...continue to provide aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) to give Hamas a chance to moderate its views. Two-and-a-half months have passed, and Hamas has chosen terror and violence rather than peace and reconciliation. In addition to supporting terrorism, Hamas has attempted to smuggle missiles and assault rifles through Jordan, a move which was duly rejected when Jordan canceled a diplomatic visit by a Hamas emissary. These troubling developments do not bode well for the Middle East peace process, and it seems that the only way for Palestinians and Israelis to attain peace is under a different...

His accuser, Brian, says cops excised Banton's role from their reports of the 2004 beating. A police spokesman denies that. But in dismissing the case earlier this year, the judge in the trial warned Banton to avoid violence and "seek legal recourses" when he has complaints against gays in the future. Banton refused TIME's request for an interview. His manager, Donovan Germain, insists that the singer is innocent and that "Buju's lyrics...
