WHAT IF THE FOREIGN MEDIA HAVE GOT IT ALL WRONG?
Its a great news line. Among the press and TV men criticized were of the Tom Fuller of the New York Times and Jonathan Head of the BBC. Surely such prestigious organs such as these could not have been led up the garden path... They may feel they do not want to be ruled by country folk. That I can understand. (But of course the Shinawatras will not let that happen ��� as they have shown.) All men are equal. Some are more equal than others. Elites? Well in the so��.

Tomgram: Pepe Escobar, New Silk Roads and an Alternate.
For all the talk in recent years about the Obama administrations military ���pivot��� to Asia, there can be no question that its latest Middle Eastern campaign will put a crimp on its Pacific ���containment��� planning.. ���In short, what used to be referred to as the West now finds itself confronted by an increasingly intractable situation in which the power balance is changing, a fact that few have yet quite cared to acknowledge, much less to factor into new formulations for��.
All Hell Let Loose ��� Max Hastings on the Good War - Mail.
All Hell Let Loose ��� Max Hastings on the Good War. I should note here that I do not know Sir Max, have spoken to him once in my life (in an exchange on the BBC Moral Maze programme), have never worked for him, and have for years disagreed strongly with many of his opinions on domestic politics.. He sums it up thus: France promised the military leadership in Warsaw that its army would attack Hitlers Siegfried Line within thirteen days of mobilisation.

War Nerd: Spartacus Live on Al Jazeera! - The Exiled
And in a place like Egypt, just standing out in the street facing the cops is doing something in a big way. You can die that way, like one demonstrator did in another video from Egypt. Its a classic video. What it shows you is the answer to the question, ���Whod be the first. Mubaraks having a scotch in his office, scowling at the local news show, when an Army liaison officer hunches in, all greasy smiles and apologies.. But how do you rank the Burmese in this context?
BBC - The Editors: Social media in Iran
Ive written here before about our use of Twitter in another context, and spoke then about the need for us (BBC News) to exercise care and to check information before publishing it as fact - and that remains true.

It... *psst* Loose talk costs lives.

BBC - Justin Webbs America: Americas generals
Here in frozen Kansas, it stands on what was once the United Statess western border, now the centre of the nation, far removed from the outside world, far from any possible conflict, far from the centres of political power (sorry Kansas City)...
