Book delves into frigate scandal 11/30/03 BBC: "And
yet in France all efforts to cast light on the affair are stymied. In Taiwan, by
contrast, the furore generated by the scandal helped bring down the Kuomintang
regime in 2000, and the new government has made sure judges have access to all
but the most highly-classified documents. "The reputation of France has
been seriously stained," concludes Mr Jean-Pierre. "And when I compare
our old democracy with Taiwan, a country where martial law was only lifted a
short while ago, I am seized by shame." "

How British charity was silenced on Iraq 11/28/03 Guardian,
UK: "One of Britain's most high-profile charities was ordered to end
criticism of military action in Iraq by its powerful US wing to avoid
jeopardising financial support from Washington and corporate donors, a Guardian
investigation has discovered. Internal emails reveal how Save the Children UK
came under enormous pressure after it accused coalition forces of breaching the
Geneva convention by blocking humanitarian aid."

Dick Gregory Comments On Michael Jackson 11/24/03 Black
World Today: "He asked why was it necessary for 40 police officers and
20 FBI agents to raid Michael Jackson's property? More specifically, why were
FBI agents present, especially since the allegations against Mr. Jackson are not
a federal offense? He also questioned the legitimacy of the claim of law
enforcement that they did not know of Mr. Jackson's whereabouts and the timing
of the raid. According to Mr. Gregory, there is a monetary element to this
entire situation. He states that Michael Jackson purchased the Beatles catalog
for nearly $48 million and it is now worth $1.5 billion. He also owns the rights
to the Elvis catalog and found out after his purchase of the Beatles collection
that these rights also included ownership of Little Richard's catalog of which,
Michael Jackson promptly called Mr. Richard and returned it to him. His
suspicions arise from the fact that Michael Jackson has taken out loans and his
lenders wanted collateral, which was none other than his Beatles catalog."
Turks, Kurds were bombers 11/24/03 Sydney
Morning Herald: "The four suicide bombers who murdered more than 50
people in Istanbul last week have been identified as Turkish citizens and ethnic
Kurds with strong links to al-Qaeda. Turkish authorities and local media say
that all four come from the troubled south-eastern Turkish city of Binjol and
knew each other well. In recent years members of the group are also known to
have visited Afghanistan, where they are believed to have received
indoctrination and training. One alleged associate arrested after the Thursday
attacks on the British consulate and the HSBC Bank is reported to have fought
for the Muslim cause in Chechnya and Bosnia while another had training in
Pakistan."
Were the Feds Capable of Killing Kennedy? 11/24/03 The
Future of Freedom Foundation: "Unfortunately, we may never know all
the answers to the Kennedy assassination because of two undeniable conspiracies
entered into by U.S. officials immediately after it occurred: the conspiracy not
to aggressively investigate whether there were other people who shot at
President Kennedy and the conspiracy to keep the government’s investigative
files into the assassination secret from the American people until the year
2029, when missing and destroyed evidence would be nothing more than a
historical curiosity. If those two conspiracies had never been entered into, the
central questions of who killed Kennedy and who covered the murder up would
probably have been settled long ago."
"There
is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and
security to all, but especially to Democracies as against despots:
suspicion." -- Demosthenes
