Pentagon Officials spun the 6th January incident between US warships and small Iranian boats in the Strait of Hormuz in order to create the illusion of Iranian military aggressiveness. A short video with added audio warning US warships would "explode in a few seconds" was fed to the media. Deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs in charge of media operations Bryan Whitman was responsible for the initial fabrication, which has since been denied by Navy Officer who were involved. read full story / add a comment

This is an open letter from from Iranian Worker & Student activists to President Chavez. They are asking him to intervene on behalf of imprisoned students and workers. Full text at the link.

Dear Mr President:

We hear the news of the release of two of the FARC's hostages with renewed hope for the future of Colombia. The release of Clara Rojas and Consuela Gonzalez is not only a joyous event for their families but a development with great potentials for Colombian society.

We believe that your negotiation and persuasion skills can be put to further use in the release of captives in other parts of the globe. In particular, as you have developed very close relations with successive Iranian presidents, we hope that you can use your influence to help free the genuine trade unionists, democrats and socialists locked up in Iran. read full story / add a comment

Tom Hodgkinson has written quite an interesting article about Facebook, published in last Monday's G2. It begins:

I despise Facebook. This enormously successful American business describes itself as "a social utility that connects you with the people around you". But hang on. Why on God's earth would I need a computer to connect with the people around me? Why should my relationships be mediated through the imagination of a bunch of supergeeks in California? What was wrong with the pub?

And does Facebook really connect people? Doesn't it rather disconnect us, since instead of doing something enjoyable such as talking and eating and dancing and drinking with my friends, I am merely sending them little ungrammatical notes and amusing photos in cyberspace, while chained to my desk? A friend of mine recently told me that he had spent a Saturday night at home alone on Facebook, drinking at his desk. What a gloomy image. Far from connecting us, Facebook actually isolates us at our workstations.
