Son of Iran candidate ally died after beating:

And this coming from the country that calls The U.S. the great Satan , and says that we commit human rights atrocities !

TEHRAN (Reuters) - The son of an adviser to a defeated Iranian presidential candidate died after being beaten in jail, a semi-official news agency reported on Monday, citing a report from the coroner's office.

A reformist website last month said the son of Abdolhossein Ruholamini, who advised conservative Mohsen Rezaie in the disputed June presidential election, was killed in a Tehran prison after being detained in post-vote unrest.

Officials have said Mohsen Ruholamini died of meningitis. He was held in Tehran's Kahrizak jail, where many opposition protesters arrested after the disputed election were taken.

The Mehr news agency, citing an informed source, said the coroner's office, had submitted a report on the case to the legal authorities.

"According to that report, the main causes of his death were physical stress, frequent beatings and hitting a solid object on his head," Mehr quoted its source as saying, adding he died while being transferred to a hospital.

Mehr did not give further detail and there was no immediate comment from the authorities.

Lockerbie bomber release linked to oil deal:

Again we see "normal" people getting the shaft by those who are the supposed leaders of the masses , and the rich ! All the build up for this meatbag , Megrahi , and his Compassionate release , was just a bunch of B.S , a cover for an oil deal that will line the pockets of the rich (BP)!
A boycott of B.P Should be in order for there part !
And the rest , the voters will take care of them !
The 270 that were killed on flight 103 , never received compassion , Megrahi , deserves a bullet in his head !

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain agreed to include Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset al-Megrahi in a prisoner transfer deal with Libya because of "overwhelming interests" shortly before an oil deal was sealed with Tripoli, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The Sunday Times said leaked letters from Justice Secretary Jack Straw undermined government denials of a link between the former Libyan agent's freedom and British trade interests.

Megrahi, 57, was released from jail on August 20 after Scottish authorities said his terminal cancer gave compassionate grounds for him to return home to die.

The British government has distanced itself from the decision, made by Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill, which has angered many relatives of the bombing's victims and the United States government, which lost 189 citizens.
Megrahi was the only person convicted of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie that killed 270 people. His rapturous reception in Tripoli has been criticized by the British and U.S. governments.

The Sunday Times said two letters from Straw, dated five months apart, showed he reversed an original plan to exclude Megrahi from a prisoner transfer agreement that was being discussed with Libya.

The paper said the change of heart appeared to be linked to a stalled $900 million oil and gas exploration deal with Libya for British oil giant BP that was ratified a few weeks later.

BP has always denied any link between the deal and the prisoner agreement.

Straw wrote to MacAskill in July 2007 to say he favored excluding Megrahi from the prisoner transfer, an arrangement desired by the Scottish administration which has autonomous powers over most criminal matters.

But by December 2007 he told MacAskill his position had changed.

Suicide bomber training camp destroyed in Swat

This has to be a big let down for a suicide bomber , having your ass blown up by somebody else ! Allah will not be pleased with these ones !

Dawn.com
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's army says helicopter gunships have destroyed a training camp for suicide bombers and killed six Taliban militants in the troubled Swat Valley.

The army says several more militants were wounded when the helicopter gunships pounded the camp, located on a small island in the Swat River opposite the town of Charbagh.

The army said in a statement Saturday that the overnight operation followed reports by intelligence agents and local residents of the presence of suicide attack masterminds on the island. It said people trained in the camp were to be used to bomb cities in Swat.

Security forces have been winding down a nearly three-month offensive against Taliban militants in the Swat Valley and surrounding areas.

DHS Clarifies Laptop Border Searches

The new rules leave open the possibility that travelers may face penalties for refusing to provide passwords or encryption keys.

Really ? Well I guess that we all should just go along with this !
The Government says this is how it is ! And they , of course , believe they have the Right to do it !
Government Intrusion is way out of control , just read kyros's post At Report on Arrakis about the Obamasiah wanting control over the internet !
Go Ahead ,your more than welcome to Check my Laptop ! If you can extract it from your ASS First!

Info Week Government
The Department of Homeland Security on Thursday released new directives covering border searches of electronic devices and media, but the government's rules leave open the question of whether individuals can be compelled to provide passwords and encryption keys.

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano in a statement characterized the rules as an attempt to balance the investigatory requirements for fighting crime and terrorism with privacy and civil liberties.

In February, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to reconsider an appeals court ruling that laptops are like suitcases and can be searched at borders without reasonable suspicion.

Laptop searches remain an unusual event for travelers entering the country. More than 221 million travelers passed through U.S. ports of entry between Oct. 1, 2008, and Aug. 11, 2009, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). These entries resulted in about 1,000 laptop searches, only 46 of which were in-depth.

Nevertheless, the DHS policy of treating laptops and electronic devices as the equivalent of suitcases and backpacks in terms of border searches has alarmed business travel and privacy groups.

About two weeks ago, Nate Cardozo, open government legal fellow at the EFF, asked CPB through its online comment system, "If a CBP agent requests my password or encryption key and I refuse to provide it, will I be denied entry, will my laptop be seized, neither or both?"

Good Question!

The response, from a CPB employee identified as Frederick, was: "There is no concrete answer that can be given to your question since it is hypothetical. The outcomes you listed are possible, although a US citizen would not normally be denied entry. The actions that result from a denial to cooperate with a legal search are dependent on the applicable laws as well the discretion of the officers conducting the inspection."

Typical Bad answer full of Bullshit , from a government Agency !

Full Circle: Move to Shift Interrogations Away From CIA Draws Pre-Sept. 11 Comparisons

"The High Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG) is designed to be a multi-agency group, not a sub-unit of the FBI or the Justice Department," Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said in a statement. "Thus, while the HIG will be housed administratively within the National Security Branch of the FBI, the group will be staffed by elements of the intelligence community, and will receive policy guidance and oversight from the National Security Council."

O.K. then , who ? is running the NSC , The White House ?
Might as well just stop interrogations and evidence gathering all together !
Forget that the Radical Islamists openly say that they want to kill Americans ,
forget that Baitullah mehsuds new replacement , Hakeemullah Mehsud , has vowed revenge against the U.S. for Baitullahs death !
Obviously The Obama Administration Knows better !

Fox news
Most of the details behind a White House plan to grab oversight authority over detainee interrogations still need to be ironed out, but critics already are questioning the logic behind the move to yank responsibility from the CIA and hand it to a potentially political and bureaucratic unit.

The changing landscape for how the United States handles terrorism suspects is unmistakable.

Under task force recommendations that President Obama intends to follow, a new High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group will be housed in the FBI and subject to oversight from the White House-based National Security Council.

The head of the unit, while not named, reportedly will be an FBI official and this official, the White House says, will report directly to FBI Director Robert Mueller.

Attorney David Rivkin, a former Justice Department official and frequent critic of the reversal of CIA practices, said the shift brings the fight against terrorism "full circle" to a time when it was treated largely as a criminal crackdown.

"This is a full return to Sept. 10 mentality," he said.

A Saudi Arabian father forced his 10-year-old daughter to return to her 80-year-old husband Sunday, after she was found hiding at the home of her aunt for 10 days, Arab News reported.

The young girl's husband, who denies he is 80 despite family claims, accused the aunt of violating the terms of his marriage, allowed by Sharia Law.

"My marriage is not against Sharia. It included the elements of acceptance and response by the father of the bride,” he told a local newspaper.

A member of the National Society for Human Rights said there are no regulations in place to stop the marriage of young girls, which is seen as harmful to their wellbeing.

“Such marriages are considered a gross violation of charters on the rights of children, which the Kingdom has signed and which set the age of adulthood at 18,” Maatouq Al-Abdullah told Arab News.

Dawn.com
PESHAWAR: Pakistan's Taliban have threatened to avenge the death of their leader in a US missile strike, as experts warned Wednesday of possible attacks by a new leadership keen to prove its strength.

Hakimullah Mehsud late Tuesday declared himself new chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militia, confirming for the first time that Baitullah Mehsud was killed this month.

‘We will take revenge and soon. We will give our reply to this drone attack to America,’ Hakimullah Mehsud told AFP.

On Wednesday another Taliban leader, Wali-ur Rehman, backed Hakimullah’s claim and said he had been appointed rebel chief in the insurgent stronghold of South Waziristan.

‘Myself and the whole of the Taliban movement announced its support for Hakimullah. He is now our new head,’ said Rehman.

‘All the Taliban are united. There are no differences among us... We will continue our struggle against the enemy and our main enemy is America and all those who support, help and side with America against Muslims.’—AFP

Pakistani Taliban confirm leader is dead:

Well it is finally official , Baitullah mehsud is dead ! continue celebrating !
we just have to wait a little longer to find out what happened at the meeting to elect the new leader , who if anyone was killed .
Great news we already new about !

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani Taliban militants have for the first time confirmed that their leader, Baitullah Mehsud, has been killed, the BBC reported on Tuesday.

Pakistani and U.S. officials have been saying for days that Mehsud was killed in a U.S. missile strike in his South Waziristan stronghold near the Afghan border on August 5, but the Taliban have been denying it.

The BBC said on its website two Taliban commanders loyal to Mehsud, Hakimullah Mehsud and Wali-ur-Rehman had confirmed that Baitullah Mehsud had been killed.

Pakistan and U.S. officials have been saying the militants appeared to be in disarray since Mehsud's death, with reports of infighting between factions vying to take command.

Analysts saw the Taliban's earlier denials that Mehsud was dead as an attempt to hide divisions over who should take charge of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or Taliban Movement of Pakistan, alliance of militant factions.

Chechen rebels order separatist leader death

"The court has ruled that the killing of this apostate is a duty for Muslims." It did not say what court had issued the ruling.

The court does not have to !
it just has to make the decision , it is up to the islamic clones to do the rest !

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Chechen rebels called on Tuesday for prominent separatist leader Akhmed Zakayev to be killed, saying he had abandoned Islam by recognizing the legitimacy of the restive region's Kremlin-backed government.

Zakayev, who lives in London, represents the moderate wing of the separatist movement and has clashed with radical Islamist insurgents in Russia's southern republic of Chechnya.

Islamist rebel website www.kavkazcenter.com said Zakayav had recognized the authority of Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed leader of the region.

"Public remarks show that he (Zakayev) has fallen away from Islam," the website said, adding that Doku Umarov, Chechnya's most wanted separatist leader, was behind the order.

"The court has ruled that the killing of this apostate is a duty for Muslims." It did not say what court had issued the ruling.

Bodies of suspected Taliban found in Pakistan's Swat

O.K. so some bodies are being dumped in the fields of swat valley ! They have a pretty good idea they are bad guys !
Is this not a good thing ?

MINGORA, Pakistan (Reuters) - Villagers in Pakistan's Swat valley have found the bodies of 14 suspected militants, reviving concern about extra-judicial killings after a successful army offensive against Taliban militants.

The military went on the offensive in the Taliban bastion of Swat, northwest of Islamabad, in late April and has killed or driven hundreds of al Qaeda-linked insurgents out of the former tourist valley.

But as the army finishes up its searches and residents displaced by the fighting return home, bodies of suspected Taliban members have been turning up.

Fourteen bodies were found late on Monday dumped in fields on the outskirts of Charbagh town, villagers and district officials said.

"The bodies were lying in different fields and had bullet wounds," said Wali Khan, a teacher in the town.

Earlier, about 18 bodies were found in different parts of Swat and the independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said it suspected security agencies had carried out extra-judicial killings.

"We call for a proper investigation to find out who killed them, who were the dead, whether they were militants, innocent people or by-stander," said I.A. Rehman, secretary general of the rights group.

"We've already demanded an investigation but nothing has happened. It's a serious matter and must be looked into."

The military has denied any involvement in the killings.

"This could be a result of revenge by the local people," said military spokesman Major-General Athar Abbas. "It could be a reaction to all that happened to the people in Swat."

Karzai calls on Afghans to defy Taliban and vote

In a series of statements on Wednesday the Taliban said they had infiltrated 20 suicide bombers into Kabul and would close all the country's roads, taking no responsibility for the deaths of anyone who defied them to go to the polls.

It is Statements like this that should encourage the Afghan People to make it to the Polls !
And also should encourage everyone in Afghanistan to help exterminate the Taliban from existence !

KABUL (Reuters) - President Hamid Karzai called on Afghans to defy Taliban threats and vote, hours before polls opened in an election on Thursday that could prove the toughest test yet of his own mandate and his nation's fragile democracy.

Nearly as much as it is a test for Karzai, the election is also a high political hurdle for U.S. President Barack Obama, who has ordered a massive troop build-up this year as part of a strategy to reverse Taliban gains.

Afghan streets were tense with police on round-the-clock shifts. Karzai insisted the Taliban, stronger than at any time since they were toppled in 2001, would fail in their pledge to disrupt the country's second-ever presidential vote.

"Enemies will do their best, but it won't help," he told reporters late on Wednesday.

"I hope that tomorrow our countrymen, millions of them, will come and vote for the country's stability, for the country's peace, for the country's progress."

Building block of life found on comet

Another Piece of the Puzzle To life outside our Planet Has been found !
It was an Amazing feat , that the microscopic particles were even Captured in the First place !
But now we have a little more evidence that life Exists elsewhere !

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The amino acid glycine, a fundamental building block of proteins, has been found in a comet for the first time, bolstering the theory that raw ingredients of life arrived on Earth from outer space, scientists said on Monday.

Microscopic traces of glycine were discovered in a sample of particles retrieved from the tail of comet Wild 2 by the NASA spacecraft Stardust deep in the solar system some 242 million miles (390 million km) from Earth, in January 2004.

Samples of gas and dust collected on a small dish lined with a super-fluffy material called aerogel were returned to Earth two years later in a canister that detached from the spacecraft and landed by parachute in the Utah desert.

Comets like Wild 2, named for astronomer Paul Wild (pronounced Vild), are believed to contain well-preserved grains of material dating from the dawn of the solar system billions of years ago, and thus clues to the formation of the sun and planets.

The initial detection of glycine, the most common of 20 amino acids in proteins on Earth, was reported last year, but it took time for scientists to confirm that the compound in question was extraterrestrial in origin.

"We couldn't be sure it wasn't from the manufacturing or the handling of the spacecraft," said astrobiologist Jamie Elsila of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, the principal author of the latest research.

Mexico cartels go from drugs to full-scale mafias

Now beating people up , is more lucrative than selling drugs ? If only Mexico's Citizens were allowed to be Armed !

El Paso Times
CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico -- Shopkeepers in this pine-covered mountain region easily recite the list of "protection" fees they pay to La Familia drug cartel to stay in business: 100 pesos a month for a stall in a street market, 30,000 pesos for an auto dealership or construction-supply firm.

First offense for nonpayment: a severe beating. Those who keep ignoring the fees - or try to charge their own - may pay with their lives.

"Every day you can see the people they have beaten up being taken to the IMSS," said auto mechanic Jesus Hernandez, motioning to the government-run hospital a few doors from his repair shop.

Mexican drug cartels have morphed into full-scale mafias, running extortion and protection rackets and trafficking everything from people to pirated DVDs. As once-lucrative cocaine profits have fallen and U.S. and Mexican authorities crack down on all drug trafficking to the U.S., gangs are branching into new ventures - some easier and more profitable than drugs.

Chavez says Obama "lost in space" on Latin America

Oh Hugo , You so funny ! Obama is not just lost in space when it comes to Latin America , He is lost in space when it comes to America Also !
But at least , Unlike you , He is not lost in Uranus !

CARACAS (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama is "lost in the Andromeda" galaxy on Latin American policy, his chief critic in the region, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, said on Sunday, while demanding the closure of U.S. military bases.

Last week Obama said critics of U.S. involvement in Latin America who are now asking Washington to do more to restore the ousted president of Honduras "can't have it both ways."

"We are not asking you to intervene in Honduras, Obama. On the contrary, we are asking that "the empire" get its hands off Honduras and get its claws out of Latin America," Chavez said in a rambling weekly television and radio show.

"President Obama is lost in the Andromeda Nebula, he has lost his bearings, he doesn't get it," he said.

Chavez repeated an accusation that the United States had prior knowledge of the coup that deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya on June 28 and the military plane that flew Zelaya out of the country had used a U.S. base in Honduras.

RIP LES PAUL !

An Incredible loss to the Music World , Les Paul , With his own two hands changed the way the world listened to music , His creations in their look , feel , and sound , are responsible for some of the best music ever recorded !
Play on Mr. Paul !

If Les Paul would have ever cranked it up , And played some hard rock he would have blown everyone Away , But in his smooth style he had He was untouchable !
AP
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Les Paul, who pioneered the solid-body electric guitar later wielded by a legion of rock 'n' roll greats, died Thursday of complications from pneumonia. He was 94. According to Gibson Guitar, Paul died at White Plains Hospital. His family and friends were by his side.

As an inventor, Paul also helped bring about the rise of rock 'n' roll with multitrack recording, which enables artists to record different instruments at different times, sing harmony with themselves, and then carefully balance the tracks in the finished recording.

The use of electric-amplified guitars gained popularity in the mid-to-late 1940s, and then exploded with the advent of rock in the mid-'50s.

"Suddenly, it was recognized that power was a very important part of music," Paul once said. "To have the dynamics, to have the way of expressing yourself beyond the normal limits of an unamplified instrument, was incredible. Today a guy wouldn't think of singing a song on a stage without a microphone and a sound system."

"Without Les Paul, we would not have rock and roll as we know it," said Terry Stewart, president of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "His inventions created the infrastructure for the music and his playing style will ripple through generations. He was truly an architect of rock and roll."

A tinkerer and musician since childhood, he experimented with guitar amplification for years before coming up in 1941 with what he called "The Log," a four-by-four piece of wood strung with steel strings. He felt a solid body would give the instrument a different sound from a traditional hollow guitar with an electrical pickup added to it.

"I went into a nightclub and played it. Of course, everybody had me labeled as a nut." He later put the wooden wings onto the body to give it a tradition guitar shape.

US sees signs of disarray within Pakistani Taliban

Disarray ! What a Nice word to describe the Taliban at this moment !
With three leaders Dead ( ? ) within the past week , nobody wants to take over !
If you speak up for the Position your opposition may shoot you ! If you get the Job , you get a hellfire Missile with your Name on it ! You just don't know when you will receive it !

WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan said on Wednesday there were signs of disarray within the Taliban in Pakistan following the apparent death of the group's leader in a missile strike.

Washington says there is a "90 percent certainty" that the Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud, was killed in a strike by a pilotless CIA drone earlier this month in South Waziristan. Mehsud's aides have disputed the claim and say he is alive.

"The end of Baitullah Mehsud, as we all know, is a very big deal," U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke said, citing reports of "disarray among his people, of other factions maneuvering."

At a panel organized by a Washington think tank, Holbrooke said of the Taliban and its allies in Pakistan: "Everyone is thrashing around ... This is very good news for all of us."

"There's going to be some major readjustment coming up. We don't know what it is," he said of the groups.

At least seven militants were killed in northwest Pakistan on Wednesday in a clash between fighters loyal to Mehsud and his rivals, officials and residents said.

Oh yeah , Ha ha ha ha !!!

Mexico mountain meth lab may be top drug lord's hide-out

Getting Closer ? Who Knows , this place must have been hidden real good , You can smell " Meth " being " Cooked " For miles , it would be a surprise if Nobody knew about before this !

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican troops have found what may be a hide-out of the country's No. 1 drug lord at a giant methamphetamine lab hidden in the northern Sierra among cabins equipped with caviar face cream and escort catalogues.

Mexican media published photos of a complex of 22 secluded mountain cabins, camouflaged to be invisible from the air. One was outfitted with a king-sized bed, luxury clothes, satellite television, pirated movies and high-speed Internet.

The daily Reforma said army officials suspected the well-equipped cabin was used by top fugitive Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, leader of the powerful Sinaloa cartel, or his associate Ismael Zambada, to oversee operations at the largest synthetic drug lab ever found in Mexico.

Guzman, who escaped from a high-security jail in 2001 hidden in a laundry van, has eluded all attempts to catch him since President Felipe Calderon launched an army-led war on drug gangs on taking power in December 2006.

Drug experts say he changes his cell phone every day to avoid being tracked.

YALA, Thailand (Reuters) - Two Muslim village leaders were killed in drive-by shootings in Thailand's restive southernmost provinces, police said Sunday.

The attacks took place at the weekend in Yala and Pattani, two of the three mainly Muslim provinces in predominantly Buddhist Thailand, which have been plagued by five years of separatist violence.

Gunmen on a motorcycle killed an assistant village chief in the Muang district of Yala early Sunday, police said.

Late Saturday, a village headman was shot dead in front of his home in Yaring, Pattani by unknown assailants riding in a pickup truck armed with M-16 assault rifles.

LONDON (Reuters) - Psychopaths who kill and rape have faulty connections between the part of the brain dealing with emotions and that which handles impulses and decision-making, scientists have found.

In a study of psychopaths who had committed murder, manslaughter, multiple rape, strangulation and false imprisonment, the British scientists found that roads linking the two crucial brain areas had "potholes," while those of non-psychopaths were in good shape.

The study opens up the possibility of developing treatments for dangerous psychopaths in the future, said Dr Michael Craig of the Institute of Psychiatry at London's King's College Hospital, and may have profound implications for doctors, researchers and the criminal justice system.

BAGHDAD — A suicide truck bomber flattened a Shiite mosque Friday in northern Iraq, and roadside bombs struck Shiite pilgrims in Baghdad, as at least 51 people were killed and scores wounded nationwide.

It was the second-deadliest day since U.S. forces turned over urban security to the Iraqis more than a month ago, raising fears that Sunni insurgents are intensifying a campaign to re-ignite sectarian violence that pushed the country to the brink of civil war.

The blast in a northern suburb of Mosul reduced the mosque and several nearby houses to rubble, leaving scores of worshippers and neighbors trapped underneath. Rescue crews and ordinary citizens joined forces to pull bodies from the debris and search for survivors.

At least 38 people were killed and some 200 wounded, according to police.

The attack targeted a mosque used by members of the minority Shiite Turkomen community in the tense northern city, which the U.S. military has dubbed the last urban stronghold of al-Qaida in Iraq. Suicide car bombings are the signature style of attack used by the terror network.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan believes Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud, who has a $5 million U.S. bounty on his head, was probably killed with his wife and bodyguards in a missile attack, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Friday.

An intelligence officer in South Waziristan told Reuters that Mehsud's funeral had already taken place, while Pakistani media cited their own security sources saying Mehsud was dead.

"He was killed with his wife and he was buried in Nargosey," the officer said, referring to a tiny settlement about 1 km (half a mile), from the site of the missile attack, believed carried out by a pilotless U.S. drone aircraft.

Malik said: "We suspect he was killed in the missile strike. We have some information, but we don't have material evidence."

Pro-Mousavi Iranians chant "death to the dictator"

Old news , nothing may come of this round of protests , It is amusing that it is still going on !
Just wait till the Next elections !

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Hundreds of supporters of Iranian opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi chanted "death to the dictator" in Tehran on Thursday, a witness said, a day after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was sworn in as president.

The renewed protests come despite a heavy police presence and the mass trial of some 100 leading reformers accused of fomenting the unrest that has continued for eight weeks since disputed June 12 polls returned hard-liner Ahmadinejad to office.

"Hundreds of people are in Vanak square, chanting 'death to the dictator'. Others are also honking car horns," said the witness. "Hundreds of riot police are there as well."

The witness said riot police tried to disperse protesters.

"They are telling protesters to leave the area or face being arrested," the witness said.

Pakistani Taliban chief likely killed: minister

A senior Pakistani security official said that aside from Mehsud's wife, one of Mehsud's brothers and seven of his bodyguards perished in the attack.

The official said intelligence services were trying to discover the identity of another victim, and there was a good chance that it was Mehsud.

Yes I know it is likely some wishful thinking , But man , if true , there would be no better way for Mehsud To go , With A nice American Made Hellfire Missile run through his Dumb Ass !
Either Way dead Taliban and Co . Dead !

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - There is a strong likelihood that Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud was killed along with his wife and bodyguards in a missile attack two days ago, Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik told Reuters.

"We suspect he was killed in the missile strike," Malik said on Friday. "We have some information, but we don't have material evidence to confirm it."

The United States has placed a $5 million reward on the head of Mehsud, an ally of al Qaeda widely regarded in Pakistan as Public Enemy No. 1.

A U.S. defense official, speaking anonymously in Washington, said he had seen no indications that Mehsud had been killed in the strike.

What Can Obama do ? Throw more Money at Mexico so they can line their Pockets with it ? When you Refuse to Acknowledge the Fact that the open border policy of the United States Is the Major part of the Problem , And insist on believing you can just give money to a Corrupt Government to fix The problem !
You show yourself to be Extremely out of touch with the Situation !
Until Politicians within the U.S. wake up , and take a real stance , this problem will get worse ! and The Cartels will Continue to Run, Kill , And rule Mexico !

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (Reuters) - Mexican drug gangs are killing rivals in record numbers in a major setback for the government, which will seek more support from U.S. President Barack Obama when he visits the country this weekend.

Severed heads, burned bodies, daylight shootouts and dead children are daily fare from Mexico's Caribbean to its desert border with the United States, even as army generals pour soldiers and elite police onto city streets.

Last month was the deadliest month of President Felipe Calderon's nearly three-year army assault on powerful cartels across Mexico with 850 deaths, according to media tallies.

The death rate so far this year stands at around 4,000, about a third higher than in the same period in 2008 despite a brief lull earlier in the year.

Mexico has managed to disrupt cocaine supplies and make some major arrests but top barons are still at large and more than 13,000 people have died in drug violence since Calderon took office in December 2006.

"We're in a very decisive, very intense phase. There is no quick solution," said Hector Garcia, the top federal prosecutor in Chihuahua state bordering Texas and home to more than a third of killings in Mexico this year.

Russian subs patrol off U.S. East Coast

"We view this, we are mindful of it, we watch it, but we do not assign motives that we don't believe are there."
It may Not be considered a threat , but you can Guarantee there are U.S Subs not far Behind them !

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines have been patrolling off the eastern seaboard of the United States in the first mission of its kind so close to shore in nearly a decade, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.

The Pentagon said it was not alarmed by the maneuvers, carried out by what officials described as Soviet-designed Akula-class submarines in international waters as little as 200 miles off the coast.

The Russian operation comes at a time when President Barack Obama is pushing to "reset" relations between the two former Cold War rivals.

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said Obama saw that rivalry as "long passed" and that Washington was keeping an eye on the two vessels.

"So we don't look at this action and automatically see threatening motives," Morrell said. "We view this, we are mindful of it, we watch it, but we do not assign motives that we don't believe are there."

He said the Russian vessels were free to operate in international waters. "It doesn't cause any alarm within this building (the Pentagon).... It doesn't pose any threat," Morrell added.

Bill Clinton makes surprise visit to North Korea

Oh, everything will be O.K. now , Bill Clinton is on the case ! He will get the two reporters released , and the Nuclear standoff with the Norks will be Over ! Thanx Bill !
Seriously though , he may get the two reporters released , but the Nuclear talks , I doubt he will help there , he might encourage them to further their program !
And ladies if you are released , if Bill pulls out a cigar , Beware !

SEOUL (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton made a surprise visit to North Korea on Tuesday to try to win the release of two jailed U.S. journalists, a move some analysts said could mark the isolated state's return to dialogue over nuclear weapons.

Clinton's trip follows months of military provocations by the impoverished North which has turned its back on negotiations with regional powers, including the United States and China, to convince it to give up ambitions to build an atomic arsenal.

North Korea's KCNA news agency said the country's chief nuclear negotiator, Kim Kye-gwan, was among those greeting Clinton -- whose administration was reported to have considered bombing the North's Yongbyon atomic plant in the early 1990s.

"As soon as he arrives, he will be entering negotiations with the North for the release of the female journalists," South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted a source as saying.

Posters Spotted Portraying Obama as 'The Joker'

I don't recall ever seeing this when George W . was in office !
I have a great one for someone good with photoshop ! Along the same lines but with the word "Jackass" above it !

fox news


President Obama's been called a lot of things -- but this is probably the first time any campaign has tried to peg him as flat-out creepy.

A slew of posters have been spotted throughout Los Angeles that portray Obama as "The Joker" from "The Dark Knight," with the word "socialism" printed in black above and below his face.

The posters show the president decked out in the kind of unnerving makeup Heath Ledger used in the latest Batman. Obama's face is painted white, his eyes have dark circles around them and two red scars curl up from the corner of his mouth

It's unclear who is producing and distributing the sinister posters. They come as Democrats and Republicans continue to battle over health care reform -- which some critics warn will lead to a government takeover of health care.
Just remember this ! Below.

Venezuela begins shutdown of 34 radio stations

What a great way to Democratize the Country ,take the radio stations away from the People ! You monkeys just sit down and relax , Hugo will take care of everything !
CARACAS, Aug 1 Reuters - More than a dozen of 34 radio stations ordered shut by the Venezuelan government went off the air on Saturday, part of President Hugo Chavez's drive to extend his socialist revolution to the media.

The association of radio broadcasters said 13 stations had stopped transmitting, following an announcement Friday night by government broadcasting watchdog Conatel that 34 radio outlets would be closed because they failed to comply with regulations.

Critics said the crackdown infringed on freedom of speech and that owners were not given the right to a proper defense.

"They're closing the space for dissidents in Venezuela," William Echeverria, head of the National Council of Journalists, told RCTV, a private cable TV station, which did not have its broadcasting license renewed in 2007.

Chavez defended the closures, calling them part of the government's effort to democratize the airwaves.

Student Ordered to Pay $675,000 for Illegal Downloads

At least Tenenbaum faired a little better than Jammie Thomas-Rasset who has to pay 1.92 million for her downloading habits !
Is it the actual downloading they get pissed about or the actual " Re-sharing " of the Files ?Fox News
BOSTON — A federal jury on Friday ordered a Boston University graduate student who admitted illegally downloading and sharing music online to pay $675,000 to four record labels.

Joel Tenenbaum, of Providence, R.I., admitted in court that he downloaded and distributed 30 songs. The only issue for the jury to decide was how much in damages to award the record labels.

Under federal law, the recording companies were entitled to $750 to $30,000 per infringement. But the law allows as much as $150,000 per track if the jury finds the infringements were willful. The maximum jurors could have awarded in Tenenbaum's case was $4.5 million.

Jurors ordered Tenenbaum to pay $22,500 for each incident of copyright infringement, effectively finding that his actions were willful. The attorney for the 25-year-old student had asked the jury earlier Friday to "send a message" to the music industry by awarding only minimal damages.

Tenenbaum said he was thankful that the case wasn't in the millions and contrasted the significance of his fine with the maximum.

"That to me sends a message of 'We considered your side with some legitimacy,"' he said. "$4.5 million would have been, 'We don't buy it at all."'

He added he will file for bankruptcy if the verdict stands.
