Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, has welcomed the news of Cuba's possible release of 52 political prisoners a day after the country's Catholic Church made the announcement. The Cuban government has not made an official statement on the reported move but jailed Cuban dissident Guillermo Farinas, who demanded the release of dozens of political prisoners, ended his 135-day hunger strike on Thursday following the church's announcement. And Spain, which brokered the reported release agreement, is now asking the European Union to rethink its position on Cuba. Human rights activists, however, are questioning whether there has been any improvement in the communist state's rights record. Al Jazeera's Teresa Bo reports. (July 09, 2010)

There is only 1 real answer: Simply spend less than you take in! There's $13 Trillion in US National Debt on the books so far, and counting ( USdebtClock.org ), totaling over $53 Trillion in unpaid for obligations, already signed into US law. Stack $53T dollars up, and it would go to the moon (238850 miles one-way) and back over 6 1 times! Force politicians to face the NATIONAL DEBT problems! Without decisive government spending cuts, this will certainly ruin all Americans. There is no free lunch... Believe it when credible people are ringing alarm bells, including: former US Comptroller General David Walker (Government Accounting Office), Warren Buffett, Alan Greenspan, Ron Paul, Paul O'Neill, Robert Rubin, Paul Volcker, Bob Bixby. Watch more at www.youtube.com (short movie) or www.ioUSAtheMovie.com or better yet, buy or rent the DVD! IOUSA quote "Wake up, America! We're on the brink of a financial meltdown. IOUSA boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions."

Groups are condemning the Chinese regime's treatment of lawyer Chen Guangcheng. Chen is known for defending the rights of women forced to have late-term abortions under China's one-child policy. He was released from jail last week, but Chinese authorities are still keeping him and his family under house arrest. The international community is calling on the Chinese regime to stop its surveillance of human rights lawyer Chen Guangcheng. Chen was released from jail a week ago after completing a four-year prison term. He's suffering from health problems, but is not able to seek medical treatment because eastern Shandong Province authorities are keeping him and his family under house arrest. Hong Kong legislator Albert Ho is the Chairman of China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group, a local rights advocate. He says the Chinese regime has resorted to gangland tactics in its treatment of human rights defenders like Chen. [Albert Ho, Chairperson of China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group]: "[The regime] is now completely without reason, and flagrantly using violence to repress its own citizens. I believe this is intolerable, and if it continues, it will spark a bigger and stronger reaction." In an online statement, Amnesty International says Chen is effectively a prisoner in his own home, and calls on the Chinese regime to, (quote) "end this harassment and surveillance." Chen Guangcheng is a blind self-taught lawyer, and began defending the rights of farmers and the disabled in <b>...</b>

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Koh Kong, Cambodia by TravelPod blogger Varney titled "Koh Mak to Koh Kong" Varney's travel blog entry: "After another lazy day on the beach, our time at Koh Mak had come to an end. We had a fantastic time on the island - the folks at TK Hut were extremely friendly and they all turned out to say goodbye to us. Quite sad really, but we'll no doubt be back sooner or later. We can definitely recommend TK Hut, and even their restaurant - super good food, cheap and huge portions (we often just shared a meal instead of taking one each like we normally would), plus they run the local bakery, so the breakfast bread was great :) We were still hoping for a direct boat to Cambodia on Sunday, but the guy running it was still on holiday, so no go this week. Full details we found out later - the contact person in Cambodia is Thomas at Neptune Guesthouse (011984 512), runs every Sunday from Koh Mak to Had Lek via Koh Kood, and then comes back every Monday. The return trip leaves Hat Lek 10am and is at Koh Mak by 11:30am - presumably the trip from the islands is about the same time. On Koh Mak, TK Hut has more information. Boat only runs between October and April and every Sunday/Monday means except for those weeks that he is on holiday :) Anyway, so we gave up on the direct boat and booked speed boat tickets back to Laem Ngop/Trat (Leelawadee Speedboats via Makathane Resort, 450B 1hr).

Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange may be in a legal fight against being sent to Sweden over sexual assault accusations, but he is also set for another UK court battle. He is threatening to bring a libel action against the Guardian newspaper, which helped release American war logs and secret diplomatic cables obtained by Wikileaks. Assange is understood to be angry at claims in a book the newspaper published about the whistle-blowing website. The book says Assange believed that informants mentioned in leaked war documents would deserve it, if they were killed as a result of the leaks. And as Laura Emmet has found out, this is not the only thing the Guardian has done to cause cracks in their relationship with Assang
