Looks nice, if it catered for the work-arounds, bugs and idiosyncrasies of browsers.

"...extremely valuable Iraqi intelligence archives discovered at Iraqi intelligence headquarters in Baghdad and at sub-departments of Saddam's clandestine machine never before known to exist. The only data released are a few leaks to the British media calculated to help prime minister Tony Blair stand up to anti-war campaigners at home and around Europe.
I wonder. The US had over a year to plan the after effects of war, gaming the scenarios, the political situations. It would be very, very easy to slip in a few pages. I do wonder if the Scottish MP did accept money from Saddam. I'd hate that to be true.

From this treasure trove, America has distributed to its war allies some materials relevant to their national security.... The US has secretly handed over to various Middle East and Persian Gulf governments the names of ministers and public figures who were handsomely rewarded by Saddam Hussein for supporting his case... In Qatar and Jordan expect overnight resignations of senior cabinet members. "
Resignations in Jordan?

Some sources say that the ties linking the two families (Chirac/Hussain) were deep and ramified. Their exposure is likely to raise a storm.
Saddam did visit only one Western country 30 years ago, France, and met Chirac. This is the rouble when you have one President, King or Tyrant in office for too long -- nepotism.

US officials believe they have sufficient grounds for demanding Dr. ElBaradaiÕs removal... their preferred candidate for his replacement in Vienna is Prince Hassan of Jordan, brother and former crown prince of King Hussein and uncle of King Abdullah.
Some go out and others come in, what a strange soap opera.

Rice Says France, Germany Took NATO 'Hostage': It was very unsettling that Germany and France tried to prevent NATO from reinforcing the security of Turkey. There were many unsettling things in that process.
That was a bit odd. I remember the Scottish Secretary of NATO, after he sidestepped by a procedural trick, France's objection, sounding very pissed off with France. And the ensuing debate over the schisms within the European Union and NATO which would reverberate long after a probable war. Well, here we are, and it's payback time.

The United States did not divide the Europeans...It wasn't us that threatened smaller countries with reprisals nor tried to shut up the countries of Eastern Europe
France used a heavy stick, and seemed to me at the time, to stick their neck out. Mind the US used bribary and strong arm methods too, no doubt, and Blair made it plain how far he was sticking his neck out. Could it really be true, that France took the 'peace' route just because his family was friends with Saddam's family?

France helped Iraqis escape: The French government secretly supplied fleeing Iraqi officials with passports in Syria that allowed them to escape to Europe.
Boy! It gets worse. Why on earth would France do such? Knowing there would be come-back.

America's weapons evidence flawed, say spies: One former CIA official told Mr Hersh, the veteran New Yorker investigative reporter, "One of the reasons I left was my sense that they, the PentagonÕs Office of Special Plans (OSP) were using the intelligence from the CIA and other agencies only when it fits their agenda. They were so crazed and so far out and so difficult to reason with . . . as if they were on a mission from God. If it doesnÕt fit their theory, they don't want to accept it."
There's terrible confusion and counter-confusion going on here. This is black arts looking up their own arse. The whole geo-power/geo-political situation is haywire. To find the missing WMD is paramount. To forget that Iraqi nuclear plants would have valuable materials to a terrorist, just isn't possible. Somebody decided to let that one go. Or, to let the idea out that there still are bogey men, even if there aren't WMD in Iraq.

Chalabi threatens to lift lid on Saddam links: Ahmad Chalabi, the exiled financier promoted by the Pentagon as a leader of postwar Iraq, claims to have obtained 25 tonnes of intelligence documents detailing Saddam Hussein's relationship with foreign governments and Arab leaders... Chalabi has already threatened to use the papers to damage the Jordanian royal family... worried about what'll come out in his relationship with Saddam and the satellite television service al-Jazeera... working for Iraqi intelligence.
I bet France as was as Jordan are really fucked up about the forth coming 'secrets.'

"Wednesday 30th April 2003, 11:29 GMT

Owners of the only two Series 60-based smartphones on the market - the Nokia 7650 and 3650 - now have yet another browser to surf the full Internet with.

At the Symbian Exposium in London, UK, Opera Software yesterday launched yet another version of its browser for a Symbian OS based platform. Having already introduced versions for Nokia's Series 80 and the UIQ platform, the Norway-based company announced the immediate availability of its browser for devices based on Nokia's Series 60 platform"

Now, that's more like it.

"Besides the Nokia 9210i Communicator, Nokia has launched three other phones supporting XHTML. Those are the Nokia 6590 and Nokia 3590 for GSM 850/1900 networks and the Nokia 3585 for CDMA2000 1X networks in the US market. The Nokia 3585 has an operator choice of XHTML browser. The Nokia 6590 and Nokia 3590 have a dual-mode browser, which natively supports both WML1.x and XHTML Mobile Profile & WAP CSS. The XHTML Mobile Profile is a strict subset of XHTML 1.1, which includes all of XHTML Basic plus some additional elements and features from full XHTML 1.1. Therefore, all XHTML Mobile Profile documents are also valid XHTML 1.1 documents."

It's not clear what browser they're talking about, suspect it is Opera. Sounds like these two 6590 and 3590 are what I'm after. [Later... Nope, they've black and white screens, this article's from April 2002. So it's not Opera, but good history/background about the XHTML.]

"Content reformatting - Instead of presenting table content in columns and rows, tables are reformatted into a one-dimensional structure that better fits smaller screens. Opera can selectively scale down large images or remove those that are superfluous, as well as some other tricks that make the pages fit small screens. And as a result, the user has no need for a horizontal scrollbar. Zooming - Additionally, Opera can zoom pages in and out, and this is a powerful way to get the overview of a complex Web page, while also being able to magnify certain parts of the page. Visually impaired users can zoom out on a page to achieve legible font sizes for reading. By reversing the operation, Opera can show a Web page written for desktop on a small screen." Hmmm. The tables thing is a bit worrying. Zooming sounds wonderful.
