Today, Tommy Suharto got 15 years gaoltime for murder and corruption, in Indonesia, a country not a stranger to either, especially during the reign of Tommy's dad. I've wanted that creep to go to gaol ever since the phots of him being arrested, and the cop had his arm around his shoulder. Naturally, he's appealed.
Gunmen in Israel killed 4 Israeli settlers in a drive-by shooting. A section of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement has claimed responsibility. There is speculation of course that this is payback for the bombing by an Israeli jet which left 9 children dead.
Fidel Casto said "I told you so" to the US today, in the context of Wall Street's ongoing woes, as part of the failure of globalisation. People in glass shitholes shouldn't throw stones, I say. Castro also gave his thanks to the House of Reps for passing a bill designed to ease travel resitrictions to Cuba by US citizens. The bill will surely be scuttled by Bush by veto, but Castro hailed it as a symbolic gesture nonetheless.
