...people of Bangladesh in free, fair and transparent elections. This was our message before the declaration of the state of emergency, it is our message during the state of emergency, and it will be our message after the state of emergency is lifted. James F. Moriarty, United States Ambassador to Bangladesh, Dhaka...
...Bush Administration had come under increasing criticism this year for seeming to forget about Stansell, Howes and Gonsalves. But it can now openly claim, as U.S. officials had privately done, that it was simply allowing the Colombians to mount today's rescue. U.S. Ambassador to Colombia William Brownfield confirmed Wednesday night that the U.S. had been involved in the planning and intelligence-gathering stages of the operation.

Since the first priority of McCain and Obama's hosts would be to ensure that the candidates leave Iraq alive, they would by necessity take them to places the U.S. and Iraq have made safe and avoid places they have not. General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker are unlikely to introduce Obama and McCain to Iraqis who want to kill them, and thus their meetings would tilt heavily toward those Iraqis who want the U.S. to stay and away from those who are trying to force America to leave. As the New York Times...
