AMERICAS ROUND-UP: In Argentina,
kidnappings for ransom are up 16-fold since the beginning of the nation's economic crisis in 2002. And Fidel is
going to war with the
EU. But on a brighter note, Kirchner is calling for
massive impeachments against the nation's (Menemist, and perceived-corrupt) Supreme Court, beginning with its president. And Secretary Powell is touring hemispheric capitals to
mend neglected relationships with America's neighbors, with
BA next on the list. Finally, Mexico signs into law a
massive anti-discrimination statute which had been reputed to have low chances of passing.
So there: good news as well as bad news.
