- Putting the rights of nature in Ecuador's constitution
  Posted by Jeff from Los Angeles Times
  It sounds like a stunt by the San Francisco City Council. But Ecuador is engaged in nothing less than an effort to redefine the relationship between human beings and the natural world. And as crazy as it may seem, the movement to give nature legal rights didn't start in Ecuador's Amazon forest or its Galapagos Islands -- it started years ago in the United States, in cities and towns seeking to fight off coal mines, incinerators and factory farms. Aided by the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund in Pennsylvania, about a dozen municipalities have abandoned the old-fashioned way of halting development -- through the appeals process -- and are placing outright bans on environmentally disruptive activities.

- US, Europe denounce Russian support for Georgian provinces' independence
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The US and Western European powers have issued vitriolic denunciations of Russia's decision to recognize the independence of the two breakaway provinces of Georgia-South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
  
  Russian President Dimitry Medvedev signed a decree Tuesday backing independence for the provinces, just one day after both houses of the Russian parliament voted unanimously to call on Medvedev to take the action.

- Karl Rove Vacations in Yalta with Georgian President Saakashvili
  Posted by Jeff from Dailykos
  It's a bit premature but Thom Hartmann today was talking about this on air - along with the LA Times article. DailyKos asks if this is the October Surprise.

- Why was Cheney's guy in Georgia before the war?
  Posted by Jeff from Latimesblogs.latimes
  The LA Times posted a blog entry today asking why Dick Cheney's top aide was in Georgia before it invaded South Ossetia. Separately, the blogosphere is buzzing over Karl Rove's "vacation" to Yalta in which he appeared on a panel with Georgian President Saakashvili before the war.
  Personally, I was struck by the photos of Putin and Bush at the Olympics Opening Ceremony, seemingly relaxed, as Russian troops invaded Georgia. However, contrarian reports of their demeanor exist.

What, precisely, was Karl Rove doing in Yalta just before the Georgian-Russian conflict? Please don’t tell us that it was coincidental. Premature/Thom Hartmann – why doesn’t the corporate media pick this up and run with it? Things I hear on Air America stations that turn out to be true are always downplayed by the big guys. Anyone who has to do with any aspect of the Bush administration gets a by if the news bite looks like it will bite a Republican.

Unless totally up to no good, there is no reason on earth why a schlock like Rove should be any where near a Georgian president. Vacationing, my foot! This is undoubtedly the biggest national and perhaps internaional rat of the last century.

Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud

It’s not China so much as the IOC. The IOC apparently is uninterested in pursuing such issues, preferring to take the word of the Host.
The USSR/East Block countries did some interesting bending of the rules years back and very little happened to any of them.
So cheating will only be enforced against athletes who don’t have direct Government backing.

Rights groups bemoan lack of Beijing protests

Yeah, you’re right about that, but unlike other communist dictatorships China is allowing westernization and capitalism in at the edges. The USSR collapsed, and Venezuela is heading that way, because they didn’t allow it.
I think it will be interesting to see how that evolves, especially as illegal internet access starts to creep in around the edges.
It’s a wonder that there are still people in the west singing the virtues of communism. Some of them teach in and run our colleges and Universities.

Communist dictatorship suppresses dissent.
What’s the matter, you thought the Chinese government was nice?
Think of the most oppressive government action you can.
Then check to see if China has done it.
You’ll find it has.
