Kristi King discusses a blog comment about Amanda Knox's exoneration for murder in Italy. The comment argues that the prosecutor's fixation on a theory of sex and sadomasochism seemed to stem from his own unwanted desires for Knox, rather than from evidence. It asserts that without Italy's automatic appeal for convicted murderers, Knox may never have gained her freedom, and notes that in the US she would have faced challenges appealing a non-capital conviction. The comment is grateful that others were able to look past the prosecutor's claims and properly conclude that Knox should be set free.

Legalizing drugs may be the best option for Mexico to stop the violence of drug cartels, as their border situation is extreme and cartels are bringing corruption into the U.S. as well. If Mexico can end the power of cartels through legalization, it would save Texas a significant amount of money spent fighting the drug war at their shared border, while also boosting Mexico's economy. The author hopes Mexico seriously considers legalization since corruption and cartels are making an already difficult situation much worse.

La disputa comercial entre EEUU y China sobre las restricciones de exportaciΓ³n de minerales de tierras raras impuestas por China ha llevado a una denuncia ante la OMC.
