US soldiers driving bulldozers, with jazz blaring from loudspeakers, have uprooted ancient groves of date palms as well as orange and lemon trees in central Iraq as part of a new policy of collective punishment of farmers who do not give information about guerrillas attacking US troops. The stumps of palm trees, some 70 years old, protrude from the brown earth scoured by the bulldozers beside the road at Dhuluaya, a small town 50 miles north of Baghdad. Local women were yesterday busily bundling together the branches of the uprooted orange and lemon trees and carrying then back to their »

El filósofo Tony Negri, un cuarto de siglo de prisión política en Italia El filosofo italiano Toni Negri, después de casi un cuarto de siglo como detenido en su país en un verdadero caso de prisión por ideas, viajará por primera vez al exterior tras el indulto que le otorgara el gobierno de Silvio Berlusconi meses atrás, y visitará Argentina entre el 26 y el 29 de octubre. Negri, catedrático sobre 'Teoría del Estado' en la Universidad de Padua, nació en esa ciudad en 1933, por lo que asistió en su infancia a la Segunda Guerra Mundial; »

La Jornada El caudaloso movimiento popular que se opone al saqueo del gas natural en Bolivia entró en su tercera semana sin que el gobierno de Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada dé señal alguna de rectificar su proyecto ni muestre voluntad de escuchar a los inconformes. La cuestión en debate no es si el gas se exporta por Perú en lugar de por Chile, como ha difundido la maquinaria mediática con la intención de desvirtuar los propósitos de la movilización y reducir sus motivaciones a la presunta animadversión boliviana contra el segundo país. Bolivia efectivamente necesita una salida »

CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Ambrose Bierce Dear President Bush, A lot of people on the right have expressed support for your tough policy on Cuba. Liberals and leftists, on the other hand, have opposed it. This might lead you to think that perhaps every person who sympathizes with the government headed by Fidel Castro rejects your policy. Well, that is incorrect. In fact, I think I speak for many in Cuba, the United States and throughout Latin America. We support and like the policy of having »

Cubadebate conversa con Carmelo Suárez Cabrera, Secretario General del Partido Comunista de los Pueblos de España. “Aquí se vive un verdadero estado policíaco”, dice. "Aznar ha incorporado cada vez mas en los discursos de los últimos tres años una expresión que aquí se dejó de usar: “comunista”, con un sentido peyorativo. Todo lo referente a la izquierda para él es una desgracia, y por tanto, ha insistido en un lenguaje típico de la Guerra Fría, llamando la atención sobre el “fantasma del comunismo”. Ese lenguaje lo aplica a Cuba también para legitimarse ante su base social neofranquista, que es »

We [in the USA] aren't really interested in democracy and human rights. We just use those words to hide our true reasons. If democracy and human rights really mattered to us, Indonesia, Turkey, Mexico, Peru and Colombia--for example--would be our enemies.... Since 1985, we have stated publicly that we will encourage and openly finance dissident and human rights groups in Cuba; this, too, is in our interests. The United States isn't financing all those groups--only the ones that are best known internationally. Those dissidents and human rights groups in Cuba--that are nothing but a few people--are only important »

¿Puede una cadena de grandes almacenes convertirse en protagonista de la industria de revistas? El caso de Wal-Mart en Estados Unidos, el principal punto de venta de este tipo de publicaciones, parece confirmar que es así. Y es que cualquier decisión que tome la distribuidora sobre una determinada cabecera puede afectar a sus ventas de manera determinante. Todo comenzó cuando la famosa cadena Wal-Mart decidió restringir los productos que se mostraban en sus estanterías, concretamente aquellos con mensajes ofensivos o que atentaran contra las buenas costumbres. Desde ese momento, algunos editores han empezado a consultar al gran vendedor de revistas »

Why does our government want to prevent us from seeing and learning about what is happening in Cuba? It says itspurpose is to deny hard currency to Cubans so that theywill change the way they have organized their society. Ifso, it's the first time in history we've been forced tosacrifice one of our fundamental freedoms in order toimplement a foreign policy objective. From the beginning American courts have recognized andprotected our right to travel to and in countries at peacewith us, and our Supreme Court has repeatedly held this ispart of »

Once again, this accusation has been made with scant evidence to support it, and that's shameful. There are enough grave issues staring us in the face in Cuba. Complicating matters with unsubstantiated claims only makes the U.S. government look bad and obscures efforts to make progress where it is most needed. During a Cuba conference in Coral Gables, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Miami, on Saturday charged that Cuba has "amassed weapons of mass destruction." Ros-Lehtinen'saccusation is not new. Defectors have raised similar suspicions. In May of last year, John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, said »
