Democracy Now är ett progressivt amerikanskt nyhetsprogram som led av Amy Goodman och som sänds fem dagar i veckan.

Orsaken till att jag sänder det här på bloggen är att det ger en inblick i den kritiska inställning som miljoner amerikaner har till sin egen regering.

Det här är ett tecken på att USA fortfarande åtnjuter yttrandefrihet men också att det faktiskt finns en frän debatt om de flesta frågor här i landet.

Amy Goodman har ocksÃ¥ ett inlägg till 40:Ã¥rsdagen av Che Guevrasa död: The Life & Legacy of Latin American Revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara: Forty Years After His Death

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the death of one of the most influential figures of the last century — Latin American revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara. Born in Argentina in 1928, Che rose to international prominence as one of the key leaders of the 1959 Cuban Revolution that overthrew dictator Fulgencio Batista.

After a period in the new Cuban government leadership, Che aimed to spark revolutionary activity internationally. In 1965, he led a secret Cuban operation aiding and training rebels in the Congo. One year later, Che was in Bolivia, helping to lead an uprising against the U.S.-backed government. On October 8, 1967, Che was captured by Bolivian troops working with the CIA. He was executed one day later.

Commemorations are underway today in Cuba, Bolivia and around the world. Some ten thousand people turned out Monday for a ceremony in Santa Clara, Cuba. Che’s daughter Aleida Guevara addressed the crowd.
