Iranians told to beat West by making more babies Iranians were today instructed to produce more babies as part of their nation's struggle against the West. The Islamic state's hard-line president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said he wanted the country's 70 million strong population to almost double in an effort to ensure the country's "dominance". Iran, named by President Bush as one of the three "Axis of Evil" powers and subject to intense pressure over its alleged nuclear weapons programme, has previously been held up by the United Nations as an example of how to control a burgeoning population. Yet today Mr Ahmadinejad told a meeting of government ministers and ...

Pig's head left at mosque site VANDALS splashed blood on a wall and left a pig's head at a mosque under construction in the eastern French city of Belfort, a security official said today. France has Europe's largest Muslim community, numbering about five million, and mosques are occasionally vandalised. Today marks the festival of Eid al-Fitr, the end of the holy month of Ramadan, when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk. Eric Krust, deputy chief of public security in the Territoire de Belfort department said the pig's head was left on a windowsill along with splashes of blood on an area five metres long and 2.5 metres high. Islam forbids its followers from eating pork. Swastikas and ...
Tony Snow Hints Secret Prisons Could Return -- But Avoids Being 'Snarky'

NEW YORK In today’s edition of the daily press briefing at the White House, Press Secretary Tony Snow appeared to suggest that the CIA’s “secret prisons” could be back in business – and closed a lengthy discussion of interrogation techniques by threatening to get “snarky” before deciding “that’s not worthy of me.” The White House had acknowledged that the CIA secret prisons were emptied, under orders, when high-profile prisoners were transferred to Guantanomo, and presumably remained closed. But with the new terror interrogation law signed by the president today, Snow was asked if those prisons were still empty. He refused to answer, and ...

LONDON (Reuters) - The government is to consider using prison ships as a way of tackling the growing crisis of overcrowding in jails, according to media reports on Saturday. Home Secretary John Reid has advertised for contractors to provide ships that could house up to 800 prisoners in England and Wales as the prison population neared its capacity of around 80,000 inmates. "What he's (Reid) determined to do is to ensure we've got sufficient prison places, and obviously, he's looking at a number of ways of doing that and a prison ship is one possibility," Home Office minister Vernon Coaker told the BBC. Britain's only prison ship HMP Weare, which could house 400 low-risk ...
Father: I didn't want Madonna adoption

LIPUNGA, Malawi (Reuters) -- The father of the Malawian boy Madonna plans to adopt added a fresh twist to the saga, saying he never intended his son to be adopted by the pop diva, but only for her to raise the child on his behalf. In an interview with Reuters Television in his home village of Lipunga on Saturday, Yohane Banda said Madonna asked that she be able to raise his one-year-old son on his behalf, rather than that the child should become her own. Banda's statement is a major shift from his earlier remarks last week when he railed against human rights groups that have gone to court to stop Madonna from adopting his son David. "Had they told us that Madonna wanted to adopt my ...

WASHINGTON – The worst forms of a drug-resistant killer tuberculosis bug, rapidly spreading throughout the world, have been gaining ground in the United States along with record legal and illegal immigration levels, alarming public-health officials over a disease once thought vanquished. Although the number of confirmed drug-resistant TB cases in the U.S. is relatively small – still measured in the dozens – health officials say visitors from other countries are bringing in the deadliest mutations. The only visitors to the U.S. who are screened for tuberculosis and other medical conditions are immigrants who enter the country legally. There is no easy way to screen millions ...
US 'arrogant and stupid' in Iraq

A senior US state department official has said that the US has shown "arrogance and stupidity" in Iraq. Alberto Fernandez said in an interview with al-Jazeera TV that there was room for "strong criticism" of US policy. But he added that the situation in Iraq was not just a failure of US policy, but a "disaster" for the region. His remarks come on a day when US President George W Bush said US troops were changing tactics to deal with the insurgency. Mr Bush, who made the comments in his weekly radio address, also held talks on the escalating violence in Iraq with senior military commanders. I think there is great room for strong criticism, because without ...

KARACHI - The battle between Islamists and Taliban supporters and the pro-Western Pakistan government has intensified with the arrest of dozens of people in a massive crackdown in and around the federal capital, Islamabad. This follows hard on the heels of the uncovering of a coup plot against President General Pervez Musharraf last week which resulted in over 40 people being arrested. Among these were al-Qaeda-linked personnel from the Air Weapon Complex (AWC) of China Business Big Picture Pakistan, a leading organization in the field of air-delivered weapons and systems.

Hold the Rice I've waited to deal with the following news development because it is so disturbing to me personally, I needed to let my rage subside. I can now speak and write coherently about the latest ghastly statements by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice concerning the Middle East. But it's not easy. Last week, Rice said America could have no greater legacy than to divide the land of Israel and establish a Palestinian Arab terrorist state to end what she called the "humiliation of occupation." She made the statement at a dinner celebrating the third anniversary of the American Task Force on Palestine. "The Palestinian people deserve a better life, a life that is ...
US adopts tough new space policy

The US has adopted a tough new policy aimed at protecting its interests in space and denying "adversaries" access there for hostile purposes. The document - signed by President Bush - also says "freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power". The document rejects any proposals to ban space weapons. But the White House has said the policy does not call for the development or deployment of weapons in space. The United States will preserve its rights, capabilities, and freedom of action in space... and deny, if necessary, adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to US national interests US National Space Policy in ...

WASHINGTON — The military tribunals bill signed by President Bush on Tuesday marks the first time the right of habeas corpus has been curtailed by law for millions of people in the United States. Although debate focused on trials at Guantanamo Bay, the new law also takes away from noncitizens in the U.S. — including more than 12 million permanent residents — the right to go to court if they are declared "unlawful enemy combatants." ADVERTISEMENT No one has suggested that the Bush administration plans to use its newly won power to round up large numbers of immigrants. But before Tuesday, the principle of habeas corpus meant that anyone thrown into jail in the U.S. ...
Bush Signs Detainee Legislation

WASHINGTON -- President Bush signed new legislation Tuesday providing for the detention and prosecution of terrorism suspects, and the Justice Department moved immediately to request the dismissal of dozens of lawsuits filed by detainees challenging their incarceration. Bush signed the legislation in an elaborate East Room ceremony, calling it a "vital tool" in the administration's war on terrorism, while Republican Party officials immediately unleashed campaign broadsides, charging that the measure's Democratic critics advocate freeing terrorists. The new law thus became both part of the administration's final campaign push to preserve its congressional majority in the midterm ...

Iran awarded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez its highest state medal on Sunday for supporting Tehran in its nuclear standoff with the international community, while Chavez urged the world to rise up and defeat the U.S., state-run media in both countries reported. The leftist Venezuelan leader also condemned Israel for what he called the "terrorism" and "madness" of its attacks in Lebanon, Venezuelan state television reported. "Let's save the human race, let's finish off the U.S. empire," Chavez said. "This (task) must be assumed with strength by the majority of the peoples of the world."

America’s Enemies Counting on Voters to Elect “Kinder, gentler” Liberals Both North Korea’s Kim Jong Il and Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have figured out that U.S. voters are on the brink of committing mass suicide next month. They are betting that Americans will be foolish enough to elect Nancy Pelosi and other leftists who will promote a “kinder, gentler” strategy for fighting the war on terror, and who will surrender any and all semblance of national pride and American hegemony. Just the possibility of a Democratic majority in either or both chambers of Congress have made it next to impossible for the Bush administration to make any progress in ...
Reconsidering MAD nuclear defense policy

The Cold War nuclear deterrence strategy known as MAD (mutually assured destruction) is now clearly obsolete. We are likely, one day, to see the use of a nuclear weapon that does not have a return address. For this new situation, we need a new deterrence strategy. I propose one to be known as MAD-AS-HELL. Under MAD-AS-HELL, the U.S. should promise the world that it will respond to a nuclear weapon detonated by an unknown agent or government and directed at the U.S. or its allies, with a devastating rain of nuclear fire on EVERY country believed EVEN POSSIBLY the attacker OR possibly the ultimate source of the weapons. Right now, that would clearly mean that if a nuke popped off in a U.S. ...

Buenos Aires, Oct 13 (Prensa Latina) An Argentine official regarded the intention of the George W. Bush family to settle on the Acuifero Guarani (Paraguay) as surprising, besides being a bad signal for the governments of the region. Luis D Elia, undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo partially reproduced by digital http://INFOBAE.com, in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842-acre farm in northern Paraguay, between Brazil and Bolivia. The news circulated Thursday in non-official sources in Asuncion, Paraguay. D Elia considered this Bush step counterproductive for the regional power expressed by Presidents Nestor ...

The father of the little boy adopted by Madonna in Malawi has described his feelings of confusion and powerlessness in the face of the singer's determination to take his only surviving child away. Peasant farmer Yohane Banda, who can barely read or write, admitted he didn't fully understand what was happening when he went to court on Thursday in his best clothes to see for the first and only time the woman who was offering his 13-month-old son David a new life in the West. All he knew, as he sat in his dirt-stained cotton trousers, a check shirt and his treasured black denim jacket at the High Court in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi, was that the slight, blonde woman standing before him ...

Saddam says victory at hand against U.S. occupation By Suleiman al Khalidi AMMAN (Reuters) - In an open letter, Saddam Hussein told Iraqis "victory was at hand" and urged insurgents to show magnanimity to opponents, saying he himself forgave Iraqis who aided the killers of his two sons. In the letter dictated to his chief lawyer Khalil Dulaimi during a four-hour meeting on Saturday in his prison, the former Iraqi leader also said Iraqis should put aside differences and set only one goal - to drive U.S. troops out of Iraq. "Victory is at hand but don't forget that your near-term goal is confined to liberating your country from the forces of occupation," Saddam said ...

JERUSALEM, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Israel said on Sunday its police force had acquired evidence suggesting President Moshe Katsav had raped and molested women who worked for him. Katsav, whose position is largely ceremonial, has denied any wrongdoing and said he was the victim of a "public lynching without trial or investigation". In a joint statement capping weeks of investigations, Israel's Justice Ministry and national police said: "There is prima facie evidence of a number of incidents in which several women who worked under his authority were involved, that the president carried out sex crimes of rape, sexual molestation by force and without consent." Katsav was also ...

655,000 Iraqis Died Due to War

A controversial new study contends nearly 655,000 Iraqis have died because of the war, suggesting a far higher death toll than other estimates. The timing of the survey's release, just a few weeks before the U.S. congressional elections, led one expert to call it "politics." In the new study, researchers attempt to calculate how many more Iraqis have died since March 2003 than one would expect without the war. Their conclusion, based on interviews of households and not a body count, is that about 600,000 died from violence, mostly gunfire. They also found a small increase in deaths from other causes like heart disease and cancer. "Deaths are occurring in Iraq now at a rate ...
