This article focuses on several political developments in the U.S. and at international level, as of August 6, 2001. The G-8 summit at Genoa, Italy was characterized by bloody confrontations and demonstrations. The courage, coalition and commitment that have unfolded from Seattle 1999 to Genoa 2001 define a movement that, despite outer repression and inner divisions, cannot be stopped until the global decision-making system is radically reformed. In another development, anonymous leakers of Washington are whispering that Brent Scowcroft, National Security advisor to former U.S. President George Bush, is in line to become head of U.S. President George W. Bush's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.
