- If you doubt the need for a DMUA to rid America of scourges like the DMCA, read this discouraging news from DC (the whole story, please--not just the lead). Looks as if Rick Boucher is far too optimistic and needs some help badly. He can make all the right sounds he wants about repairing the DMCA, but it means diddly if the political muscle isn't there. |

- You would have thought that we would have heard more important wording from the people on the ground in Iraq. I expect Bush to show up probably after the football games on TV today, because you can hear the announcers promos throughout the game. This being a media event why not. Hopefully Bush will say something that perhaps will be able to explain why we are their in the first place. |

- As all the world now knows, Saddam Hussein has been caught by U.S. troops. This is a good thing from a law and justice perspective. This man needs to go to trial and pay for his crimes. |

Hillary POV (Dec 14 2003 19:56 GMT) - Hillary POVAndrew Sullivan's essay on Hillary Clinton is worth a second read considering today's events, even if you already read it a while back, or worth a first read if you missed it. |

- Greenpeace ha sacado a la luz unas dramáticas imágenes de la selva tropical de la Amzonia brasileña arrasada por el fuego para destacar los impactos devastadores de la producción de soja en la región. Al mismo tiempo, una de las principales fuerzas que están detrás de la extensión de la producción de soja en Estado brasileño de Pará, la compañÃa estadounidense Cargill, tiene que enfrentarse a acciones legales por sus instalaciones para la producción de soja construidas ilegalmente en las orillas del rÃo. |

GOTCHA (Dec 14 2003 19:55 GMT) - The capture is a great advance for a war of dubious necessity. Given the pressures to sustain the occupation from diverse points on the political spectrum, my view is that it will probably help a great deal. My guess is for a significant fall-off in resistance. It's good for both the U.S. |

The media call it a great victory for the US, the politicians are finding it harder to make up their minds what to say and public comment ranges from when will the US come and take Chirac? to No, they can't have captured him, it's impossible!. Coming after the setback over the EU constitution - it will be harder to push through when the other countries join -... |
