According to The New York Times, a spokesman for Senator McCain said that he “would have signed South Dakota’s extremist anti-abortion law.” HB1215, signed into law on March 6 by S.D. Governor Mike Rounds, prohibits all abortions in the state. The law also criminalizes the sale of any drug that could lead to the termination of a human embryo...
...weekend has left many in New Orleans scratching their heads, wondering how the scandal-plagued Congressman could have coasted into a ninth term even as a federal bribery investigation swirled around him. And more to the point, how effective can Jefferson be with a majority that ran on an anti-corruption campaign - particularly at a time when the city and Louisiana are in desperate need of federal help in the region's Hurricane Katrina recovery effort...
...heightened security was one reason why the Prime Minister's speech from the Serail on Sunday - to mark the anniversary of the car bomb assassination of an anti-Syrian newspaper publisher - was so sparsely attended.

...Iraqi people have squandered their liberation from Saddam Hussein's dictatorship. Religious fanaticism, political and tribal animosities and irrational anti-Western sentiments have created a crisis of national self-destruction. To reduce the regional prejudice against Western culture, a large scholarship program for young Muslims (not only from Iraq), with stays of two to four years in the U.S. and European countries, should be launched. I remember gratefully the liberation of Germany at the end of World War II and the subsequent favorable social, cultural and economic development. Gerhard Fritsch Nuremberg, Germany...
