...slightly fractious team of co-conspirators, sneakily managed to string a wire between the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center, 1350 feet above the ground. At 7:15 that morning he stepped out on the wire and danced and pranced on it for something like an hour before the cops nabbed...
...just for Serbia. When the wars of the Yugoslav succession began in June 1991, Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jacques Poos, with an eye to resolving them, famously declared: "This is the hour of Europe." It wasn't, of course. The brutal force of the combatants, especially those led by Karadzic and Mladic, made a mockery of feckless attempts by Europeans to broker peace.

His diatribe against the U.S. and Western Europe was devoid of the fiery rhetoric that he has employed in the past to whip crowds into a frenzy. Among other things, he reportedly discussed...
...authorize the military tribunals, which it did by passing the Military Commissions Act during the waning days of the Republican Congress in the fall of 2006. Hamdan was recharged under the Military Commissions Act and moved into a new maximum-security facility. There he was permitted only an hour or so of indirect contact with other detainees during his daily recreation period. (He had to exercise alone, but his chain-linked recreation pen adjoined several others...
