Some links into the world

Last week, I wrote down a short blog post about my view of the current changes in the world, and instantly a very interesting and long discussion started in the comments section. Some people were wondering about what I was talking exactly, and I faced the fact that some people just didn't know because they are only following the main media. So I thought about reposting a very short exerpt of the interesting news found daily at blog.fefe.de, so also non german speaking people can read some of it. If you don't want to know about it, don't read it, but I think I'm doing this now every week. I asked fefe if I would be allowed to do this, and he is ok with it, so lets go. This is some random stuff which happened during the last 7 days:

• The state of california is sueing car firms on global warming.
• Israeli ambassador criticizes U.S. for granting Iran`s leader a visa, allowing him to address the UN General Assembly.
• Report about a Jesus Camp.
• An innocent cannadian software engineer was deported to syria for a year to be tortured there until he finally wrongly confessed that he is an Al Quaida member. (Inquisition, anyone? Also now reported in lots of other media.)
• Hungarian prime minister says he and his government 'lied throughout the last year and a half, two years' (german link), to win elections, of course. People are not amused about this and demonstrating against their government now.
• Looks like IRS is going to take taxes from churches doing 'improper campaigning' now. Meaning being anti-War or anti-Bush as it seems.
• U.S. now has imprisoned 14,000 people in secret camps beyond the reach of established law. Read: 14.000!!
• Managers of Siemens are raising their own salary by 30% (german link) and laying off masses of employees at the same time.

These were some very few randomized items, but I thought nobody would read this if the list is longer than that.
Update: No, this is not the new thing which I am going to release at the end of the week. That's going to be some software. :)
