TheRegister: "In a worrying U-turn, the US Department of Commerce (DoC) has made it clear it intends to retain control of the internet's root servers indefinitely. It was due to relinquish that control in September 2006, when its contract with overseeing body ICANN ended.
'The United States Government intends to preserve the security and stability of the Internet's Domain Name and Addressing System (DNS). Given the Internet's importance to the world's economy, it is essential that the underlying DNS of the Internet remain stable and secure. As such, the United States is committed to taking no action that would have the potential to adversely impact the effective and efficient operation of the DNS and will therefore maintain its historic role in authorising changes or modifications to the authoritative root zone file,' is the first of a four-point statement which can be found here.
The vision of a US-controlled internet infrastructure will be anathema to large parts of the world however and it is a demonstration of the US administration's failure to think globally that it doesn't recognise that there is surprisingly little preventing other parts of the world from creating a second Internet outside of US control."

War criminal Blair has taken over the presidency of the European Union.
EUObserver: "UK prime minister Tony Blair has announced that the British presidency will launch a debate on the sustainability of Europe's social model, as it stands at the heart of the current discussions on the future of the EU."
So there you have it. A war criminal and social traitor will tell us how good global capitalism is and that the European Union can't afford decent healthcare, decent pensions nor decent wages. It looks like he wants to create a third world right in the heart of the first world.
Just like he has a passion for war, he has a passion for Europe. Sod off, Phony Bliar!
