+ <div class="date">22nd March 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>The leaders of the worlds have started to congratulate the
+re-elected Russian head of state, and this causes some criticism. I
+am though a little fascinated by a comment from USA senator John McCain,
+<a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/379339-mccain-rips-trumps-congratulatory-call-to-putin-as-insult-to-russian-people">sited
+by The Hill and others</a>:
+
+<p><blockquote>
+<p>"An American president does not lead the Free World by
+congratulating dictators on winning sham elections."</p>
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>While I totally agree with the senator here, the way the quote is
+phrased make me suspect that he is unaware of the simple fact that USA
+have not lead the Free World since at least before its government
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar">kidnapped a
+completely innocent Canadian citizen in transit on his way home to
+Canada via John F. Kennedy International Airport in September 2002 and
+sent him to be tortured in Syria for a year</a>.</p>
+
+<p>USA might be running ahead, but the path they are taking is not the
+one taken by any Free World.</p>

- <div class="date"> 7th January 2018</div>
- <div class="body"><p>I've continued to track down list of movies that are legal to
-distribute on the Internet, and identified more than 11,000 title IDs
-in The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) so far. Most of them (57%) are
-feature films from USA published before 1923. I've also tracked down
-more than 24,000 movies I have not yet been able to map to IMDB title
-ID, so the real number could be a lot higher. According to the front
-web page for <a href="https://retrofilmvault.com/">Retro Film
-Vault</A>, there are 44,000 public domain films, so I guess there are
-still some left to identify.</p>
-
-<p>The complete data set is available from
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/public-domain-free-imdb">a
-public git repository</a>, including the scripts used to create it.
-Most of the data is collected using web scraping, for example from the
-"product catalog" of companies selling copies of public domain movies,
-but any source I find believable is used. I've so far had to throw
-out three sources because I did not trust the public domain status of
-the movies listed.</p>
-
-<p>Anyway, this is the summary of the 28 collected data sources so
-far:</p>

- 63 entries ( 16 unique) with and 141 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-vodo.json

-</pre></p>
-
-<p> I keep finding more data sources. I found the cinemovies source
-just a few days ago, and as you can see from the summary, it extended
-my list with 63 movies. Check out the mklist-* scripts in the git
-repository if you are curious how the lists are created. Many of the
-titles are extracted using searches on IMDB, where I look for the
-title and year, and accept search results with only one movie listed
-if the year matches. This allow me to automatically use many lists of
-movies without IMDB title ID references at the cost of increasing the
-risk of wrongly identify a IMDB title ID as public domain. So far my
-random manual checks have indicated that the method is solid, but I
-really wish all lists of public domain movies would include unique
-movie identifier like the IMDB title ID. It would make the job of
-counting movies in the public domain a lot easier.</p>
