US Accepts Offer From Tehran for Broad TalksWhich broad should we talk about?
The United States has decided to ignore Iran's refusal to discuss its nuclear program and instead accept a vague Iranian plan for talks on security issues as the opening gambit to draw Tehran into real negotiation. The effort to "test" Iran's intentions, announced on Friday, came after Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said his country is skeptical of the need for new sanctions on Iran, giving the Americans little choice but to treat seriously Iran's latest offer.Ahmadinejad plans NY trip in 'mid-September'

Interview with Afghan Lieutenant General Hadi Khalid – Part One
Lieutenant General Abdul Hadi Khalid was the Afghan First Deputy Minister of the Interior for Security from May 2006 to late June 2008. Specializing in counter-narcotics, border policing and internal security, he announced the largest drug seizure in history (The Scotsman, June 12, 2008; Daily Mail, June 30, 2008). He lost his post after a dispute with the Karzai administration last year but remains one of Afghanistan's leading thinkers on regional ethno-political dynamics and transnational criminal networks. Jamestown sat down with Hadi Khalid at his home in Kabul and discussed a wide range of challenges facing Afghanistan’s border security as a landlocked state with six neighbors, as well as the post-Bonn agreement successes and failures in the creation of the Afghan National Police.Pakistan army captures Taliban leader in Swat

Taliban Control Spreads in Afghanistan
Why the US is afraid of 'Afghanization'
I point the purple finger of fraud directly at ourselves.
The weakest link in the United States' Afghan strategy has been its handling of the calculus of power in Kabul. Prima facie, this may appear a matter of cultural mishap. During Zalmay Khalilzad's tenure as the American ambassador in Kabul, he conducted himself as viceroy and Washington made it a point to let it be generally understood that President Hamid Karzai played second fiddle.Gun Prices Soar As Afghanistan's Postelection Crisis Continues
However, after Khalilzad's departure in 2005, and as Karzai won his first election as president, he began coming into his own. But then, as the Afghan situation deteriorated in 2006, Washington began casting Karzai as the fall guy responsible for the accumulated failures of the war ranging from the shoddy follow-up on Afghan reconstruction, failure to check poppy cultivation and drug trafficking, widespread corruption and flawed "capacity-building" by Afghan institutions. Allegations against Karzai were carried to an extreme. So, where is the real Karzai? Who indeed is the real Karzai? How "strong" was he so that he could "fail"? What happens to Karzai now in the aftermath of the tumultuous presidential election? Is toppling Karzai necessarily a part of the US agenda?
The reliable measure of stability in many countries is the value of the currency or the price of equities, bread or fuel — but not in Afghanistan: here the key indicator that nearly every Afghan keeps tabs on is the price of a Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle. And the bad news is that the market is bullish. The stepped-up Taliban offensive and mounting discord over the outcome of last month's election have seen the price of a Chinese-made AK smuggled in from Pakistan rise to $400 from $150 in just three months. "People are arming themselves," a Western official in Kabul noted with alarm.Pressure grows in Afghanistan for Hamid Karzai to strike a deal

Note to OPEC: Siberia not Saudi
Listen, insolent and ignorant journalist dogski, Russia is Number ONE now. Get it right. or there will be consequences.
~Vladdest of them all
An episodic courtship between Russia, the world’s second largest oil exporter and its sometime rivals in the OPEC group of oil exporting nations, went cold at the beginning of this year when Russia failed to make good on hints that it might cut output in line with OPEC, dominated by Saudi Arabia and other desert states of the Middle East.Gazprom eyes one-third of Europe's gas market
Prices for oil, the economic lifeblood of Russia and OPEC countries alike, had fallen below $40, OPEC argued, and supply cuts had to be made to boost prices and finance investment into the oil industry. Alexander Medvedev, deputy chief executive of Russian energy giant Gazprom, told this year’s Reuters Russia Investment Summit that Russia had an excuse for avoiding the multimillion barrel cuts imposed by OPEC: the Siberian chill .
“It is a very simple explanation for this: We are not in a desert where it’s easily to regulate, we are in an extreme situation in Siberia where reserves could be damaged if you up and down your production levels.”
If Russia shuts down Siberian wells, its industry members argue, they could seize up forever as they go cold. And Russia hardly left OPEC hanging, Medvedev argued: The financial crisis took its toll even on Russia’s cash rich oil companies: “Actually the supply was substantially lower in the first half of the year.” Medvedev also said he was still struggling to understand where from the rival Nabucco pipeline will get its gas to rival Gazprom on European markets. “Even at the (Nabucco) signing ceremony I looked at the photos and tried to find any gas supplier and with all my attempts I could not find any. And it looked strange.”

TURKMENISTAN: ETHNIC UZBEKS FACING DISCRIMINATION
Ethnic Uzbeks living in Turkmenistan are subject to routine discrimination, a human rights group asserts. Officially 9.2 percent of Turkmenistan’s population is Uzbek.

11 collectors discharge sewage directly into Caspian Sea
Informally, though.
“In connection with ban on discharge in the lake, many Baku settlements and industrial enterprises (including even the largest metallurgic factory Baku Steel Company) became to throw their waste products into Hovsan channel which delivers 1.5-2 cu m per a second of wastes into the Caspian Sea. Waste water is also being discharging through Zykh buildings into the sea. In accordance with official data, their uncleared flowing into sea makes 40,000 cu m per day, but in reality 120,000 cu m can flow into the sea,” source said. Hovsan channel has no real owner. “As a result, it will be turned out that there is no demand for Hovsan discharge sluice, which is planned to be built through sewage disposal plants. At the planned capacity of 800,000 cu m it will get 400,000 cu m at the best case, and the expected expenses on construction of the channel to the sum of $150 million will appear vain,” source said.UZBEKISTAN: TASHKENT SET TO ISSUE URANIUM EXTRACTION TENDERS

HAHAHA silly blogger. Hope in one hand and shit in other and see which makes fullest firstly.
Today's Economist reports, "Starting this spring, an unprecedented wave of arrests of government and state-company officials and bankers on various charges--mostly corruption or embezzlement--has caused alarm. A number of people, fearing they may be next, have left the country. Some arrests seem unconnected with actual wrongdoing and have been widely attributed, including by Mr Zhovtis, to behind-the-scenes struggles among the elite."
There are two pieces of positive news, however. A support committee has been formed in Almaty, and they have already held marches and made efforts to have Zhovtis declared a political prisoner. There are reports from some of his supporters that Zhovtis plans to continue his human rights advocacy work from the prison colony. Secondly, it appears that the state may have begun backpeddling. Askar Shakirov, a government ombudsman, has reportedly asked the Supreme Court to treat Zhovtis's appeal to the conviction lawfully and with fairness. Let's just hope the presidency has realized its mistake and releases Zhovtis as soon as possible.

Widely respected fund manager Bill Mott is worried a bubble is developing in the mining sector.

But Mott, who manages the PSigma Income fund, struggles to make a case for a continuation of a strong bull run for miners. ‘[Economic] data is uncertain but there has been a large amount of Chinese re-stocking and we also know that there has been a large amount of speculative financial trading and we believe that a bubble is now evident in this sector,’ he said.

Rice is also acting as the campaign's designated apologist for former ambassador Joe Wilson, the Kerry advisor whose claims that "Bush lied" about Iraq uranium were exposed as bogus by the Senate Intelligence Committee two weeks ago.
"As far as I know, we have no reason to believe that Mr. Wilson's words and deeds were not as he spoke them," Rice told reporters this week. "I have great respect for his integrity."
The same can't be said of Rice, however, at least according to several of her former colleagues, who say she deserves a hefty portion of blame for the fact that Osama bin Laden wasn't neutralized during the 1990s. "The FBI, in 1996 and 1997, had their efforts to look at terrorism data and deal with the bin Laden issue overruled every single time by the State Department, by Susan Rice and her cronies, who were hell-bent on destroying the Sudan," one-time Clinton diplomatic troubleshooter Mansoor Ijaz told radio host Sean Hannity in 2002.

Lieberman Gave State IG Whistleblower Documents on ArmorGroup in 2007Shell CEO says price hikes coming, oil sands neededJohn Gorman, the former ArmorGroup Kabul project manager turned whistleblower whose allegations against the company I wrote about yesterday, met with aides to Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) in 2007 to share with the Government Affairs Committee chairman his account of widespread fraud with the company State chose to protect its Kabul embassy.
CBS News confirms that Lieberman’s staff met with Gorman on Nov. 7, 2007. In a statement issued to the network, the senator’s office says it gave the State Department inspector general, Howard “Cookie” Krongard, a letter and supporting documentation from Gorman about ArmorGroup’s breaches of contract. It’s not clear what action State took in response, and I’ve asked for a clarification on that question. As it happens, though, November 2007 was a hectic time for the IG: he was about to resign his office after I caught him lying to Rep. Henry Waxman’s (D-Calif.) oversight committee about his knowledge of brother Buzzy’s position on the board of another State Department security contractor — Blackwater. But could the IG’s office have simply lost or forgot about the documents in the transition?

You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Synagogue From Jesus' Time Discovered
Ancient synagogue found in Israel
The synagogue was discovered in area called Migdal, historically an important settlement along the Sea of Galilee, which researchers say was mentioned in ancient Jewish texts as playing a prominent role during what is known as the Great Revolt, when Jews attempted to rebel against Roman rule. Migdal also figures in early Christian writings as the place where Mary Magdalene accompanied Jesus and the Apostles.Photos of the synagogue finds
