Il presidente del Centro siciliano di Documentazione "Peppino Impastato", Umberto Santino, č stato condannato nei mesi scorsi a pagare 7500 euro per diffamazione del politico siciliano Calogero Mannino in quanto nel pubblicare un testo anonimo che girava a Palermo dopo le stragi del 1993 Santino ne avrebbe condiviso il contenuto. Inutile la difesa di Santino che ha ricordato che il suo č stato un lavoro storiografico e che per questo ha riportato il testo anonimo. Un testo, afferma Santino, dove "menzogne e veritą si mescolano" e che "puņ essere unindicazione di piste valide oppure unaccorta operazione di depistaggio o tutte e due insieme. Le associazioni antimafia affermano che sentenze del genere minano la possibilitą di ricerche storiografiche e l'interesse pubblico alla conoscenza e all'approfondimento di fenomeni sociali come la contiguitą tra mafia e politica e rilanciano un appello per "la libertą di stampa nella lotta antimafia".

Tanskassa julkaistujen Muhammed-pilakuvien jälkipuinti osoitti, etteivät EU-maat ole yksimielisiä ulkomaalaiskysymyksen suhteen. Suomessakin pohdittiin sitä, voisiko meillä käydä näin. Kysymykseen siitä, voisiko meillä käydä näin, ei ole selvää vastausta. Ruotsiin verrattuna sekä Suomessa että Tanskassa asenteet ulkomaalaisia kohtaan ovat kielteisempiä, mutta kuitenkin yleensä yli eurooppalaisen keskiarvon.

Nuestro Premio Nóbel de la Paz, hoy Presidente de la Repśblica, Dr. Oscar Arias Sįnchez, en vez de pacificar al paķs haciendo de mediador entre los dos polos opuestos (...) fomenta la confrontación.
