- Le ministère de la défense américaine lance des investigations sur des responsables militaires de haut niveau qui ont été engagé par des fournisseurs du ministère ces dernières années. Dirigées par le bureau de l’Inspecteur général du Pentagone, l’enquête vise donc les sociétés privées qui engagent d’anciens membres de l’administration, ce qui inclut le groupe Carlyle, selon le rapport. Les enquêteurs cherchent à déterminer si les anciens fonctionnaires sont en règle avec la législation qui leur interdit d’avoir des liens avec le secteur privé avant de le rejoindre.

- Hemp farmers and drug addicts are suffering equally as a result of poor law enforcement, insufficient funding, and erratic strategizing when it comes to the Romanian government’s battle against illegal drugs. Indeed, faced with the prospect of 15-year prison terms and the glare of the media over government raids on fields where hemp was being grown for legal industrial purposes — but was wrongly identified as cannabis — many farmers have simply given up. In 2003 only 2,000 hectares of hemp were registered, down from 50,000 hectares in 1990, according to Agriculture Ministry official Elena Tatomir. |

- Quelque part entre Canada et France, au dessus de l'océan, trop loin des nuages, pas assez près des étoiles, je glisse sur les courants lents de mon temps. Les nuages, je pourrais les regarder des heures durant s'harmoniser sous mon regard, un hasard démuni d'une quelconque intention, juste l'expression d'une beauté, l'irrigation de ma rétine par des aquarelles improvisées. L'avion toujours et encore la lenteur du voyage, la consommation trop rapide de l'espace dans un temps bien trop long. Rêver de pouvoir marcher, rêver de pouvoir traverser les continents et sentir le sol sous la plante des pieds. |

- While creeping through the hideous Baghdad traffic en route to Ramadi to meet with a Sheikh, my friend Harb mentions that the CPA has created several thousand new jobs for Iraqis -- as street sweepers! He tells me many of them are sweeping along the highways around Baghdad and that they have probably been sent to do so to 'find' mines and IEDs. A terrible thought, one I try to put it out of my mind. But with all the problems facing the CPA here, is having clean streets and roads really that high of a priority? After all, I have seen countless men cleaning the streets of Baghdad the last several weeks. |
