...midst of a kiss-and-make-up lovefest with its brothers to the North. A few weeks ago, Hill had a testy exchange with South Korean journalists over why Seoul's blame-America-first media don't write more about the heinous human-rights abuses in the socialist paradise next door. It's a good question. One answer, no doubt, is the distrust of America fomented by Guant?namo...
...DIED. ISRAEL EPSTEIN, 90, Polish journalist who became a passionate supporter of the Chinese Communist Party and comrade to many of its leaders; in Beijing.

The opposition Popular Party (PP) and victims' groups are livid, accusing Zapatero of providing eta with what...
...inspiration for today's Russia. Yazov's article glossed over Stalin's errors - "even geniuses make mistakes" - and did not mention the millions who died in purges before and after World War II. More chillingly, Yazov had a message for the future: "The destruction of our socialist state at the end of the last century started with the massive slander of Stalin. The restoration of the country cannot happen without the full truth about him. To speak the truth about Stalin today ... helps strengthen the will and spirit of our people and contribute to the salvation of our fatherland...
