'NO WAR IS NOT A BOOK BY NAOMI KLEIN!' Statement from Naomi Klein on new book appearing to exploit her work
Scary stuff. Look at this link:

By: Naomi Klein
A for-profit publisher in England has just released an anthology titled 'No War' At first glance, it looks like an original new book by me. It is not.
The book contains one previously published magazine article by me that has been available free-of-charge on my website for eight months. I encourage readers interested in this article, titled 'Baghdad Year Zero' to download it at www.nologo.org ; http://www.nologo.org . I am very concerned that readers will mistakenly believe that they are purchasing original writing, despite my best efforts to convince the publisher to clearly label the book what it is: an anthology of previously published articles by multiple authors.
'No War' is not my book; I had no role in choosing the title, and will accept no revenue from its sales.
I am currently writing an original non-fiction book that will be published in 2006.

Waffenembargo sollte zu generellem Rüstungsexportverbot ausgeweitet werden
Pressemitteilungen der PDS
http://sozialisten.de/presse/presseerklaerungen/view_html?zid=26754
Zur Auseinandersetzung um die vom Bundeskanzler angestrebte Aufhebung des EU-Waffenembargos gegen China erklärt Wolfgang Gehrcke, außenpolitischer Sprecher der PDS:
Das EU-Waffenembargo gegen die Volksrepublik China sollte nicht aufgehoben werden, sondern zu einem generellen Verbot von Rüstungsexporten ausgeweitet werden. Die PDS tritt für gute Beziehungen zur Volksrepublik China ein, deswegen sollten alle diskriminierenden Maßnahmen rasch beendet werden. Das heißt aber nicht, dass nach China Waffen verkauft werden sollen, sondern das Verbot, das China derzeitig einseitig trifft, muss auf alle Staaten ausgeweitet werden. Ein erster wichtiger Schritt wäre es, endlich keine Rüstungsgüter in Spannungsgebiete wie z.B. in den Nahen Osten zu exportieren. Die Motive des Bundeskanzlers Schröder sind durchsichtig:
* Deutschland will mit Blick auf einen ständigen Sitz im Weltsicherheitsrat unter Beweis stellen, dass es selbständig Weltpolitik gestaltet. Dies auch gegen Widerspruch des US-Präsidenten Bush.
* Alle letzten Auslandsreisen des Bundeskanzlers waren mit der Anbahnung von Rüstungsgeschäften verbunden. Schröder macht sich zum Lobbyisten der deutschen Rüstungsindustrie.
* Gleichzeitig will Bundeskanzler Schröder das alleinige Entscheidungsrecht der Bundesregierung auch gegenüber dem Bundestag unter Beweis stellen.
Mit Menschenrechten hat dies alles nichts zutun. Die Heuchelei von Politikerinnen und Politikern, die sonst jeden Waffenexport begrüßen und im Falle Chinas ihr Gewissen entdecken, ist nicht überzeugend.

Utah Supports DOE Decision to Move Moab Tailings Pile
'(Salt Lake City, Utah) – Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. today announced his support of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) decision to move the Moab tailings pile to Crescent Junction located 30 miles north of Moab and 15 miles east of Green River.
“This is exciting news for Utah,” said Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. “The DOE and Secretary Bodman are proving that they are willing to listen and work with us to find a reasonable solution for the mill tailings that pose a very real threat to the Colorado River and downstream water users. We appreciate their attention to this most pressing environmental need.” This decision reflects the tremendous efforts of a stakeholder group to reach a workable solution where Grand County, Moab City and various state and federal agencies contributed to this positive outcome'.
