It's part of the War for Oil series. The main oil countries, or even pipeline countries will be included - Saudi Arabia, Iran and Syria. And there's plenty of spin on the news to prepare public opinion for it. read full story / add a comment

5 members of the Cuban state government, which has stretched since its resplendent days of thrashing hotels and being squeezy hugged by Kruschev, hae had their court rulings annuled.

They have been held by the US since 1998

Since March 10, 2004, the three US magistrates assigned by the Atlanta Appeal Court"s 11th Circuit to revise the case of Gerardo Hernandez, Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez.have been doing their thing and their decision today to reverse the convictions was unanimous.

The "Red Avispa" or "red bee" spy ring story is a source of gathering solidarity and interest in both the USA and the Spanish speaking Americas. read full story / add a comment
