Struggling to keep it together (week 14)

Keeping it up with the Update. This weekend at last with some sports ahead. It hasn't been a very fruitful week. Proof of that is the lack of relevant news from Argentina. But in other countries, such in Italy, we've turned to face a rather serious problem within Berlusconi's media trust: an open revolt of the sports board after a local showman, Paolo Bonolis, called Ettore Rognoni, the director of such board "Er penombra", which could be translated into "nobody special".

Well, Bonolis has left the building, and will know how to keep his big mouth shut. But there's more from Italy, as a report from the state television RAI unveiled that the Marines used phosphore bombs in Faluja, when the city was rocked by Muqtada Al-Sadr. That kind of weapon is banned by one of the Geneva conventions, as it is basically like Napalm, only it does not burn buildings, only flesh.

The issue to face is that few American media, theoretically independent had not reflected this in their pages. Censorship? Untrust towards the Italian? Who knows...

And in Spain, Zapatero's government is still alive. That despite a highway that was being built in the south fell to pieces, killing several workers in the way. The scandal was aggravated when some documents linked to the highway were found in a dump. Obviously these guys are more than dirty but nobody seems to realize how dangerous they are...
