Cuba in the Cross-Hairs: A Near Half-Century of Terror (Oct 26 2003 05:58 GMT) - Now that the Bush administration, pursuing its "war against terrorism," has once again elevated Cuba into America's cross-hairs as a newly anointed member of the Axis of Evil, it seems like a good moment to consider the question of terrorism and Cuba. Noam Chomsky takes up this matter in his new book, 'Hegemony or Survival, America's Quest for Global Dominance', and a long, chilling excerpt from that book is included [in the link]. No one has written more powerfully or consistently on the subject of state violence and state terror or reminded us more powerfully or consistently that "terror" isn't primarily what small stateless bands of fanatics deliver to large and powerful states. History is, in a sense, a history of state terror and the United States has been a practitioner of the form, in the case of Cuba, as Chomsky shows, with unrelenting perseverance and relish for nearly half a century. |

Pleasantly surprised at Radio Shack (Oct 26 2003 05:54 GMT) - I was pleasantly surprised at the local Radio Shack today. I went in to buy a cheap volt-ohm-meter for a model train trouble-shooting. I paid with my Linux Fund Master Card (via MBNA). Now, usually I hand the card to a female clerk who typically says, "Oh, how cute" at the Tux mascot on the card. This time the young man behind the counter actually knew what Linux is, and asked some halfway cogent questions. |

Rashid hotel update (Oct 26 2003 05:51 GMT) - Jane Araaf, in her second report from near the scene, now says that this appears to have been a coordinated attack, in which mortars were fired from south of the hotel, and then small arms fire came from several other directions. Initial Associated Press video of the hotel shows that windows in at least four places on the hotel's south facing front have been blown out, and there is what appears to be a blast mark on the side of the hotel. The hotel is a very large one, apparently 14 stories tall. The mortars appear to have hit the hotel about 5-8 stories up. |
