Sunday Update

Votergate.tv has video of the Volusia county election fraud uncovered by Bev Harris of blackboxvoting.org (see the post below). It certainly seems that Volusia at least will require a new vote, and a swing against Bush would surely raise questions about the validity of the whole election in the US public's mind (and in the mainstream media) - wouldn't it???

Meanwhile the Nader recount in New Hampshire (where Kerry won anyway) is progressing slowly, with results expected next week.

Election officials hoped to finish recounts in five of Nader’s 11 precincts Thursday, but only finished two by 4 p.m., Gardner said. Those areas, Litchfield and Manchester’s Ward 7, showed little change from the official tallies.

One can only wonder if the Nader campaign are even recounting REAL votes or not... Common Dreams has a fresh update on the whole vote fraud issue here, in which pollster John Zogby expresses serious concern about the November 2 result.

In Iraq, where new outbreaks of violence are exploding across the country, captors have freed a blonde female Polish hostage (believed to be the only blonde female hostage in Iraq). So who was the blonde lady on the alleged Margaret Hassan video?

It's being reported that the United States, Germany and other G7 nations have agreed to write off up to 80 per cent of Iraq's $US120 billion foreign debt. But have they really? The same report says that "the tentative agreement would be put to other Paris Club members, who have been meeting in Paris" and "sources said there was still a disagreement about the timetable for debt reduction and conditions."
