Round Up

Some little bits that you might find interesting....

The radar issue finally made the front page of the Herald-Tribune and can be seen here on the NY Times site (but for how long, no one knows).

*********************

Klaus met Cheney regarding the radar issue. Klaus is paraphrased in the article...

Klaus said it is necessary to address the Czech public that has taken a rather negative stand on the radar project. The result cannot be anticipated. The democratic process of decision-making must be respected, he told Cheney.

No one knows if Cheney understood or gives a flying hoot about that last part.

********************

An old Communist MP who served as a prison guard during communist rule says he was just doing his job. He has been stripped of his immunity and now faces trial.

********************

A look at capitalism's underbelly. Not as snowy white as you might suspect.

********************

And finally, today is Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. The international day of non-violence is being observed in Prague. How about in your neck of the woods?

  • Hmm...I don't think there was much ado here in Providence, RI with regards to International Non-Violence Day. This is a shame, of course. Did you make it out to the Prague event?

  • No, I couldn't make it unfortunately. I would have liked to do a post on the event.
