The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Good News/Bad News

For John, BLUFIn Muslim Arab nations there are elements that want to go back to the old days, when it was the woman's fault.  Nothing to see; just move along.

In Tunisia a woman was sentenced to six months in jail for public indency after she was raped by two policemen, at least according to al Jazeera.  The good news is that it was only a six month jail sentence.  The bad news is that this is a setback for women's rights in a nation that is fairly democratic in its outlook.

I found this report in an EMail from our Federal Government's Overseas Security Advisory Council, "Global Security and News Reports" (Bureau of Diplomatic Security), with a link to the al Jazeera article.
