Murtha addressed the letter only to Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas), not Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), the panel’s ranking member.

Islamberg not the only radical Muslim compound flourishing in North America

Why aren't people reading about these flourishing compounds in their hometown newspapers? Does it require too much work for the mainstream media, or do politically correct times keep the topic taboo? You'd think that these compounds would be a priority for Homeland Security, but they aren't.

He also said that Murdoch ordered a story about a Chinese diplomat and his visits to a New York strip club to be killed because it might have angered the Communist regime and endangered News Corp's broadcasting privileges in China. It also suggests that Murdoch cancelled the publication of a book, by Harper Collins, a News Corp subsidiary, by former Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten that was critical of the

on Tue 22 May 2007 10:11 AM EDT
Bryson is a believer in climate change, in that he’s as quick as anyone to acknowledge that Earth’s climate has done nothing but change throughout the planet’s existence. In fact, he took that knowledge a big step further, earlier than probably anyone else. Almost 40 years ago, Bryson stood before the American Association for the Advancement of Science and presented a paper saying human activity could alter climate. “I was laughed off the platform for saying that,” he told Wisconsin Energy Cooperative News.

Microsoft Corp.'s plan to buy AQuantive Inc. for $6 billion increases the likelihood that the software maker will also buy Yahoo! Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analyst Anthony Noto said today. Yahoo would plug a ``strategic hole'' at Microsoft that isn't filled by the purchase of AQuantive, announced today, Noto said in a note to clients. AQuantive, which creates Web ads and measures whether they reach the target audience, doesn't give Microsoft the roughly half a million advertisers required to compete against Google Inc., Noto said.

In a tall, blond government, a small black woman like Nyamko Sabuni was always going to stand out. It is, though, the former refugee’s outspoken views that have demanded attention in her adopted Sweden, where she wants a ban on the veil for under-15s and compulsory gynaecological checks for all schoolgirls to protect against genital mutilation masquerading as “female circumcision”.

"It would be to the best interests of the Senate ... that we not try to finish this bill this week," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., as the chamber began debate on the volatile issue. "I think we could, but I'm afraid the conclusion wouldn't be anything that anyone wanted." Best interests of the Senate? What about Best Interests of the Voters? |
