* Fisk: "(Lebanon's) elections scheduled for May will have to be postponed - despite the demand of Presidents George Bush and Jacques Chirac that they be held on time... Wondrous things are thus happening in Lebanon; their results may be less than wonderful." LINK

* "AMY GOODMAN: So during the time of the Pope's death, we got very little coverage of this massive protest. I don't know if the U.S. media would have covered it anyway, but something like, what, 300,000 Mexicans marched in the streets of Mexico City last week? " LINK

* james wolcott and robert fisk both, separately, declare Rachel Corrie be remembered across the ages.
