SeattleTimes: "Susan Sontag, the author, activist and self-defined 'zealot of seriousness' whose voracious mind and provocative prose made her a leading intellectual of the past half century, died today. She was 71."
She was a courageous woman of high moral standing.

TheAustralian: "Former British cabinet minister Peter Mandelson, a close friend of Tony Blair, is the latest high-profile figure implicated in the foiled plot to overthrow the president of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea.
It has emerged that Mr Mandelson, recently appointed European Union trade commissioner, privately met two businessmen accused of backing the coup plot.
There is growing evidence Britain and the US knew of the plot. British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw was last month forced to retract Foreign Office claims that the Blair Government received no advance warning of a coup."

Guardian: "Russia and China are set to hold unprecedented joint military maneuvers on Chinese territory next year involving both nations' air forces and navies, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said in the Kremlin on Monday."
Let's be honest, the Bush regime and the new Europe have no intention of integrating Russia in the new world order. Russia is being harassed by the West on all sides, just like before. The reason is clear, it is oil and the access to oil via Georgia and the Ukraine. No wonder Russia is looking for new allies against an increasingly aggressive West.
