...names and addresses of Ministry of Interior officials in close contact with American military officers and liaisons. Abu Hassan's Iranian handler wanted to know "who the Americans trusted and where they were" and pestered him to find out if Abu Hassan, using his membership in the Iraqi National Accord political party, could get someone inside the office of then Prime Minister Iyad Allawi without being searched. (Allawi has told TIME he believes Iranian agents plotted to assassinate him.) And the handler also demanded information on U.S. troop concentrations in a particular area of Baghdad and details of U.S. weaponry...
...fourth round of talks has been as fruitless as the previous three. After 13 days of meetings without substantive progress, negotiations were recessed until the week of Aug. 29. The participants?North Korea, the U.S., South Korea, Japan, China and Russia?have yet to reach even the most basic accord.

Indonesian military chief General Endriartono Sutarto urged G.A.M. to abide by the pact, scheduled to be signed in Helsinki on Aug. 15, saying, "Now is the time for them to put their weapons down and jointly rebuild Aceh." President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has promised to withdraw...
...Detainee 063 was never physically harmed. He put his health in peril with his refusal to eat and to take fluids. His treatment should be put in the proper context, which is that the prisoners at Guant?namo are fed meals that accord with their religious beliefs, they are given Korans and prayer rugs, and their health is monitored. Torture camp? Sounds more like a resort to me! Ron Spencer Raleigh, North Carolina...
