...dust and dirt, and when they get sick, their parents take them to Juarez doctors, who are cheaper and stay open into the night. If the children die, they are buried across the border; there it costs about $150 instead of the $2,000 for an American grave...
...bombings have given new urgency to the government's drive to pass a controversial antiterrorism law. "Terror never sleeps," Arroyo told legislators after the Jolo attack, calling for measures to "rid our country and the world of this grave threat." The law would allow authorities to detain terror suspects for up to 18 days without charges. (Currently, police are required to release uncharged suspects within 36 hours.)

...early-decision applicants who were already rejected were accidentally sent a welcome e-mail two months later. At the end of that same year, Duke University made the opposite mistake.

Local residents only found it because the ground was oozing blood. In all, 87 bodies were found over two days...
...This grave oversight, which stemmed from the military's unfamiliarity with civilian police methods and its unwillingness to learn, has led to numerous abuses and little accountability. The U.S. State Department, in a report released two weeks ago, documented numerous incidents in 2005, dating back to early May when Jabr was first appointed Interior Minister, where Sunni men were killed execution-style by Interior Ministry police or Shi'ite militias. In each case, Jabr ordered an investigation, and in each case the investigation had yet to report any findings...
