    State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf says leaks on the Iran nuke talks by Israel would “betray” the US’s trust. “We’ve continuously provided detailed classified briefings to Israeli officials to keep them updated and to provide context for how we are approaching getting to a good deal,” she told reporters in Washington. “Any release of any kind of information like that would, of course, betray that trust.”

    "WASHINGTON -- The FBI's counterterrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering that some of the vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior government officials. Inspector John E. Lewis, deputy assistant director of the FBI for counterterrorism, told the Globe that the investigation hasn't yielded any evidence that the vehicles were stolen specifically for car bombings. But there is evidence, he said, that the cars were smuggled from the United States as part of a...

    The latest bombings and bloodshed in Baghdad have meant that violence in Iraq has once again been dominating the bulletins on Arab satellite television stations.

The coverage of the violence in Iraq by Arab satellite television stations has undergone a perceptible change...

    Recent Disasters and everyday killing by choice | January 1, 2004 | Vanity
    What is more brutual -- 200,000 totally innocent lives lost in man made killings by the choice of individuals or Mother Nature kill 117,000 people in Asia. Of course, I am talking about 200,000 abortions in the former case -- the taking of a human life by other human beings. In the latter case, the 117,000 people in Asia, I am referring to the events of December 26th 2004 because of an earthquake plus a tsunami. Every human life should be important to us. But we will all die. Someone tailgating on the interstate at 80MPH 10 feet behind another...
