One of my favorite weblogs Bombs and Shields has many outstanding posts in the last while:
"Istanbul, Turkey - Hundreds of women and their supporters in Istanbul gathered for a demonstration marking International Women's Day. Police ordered all who gathered to disperse, because permission had not been granted for the protest. The one hundred or so who remained in defiance of police orders were gassed and brutally beaten."
"Peru - Thousands of demonstrators clashed with riot police in the central Andes after the Peruvian government decided to waive a $141 million in tax owed by the Canadian based gold mining company Barrick Gold Inc"
"Baghdad, Iraq - The US military is considering abandoning the notorious, overcrowded Abu Ghraib prison."
Michigan - Wealthy land owners who stake claim to property abutting the 3288 miles of shoreline along Michigan's Great Lakes"
Marathon, Florida - About 70 rough-toothed dolphins beached themselves in the Florida Keys Thursday"
Brisbane, Australia - Police were attacked with rocks, and there cars damaged by hundreds of youths, as they corralled two different parties which had spilled into the streets." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
