- Bill Kristol on Ron Paul: He's a crackpot
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Jazz-from-hell.blogspot
  America's favorite neocon commentator takes a crack at America's favorite quasi-Libertarian presidential candidate. Hey, might as well - everyone else is ripping Paul, as they always do when anyone gets too big for his britches. Kristol is particularly caustic, defending in an oblique manner a war that cost 600,000 American lives...

- Edinburgh Film Festival: Solitary fragments or part of social experience?
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  In Blind Mountain director Li Yang takes a frank and angry look at sex slavery in rural China. The practice of buying wives was abolished following the Chinese revolution in 1949. By the late 1980s it had revived to the extent that many tens of thousands of women are annually sold as wives.

  Posted by ptristam from Pierre Tristam

  Actually this one was **** down, but it seems amazing to me that our government is has these boot camp style detention facilities. And, apparently, they are quite harsh. It sounds like this kid starved himself to death on purpose. A couple a months ago there was another kid that was beaten to death by his superiors. Seems to me that the ever stronger police state is already here, and does not plan of leaving. If we so much as step out of line, literaly, we will be beaten down for show as an example. Recently, at the Miami WTO protest a demonstrator named Elizibeth Ridder, holding a sign that reads “fear Totalitarianism” was shot with rubber bullets, then shot in the head while she was on the ground. This all while rows of militant police packed deep stood by idly by. See the footage in the Democracy Now 8/11 report.

- Raids across Brazil free 4,000 slaves
  Posted by Billbar from Guardian UK
  Although slavery was officially abolished in Brazil in 1889, Brazil's modern-day slave trade began to boom again during the 1964 military dictatorship. Father Rezende said the official estimate of just 25,000 slaves in Brazil could be way off the mark: "The real figure could be 250,000."
