Aubry prend la tête du PS
Réuni à la Mutualité à Paris, le conseil national du parti
socialiste a validé mardi soir les résultats du scrutin de vendredi et
désigné Martine Aubry comme nouveau premier secrétaire. Sans
reconnaître sa défaite, Ségolène Royal appelle ses partisans à rester
au PS.
Après quatre jours de
querelles qui ont plongé le Parti socialiste dans l'une des pires
crises de son histoire, Martine Aubry a été officiellement élue au
poste de premier secrétaire.
Martine Aubry, lundi 24 novembre à la mairie de
Lille. Mardi soir, à la Mutualité, elle s'est déclarée "fière de
devenir la première femme premier secrétaire du parti socialiste".
L'ancienne ministre de l'Emploi, symbole de la gauche plurielle et
des 35 heures, l'emporte finalement de 102 voix sur Ségolène Royal, qui
a promis de poursuivre, de l'intérieur, la "bataille" de la rénovation.
Les deux rivales se sont embrassées après l'annonce de la validation
de la victoire de la maire de Lille par le Conseil national, le "Parlement" du parti, réuni dans la salle de La Mutualité à Paris.

Iterasi - Every day you find web pages you may never see again. Which is fine, unless you actually need that information.
Iterasi
It's a very impressive collection. And now the digital versions, like the printed ones, are a permanent part of the world's history."
"At iterasi, we love the Web. So much so, that we want to keep it. Forever.
That's why we're taking steps to move beyond traditional bookmarking. Because, these days, saving the address of a page isn't half as important as being able to save the page you created.
Our first product, iterasi, makes it simple for any Web user to save the dynamically generated pages that are increasingly becoming the bulk of today's Web experience. With iterasi, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, and database driven technologies, like PHP and ASP, can all be saved—in their current state—with the push of a button."

A. The more details emerge, the clearer it becomes that Washington’s handling of the Wall Street bailout is not merely incompetent. It is borderline criminal,” says Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine.
B. John Brennan and Jami Miscik, both former intelligence officials under George Tenet, are leading Barack Obama’s review of intelligence agencies and helping make recommendations to the new administration. Brennan has supported warrantless wiretapping and extraordinary rendition, and Miscik was involved with the politicized intelligence alleging weapons of mass destruction in the lead-up to the war on Iraq. We speak with former CIA analyst Melvin Goodman and Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
C. During an interview on 60 Minutes last night President-elect Barack Obama said he plans to close the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay and rebuild the nation’s moral stature. Last week, the Associated Press reported Obama advisers are crafting a plan that would put some Guantanamo Bay prisoners in front of a new court system designed to handle so-called “national security” cases.

Obama considering Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State
As the press pool following President-elect Barack Obama waited for
him to emerge from his Transition Team headquarters in Chicago Thursday
afternoon, someone else's motorcade of three SUVs emerged from the same
underground garage.
This development coincides with NBC news quoting two Obama advisors
saying that Obama was considering Sen. Hillary Clinton for the position
of Secretary of State.
Clinton was seen taking a flight to Chicago Thursday, NBC reported,
though that was reportedly for personal business, though it did not
preclude the possibility of a meeting between Obama and Clinton, NBC
reported.
