3 top members of the Greek government have to resign over the Greek role in the Turkish capture of Ocalan. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Madeline Albright to resign for the same reason. The Turks have already denied his lawyers entry into the country and refuses to let the trial be monitored.

Kurd who most needs to be bitch-slapped: the guy who is so proud of his 15-year old daughter’s setting herself on fire in protest.

Yesterday the US and Serb negotiators at that conference took a little break and flew to Beograde to talk with Milosevic.

The Kosovar and I believe Russian delegations literally engaged in a car chase trying to head off the others as they drove to the airport.
