...Mackey, in his alarming lack of judgment, reminded us not only of the dangers of anonymous information exchange, but also of the persistence of pre-Web 1.0 technology in an over-hyped Web 2.0 world. The Securities and Exchange Commission has now commenced an informal investigation into Mackey's message posting activity, possibly endangering Whole Food's potential acquisition of competitor Wild Oats. I wonder what "Rahodeb" would have posted about that...
...interruptions as they hammered home his agency's repeated failures. After Paulison said that the chairman's criticism was unfair because hindsight has made the situation clearer, Rep. Waxman responded, "Your own staff told you at the time there was a problem. That's not hindsight. That's a lack of foresight."

...need a national truth and reconciliation process," says Norbert Mao, chairman of Gulu district, one of the Ugandan towns hardest hit by the conflict. In Gulu, over 70% of displaced people still have not been able to leave the camps due to fears of safety and lack of land - though many are in settlements within 20 km of their home. "It's a situation where many feel that they are in limbo... and there are mixed feelings about whether the LRA leadership should be tried by traditional justice," says Harry Leefe, head of the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR's office...
