Ukranian KGB to Investigate the Crime it Probably Committed

"The substance containing the dioxin would most likely have been consumed the day Yushchenko fell ill, as dioxin is rapidly absorbed, Zimpfer said ...

A parliamentary commission that investigated Yushchenko's mysterious illness in October said he complained of pains after meeting with Ihor Smeshko, the head of Ukraine's Secret Service ... Smeshko promised the secret service would investigate ...

Yushchenko wants to move his former Soviet republic closer to the West politically and is largely backed by the Ukrainian-speakers who want to end what they say has been mass corruption during the previous decade. The pro-Kremlin Yanukovych, who had the backing of outgoing President Leonid Kuchma and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, draws his strength from the Russian-speaking, industrial east, which accounts for one-sixth of Ukraine's population of 48 million."

Tiny Group of Conservative Activists Dictate What You See

"Fewer than 350 in each of the two previous years ... The number of indecency complaints had soared dramatically to more than 240,000 ... According to a new FCC estimate obtained by Mediaweek, nearly all indecency complaints in 2003—99.8 percent—were filed by the Parents Television Council, an activist group. "

World Gives White House, GOP Bronx Cheer

"The whiff of scandal has been swirling around the UN for months. But now Kofi Annan himself, the man handpicked by the Americans to lead the organisation seven years ago, is on the ropes ... Congressman Scott Garrett said earlier this week that the question was 'whether he should be in jail' ... On Monday, Tony Blair rushed to the secretary-general's rescue, saying Mr Annan was doing 'a fine job ... often in very difficult circumstances.'

... The campaign to remove him as UN chief has been bolstered by a TV video on the website of a Republican action group, which calls for the UN to be kicked out of New York, where it sits on prime real estate on Manhattan's East River ... While US conservatives seized on the initial allegations in the oil-for-food scandal to accuse anti-war countries France and Russia of illegally accepting Saddam's bribes, it now turns out that American companies and individuals are being investigated."
