The US has decided that the man chiefly responsible for implemented outrageous terrorist atrocities in Nicaragua, John Negroponte, is to be the new US ambassador to Iraq . As US ambassador to Honduras, he directed a CIA operation to train, fund and arm violent extremists in the Honduran hinterland, whereupon they were sent into Nicaragua to raid local schools and medical centres, raping and torturing as they made their merry way to destiny.

Osama bin Laden has offered Europeans a "truce" if they cease attacking Muslim countries. My advice is, invite him round for talks. Seriously. Because you have to figure that wherever he is... Of course, the last thing bin Laden expects or desires is for Europe to actually say "great, we've been waiting for this chance to make ourselves look like pansies!" He expects a bellicose reaction. I have no hesitation in predicting he will get one.

Kosovo, that island of liberity, security and nascent democracy in the neoliberalised Balkans, is experiencing something of an iron fist clamp-down by the regime, while mobs affiliated to KLA tributaries are planning the final "cleansing" of Serb minority zones.
