...Politics of Money As they face the possibility of renewed conflict, leaders of some of the ethnic militias aren't just looking out for their downtrodden populaces. They're also protecting their own interests in a region that, after all, extends into the infamous Golden Triangle. Starved of other economic means, some rebel armies have resorted to dubious funding schemes, like selling opium, illegal timber and methamphetamines. During the ceasefire period, the junta largely turned a blind eye to such businesses, which financed spacious villas and golf courses for some ethnic commanders...
...other people living in it, but keep in mind that "you have an obligation as a landlord not to bother people at all hours of the day and night," says Yoegel. When and how showings are acceptable should be spelled out in the lease. And remember that tenants probably aren't going to keep your house as pristinely organized and decorated as you would for potential buyers coming through.

The captures aren't a one-off occurrence. Four years ago, Indonesian commandoes killed Azahari bin Husin, the key bomb-maker for Jemaah Islamiah (JI), the extremist network that has as its stated goal the creation of a pan-Asian Islamic caliphate. Noordin is suspected of having been a central JI strategist before forming an even more radical, al-Qaeda-linked offshoot...
...seemingly unrelated data points into possible conspiracies - if he believed in conspiracies, which he doesn't, necessarily; he's just asking questions. He's just sayin'. In cheerful days of yore, he was a terrific host of a morning-zoo show on an FM Top 40 station. But these aren't cheerful times. For conservatives, these are times of economic uncertainty and political weakness, and Beck has emerged as a virtuoso on the strings of their discontent. Rush Limbaugh, with his supreme self-confidence, holding forth with "half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair," found...
