Stable Relationship with Russia a Priority for Merkel Europe Deutsche Welle 15.01.2006
On the heels of her first trip to Washington as chancellor, Angela Merkel embarks on a similar official visit to Russia Monday, where she will meet with President Vladimir Putin. What are the expectations of the visit?
The talks between the Russian and German leaders scheduled for Monday are approaching with a certain amount of suspense. Not only was her predecessor, Gerhard Schröder, one of Russian staunchest advocates on the world stage, but he and Putin were also close personal friends. Schröder refused to raise even the slightest objection to any of Putin's controversial domestic policies over the years.
I like her style.

Gore to Address "Constitutional Crisis"
Gore to Address "Constitutional Crisis"
That is an understatement.
The vice president will, according to the groups that have arranged for his appearance -- the bipartisan Liberty Coalition and the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy -- address "the threat posed by policies of the Bush Administration to the Constitution and the checks and balances it created. The speech will specifically point to domestic wiretapping and torture as examples of the administration's efforts to extend executive power beyond Congressional direction and judicial review."
Coming only a few weeks after U.S. Representative John Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, introduced resolutions to censure President Bush and Vice President Cheney, and to explore the issue of impeachment, Gore in expected to "make the case that the country -- including the legislative and judicial branches and all Americans -- must act now to defend the systems put into place by the country's founders to curb executive power or risk permanent and irreversible damage to the Constitution."

I have to agree with them; The US military had no right to act this way.
Thousands of Protesters Tear-Gassed After US Airstrike Deaths in Pakistan
Pakistani police tear-gassed tribesmen who burned down a US-funded aid agency office after the deaths of 18 villagers in an airstrike targeting Al-Qaeda's number two, witnesses said.
'A FRIEND OF THE AMERICANS IS A TRAITOR'
Pakistani tribesmen march on a street in Inayat Killi village near Damadola, 200 km (124 miles) northwest of Islamabad, to protest against an airstrike in Damadola, January 14, 2006. A U.S. airstrike in Pakistan targeted al Qaeda's second-in-command, U.S. sources said, but Ayman al-Zawahri was away at the time, according to a senior Pakistani official on Saturday. The strike on Friday killed at least 18 people, including women and children, and three houses were destroyed in a village near the Afghan border, residents said. Pakistan condemned the airstrike and would summon the U.S. ambassador to protest the attack, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said. He had no information about Zawahri. REUTERS/Ali ImamAn estimated 5,000 people had gathered at a stadium near Khar, the main town in the Bajur tribal zone, close to the village of Damadola where Friday's attack happened, an AFP reporter said on Saturday.
Some demonstrators set fire to the offices of Associated Development Construction, a non-governmental organisation funded by the US Agency for International Development, an official at the aid group said.
"They have attacked our office in reaction to the deaths on Friday and put it on fire, it is badly damaged," site engineer Fazal Maibood told AFP

The Drone, the CIA and a Botched Attempt to Kill Bin Laden's DeputyIn the hunt for al-Qaeda, a missile attack on a mountain village killed women and children.
The attack was precise, the intelligence was flawed, and the strained relation between Pakistan and the US has been pushed to breaking point
by Jason Burke and Imtiaz Gul in Islamabad
The missiles were deadly accurate. In the pitch dark of a night in Pakistan's sparsely populated North West Frontier Province, they not only located the three targeted houses on the outskirts of the village of Damadola Burkanday but squarely struck their hujra, the large rooms traditionally used by Pashtun tribesmen to accommodate guests.
Yesterday some of the results of the strike were very clear: three ruined houses, mud-brick rubble scattered across the steeply terraced fields, the bodies of livestock lying where thrown by the airblast, a row of newly dug graves in the village cemetery and torn green and red embroidered blankets flapping in the chilly wind. Four children were among the 18 villagers who died in the brutally sudden attack on their homes.
''WHY DO US NOT DISINTEGRATE INTO 52 PIECES'' Angry protesters chant anti-U.S. slogans during a protest in Peshawar, Pakistan on Sunday, Jan. 15, 2006. Islamic groups staged nationwide protests Sunday against a purported CIA airstrike that Pakistan says killed innocent civilians instead of the apparent target, top al-Qaida lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahri. The sign on left reads 'U.S.S.R disintegrated into 15 pieces. Why do U.S. not disintegrate into 52 pieces.'
They have every right to be angry!

This Must Be Repeated!
World Can't Wait Drive Out the Bush Regime
There is no doubt that Bush has committed “impeachable offenses.” There is no doubt that millions of Americans – and tens of millions of people in other countries! – would jump for joy if he were to be impeached.
Impeachment, in short, is one way that this regime full of fascists could be driven from power.
Yet not a single Democratic Senator has stepped up to the plate on impeachment. People can debate why this is so, and should – and some of that debate is in the articles on this site.
The question we address here is how to change the political equation in this country so that Bush is forced to step down.
To do that, there must be a political demand coming from the grassroots.
There must be thousands, and then millions, in the streets demanding that Bush step down – and that the country change direction. “Power,” as the one-time slave and famous abolitionist Frederick Douglass once said, “concedes nothing without a struggle.”
Without such struggle, there will be no impeachment. And without that happening soon, the momentum that currently exists to oust Bush will dissipate, and even the new outrages that have come to light will take on a patina of “legitimacy.”
Millions must be awakened to the scope of Bush’s crimes and the danger of his agenda bringing need for him to go!
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO – NOW!
Nationwide demonstrations are set for January 31 – the night of Bush’s State of the Union address – to be followed by a massive demonstration in Washington, D.C. on February 4. The demand? BUSH STEP DOWN.
If you want Bush to go – if you want to see him impeached – this is where the gauntlet is.
Here. Now. Pick it up.
The world can’t wait for there to be more Abu Ghraibs and Alitos. The world can’t wait, lest the controversy over Iran turn into another unjust war, perhaps even more horrendous than the one still raging in Iraq.
It can’t wait as the Bush regime claims more and more unbridled power – power to spy on people, to imprison without charges, to torture – without even going through the motions of obeying the law. For more theocrats to be put into positions of power – including in the military.
Get involved. Donate. Organize.
Spread the word. And be there.
The world can’t wait.
Many are talking about impeachment. Check out some articles written from different perspectives on this:

Glum Democrats Can't See Halting Bush on Courts - New York Times
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 - Disheartened by the administration's success with the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr., Democratic leaders say that President Bush is putting an enduring conservative ideological imprint on the nation's judiciary, and that they see little hope of holding off the tide without winning back control of the Senate or the White House.
In interviews, Democrats said the lesson of the Alito hearings was that this White House could put on the bench almost any qualified candidate, even one whom Democrats consider to be ideologically out of step with the country.
Our self imposed king of US Imperialism will meet his day of reckoning

Airstrike by U.S. Draws Protests From Pakistanis - New York Times
PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Jan. 14 - Pakistan's government on Saturday condemned a deadly American airstrike on a village in the northwestern tribal region, and a senior Pakistani security official said he was confident that Ayman al-Zawahiri, the No. 2 leader of Al Qaeda and the target of the strike, had not been in the village when it was hit.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry condemned the loss of civilian lives and said it had delivered an official protest to the American ambassador in Islamabad. The information minister, Sheik Rashid Ahmed, said in Islamabad that the government wanted "to assure the people we will not allow such incidents to reoccur," The Associated Press reported.
American and Pakistani officials have said the American airstrike, on the village of Damadola, was believed to have been carried out in the early morning hours on Friday by a remotely piloted Predator aircraft armed with missiles.
On Saturday, a Central Intelligence Agency spokesman declined to comment on any raid that might have taken place. The agency is known to operate armed Predator aircraft, but the missions remain classified and are not generally acknowledged by the C.I.A.
The White House had no immediate comment, said a spokesman, Blair Jones.
So now we are bombing our 9/11 allies?

Able Danger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Able Danger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Able Danger was a highly classified United States Special Operations Command military intelligence program under the command of the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM).
It was created as a result of a directive from the Joint Chiefs' of Staff in early October 1999 by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Hugh Shelton, to develop a Information Operations Campaign Plan against transnational terrorism, "specifically al-Qaida."
According to statements by Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer and confirmed by four others, Able Danger had identified the September 11, 2001 attack leader Mohamed Atta, and three of the 9/11 plot's 19 hijackers, as possible members of an al Qaeda cell linked to the '93 World Trade Center Attacks. The group used all information legally collected under the rule of law.
Primarily consisting of classified information, all publicly obtained information was approved after a legal review of SOCOM lawyers. The early identification of the four hijackers by Able Danger appears to contradict the official conclusion of the 9/11 Commission, that American intelligence agencies had not identified Atta as a terrorist prior to the attack. This has resulted in a political controversy that has begun to damage the credibility of the bipartisan 9/11 Commission.
Operational Commanders decided to wait on contacting the FBI to allow the technology to mature. Louis Freeh, Richard Clarke, and former President Bill Clinton were likely never told that there were four al-Queda terrorists on American soil but the timing and evidence of this event tends to incriminate both the Clinton and the Bush administrations.
Later, Pete Schoomaker, one of the Generals in charge of Able Danger, was pulled out of retirement in 2003 and made Army Chief of Staff, an unprecedented move.
A new data mining effort, based on a reconstituted Able Danger type team called "Able Providence", has been proposed by Congressman Curt Weldon (R-PA).[1]
