...Meet Re Samantha Power's "Talking to Evil": It is one thing to sit down with other superpowers like China and Russia to help maintain the precarious balance of peace in the world [June 23]. It is quite another to sit down with those whose only goal is to destroy democracy across the globe and replace it with Islamic fundamentalism. Iran and Syria are not superpowers. Talking with them will only aid in giving our Muslim terrorist enemies the recognition and credibility they so desperately want. Jack Treese, SIMI VALLEY, CALIF...
...camp to a prison with research facilities, and then in 1950 - when he would no longer cooperate with the government's research efforts - to a harsher camp in Kazakhstan. There he began to write on stray scraps of paper. Once he memorized what he had written, he would destroy the scraps...
...nega-watts" - reduced electricity use through efficiency improvements - is much more cost-effective than investment in new megawatts, and the same is clearly true of nega-barrels. It might not fit the worldviews of right-wingers who deny the existence of global warming and insist that reducing emissions would destroy our economy, or of left-wing Earth-firsters who insist that maintaining our creature comforts would destroy the world, but there's a lot of simple things we can do on the demand side before we start rushing to ratchet up supply...
...Moreno-Ocampo's "arsonists" was Ahmed Haroun, who in 2003 and 2004, as Sudan's Minister of the Interior, allegedly organized the janjaweed militia to murder and destroy villages in Darfur. In February 2007, Moreno-Ocampo indicted Haroun and one of his henchmen, Ali Koshayb, a janjaweed leader.

Moreno-Ocampo believes the inquiry was about President...
...atmosphere, their thrusters emit a hot, bright tail of fire, making them an excellent target for heat-seeking infrared sensors. SDI researchers hope to develop small, inexpensive but highly accurate self-guided missiles known as ''smart rocks,'' which could home in on a rapidly moving missile or warhead and destroy it by force of impact. But if boost-phase kill is attractive, it is not easily achieved. Because infrared sensors cannot ''see'' around the curve of the earth, they must be in an orbit high enough to spy into Soviet territory. Some would even have to be fixed in geosynchronous...
