...recurring flaw in the Administration's anti-terrorism efforts. The current prosecution of suspected terrorist and U.S. citizen Jose Padilla, for example, almost collapsed because of Padilla's claim that his guards' abuse made him incompetent to stand trial; as with al-Marri, the government has changed its legal approach against Padilla, initially branding him an enemy combatant and then, when it seemed that it might lose its case before the Supreme Court, deciding to charge him criminally. Lederman says the improper reason for declaring al-Marri an enemy combatant will probably doom the government's appeal in the case...
Over the weekend, legislators indicated they were moving closer to Crist's approach - a $31.6 billion reduction over the next five years.

...from New Hampshire and Maine to Iowa, Mississippi and Wisconsin, many tactics have been employed to lure a new generation of Catholics to the priesthood - Internet campaigns, TV commercials, high school marketing and nominating petitions in dioceses.

"Many...
...paid woman in Siwa, earning more than $250 a month - more than most local men - as the star employee of Siwa Womens' Native Artisanship Development Initiative. The company was the brainchild of Cairo entrepreneur Laila Neamatalla who, together with her brother, leading environmentalist Mounir Neamatalla, have adopted a unique approach in their effort to plug Siwa into the global economy - the heritage hotels and local industries they have built are based largely on the skills, materials and traditions of the Siwa community...
