FTAA:
Free Trade Area of the Americas talks start here in Miami this week. Herald coverage. I posted links for information on FTAA here last week.
Also, Miami blogger Marc Kevin Hall (Hidden City) posted good FTAA links this week.

Although some say the media hysteria over FTAA protesters is highly inflated (One local TV station showed a heavily tattooed and pierced anarchist saying "F.... you" to the cops, over and over and over), there is some concern over whether we'll have trouble getting to the downtown Miami Herald building this week. Stay tuned.
