Vietnam: Catholics protest in Cau Ram over historic church turned into flats
The Vietnamese government had recognised the area as a ‘memorial site’ because it was damaged by US planes. Local officials have signed a deal with a contractor worth millions of dollars.
Hanoi – Waving Vatican flags, Catholics (pictured) from Cau Ram, Yen Dai and Ke Gai parishes in the Cau Ram deanery (Vinh Diocese) met on Sunday to demonstrate against a decision by local authorities to turn land belonging to Church in Cau Ram into a residential area. During the war, the area was occupied by a military base. When hostilities ended, the Vietnamese government declared the area a ‘memorial site’ to be “preserved and protected for future generations in memory of American war crimes.” Located near a lake, the parish buildings, including the sacristy, offices and priest residence were heavily damaged by US bombs.

Vietnamese Social Network Says 'Good Morning Vietnam,' Goodbye Facebook
When the pilot version of the go.vn site (www.goonline) was launched this week, it caused a bit of an international dust-up with one major social network and the netizens of Vietnam. Seems like Facebook can't cut a break any where in the world these days!
According to an AFP wire, some believe that the site was created as a result of allegations that

the government restricted Facebook and hacked numerous political Web sites. The Minister of Information and Communication Le Doan Hop dismissed this charge plus another that the network was developed to eliminate Google and Yahoo.

Vietnam's high-speed railway to come with hefty price tag
Hanoi - Vietnam's proposal to build a 56-billion-dollar high-speed railway from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City may be more than the country can afford, economists and National Assembly deputies said Friday.The government submitted its plan for the railway, to be built with Japanese technical assistance, to the National Assembly on Thursday.The railway would stretch 1,570 kilometres and cut the travel time between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City from at least 36 hours today to under 10 hours. Foreign development assistance and loans from the World Bank would be needed to finance the project. Critics say the debt would be too large to recoup at realistic ticket prices in a low- to middle-income country like Vietnam.

Once a refugee from Vietnam, lawyer turns adversity into advantage
There are two ways to look at Anh Le Kremer’s career.
One is that she’s overcome significant adversities to get to where she is. The other is that she’s turned those very adversities into a competitive advantage.
In either case, Anh Le Kremer has accomplished more by age 33 than some do in their whole career, despite a rough start.
Kremer was born in Vietnam, and her family decided to leave the war-torn country when she was 3. They did so on a fisherman’s boat — with 300 other people. The boat drifted in the Pacific for 2½ weeks before an Italian cargo ship picked them up.

Trước đó 4 năm, bác sĩ Nguyễn Đan Quế và nhiều nhà dân chủ khác đã công bố một cương lĩnh phong trào tranh đấu bất bạo động lấy tên là Cao Trào Nhân Bản.

Political dirty trick played on San Jose City Council candidate Magdalena Carrasco
SAN JOSE, Calif.—San Jose officials are calling for an investigation after someone sent out a weekend flyer aimed at discrediting a City Council candidate by including a flag of Communist Vietnam.
The mailer claimed to be from the campaign of Magdalena Carrasco. It showed Carrasco next to an image of the Vietnamese flag—which would offend Vietnamese-Americans, who make up about 10 percent of voters in District 5.
Carrasco's manager says the campaign learned of the flyer on Saturday when upset Vietnamese-Americans began calling.
Carrasco calls the flyer disgusting and Mayor Chuck Reed has called for an investigation.
Two of Carrasco's opponents have condemned the mailing.
