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.
