A school may be forced to allow a 12-year-old Muslim to wear a full-face veil because its local council is refusing to fund a court battle against the child's fundamentalist father.

The school told the girl it was not acceptable for her to wear the niqab – which covers all of her face except her eyes – because teachers believe it will make communication and learning difficult.

The mainstream media appears to already have its narrative set for the Democratic primaries, pitching Clinton against Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as establishment vs. the outsider. However, the punditry and the Democrats may just be overlooking the one candidate that the Republicans should fear the most and, perhaps, Clinton should as well.

Jeff Kueter, president of the George C. Marshall Institute (GMI) said "rational and open" discussion of climate change science that includes dissenting voices is in danger of being short-circuited, at the expense of sound science and free speech.

Kueter told Cybercast News Service the assault on groups like the GMI amounted to "censorship." He said the notion of scientific consensus on global warming masked "real disputes that exist in the science over the quality of data."

For the first time since he was elected president of the United States, George W. Bush’s State of the Union address tonight will be simulcast in English, the White House confirmed.

With the public unenthusiastic about the president’s plan to send a “surge” of troops to Baghdad, the decision to simulcast the speech in English was widely seen as an attempt by Mr. Bush to make an appeal to a broader audience.

As an individual who began losing his earnings to Social Security when he was 11 years old in 1940, I know all the arguments for enslaving the young to meet the financial and medical needs of the old. These needs can be met voluntarily and cooperatively, or they can be met at the point of a gun as they are today -- "thanks" to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and the U.S. Congress, which gave us the Social Security Act in 1935 and its later sordid offspring, Medicare and Medicaid.

Denmark  has several organizations working to stop the Islamists.  One of the newest and most active is the SIAD, which roughly translates in English to “Stop the Islamification of Denmark.”  SIAD is made up of ordinary Danes with a peaceful and democratic message to all.  Yet the Danish Minister for Justice, Lene Espersen, is denying them the right to publicly and peacefully go out and demonstrate, for fear that they will “create a public disorder” by being attacked by Islamist and leftwing groups.

Yes, you read that right. SIAD is prohibited from peacefully demonstrating because it will cause a violent reaction from others.

In Hillary’s video announcement, she told us that she is “beginning a conversation with you, with America…so let’s talk, let’s chat, let’s start a dialogue about your ideas and mine.”   With $14 million already in the bank left over from her 2006 Senate campaign and major donors already lined up, the ethically-challenged Clinton will do everything she can to control that conversation on her terms

An American GI assigned to one of the harshest posts in Iraq had a simple request last week for a Wisconsin mattress company: send some floor mats to help ease the hardship of sleeping on the cold, bug-infested ground.

What he got, instead, was a swift kick from the company's Web site, which not only refused the request but added insult to injury with the admonition, "If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq."

Twenty years before he joined Bill Clinton and Yitzhak Rabin in Washington for that famous handshake--and proceeded to become Clinton's most frequent foreign guest at the White House--Yasser Arafat planned and directed the murder of an American ambassador and his deputy chief of mission. From the first moment of the deadly operation, which took place in Khartoum on March 1, 1973, the State Department possessed direct evidence of Arafat's responsibility, yet neither the State Department nor any other government agency made public its knowledge. Indeed, as recently as the summer of 2002, the State Department denied that such evidence existed. Across seven administrations, the State Department hewed to silence and denial.

Taxi drivers in China's financial capital of Shanghai are to be issued with "spit sacks" to curb their habit of rolling down their windows and hawking into the road, state media reported on Tuesday.

Russia has fulfilled a contract to sell air defense missiles to Iran, Russian news agencies quoted the head of the country's state-run weapons exporter as saying Tuesday.

With his presidential hopes tied to an administration whose Iraq policy he supports but cannot control, John McCain for the first time blamed Vice President Cheney for what McCain calls the "witch's brew" of a "terribly mishandled" war in which U.S. forces are on the verge of defeat.

For Germans old enough to remember the glory days of 1968, when communes were all the rage and students took to the streets to protest against all kinds of injustices, the country in 2007 is almost a completely foreign place. The welfare state is being rolled back, German troops are now engaged in military operations abroad, and the current generation of young people seems more interested in attending business school than bringing down the military-industrial complex.
