News: Oh What a World...

• Zimbabwe: “Well, shit. These new people who won the election might put us on trial for human rights abuses. So clearly the solution is to commit MORE abuses to keep power.” Idiots.
• More on Zim: The ZEC continues to withhold election results, Mugabe continues to waver between considering a run-off, a transitional government, and flat-out rule by decree. (I’d almost bet money that he’ll go with the later. Just a hunch.) And then he says he’ll leave as long as he’s granted immunity from prosecution. Bullshit. If the MDC agrees to such terms, the ICC needs to prosecute, because you shouldn’t be able to rule a country like a tyrant for almost 30 years and get away with it.
• China: Amnesty International Appeal for Action—send a letter condemning the conviction of human rights activist Hu Jia.
• U.S.: A succinctly well-put blog on the Yoo memo, by Tom Dickinson of Rolling Stone: National Affairs Daily.
• Somalia: Rebel attacks on government forces continue, with civilians caught in the crossfire, of course. This time a passenger bus was hit by a shell.
