CORRUPTION SUCKS BLOG

Interpol: Joran van der Sloot arrested in Santiago Joran van der Sloot is being investigated in connection with a woman's death in Peru. Van der Sloot, 23, was traveling alone in a taxi near the Chilean central coastal city of Vina del Mar when he was detained, said Douglas Rodriguez, spokesman for the Chilean Investigative Police. Van der Sloot was transported Thursday afternoon to police headquarters in Santiago, Chile. TV images showed him emerging from a black police SUV at the police station. His hair, which had been black in previous images, was red and worn in a close-cropped crew cut. A wake was held Thursday in Lima, Peru, for Flores, who was scheduled to be buried later in the day. There is "incriminating evidence" linking van der Sloot to Flores' killing, said Peruvian criminal investigator Cesar Guardia Vasquez. Flores' bludgeoned body was found in Room 309 of the Hotel Tac in the Miraflores section of Lima

By Lauren Booth, The Guardian – 2 June 2010 www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jun/02/palestinian-territories-gaza I was a passenger on the first effort to break the Gaza blockade. Our mission was to show that normal people cared. Since the military attack on a fleet of civilian ships in international waters, Israel ’s well oiled spin machine has imposed a total news blackout about the survivors, taking their phones and denying them access to consular representation. The void has instead been filled with disinformation about the passengers on board the Mavi Marmara ferry. For those of us with colleagues and loved ones of whom we still have no clear news, such lies only exacerbate our anxiety and fury. So, before I have to read another weasel word from politicians about inquiries into the motives of the flotilla, let me shed some light on the kind of people either hospitalized or being illegally held in prisons in the south of the country.

This might get me killed but I feel like standing up for something that's worth dying for. I'll speak for those who are too scared or too uneducated to address public corruption... I usually don't make political tracks but it seems like ever since Obama won,  state government has gone crazy in the red states.Gov of Texas wants to secede...like make their own country (probably so they can legalize slavery). Arizona wants to pull over anyone who looks Mexican and Arkansas' Local Police force is out of control! I haven't seen a video on the net yet where a cop knew he was on camera and still uses a racial slur. WE NEED TO STAND UP!! D.EZ
