Dec. 13 - Some quick hits on the ongoing discussions over the proposed EU Constitution:

Blair cast as summit peacemaker.

A leader (editorial) in the Telegraph: Don't mention Superstate.

European Union factfile.

British protesters at the conference were arrested in what the Sun (UK) calls an Assault on Free Speech in and, yes it does sound somewhat trumped up.

The Sun Says Liberty? Pah!.

What I've resented most were the attempts to compare it to the US Constitution, a document which restricted centralized power instead of greedily hoarding it, but it does look as though closer scrutiny has alarmed enough people to sink this power grab.

UPDATE: Expat Yank has come more links on the EU Constitutution and also wonders how us simpletons in the USA can write an enduring document at 9 pages but the more sophisticated Europeans need 256 pages.
