    President George W. Bush has made it clear that the punishment for even being suspected of planning, abetting, or carrying out a terrorist act is, at a minimum, getting tossed into a dark hole. Bush has thrown out even the Magna Carta when it comes to Muslims suspected of pernicious thoughts toward the United States.
    But if suspected terrorists turn their ire toward Fidel Castro, these rules don’t apply.
    Indeed, those who try to bomb and assassinate Cuban targets, or those related to (…)

    In the vast majority of developing countries science is a commodity in the process of disappearing. Government policies in this area, rather than investing money and resources to increase areas of research, which would benefit the majority of their population, take away money and resources from science in order to fulfill the requirements of the International Monetary Fund, which is, pay the immoral external debt.
    Developed countries are not in any better shape. A huge (…)
