...Turkey were to take limited military action ... General Ralston is going to hold Turkey's hand," says Barkey, "not solve the problem." The p.k.k., meanwhile, claims not to be worried about the U.S.'s new interest in its affairs. p.k.k. political chief Aydar says that "if [Ralston's] approach is in favor of a military solution, we will oppose it ... But I doubt it will be." He argues: "The Kurds are an ally, a people on [the U.S.'s] side, why would they want to take them on?" The p.k.k.'s real enemy, says Aydar, is Turkey. And Turkey...
...Jeffs' capture. The FBI had warned that Jeffs typically travels with armed bodyguards and some of his followers had vowed to die or kill for him. Nobody wanted another Waco.

Much of it reads as if it comes straight from an industry journal on early-childhood education. For instance, one program's "multidisciplinary" approach "addresses information, skills and beneficial habits of mind from across traditional disciplines." Honestly, people, aren't we taking our cartoons just a little too seriously...
...Haniyeh was able to secure the journalists' freedom, but at a high price: he has agreed to give these armed extremists a role in deciding the fate of the Israeli soldier, these sources said. The kidnappers are more extreme in their approach to Israel (Prime Minister Haniyeh is a moderate within Hamas), and they will undoubtedly raise the ante for the release of the 18-year-old corporal, who is said to be in good shape even though his captors have so far refused to offer any proof he is still alive. So far, various mediators, including the Egyptians...
