...Saudi teachings, complains Mohammed Besic, a former Bosnian Interior Minister, "are poisoning our youth." More recently the Saudis have focused on nearby Kosovo. Half of the $1 million the Saudi Joint Relief Committee spent in the two months after the 1999 war there went to sponsor 388 religious "propagators" intent on converting Kosovars to Wahhabism...
...block. Last week came the blockbuster spin-off, as Fourtou woke the company from Messier's Technicolor dream of becoming a major player in Hollywood. After an epic four-month auction among many of the world's largest media firms, the company signed a letter of intent with General Electric to merge its U.S. movie and TV businesses with GE's NBC. The result would be a new media giant that puts Vivendi's assets - Universal Pictures, theme parks in California, Florida, Spain and Japan, and four U.S. cable-TV stations - together with...

These hundreds of professional watchdogs have been trained over the past six months to recognize suspicious behavior by discreetly observing body language and movement and by listening to people talk. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) proposed a system last week that relies almost entirely on computers to do the profiling by gathering a passenger's commercial and personal data and travel history.
