:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::

"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.

From the Guradian UK:
Activists Occupy Spanish Embassy in Iraq

Baghdad, Iraq (AP) - "Spanish anti-war activists occupied Spain's embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, saying diplomats who left Iraq while their country supported the threat of war have abandoned hopes for peace."

"Stringing up white banners reading "no sanctions, no war" from the white stucco house in Baghdad's diplomatic section, the 17 activists posed for pictures and read their manifesto to journalists from a balcony."

"'This is our house,' proclaimed Pedro Pablo Vicente Torres, a union leader from Malaga. 'Why did they abandon the embassy if they don't want war?'"

[I Still haven't found a copy of this "manifesto."]
