Before Engleitner spoke, Rammerstorfer told the audience the story of how he first met Englietner and what he learned from him. “It was clear for me that this man was something special and that his story could provide valuable lessons for the peaceful co-existence for mankind,” he said. Engleithner’s stories ranged from the harrowing—such as the time when he narrowly evaded what would have...

He has privately lobbied leaders from Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Italian Prime Minister Silvio...

General David Petraeus, the former top U.S. commander in Iraq, and former Baghdad Ambassador Ryan Crocker repeatedly quarreled with al-Maliki on the matter throughout 2008, pressing the Prime Minister to clear the way for the trial of at least one senior Ministry of Interior official accused of orchestrating prison abuses and murders. Al-Maliki resisted the U.S. pressure and largely seemed unconcerned about investigating a myriad of cases in which Iraqi security forces, chiefly the national police, remain accused of rape...
