Traumatised South African children play 'rape me' games

This article appeared in the Guardian on Thursday March 13 2008 on p18
of the International section. It was last updated at 00:05 on March 13
2008.

South African schoolchildren are so affected by crime that they play
games of "rape me, rape me" and mimic robberies in the playground,
according to the country's human rights commission. In a report on
school violence published yesterday, the commission said schools were
the "single most common" site of crimes against children, such as
robbery and assault, including rampant sexual violence, some of it by
teachers.

The commission said it had identified a number of games pupils played
in response to the violence, including one in which they pretended to
rape each other. "This game demonstrates the extent and level ...
brutalisation of the youth has reached, and how endemic sexual
violence has become in South Africa," it said.

I think Ms Ferraro was fired for making disparaging and/or libelous
remarks about a primary opponent, not for being a racist (which she
isn't, anyway.) There are many cases where campaigns aides have been
fired for this sort of thing... including just the other day when an
Obama aide got fired for saying Hillary was a "monster."

Often times these firings are strategic... the aide deliberately says
something bad to get a message out and then pretends to fall on her
sword so the candidate doesn't get blamed for it.

RAW, portions of New York Governor "john" Spritzer's resignation
speech:

Good evening.

This is the 37th time I have spoken to you from this office, where
so many decisions have been made that shaped the history of this
State. Each time I have done so to discuss with you some matter
that I believe affected the state's interest.

In all the decisions I have made in my public life, I have always
tried to do what was best for the myself. Throughout the long and
difficult period of Prostogate, I have felt it was my duty to
persevere, to make every possible effort to complete the term of
office to which you elected me.

In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I
no longer have a strong enough political base in the capital to
justify continuing that effort. As long as there was such a base, I
felt strongly that it was necessary to see the constitutional
process through to its conclusion, that to do otherwise would be
unfaithful to the spirit of that deliberately difficult process and
a dangerously destabilizing precedent for the future.

Saddam Hussein had no direct ties to al-Qaida, says Pentagon study

This article was first published on guardian.co.uk on Thursday March
13 2008. It was last updated at 00:35 on March 13 2008.

A US military study officially acknowledged for the first time
yesterday that Saddam Hussein had no direct ties to al-Qaida,
undercutting the Bush administration's central case for war with Iraq.

The Pentagon study based on more than 600,000 documents recovered
after US and UK troops toppled Hussein in 2003, discovered "no
'smoking gun' (ie, direct connection) between Saddam's Iraq and
al-Qaida", its authors wrote.
George Bush and his senior aides have made numerous attempts to link
Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda terror in their justification for waging
war against Iraq.
