...March 2, a Spanish court sentenced Arnaldo Otegi--leader of Batasuna, the political wing of the Basque separatist group ETA--to two years in jail for "glorifying terrorism" during a 2005 speech. It was the second major blow to the organization that week, following the arrest by French authorities of ETA leader Ibon Gogeascoechea and two accomplices. More than 30 suspected ETA members have been arrested this year...
...result is a new-style western that's both entertaining and as mesmerizing as Givens' cold-blooded speech to the crook with the scattergun: "I want you to understand. I don't pull my sidearm unless I'm going to shoot to kill. That's its purpose, huh? To kill. So that's how I use it."

But the policies that Wen was criticizing are in many respects what China has pursued for years. The renminbi has been pegged against the dollar since mid-2008, and overseas economists say the currency may be undervalued by as much as 40%. Trade is a key component of economic growth for China, the world's largest exporter, and the government...
