Teatrito Colombia

Que EU (¿co?)gobierne

El narcotráfico, pretexto

Las tormentas de Noaborto

El teatrito se les ha caído antes de lo previsto a los malos guionistas de la compañía Calderón de Labar Ca... Un legislador estadunidense ha revelado en reunión con mexicanos que el gobierno de la Fe (en Lipe) ha andado de pedinche con el jefe George WC para que haga el favor de aplicar en su patio trasero un plan similar al Colombia, aunque tal vez sin presencia militar explícita. Revelado el secreto, funcionarios labarquenses se han esmerado en negar que México esté perdiendo soberanía y dignidad, pues nada más estamos por aceptar cientos de millones de dólares, aviones, helicópteros, armamento, asesoría, capacitación, informes, tecnología y "coordinación", pero sin que esté considerado, por el momento, que físicamente se instalen en el país soldados estadunidenses. ¡Ah, qué alivio!

US 'kills Afghan police with friendly fire'

AP

Published: 12 June 2007

US forces mistakenly killed seven Afghan police and wounded four others in a friendly fire incident early today in eastern Afghanistan, Afghan officials said.

Fighting started just before midnight last night, between Taliban militants and Afghan police.

Two hours into the battle, US forces arrived and mistakenly opened fire on the police, said Khogyani district police chief Zurmai Khan.

A police spokesman said a US helicopter fired rockets, killing seven policemen and wounding four.

"I think there was a misunderstanding - the helicopter opened fire at the police post," he said.

Police manning a remote checkpoint in Nangarhar province said an American convoy backed by helicopters approached and opened fire despite their protests and calls for them to stop.

"I thought they were Taliban, and we shouted at them to stop, but they came closer and they opened fire," said Khan Mohammad, one of the policemen at the post, adding: "I'm very angry. We are here to protect the Afghan government and help serve the Afghan government, but the Americans have come to kill us."

A spokeswoman for Nato's International Security Assistance Force said she had no information that US forces that fall under ISAF's command were involved. A spokesman for the separate US-led coalition said he was looking into the report.

Meanwhile, a US-led coalition and Afghan troops killed more than 24 suspected Taliban fighters during an eight-hour battle in in Shah Wali Kot in Kandahar.

The troops were initially ambushed by militants but retreated after several of their fighters were killed.

A force of about 30 Taliban later attacked the same coalition convoy, and Western forces called in airstrikes on a compound and a vehicle.

"During the eight-hour battle, more than two dozen enemy fighters were killed, " the coalition said.

Putin 'climb-down' claimed as police allow second protest

By Anne Penketh, Diplomatic Editor

Published: 12 June 2007

An opposition demonstration in Russia has taken place peacefully without police intervention for the second time in two days, after authorities crushed earlier unauthorised rallies organised by critics of President Vladimir Putin.

Interior Ministry troops allowed 2,000 people to gather near Moscow's central Pushkin Square yesterday, despite official warnings that no more than 500 would be allowed.

Garry Kasparov, an opposition leader, told the demonstrators, who waved banners proclaiming "Russia without Putin!", that "it is not important how many people decided to come today. We are concerned about our future, about the future of Russia." The rally by his Other Russia coalition on Saturday also proceeded without being broken up by police in St Petersburg, where an international financial meeting was being held.

Vladimir Bukovsky, a former Soviet dissident exiled in the UK, said it was "interesting" that the authorities had allowed the Kasparov demonstrations to go ahead, in contrast with earlier protests which have led to clashes with police.

"They've finally decided to climb down, as it looked as though their measures were counter-productive," said Mr Bukovsky. Asked whether he thought international pressure, including from G8 leaders at their summit in Germany, may have led to the shift, he said: "It must have been a factor."

Tony Blair noted yesterday as he reported back to Parliament on his talks with Mr Putin: "I set out our view that people were becoming worried and fearful about the implications of present Russian policy."

Mr Bukovsky has agreed to have his name put forward as a presidential candidate in elections in March next year, in which Mr Putin is barred from running. Mr Kasparov and his allies say the Kremlin has used control of the media, political pressure and electoral reforms to silence dissent and ensure Mr Putin's allies maintain power.

Should we still be worried?

When the news first broke that 'mad cow disease' could be passed to people, some scientists predicted that tens of thousands of us could eventually die of vCJD, the human form of BSE. Ten years on, the death toll stands at 160. So has the real danger passed? Or are many of us still carrying the disease unknowingly? Ian Sample talks to the scientists most closely involved in the crisis and learns that the real threat now is not from cows - but from other humans

Sunday June 10, 2007

The Observer

I was on a train going home after a hard day's work. My controversial book, The Islamist, had been in bookshops for only a week. My mobile phone had taken on a new life, constantly ringing as journalists wanted to arrange interviews, get comments. The calls registered as 'anonymous caller' most times. So I was glad to see the name of a Muslim friend appear on my phone screen.
