Three British men guilty of airline bomb plot

A little justice , What are the Odds these guys get a light sentence ?
It is just a shame they could not come up with convictions for the others involved !
Now they can run the streets of England , free to plot another attack !


LONDON (Reuters) - Three Britons were found guilty on Monday of plotting to kill thousands by blowing up transatlantic airliners bound for North America in mid-flight suicide attacks using bombs made from liquid explosives.

The suspected al Qaeda plot, just days from being put into operation according to British detectives, had huge worldwide ramifications leading to tight restrictions on the amount of liquids passengers could take on board aircraft.

Four other men were found not guilty of the plot and the jury failed to reach a verdict in the case of an eighth suspect, Britain's Press Association reported.

The bombers intended to simultaneously destroy at least seven planes carrying over 200 passengers each between London's Heathrow airport and the United States and Canada in August 2006 using explosives hidden in soft drink bottles, prosecutors said.

The conspirators were caught before they could put their plan into action following the largest counter-terrorism operation ever carried out by British police.

Alleged cartel big shot arrested

Much like Al Qaida , When one of the leaders of the cartel are arrested , there is someone right there to replace him , This arrest will do nothing to slow the Cartels down.

El Paso Times
EL PASO -- The Mexican army says it has captured a high-ranking member of the Juárez drug cartel.

Jose Rodolfo "Rikin" Escajeda was also wanted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Soldiers found him Friday in Nuevo Casas Grandes, a community south of Juárez. Law officers allege that Escajeda is responsible for smuggling drugs into the United States for the past 10 years.

He was alleged to be part of the Carrillo Fuentes drug organization, and controlled the Valle de Juárez region across the border from Fabens, Tornillo and Fort Hancock.

Mexican authorities and the DEA attributed many murders, arsons and several recent beheadings to his gang.

Authorities arrested several of his associates last year, including a couple of his relatives. Other members of his organization may live in El Paso County.

Iran rules out talks on its nuclear "rights"

Well that at least lets the World Know where Iran Stands !
No talks , No problem , Talks never work Anyhow , Iran and North korea are perfect examples of that , Hell even the Israeli - Palestinian issue has been talked over to death (Literally )
So quit talking it is an enormous waste of Time , When Iran tries to test their weapons they create , we should help blow them up !
with some guided Missiles !


TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's president snubbed on Monday U.S. President Barack Obama's end-September deadline to talk to world powers on its disputed nuclear program, saying in his opinion discussion on the issue is "finished."

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the Islamic Republic was ready for dialogue on "challenges" facing the world but made clear Tehran would not back down in a dispute over atomic activities which the West fears are aimed at making bombs.

"From our view point (discussion of) our nuclear issue is finished ... we will never negotiate on the Iranian nation's obvious rights," he told his first news conference since he was sworn into office following a disputed re-election in June.

In Vienna, U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei said his agency was stuck in "stalemate" with Iran over issues that had stirred international mistrust in its nuclear designs.

Elbaradei's renewed highlighting of the deadlock may be timely for Western powers striving to persuade Russia and China of the need for much harsher sanctions against Iran that could target its gasoline imports.

Obama 'green jobs' adviser quits amid controversy

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

A Wise man once told me to never trust a Politician , Van Jones while not actually being a politician ,He Sure acts like one !
Deceit is the political way anymore , you come up in your career saying whatever you want , having an agenda ( Usually one out of touch with the mainstream )Joining orgs, starting orgs , and so on ! Van Jones did all this .
Being a Communist Revolutionary , and a Black nationalist , who thinks Republicans are assholes (See video Below) , and making comments about white people being responsible for all the ills of the U.S , and then denying it all, Makes him The worst kind of racist around ! nevermind the fact that he thinks 9/11 was pulled off (or let happen ) By the Government !
And Obama thinks he is a good Guy ? WTF


Washington post
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's environmental adviser Van Jones, who became embroiled in a controversy over past inflammatory statements, has resigned his White House job after what he calls a "vicious smear campaign against me."

The resignation, announced early Sunday, came as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.

Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.

Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration."

The matter surfaced after news reports of a derogatory comment Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Jones's name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officials had allowed the attacks to occur.

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

Jones said he has been "inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight."

But he said he cannot in good conscience ask his colleagues to spend time and energy defending or explaining his past.

Because , they would easily dig up everything that you have said , most of which is on Video ! You have no defense ! You drove your own Knife in your back jackass !(this has been updated several times , the original article now reads different !)

Urumqi party chief sacked

Sacking the Communist party chief for Xinjaing would show weakness , That is why They sacked Li Zhi ! He will take a lot of the blame !
(Maybe those who are responsible for sacking this guy will also be sacked ?)

The Straits times
BEIJING - THE ethnic unrest in the Xinjiang region has claimed its first senior official, but it was not the one that protesters wanted replaced.

Urumqi party chief Li Zhi, 59, was removed from his post, according to the official Xinhua news agency on Saturday. Demonstrators had been demanding the removal of the region's Communist Party chief Wang Lequan instead.

The announcement came during an uneasy calm in the regional capital after three days of protests sparked by a series of bizarre syringe attacks that state media said largely targeted Han Chinese residents.

Chinese media said on Saturday that out of the 25 suspects arrested for the offence, four Uighurs had been indicted for perpetrating such attacks.

A two-line dispatch from China's Xinhua news agency gave no official explanation for the removal of Mr Li, who has spent all of his three decades in politics in various positions in Xinjiang.

'Very few people had asked for Li Zhi to step down,' a Urumqi government official, who asked not to be named, told The Sunday Times. 'Most of the protesters were calling for Wang Lequan's head. Li Zhi is a scapegoat.'

Pakistani troops kill 43 militants in Khyber strikes

As if there needed to be another reason to have a few drinks this weekend !
But we will take em ! Dead Taliban Is Good Taliban !


JAMRUD, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani troops backed by helicopter gunships killed about 43 militants Saturday in attacks on hideouts in the northwestern Khyber Pass region, a spokesman for the paramilitary Frontier Corps said.

The Khyber Pass is a main route for supplies trucked from the Pakistani port of Karachi to Western forces battling al Qaeda and Taliban militants in Afghanistan.

The airstrikes took place as troops mopped up militant positions in the northwestern Swat valley, where the military says over 2,000 fighters have been killed since an offensive was launched in April.

Troops began a new operation in the Khyber this week against militants who included those who had fled the Swat offensive.

"Our forces targeted a headquarters of Lashkar-e-Islam and about 15 militants were killed in the attack," said a Frontier Corps spokesman in Peshawar, referring to a group under the command of Mangal Bagh, an ethnic Pashtun Islamist militant.

A further 28 were killed elsewhere in clashes with insurgents and airstrikes on suspected militant hideouts.

Pennsylvania Man Accidentally Fires Cannonball Into Neighbor's House

Whoops , Sorry ! It seems My cannonball bounced off of something and blasted your House ! It won't happen again !
( Where can I get a cannon that shoots 2 Inch Cannonballs ? )

Fox News
UNIONTOWN, Pa. — A Pennsylvania history buff who recreates firearms from old wars accidentally fired a 2-pound cannonball through the wall of his neighbor's home.

Fifty-four-year-old William Maser fired a cannonball Wednesday evening outside his home in Georges Township that ricocheted and hit a house 400 yards away.

The cannonball, about two inches in diameter, smashed through a window and a wall before landing in a closet. Authorities say nobody was hurt.

State police charged Maser with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.

No one answered the phone Friday at Maser's home. He tells WPXI-TV recreating 19th century cannons is a longtime hobby. He says he is sorry and he will stop shooting them on his property, about 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Notice on Obama Advocacy Site Pulls Sept. 11 Attacks Into Health Care Debate

And the nitwits on the left wonder why everyone gets pissed at them and thinks that they are slightly above a three toed Sloth in the food Chain ?
If because I don't want to have the Government take control of my well being , you think I am subverting the American democratic process ! You can Kiss my Domestic Terrorist ASS !
We are not the ones trying to Brainwash all the Slackers in the U.S , into believing it is A Moral duty to force health care upon the masses , Which will be paid for by those of us that still have a F**king Job ! It would be you rejects that think it is O.K. to spend my tax dollars on someone who just doesn't want to do things for themselves !
Screw you Obamamaggot !

Fox News
The controversy stems from a notice on the Organizing for America Web site urging reform advocates to use the anniversary of the terror attacks to call on lawmakers to pass health care reform.

"All 50 states are coordinating in this -- as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic process, whipped to a frenzy by their Fox Propaganda Network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders," the notice said in part. It has since been scrubbed from the Organizing for America site.

Following criticism from the conservative Heritage Foundation, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee told FOX News in a statement that anyone can post on the site and condemned the language.

"We certainly don't agree with these comments, nor do we condone them, just as I'm sure the Heritage Foundation or FOX don't agree or condone some of the things posted in sections of their Web site," the statement said.
But the Heritage Foundation's Rory Cooper said the call to action was actively distributed.

In other words , They ran with it till they were found out ! ( Sleazy Bitches )

China detains 15 for syringe attacks in Xinjiang

It is unclear if there is an ethnic dimension to the syringe attacks

Unclear ?
Just take a look at what has been going on in Xianjiang and it is pretty clear !
Minority Muslims , Fighting Majority Han ! Pretty simple !


BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese police in the far western region of Xinjiang have detained 15 people for stabbing attacks using syringes that have increased tension between ethnic groups in the region, media and visitors to the area said on Thursday.

State media did not say how many people had been stabbed. A doctor in the regional capital, Urumqi, said the number may be as high as 1,000, but he could not confirm that.

Nobody had been infected with anything or poisoned by the stabbings in Urumqi, the China Daily said on its website, citing the Xinhua news agency.

"According to eyewitness reports, on September 2 several hundred Urumqi citizens took to the streets to rebuke the despicable conduct of the violent perpetrators and call on the government to severely punish offenders," the pro-Beijing Hong Kong newspaper Wen Wei Po said in a report.

In Xinjiang's worst ethnic violence in decades, Uighurs, Turkic-speaking Muslim people native to the region, attacked majority Han Chinese in Urumqi on July 5, after taking to the streets to protest against attacks on Uighur workers at a factory in south China in June in which two Uighurs were killed.

Han Chinese in Urumqi sought revenge two days later.

It is unclear if there is an ethnic dimension to the syringe attacks.

Canadian Human Rights Tribunal: Hate speech laws unconstitutional

F**k You! I can say what I want to say.



Good news for Canadians like Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant. Calgary Herald via Jihad Watch
The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has ruled that Section 13, Canada's much-criticized human rights hate speech law, is an unconstitutional violation of the Charter right to free expression because of its penalty provisions.

The decision released Wednesday morning by tribunal chair Athanasios Hadjis appears to strip the Canadian Human Rights Commission of its controversial legal mandate to pursue hate on the Internet, which it has strenuously defended against complaints of censorship.

It also marks the first major failure of Section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act, an anti-hate law that was conceived in the 1960s to target racist telephone hotlines, then expanded in 2001 to the include the entire Internet, and for the last decade used almost exclusively by one complainant, activist Ottawa lawyer Richard Warman....

Human Rights Watch: Saudi Arabia must offer equality to Shias

How about offering equal rights to Christians, Jews, Hindus and anyone else who isn't muslim? BBC

A report by the Human Rights Watch pressure group has detailed what it says is systematic discrimination in Saudi Arabia against Shia Muslims.

Unfavourable treatment of minority Shia extends from education and employment to the justice system, leading to a big increase in sectarian tension, it says.

They comprise 10 to 15% of the Saudi population, and have long complained of being treated as second-class citizens.

Human Rights Watch wants a government commission to tackle the problem.

Suspected terrorist allowed to name his kid jihad in Germany

A German of Egyptian descent, suspected of involvement in the 2002 Bali bombings, has won the right to name his child "Djehad". The name is a variant of jihad or holy war. Telegraph

Germans are also incensed that the taxpayer must foot the bill for tens of thousands of euros for Egyptian-born Reda Seyam's court costs in winning the right to the name.

A court in Berlin said that he could name the child Djehad because it was an "accepted Arabic first name term". [...]

Seyam, 49, spent three years and thousands of pounds of taxpayers' cash to overturn a decision by Berlin municipal authorities forbidding him from naming his boy Djehad.

A fanatic who rails against the West, human rights laws, votes for women and democracy, Seyam has been under observation by German intelligence services for years.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany's domestic intelligence agency, has for long regarded him as being a "string-puller" behind the Bali bombings of 2002 which killed 200 mostly young holidaymakers.
Why hasn't Germany deported his ass?

BEIJING — China will unveil a range of previously unknown missiles during its October 1 National Day parade, including intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles, state media said Wednesday.

"These missiles are domestically designed and manufactured and have never been officially reported before," the source, who is with the PLA's strategic missile defence unit, was quoted as saying.

China denies two US reporters were seized in China

From Reuters

BEIJING (Reuters) - China rejected on Thursday claims by two U.S. journalists that they were seized on Chinese territory before being dragged into North Korea and jailed there for illegal entry into the reclusive state.

The journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee said in an article in the Los Angeles Times (http:/link.reuters.com/cug44d) that they strayed into North Korean territory in March when visiting a frozen river that marked the border with China.

They said they rushed back to the Chinese side but North Korean guards chased them and dragged them into North Korea.

But the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu rejected their account.

"According to the understanding of the relevant (Chinese) departments, they did not find the situation as you described it," she told reporters in answer to a question about the two U.S. journalists' account.
I trust the journalists more then the Chinese, and that says a lot.

World Church body to Pakistan: Drop death penalty for blasphemy

The World Council of Churches has called Pakistan to drop it's mandatory death sentence for blasphemy. There should be no punishment for blasphemy. USA Today

GENEVA — The World Council of Churches is calling on Pakistan to repeal the mandatory death penalty for blasphemy in the country's penal code.

The WCC's governing body, which met in Geneva Aug. 26-Sept. 2, issued a statement Tuesday (Sept. 1) urging Pakistan to "guarantee the rights of all religious minorities in the country."

The church council said the law has become "a major source of victimization and persecution" of religious minorities who are living "in a state of fear and terror."

Since the penal code of Pakistan was amended in 1986, "Christians in particular have become targets of harassments and persecutions," according to the WCC, which also noted that human rights organizations say blasphemy accusations are often used to have people imprisoned over business or land disputes.

Dawn,com
LANDI KOTAL: At least 16 suspected militants were killed and 35 others arrested on the second day of a military operation in Bara tehsil of Khyber Agency on Wednesday.

Commander of the operation Brigadier Fayyaz told journalists in Jamrud that security forces had faced stiff resistance in Akkakhel and Kohi localities, but cleared the areas after a clash which left several militants dead.

Journalists were shown hundreds of AK-47, 12-bore, .303 and 7mm rifles, machineguns, airguns, pistols, rocket-propelled grenades and thousands of rounds seized from militants’ bases and an arms market in Bara.

The arrested men, including pro-administration tribal elder Malik Duran Gul Malikdin Khel, were also brought before the journalists.

Khyber Agency’s Political Agent Tariq Hayat said Malik Duran had been arrested for violating curfew and he was later released.

Mr Hayat said that Bara-based militant organisations were getting financial support from abroad and had links with the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan.

He said security forces had seized a large quantity of drugs from militants’ bases.

He said two explosive-laden vehicles had been found at the house of Lashkar-i-Islam leader Sabeel, adding that these were intended to be used in suicide attacks in Peshawar.

The houses of militant leaders Sabeel, Hastam, Murad, Habib, Kashkol, Tayyab and Saifoor were demolished and the two vehicles were blown up.

NASA tracks space junk headed toward space station

More space junk dangers again .
one day their will be a need to " clean up " space around the earth !


HOUSTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The International Space Station might have to fire its thrusters to avoid a piece of space junk that could pass within two miles (3.2 km) of the orbiting complex and its 13 astronauts, NASA said on Wednesday.

The U.S. space agency is tracking debris from a portion of a European rocket, the Ariane 5, that was launched more than three years ago. The debris could pass close enough to require astronauts to fire thrusters to move the station and shuttle Discovery that is docked there out of the way, NASA officials said at a briefing.

The debris posed no immediate danger to the station or the shuttle, the agency said.

The debris, which is in an oval-shaped orbit that makes it difficult to track, will make its closest approach to the station at 11:06 a.m. EDT (3:06 p.m. GMT) on Friday, NASA said.

Hitmen kill 17 in Mexico clinic on U.S. border


Drug gangs have targeted rehab clinics in the manufacturing city of Ciudad Juarez across from El Paso, Texas, accusing them of protecting dealers from rival gangs.

Or they thought they might Snitch !


CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (Reuters) - About a dozen hooded gunmen burst into a Mexican rehabilitation clinic near the U.S. border on Wednesday, lining up patients before killing 17 of them.

Drug gangs have targeted rehab clinics in the manufacturing city of Ciudad Juarez across from El Paso, Texas, accusing them of protecting dealers from rival gangs.

The attack was one of the deadliest in President Felipe Calderon's three-year war against drug cartels, despite the presence of 10,000 troops and federal police in Ciudad Juarez who constantly patrol the city's streets.

The suspected hitmen stormed their way into the drug and alcohol rehab clinic in Ciudad Juarez and forced patients into a line in a corridor before shooting them, the army and the El Diario newspaper said.

"Armed men shot at about 20 people, killing 17 of them and injuring three," said army spokesman Enrique Torres.

In a separate attack on Wednesday, gunmen killed the deputy police chief in Calderon's home state of Michoacan in western Mexico.

Jose Manuel Revueltas, appointed just two weeks ago, was intercepted by heavily armed men in two vehicles as he drove down a busy avenue in the state capital, Morelia, a few blocks from police headquarters, police said.

Single Molecule,One Million times smaller than a grain of sand , Imaged

The awesome things you get from science !
The first picture is the Actual Image , the Second is a computer image ( Model ) of how everyone has always seen a Molecule

mail online



It may look like a piece of honeycomb, but this lattice-shaped image is the first ever close-up view of a single molecule.

Scientists from IBM used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to reveal the chemical bonds within a molecule.

'This is the first time that all the atoms in a molecule have been imaged,' lead researcher Leo Gross said.

The researchers focused on a single molecule of pentacene, which is commonly used in solar cells. The rectangular-shaped organic molecule is made up of 22 carbon atoms and 14 hydrogen atoms.

In the image above the hexagonal shapes of the five carbon rings are clear and even the positions of the hydrogen atoms around the carbon rings can be seen.

To give some perspective, the space between the carbon rings is only 0.14 nanometers across, which is roughly one million times smaller than the diameter of a grain of sand.

Afghan spy boss killed in Taliban suicide attack

More Muslims Killing Muslims ! With Afghanistan and Pakistan both sticking it to the Taliban ( most of the time ) we will not have to fight them much longer !
as the death toll rises on both sides , there is less of the enemy to eradicate !

AP
KABUL — A Taliban suicide bomber attacked officials leaving a mosque east of the capital Wednesday, killing the country's deputy intelligence chief and 23 other people in a major blow to Afghanistan's security forces.

The brazen assault occurred as tensions are running high after last month's divisive presidential election and a sharp rise in U.S. casualties — events that have already raised alarm in Washington over the future of President Barack Obama's strategy to turn the tide of the war.

A Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, claimed responsibility for the bombing, which happened as Afghan dignitaries were leaving the main mosque in Mehterlam, 60 miles (100 kilometers) east of Kabul, after ceremonies marking the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

The bomber approached the crowd on foot and detonated an explosive belt, killing 23 people, including Abdullah Laghmani, deputy chief of Afghanistan's National Directorate for Security and the target of the attack, according to provincial spokesman Sayed Ahmad Safi.

The chairman of the local provincial council and the executive director of the local governor's office also died in the blast, Safi said.

Laghmani, a close ally of President Hamid Karzai, was a major figure in Afghanistan's security and intelligence apparatus and his death was a setback to Afghan efforts to curb Taliban and other extremist activity

Japan's new first lady says rode UFO to Venus

Awesome ! it's nice to know that the pictures we have all seen of Venus , are fake !
Venus is actually a beautiful place ! Al gore would like it because it is very Green !
Some people are just really lucky , My soul is on the perpetual trip just called , Reality ! ( I think ?)


TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's next prime minister might be nicknamed "the alien," but it's his wife who claims to have had a close encounter with another world.

"While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus," Miyuki Hatoyama, the wife of premier-in-waiting Yukio Hatoyama, wrote in a book published last year.

"It was a very beautiful place and it was really green."

Yukio Hatoyama is due to be voted in as premier on September 16 following his party's crushing election victory over the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Sunday.

Miyuki, 66, described the extraterrestrial experience, which she said took place some 20 years ago, in a book entitled "Very Strange Things I've Encountered."

When she awoke, Japan's next first lady wrote, she told her now ex-husband that she had just been to Venus. He advised her that it was probably just a dream.

"My current husband has a different way of thinking," she wrote. "He would surely say 'Oh, that's great'."

Yukio Hatoyama, 62, the rich grandson of a former prime minister, was once nicknamed "the alien" for his prominent eyes.

Egypt Muslim Council: Building of Churches is 'Sin' Against God

Islamophobes! Christian Post

Egyptian Muslim leaders are caught in a storm of controversy after a human rights group confronted them about a fatwa (Islamic edict) that stated the building of a church is “a sin against God.”.[...]

The controversy began when the president of the Egyptian Union Human Rights Organization, Dr. Naguib Gabraeel, asked the Fatwa Council about a statement found in a textbook at Cairo University on inheritance and execution of wills.

Students, both Muslims and Christians, were taught “it is forbidden for a person to donate money for what would lead to sin, such as donating in his will money towards build[ing] a church, a nightclub, a gambling casino, towards promoting the alcohol industry or for building a barn for rearing pigs, cats or dogs.”

Gabraeel asked the council what the sharia (Islamic law) position on the statement found in the textbook is. He asked if it is forbidden for a Muslim to donate money to build a church or a monk’s quarters even if it is in the name of God and Christianity, which is recognized by the country’s constitution. The Egyptian constitution claims to respect religious freedom. He also noted that wealthy Coptic Christian businessmen have donated towards the building of mosques.

The council replied by affirming the law found in the textbook and issuing a fatwa on it.

"Our main goal is to become the number one website in every Muslim home," Reza Sardeha, Founder of ImHalal.com, told The Media Line.[...]

"I came up with the idea of launching a search engine specifically designed for Muslims where you can search websites without inadvertently coming across content that would be haram," he said

"First of all, we have blocked all sexually explicit content. We are also in talks with Imams [Muslim scholars] to determine what might be considered haram and therefore be blocked."
Hmmmm....for some reason I don't think traffic will fall to my hijab sex page because of this.

Ahmadinejad's imam says islam allows raping, torturing prisoners

What an islamophobe! Israel Nntional News

(IsraelNN.com) A highly influential Shi'a religious leader, with whom Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regularly consults, apparently told followers last month that coercion by means of rape, torture and drugs is acceptable against all opponents of the Islamic regime.[...]

According to the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC), an independent Israeli intelligence analysis organization, Mesbah-Yazdi is considered Ahmadinejad's personal spiritual guide. A radical totalitarian even in Iranian terms, he holds messianic views, supports increasing Islamization, calls for violent suppression of domestic political opponents, and, according to the ITIC, "declared that obeying a president supported by the Supreme Leader was tantamount to obeying God."[...]

"Can an interrogator rape the prisoner in order to obtain a confession?" was the follow-up question posed to the Islamic cleric.

Mesbah-Yazdi answered: "The necessary precaution is for the interrogator to perform a ritual washing first and say prayers while raping the prisoner. If the prisoner is female, it is permissible to rape through the vagina or anus. It is better not to have a witness present. If it is a male prisoner, then it's acceptable for someone else to watch while the rape is committed."

This reply, and reports of the rape of teen male prisoners in Iranian jails, may have prompted the following question: "Is the rape of men and young boys considered sodomy?"
One aspect of these permitted rapes troubled certain questioners.

Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi: "No, because it is not consensual. Of course, if the prisoner is aroused and enjoys the rape, then caution must be taken not to repeat the rape."
WTF?

TTP leader ‘Hakimullah Mehsud dead’

He is dead , then He's not , maybe just wounded , NO he is o.k , and in charge !
So like the saying goes "War is deceit" , Hakimullah , was most likely killed ( If he really is dead ) in the gun fight that ensued after Baitullah was killed !
Awesome news if true !
And now Pakistan is going forward with their plans to clear south waziristan ? Did they not just say they were backing off a little bit ?

Dawn.com
ISLAMABAD: The security forces believe the new Taliban Commander Hakimullah Mehsud is already dead and Taliban in order to save their image are giving the impression that he is alive.

A private TV channel, citing intelligence sources, said it was Hakimullah’s brother who gave the interview to BBC some days ago.

Hakimullah Mehsud’s look-alike brother was specially summoned from Afghanistan to head the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan on a temporary basis while a decision to appoint the new chief was taken by Taliban leader Mullah Omar.

The security forces also said the Taliban declared Hakimullah Mehsud as their new chief to prove their top leadership is still alive. Sources said, the security forces are finalizing preparation to launch a massive offensive against the Taliban in South Wazirisitan.

British PM didn't want Lockerbie bomber to die in prison

"Mr Rammell [a Foreign Office Minister] had stated that neither the Prime Minister nor the Foreign Secretary would want Mr Megrahi to pass away in prison"

Britain would rather see terrorists set free than die in prison while it bans people, such as Michael Savage and Geert Wilders, from entering the country because of political speech. Times Online

Abdulati Alobidi, the Libyan Minister for Europe, told how he had warned Bill Rammell, a Foreign Office Minister visiting Tripoli, that Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi should not be allowed to die in a Scottish prison.

"Mr Alobidi confirmed that he had reiterated to Mr Rammell that the death of Mr Megrahi in a Scottish prison would have catastrophic effects for the relationship between Libya and the UK," the note released by the Scottish government said.

"Mr Alobidi went on to say that Mr Rammell had stated that neither the Prime Minister nor the Foreign Secretary would want Mr Megrahi to pass away in prison but the decision on transfer lies in the hands of the Scottish ministers." [...]

Ten letters released by the UK Ministry of Justice and Foreign and Commonwealth Office appeared to back Downing Street in its insistence that no explicit pressure had been applied on the Scottish government to release or transfer al-Megrahi.

But there was plenty of evidence to suggest that the UK tacitly supported such a decision, including what appears to be a U-turn by Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, who went back on a previous pledge to have al-Megrahi specifically excluded from a prisoner transfer agreement being negotiated with the Libyans.

Also released today were two letters from the Foreign Office, including one from Ivan Lewis, Mr Rammell's successor at the Foreign Office. Mr Lewis also insisted that the final decision would be up to the Scottish government, but encouraged Mr MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Secretary, to consider the Libyan demand for al-Megrahi's release.

These taliban terrorist scum aren't very eager to die in the name of allah. Xinhuanet

ISLAMABAD, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- At least 105 militants surrendered to the Pakistani security forces in the insurgency-hit Swat valley on Tuesday, a military commander said.

The militants, including 18 wanted and a Taliban council member, were produced at a news conference at Kanju, three kilometers of Mingora, the main city in Swat of North West Frontier Province.

Brig Salman Akbar, who is in charge of military operations, said that all those surrendered militants belonged to Kabal area of the Swat. He said a Taliban council member Abdul Jabar was among those surrendered.

It is the second time in less than 10 days that Taliban militants surrendered in groups to the security forces. Last week, a group of 65 suspected militants surrendered to the security forces.

Taliban destroy NATO supplies near Pak-Afghan border

Probably one of the weaker points of the war in Afghanistan is the logistics. Since Afghanistan is a landlocked country most of NATO's supplies are trucked through Pakistan and that includes territories with a heavy presence of taliban. The New York Times

CHAMAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - Suspected Taliban militants set fire to 18 container trucks carrying supplies for Western forces in neighboring Afghanistan in the Pakistani border town of Chaman, police said on Monday.

Some 300 trucks were parked near the border crossing in the country's southwest, as the border had been closed by Pakistani authorities since Friday in a row with their Afghan counterparts over the checking of trucks coming from landlocked Afghanistan.[...]

"They came on motorcycles. They first opened fire with guns, then threw a rocket-propelled grenade toward our vehicles and ran away," Akhtar Mohammad Niazi, a driver, told Reuters.

Malaysian muslims threaten Hindus over temple

Quran: 009:033

He it is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse. South Asia Mail

Washington, DC (August 31, 2009) - Global condemnation continued today after a Malaysian Muslim community threatened local Hindus late last week over a proposed Hindu temple relocation. When a proposal to shift the Sri Mariamman Hindu temple to a new area was floated by the government, local residents rushed out of the Shah Alam State Mosque after Friday prayers carrying a severed cow's head. Muslim community leaders threatened bloodshed against Hindus if the temple was built and then threw the cow's head at the door of the building for the state Secretariat while kicking and spitting upon the carcass. Police did not intervene in the protest and have yet to identify any of the leaders of the Muslim mob, a stark contrast from the disruption of any illegal gathering that is held in Malaysia.

As hybrid cars gobble rare metals, shortage looms

I'm sure Al Gore won't mind that the overpriced Hybrid cars , he thinks we all should drive , Are responsible for the raping of the earth and it's precious metals ! as long as the emissions stay low , and he can still ride in a suburban when he needs to travel !


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Prius hybrid automobile is popular for its fuel efficiency, but its electric motor and battery guzzle rare earth metals, a little-known class of elements found in a wide range of gadgets and consumer goods.

That makes Toyota's market-leading gasoline-electric hybrid car and other similar vehicles vulnerable to a supply crunch predicted by experts as China, the world's dominant rare earths producer, limits exports while global demand swells.

Worldwide demand for rare earths, covering 15 entries on the periodic table of elements, is expected to exceed supply by some 40,000 tonnes annually in several years unless major new production sources are developed. One promising U.S. source is a rare earths mine slated to reopen in California by 2012.

Among the rare earths that would be most affected in a shortage is neodymium, the key component of an alloy used to make the high-power, lightweight magnets for electric motors of hybrid cars, such as the Prius, Honda Insight and Ford Focus, as well as in generators for wind turbines.

Close cousins terbium and dysprosium are added in smaller amounts to the alloy to preserve neodymium's magnetic properties at high temperatures. Yet another rare earth metal, lanthanum, is a major ingredient for hybrid car batteries.

Production of both hybrids cars and wind turbines is expected to climb sharply amid the clamor for cleaner transportation and energy alternatives that reduce dependence on fossil fuels blamed for global climate change.

Fresh clashes in Pakistan's Swat valley; dozens killed

Maybe Pakistan should rethink there backing off of the Taliban ?



MINGORA, Pakistan (reuters) - Pakistani troops killed 15 militants in fresh clashes in Swat, the army said on Tuesday, taking the death toll to 45 in five days after a lull in the campaign to clear the Taliban out of the northwestern valley.

Security forces also launched an operation to flush out militants in the northwestern tribal region of Khyber, bordering Afghanistan, a government official said.

The army went on the offensive in Swat in late April and says it has killed over 2,000 militants, and lost 312 soldiers in the fighting. Independent casualty estimates are unavailable.

Despite the Taliban's losses, the recent clashes and a suicide attack in Swat's main town of Mingora on Sunday showed they can still hit back.

"It was very precise and we managed to kill 15 militants," Lt. Col. Akhtar Abbas, a military spokesman in Swat, said of the attack launched on Monday evening.

The army had already killed at least 30 insurgents in encounters since Friday, while 12 police recruits were killed by a suicide bomber on Sunday.

Iran's Ahmadinejad plans U.N. visit:

Awesome , it is slowly becoming a tradition for Ahmadinejad , to come to the U.N and spout his hatred of the U.S.
What will he say this year ? just more of the same , U.S. is bad evil Zionists regime , Iran iz jus a nice peazful country with nice nice ambitious nuclearz programs ! Kill the evil jewz , iran loves its people and it's nuclearz refinement facilities ! the U.S is great Satan , george bush needs to go , I mean Obama needs to go ! blah , blah , blah .....

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans to address this month's U.N. General Assembly meeting, an aide said on Tuesday, in what would be his first trip to the West since his disputed re-election in June.

Ahmadinejad's attendance of the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations headquarters in New York would take place in the same month that Western powers have set as a deadline for Tehran to agree to talks on its nuclear program.

U.S. President Barack Obama, who has given Iran until September to take up an offer of talks on trade benefits if it shelves nuclear enrichment or face harsher sanctions, will speak at the same U.N. meeting on September 23.

"The president's trip to New York is still on his agenda and relevant officials here in Tehran are working on the necessary preparations," Ali-Akbar Javanfekr, Ahmadinejad's media adviser, told Reuters.

"The date of his arrival there and the length of his visit depend on coordination between Tehran and the United Nations. This is the same for the day of his speech," he said.

In a speech at the same event last year, Ahmadinejad railed against "Zionist murderers" and vowed to resist American bullying and defend Iran's right to nuclear power.

Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful power generation, but the West suspects it is aimed at making bombs.
