Hi Ed,
Another Kiwi web site to keep an eye on is
www.scoop.co.nz
This is another one of the sites out there with enough balls to publish what is going on in this world and broke the story on how the last two US elections were manipulated via dodgy voting machines and other practices.
One story that interests me at the moment is how Venezuela (where there have been recent attempts to overthrow President Chavez - possibly by USA forces to gain access to their oil) has donated two million dollars PLUS two mobile medical units capable of attending to 150 persons each, ten water purifying plants, eight electricity generators with a capacity of 850 kilo watts each, 20 tons of bottled drinking water, 50 tons of canned food.

And this is from someone who we are told is a nasty man and should be toppled *cough* another Saddam *cough* ???
