When is Spain gonna get off the Pot?
Aminatou Haidar is now three weeks drinking sugar-water at Lanzarote airport because her
papers were stolen by Morocco. The Spanish government has little to say on the issue of
a Peace-activist and Nobel recommended woman dying on their doorstep and Morocco
presses ahead with whatever attracts them in the Western Sahara.

Interesting that the Beeb reports today that parts of the Sahara are now the biggest drug routes,
bit like the old silk-routes but with bells on.
So whats up with Zapatero in this situation : http://allafrica.com/stories/200912020943.html
The story is only really been covered via the Beeb in our part of the world as the Irish Times
(paper of note) tends toward buying Reuters mulch and cultivating Iona institute weirdos,
whilst Ms Kennedy babbles about the Internet threat : http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2009/1127/1....html
