Increased Paramilitary and Police Attacks Against San Juan Copala 7:03 pm / 31 July 2010 by scott, at Angry White Kid
Yesterday police, accompanied by state-backed paramilitaries, entered the Autonomous Municipality of San Juan Copala.
Kristin Bricker has a detailed report:
At approximately 12:15 pm on July 30, over one hundred Oaxaca state police raided the autonomous municipality of San Juan Copala. Approximately thirty heavily armed members of the Union for the Social Well-being of the Triqui Region (UBISORT, a paramilitary organization) accompanied the police on the raid. Rufino Juárez, UBISORT's leader, reportedly participated in the raid.
In response, a blockade in front of the federal courthouse and a march to the city center was held in the city of Oaxaca. A short report back and photos, plus more news and press releases from the municipality and organizations in solidarity with the autonomous project can be seen at El Enemigo Común.

"South of the Border" by Oliver Stone, some criticisms 4:48 pm / 31 July 2010 by John Madziarczyk, at Lost Highway Times...Paths in Oblivion
Hey there, Just got out of "South of the Border" by Oliver Stone and I have to say that while it wasn't really bad it wasn't nearly as good as I imagined it to be. I stood as a kind of mediocrity, somewhere in the middle. The film is Stone's attempt to chart the movement to the left that South America has been engaged in since Hugo Chavez defeated the coup attempt in 2002. To do this he

Iran in the Afghan War Diary 1:56 pm / 31 July 2010 by Justin Podur, at The Killing Train
A search on "Iran" in the Afghan War Diary gives about 150 hits - more, actually, but I cleared a bunch that were place names that have the string "iran" in them, like Faqiran, and any entries about how the US raids a weapons cache and uncovers Iranian-manufactured weapons (there are a lot of those cache raids in the record).
India in the Afghan War Diary 1:28 pm / 31 July 2010 by Justin Podur, at The Killing Train
In the phonetic alphabet (alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot, golf, hotel, india...), the letter "i" is represented by "india". This makes searching for "India" in the Afghan War Diary a bit of extra work, as grid systems and nomenclatures that use alphabetical numbering and reach the letter "I" end up having US military units or areas around bases that have nothing to do with India, called "India". When you go through that and cut those out, I got about 82 entries.
