide consequences, the surveyors of pelagic creatures warned.
