Speaking to TIME from Panama, where he was on a sales trip to Latin American prisons, Melamed said CellAntenna is selling jamming technology worldwide, sometimes with the help of promotional trips arranged by the U.S. Department of Commerce. He calls it ironic that one branch of the Federal Government is promoting jamming while another is blocking it. Across the globe, more and more countries are buying jamming equipment. Britain has embarked on a major study to address the issue. Given a new U.S. Administration and anticipated changes at the top of the FCC, it is unlikely that the dueling petitions...
...Kicking through the dump turns up Panama banana crates and Sicilian oranges, boxes from made-in-Vietnam Nike sneakers, Dior perfume from France, and Glutatione and Metoclopramide medicines bottles from Milan. No sign of any Made in China products. Of course, just like the empty bread bag and twisted remains of a pink baby stroller, Liu Xiaodong's latest product was Made in Naples.

Given the bitter relations between Washington and Havana, it would simply look as though the Bush Administration were ignoring its own uncompromising anti-terrorist tenets in order to spite Castro. A U.S. immigration judge ruled that Posada would likely be tortured if he is sent to Venezuela - which is ruled by the pro-Castro government of left...
