BERLIN, July 11 (UPI) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel has praised U.S-German relations and emphasized her readiness to critique President Bush if necessary as his arrival nears. She said she had spoken about her concerns over the U.S.-run military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "at every meeting we had." Bush had recently said he was willing to close down Guantanamo. "Its end may of course not lead to renewed terror threats," Merkel said in a lengthy interview with German TV station RTL. Merkel, who invited Bush and his wife Laura to visit the eastern German state of Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania, in...

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is again spouting Jew-hatred, and displaying his complete ignorance of history (but what's rationality when expousing genocide?). In October, he urged that Israel be "wiped off the map." Today, he: ...expressed doubt that the Holocaust occurred and suggested Israel be moved to Europe. ...

"Although we don't...

Three days before Germany goes to the polls, the ruling parties clung to the hope that they can woo enough undecided voters -- reportedly one-third of the electorate -- to rescue Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's center-left coalition. Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer of the Greens, junior partner in the governing alliance, said his party still had a fighting chance Sunday of matching its record 8.6 percent result in the 2002 election. "We can reach that goal if we throw ourselves into the campaign and do not get sidetracked by any kind of speculation" about other possible coalition partners, Fischer told German news...

Actress Angela Bassett hasn't had a starring role on the big screen since 1998. So how is she getting her groove back? By dissing the role that earned Halle Berry an Oscar. The 43-year-old actress is speaking out about racism, sexism and ageism in Hollywood in the latest issue of Newsweek, and she saves her harshest words for Monster's Ball, saying she turned down the film's lead role because she thinks it was demeaning to black women. Berry later snagged the part--that of a death-row widow who inadvertently falls in love with the man who executed her husband--and nabbed the...
