Current Events and people?

I need some current events and people that took place between the year 06-07. The current event has to be one that you think will most likely be published in history books later on.


The same for current important people. Besides Bush and the war in Iraq!!!

Current Events and people?
A new quest for the seven wonders of the world was started,can't remember when or if they have been announced yet.
Reply:The civil war in Sudan/Darfur and how the world ignored the genocide.
Reply:The fiasco, lawsuits and criminal prosecution surrounding Valerie Plame, Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney and Bob Novak should be one for the history books. (The fact that Karl Rove has so far not been involved is most curious.)


Here is an overview:


Valerie Plame Wilson, former covert CIA agent, and her husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador, sued Vice President Dick Cheney, his former top aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, and presidential adviser Karl Rove in July, claiming they conspired to destroy Plame Wilson's career by leaking her identity to the media. In a July 2003 column, Joseph Wilson discredited President Bush's claim—and a justification for war in Iraq—that Saddam Hussein was pursuing a nuclear weapons program by seeking to obtain uranium from Niger. Shortly after Wilson publicized his views, columnist Robert Novak identified Plame Wilson as a CIA agent who specializes in weapons of mass destruction. Wilson believes the Bush administration leaked his wife's name as retribution. Novak has said that Rove was one of his sources for his column. In August, former deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage acknowledged that he was Novak's primary source for the information on Plame Wilson.





A CIA officer's name was blown,there was a leak and we needto figure out how that happened, who did it, why and whether a crime was committed. National security was at stake and it was especially important to find out accurate facts. Libby was charged with lying to FBI agents and to the grand jury about conversations with reporters.
