| US to expand Pakistan drone strikes Posted: 06 May 2010 06:07 AM PDT  The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been granted approval by the US government to expand drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal regions in a move to step up military operations against Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters, officials have said. Federal lawyers backed the measures on grounds of self-defence to counter threats the fighters pose to US troops in neighbouring Afghanistan and the United States as a whole, according to authorities.  |
| Suu Kyi's party 'to be dissolved' Posted: 06 May 2010 05:58 AM PDT  Myanmar's main opposition party, the National League for Democracy (NLD) led by Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, is expected to be disbanded on Thursday after it refused to re-register under controversial new election laws. NLD officials said the party would be forced to dissolve after it failed in a final legal bid on Wednesday to have the laws annulled.  |
| Posted: 06 May 2010 05:22 AM PDT  Japan has restarted its controversial "fast-breeder" nuclear reactor, 14 years after the plant was shut down following a fire.

| On Goldstone's Bar Mitzvah and Finkelstein's Book Posted: 05 May 2010 11:07 PM PDT  In his report on Gaza issued late last year, prominent South African jurist Richard Goldstone accused Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes. His language also showed awareness of the fact that the former is an occupying power with most sophisticated weapon arsenal (as reflecting in the number of Palestinian victims), and the latter is a besieged, occupied faction in a state of self-defense. Although Goldstone must have been aware of the kind of hysteria such a report would generate, he still did not allow ideological or ethnic affiliation to stand between him and his moral convictions.  |
| Posted: 05 May 2010 11:00 PM PDT  After a week away, here's my advice: in news terms, you can afford to take a vacation. When I came back last Sunday, New Orleans was bracing for tough times (again). BP, a drill-baby-drill oil company that made $6.1 billion in the first quarter of this year and lobbied against "new, stricter safety rules" for offshore drilling, had experienced an offshore disaster for which ordinary Americans are going to pay through the nose (again). News photographers were gearing up for the usual shots of oil-covered wildlife (again). A White House — admittedly Democratic, not Republican — had deferred to an energy company's needs, accepted its PR and lies, and then moved too slowly when disaster struck (again).

| In Britain, the Only Vote is for War Posted: 05 May 2010 11:00 PM PDT Staring at the vast military history section in the airport shop, I had a choice: the derring-do of psychopaths or scholarly tomes with their illicit devotion to the cult of organized killing. There was nothing I recognized from reporting war. Nothing on the spectacle of children's limbs hanging in trees and nothing on the burden of shit in your trousers. War is a good read. War is fun. More war please.  |
| Posted: 05 May 2010 11:00 PM PDT Readers of my articles will know that I am extremely pessimistic about the prospects for peace in the Middle East. I do not believe for a second that the leaders of Israel actually consider Iran to be an "existential" threat but the fact that they have cried wolf so often has convinced the Israeli public that it is so. Worse still, Israel's friends in the US have convinced the American public of the same thing even though Iran does not threaten the United States at all. Relying on a complaisant media that has fully embraced the fabricated narrative of fanatical Mullahs brandishing nuclear weapons shortly before handing them over to al-Qaeda, a majority of Americans now believes that Iran must be dealt with by force and that it already has a nuclear weapon. As in the case in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq, the fictitious threat has taken on an ominous reality because the lie has been repeated often enough to appear to be truth.  |
| Loose Lips on Iran Can Sink America Posted: 05 May 2010 11:00 PM PDT The omnipresent World War II-era poster with the words "Loose Lips Sink Ships" served as a warning to members of the U.S. military to take heed lest they divulge information that could tip off the enemy and result in defeat in battle. I believe we need a new poster, because loose lips can also sink whole countries — including our own.  |
| Hope Amidst Grim Prospects for Mideast Peace Posted: 05 May 2010 11:00 PM PDT Proximity peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians, due to begin shortly after months of delay due to Israel's continued settlement building on occupied Palestinian land, appear to have little chance of making a breakthrough. However, there appear to have been some positive developments which have altered the equation somewhat and which could provide a stepping stone for future successful talks.  |
| Wiesenthal's PR Exercise to Counter 'Anti-Israel Lies' Posted: 05 May 2010 10:56 PM PDT  As Israel reels from successive blows to its image as a 'civilized democracy' its supporters have in another desperate attempt to salvage this bruised profile come up with a rescue plan. This time the Simon Wiesenthal Center has produced a brochure titled "2010 Top Ten Anti-Israel Lies" that they plan to distribute to millions of people worldwide.  |

In a statement in New York on Wednesday, China, France, Russia, the US and UK reaffirmed their backing for a 1995 resolution on the issue.  |

| Jenny Tonge: A 'Woman of Substance' Posted: 05 May 2010 09:06 PM PDT  Democrat M.P., Jenny Tonge (The Rt. Hon., The Baroness Tonge of Kew) has one. Liberal Democrat Leader, Nick Clegg, does not. Jenny Tonge is a doctor by training, married to a consultant neuroradiologist. Her positions have included Senior Medical Officer for Women's Services in the large, multi-racial, London Borough of Ealing. In politics, she has been the Party's spokeswoman for children and for health.  |
| Posted: 05 May 2010 09:00 PM PDT  Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Let me take you away from politics for a bit, and bring you down here to Myrtle Beach, a down market Miami Beach but with much nicer and friendlier locals. There is even a Hemingway street—Papa came fishing around here—which would never happen in Miami. Only porn stars and drug dealers have streets named after them in that sweaty Sodom and Gomorrah, although the city did once allow Xaviera Hollander, author of The Happy Hooker, to ride on a float on the fourth of July. First things first, however.  |
| Posted: 05 May 2010 09:00 PM PDT  My tailor is just one shade lighter than Obama. He is from the Dominican Republic, and speaks Spanish most of the time when he's not speaking to me. He's a hard-working, legal immigrant who loves baseball, fishing, and photography. He's up on current events, because he has the TV on all day at work. So we exchange information about photography and current events. He was dead set against Obama from the start. I knew Obama had a real shot. Therefore, I was hoping (like most every sane individual) that Obama might be just fine, a breath of fresh air, a nice transition from the excruciating, malfeasant co-presidency of G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney. I had an open mind on the subject. My tailor did not. He felt that Obama would be a disaster, and told me so in no uncertain terms. Now he likes to greet me when I walk into his shop, "Hey Obama!" My retort: "My name ain't Obama!" His response, "I told you so!" My follow-up, "Yes, you did!"

"Police said two women and one man, between 30 and 40 years old, working for a Marfin bank branch choked on smoke after protesters broke the windows of a commercial building on central Stadiou Avenue and tossed in Molotov cocktails."  |
