Quick Links: Germany, Iran, American TV, Jacksonian etc

Posted by Editors in German Politics on Sunday, October 22. 2006

• "Keen to clear up the accusations raised by former Guantanamo inmate Murat Kurnaz that he was physically abused by elite German soldiers, the German parliament will set up an investigative committee to look at the case."

• "Germany, France and Britain have put finishing touches on a draft resolution on UN Security Council sanctions against Iran for its refusal to halt uranium enrichment."

• German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier suggests the establishment of an independent, shared enrichment plant under IAEA control on an "extraterritorial" plot with a status similar to U.N.'s in New York.

• Via: Kosmoblog: Joschka Fischer, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke at the Foreign Policy Association (FPA) in NYC about the state and challenges for the transatlantic relationship, Iran, terrorism etc. Transcript and video availabel at FPA.

• "New studies in Germany shed light on the twin problems of growing poverty and a deficit in the child-welfare system."

• The Karnick blog thinks that "the reports of an increasingly tense relationship between the United States and Europe may be a bit exaggerated", because American TV series are very popular in Europe.

• Bruce Miller has added "a 20th century Jacksonian to the blog title: Kurt Schumacher, leader of the German Social Democratic Party from 1946 until his death in 1952."

Very interesting articles. Thank you. I have been on the road for a week and hurting for good thought-pieces to chew on. I did get a lot of great daydreaming done, though.
