	my cynical take on this is lula is dangling this bomb out in front
of the military, so they either fight each other over control of this
ghost or are actually kept happy by having it.

	which has decided that its press accreditaion will have two
levels, one for mainstream media, and one for "alternative" media.  the
latter of which is denied the subsidy of accessing the press facilities
(computer labs, interview rooms, etc...).  certainly is shaping up to be
interesting.  brasil.indymedia.org is organizing some coverage.
