Roma Defenseless against Extremist Vigilantes
Right-wing extremists have been on the rise for years in Hungary, and

GUANTANAMO'S CHILD SOLDIERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Files Reveal Many Inmates Were Minors
The Guantanamo files reveal many of the inmates in the controversial
detention camp were under 18 at the time of their capture and that the
charges against them were often based on hearsay. Even detainees who US
interrogators admitted were innocent had to wait a long time before
being freed.

Support Broadens for Border-Free Travel Changes
Several European countries have voiced cautious support for adjustments
to Europe's Schengen border-free travel agreement. Given the ongoing

aftermath of a financial crisis. But he has proved popular with the
electorate, and his success has raised a question: Do outsiders make
better crisis managers?
