Guardian: "Of all the revelations that have rocked the Israeli army over the past week, perhaps none disturbed the public so much as the video footage of soldiers forcing a Palestinian man to play his violin.
The incident was not as shocking as the recording of an Israeli officer pumping the body of a 13-year-old girl full of bullets and then saying he would have shot her even if she had been three years old."

AlterNet: "India's courts have tried to pursue justice for Bhopal, but they have been thwarted. In 1991, an Indian court ordered Union Carbide officials, including Warren Anderson, the CEO at the time of the disaster, to face criminal charges. After Anderson and the other defendants failed to appear, India's Supreme Court named them 'proclaimed absconders' - that is, fugitives from justice - and pressed for their extradition. After sitting on the extradition request for years, the U.S. State Department refused it without explanation in September 2004.
Amnesty's report, Clouds of Injustice, estimates that 7,000 to 10,000 people died in the first three days of the Bhopal disaster and 15,000 more have died in the years since. Another 100,000 continue to suffer chronic, largely untreatable diseases of the lungs, eyes and blood."

CommonDreams: "In the Ukraine, citizens are in the streets protesting what they charge is a fixed election. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell expresses this nation's concern about apparent voting irregularities. The media give the dispute around-the-clock coverage. But in the United States, massive and systemic voter irregularities go unreported and unnoticed."
TruthOut: "Here in America, over 30,000 reports of electoral irregularities, combined with deeply disturbing reports of the ease with which electronic vote tallies can be tampered with, have led to little more than silence from the mainstream media and the national political establishment. When the greatest democracy in the history of the world is shamed by a former territory of the Soviet Union over the basic issue of the vote, something is indeed out of joint."
