Draconian Anti-Piracy Censorship Bill Passes Senate Committee (PROTECT-IP Act)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2725672/posts
When the PROTECT IP Act becomes law U.S. authorities and copyright holders will have the power to seize domains, block websites and censor search engines to prevent copyright infringements. Introduced just two weeks ago, the bill now heads over to the Senate for further consideration and another vote.
The U.S. Government continues to back legislation that opens the door to unprecedented Internet censorship
Libya: Water Emerges as a Hidden Weapon
http://truthout.org/libya-water-emerges-hidden-weapon/1306685683
In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) water has created a growing regional crisis and could be an impetus for further unrest. Demand is increasing as populations skyrocket - reserves are rapidly depleting and food inflation has taken its toll on cash-strapped countries dependent on imported food staples.
"There are several elements to the Libyan mess. One of them is certainly water. I would highlight the issue by quoting similar situations in South and Central Asia," News Central Asia Editor Tariq Saeedi told IPS.
"Kashmir is understood to be the cause of rift between India and Pakistan but actually it’s the water of three rivers - Ravi, Sutlej and Beas - that originate from upper Kashmir that is the source of dispute.
"The Amudarya River that starts from Afghanistan and criss-crosses between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan before terminating at Aral Sea is another example. The ability of this river to trigger a conflict in Central Asia will rise proportionately with the ability of Afghanistan to use more water from Amudarya for its own use.
"In a nutshell, whoever controls NSAS, controls the economies, foreign policies and destinies of several countries in the region, not just north-eastern Africa," explains Saeedi.

Like George Monbiot or James Hansen and James Lovelock, I don't think we're going to be able to free ourselves of our fossil fuel addiction without embracing every non-carbon energy source currently available to us. What that means in the short term is clear - accepting nuclear power. What that means in the medium and long term remains to be seen.
