Turkish/Syrian War Games:Jordan's King Abdullah appeared to threaten Israel with war in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" program on Sunday.
Abdullah, widely regarded as by far the most moderate of Arab leaders, said that if Israel is not pressured to meet Arab land-for-peace demands it will face war within 18 months.
Abdullah did not reveal how he could so precisely predict when the next Arab-Israeli war would erupt, but earlier in the day he used that knowledge to urge US President Barack Obama to put heavy pressure on Israel to surrender to Arab demands.
Turkey and neighbouring Syria began on Monday their first ever joint military drill along their border in an apparent bid to improve security. Israeli defence minister Ehud Barak called the move "a disturbing development".Clinton says US will never sell out Lebanon

Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 9:06 amI emailed Irish Nobel peace Prize Laurette, Mairead Maguire for her take on Sen. George Mitchell. She wrote:
.........Senator Mitchell is a good man whom I admire as he helped in the peace process in Northern Ireland.
I remember he travelled well over 100 times from USA to Northern Ireland to help bring the various parties together and was very helpful...
I am glad he has been appointed and know he will bring great compassion, fairness and perseverance to his enormous challenge. Yes, like him I believe every conflict can be solved, where there is political will. The conflict of the Israeli state and Palestinian state (yes I said Palestinian state as even if Israel does not recognize it the world does) can be solved by Israel ending its occupation and apartheid system and this is a problem of political will of Israel and USA to bring freedom and justice to the people of Palestine. I hope the appointment of Senator Mitchell is a sign that the USA Administration is Prepared to treat both parties fairly and equally, and to work for Palestinians Human rights and Freedom....Peace Eileen, Mairead.........

The video purports to show Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan, the half-brother of the Manchester City owner, Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, participating in the torture of an Afghan grain dealer with whom he had had a disagreement.
The al Nahyan clan's position as rulers of Abu Dhabi, the biggest of the seven emirates that make up the UAE, means they have also acted as hereditary rulers of the state since it was founded in 1971.

Mr Cuomo said on Thursday that Mr Lewis’s testimony and other findings “raises fundamental questions about the interaction of regulators and those they regulate”.

Russia, US to hold "unprecedented" talks on economy
Obama's budget will make us the most socialist country in the worldThe source said the Russian delegation, headed by Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, will meet with the new U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and President Barack Obama's economic advisers Lawrence Summers and Paul Volcker."Such broad contacts with the economic bloc (of the U.S. administration) have never taken place before, they are unprecedented," the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told reporters.The source said Kudrin has already been working closely with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner but the two countries needed to broaden these contacts to include other officials.
What is truly disturbing is the American people would gladly hand over their hard-won freedoms for simple short-term financial security. In fact, a March 2009 Gallup Poll found that while “64 percent of Republicans say they place more trust in businesses to solve the nation’s economic problems, 72 percent of Democrats say they trust the government more, underscoring the enormous philosophical divide in the way Republicans and Democrats view the government’s role.”

LATimes: Obama's New Muslim Appointment is Hope... for Egyptians
I will begin this right at the top by saying that I don't care a whit if the appointment of any American official brings hope to Egyptians. After all, an American official should be concerned with America's interests not Egypt's. Not that I am saying that American officials or appointments should necessarily have as a chief criteria for appointment an interest in the denigration of any foreign land, but that what's good for America should be any new official's chief concern.Obama crony, king-maker Lou Susman goes to LondonHowever, apparently the L.A. Times thinks that it is germane to U.S. interests that Egyptians are "rejoicing" that President Obama has appointed a female American Muslim to his administration. In, "Muslim woman's appointment as Obama advisor draws cautious optimism" from April 22, Noha El-Hennawy is reporting from Cairo that Egyptians are happy with Obama's purported outreach to Muslims.
Susman, a Chicago lawyer who retired Feb. 1 as vice chairman of Citigroup Global Markets, has been a Democratic moneyman for decades and served as finance director for several presidential campaigns. He was such a prodigious fundraiser for Sen. John Kerry in 2004, helping raise $247 million, that he was described in a Chicago Tribune article as a vacuum cleaner because he was able to “Hoover” money from “deep pockets.”Plouffe Daddy on Clinton
"I will admit, personally, It was a hard thing for me to get my arms around in the beginning when [Obama] first raised" the notion of appointing Clinton Secretary of State, Plouffe said, citing the appointment as evidence of how personally secure Obama is.Obama’s Communications Chief to Quit"My respect for her grew – my annoyance might have grown too -- but there’s very few human beings" who could have endured the long, almost impossible, primary.

Ellen Moran is leaving as his communications director after three months to be the chief of staff to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, a White House official confirmed on Tuesday. Ms. Moran, who turns 43 on May 1, was something of a surprise choice last November for the job of developing the president’s message and communications strategy.The National Security Agency will not take charge of cyber security in the US, notwithstanding calls for it to do so in what is increasingly seen as a critical area.
While she has been a widely respected Democratic operative for years, most recently as executive director of EMILY’s List, the influential fund-raising network for candidates who support abortion rights, and before that in the AFL-CIO’s political department, Ms. Moran had not been a part of Mr. Obama’s tight campaign circle of advisers. She had strongly backed Hillary Rodham Clinton initially for the Democratic presidential nomination. “It wasn’t a good fit,” said one Democrat close to the White House, in a comment echoed by several others, all of whom nonetheless praised her political skills.

Raytheon partners with Narus
Raytheon Company has partnered with Narus in which Raytheon will embed NarusInsight(TM) to monitor internet protocol (IP) traffic and provide knowledge to help manage and protect sensitive government networks.OK... WhoTF is NARUS?
Narus is a US private company which produces mass surveillance systems. It was founded in 1997 by Ori Cohen, who had been in charge of technology development for VDONet, an early media streaming pioneer.Tick Tock mah ferals. One day you will simply never hear from me again. And everyone who sounds like me, too. Gird up.
It is notable for being the creator of NarusInsight, a supercomputer system which is used by the NSA and other bodies to perform mass surveillance and monitoring of citizens' and corporations' Internet communications in real-time, and whose installation in AT&T's San Francisco Internet backbone gave rise to a 2006 class action lawsuit by the Electronic Frontier Foundation against AT&T.In 2004, Narus engaged the former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency, William Crowell as a director. From the Press Release announcing this:
- "Crowell is an independent security consultant and holds several board positions with a variety of technology and technology-based security companies. Since 9/11, Crowell has served on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Task Force on Terrorism and Deterrence, the National Research Council Committee on Science and Technology for Countering Terrorism and the Markle Foundation Task Force on National Security in the Information Age."
Narus has venture funding from companies including JP Morgan Partners, Mayfield, NeoCarta, Presidio Venture Partners, Walden International, Intel, NTT Software and Sumisho Electronics. Narus has several business partners who provide various technologies similar to the features of NarusInsight. Several of the partners are funded by In-Q-Tel.
