...Obama Goes to Europe I enjoyed Karen Tumulty's article and overseas interview with Barack Obama [Aug. 4].

In our interview, Cheek said he was not planning any organized protests, and he had yet to set up any meetings with government officials. He's extremely sensitive to the fact that many Olympic athletes have trained their whole lives for this brief shining moment, and if taking up the Darfur cause is a distraction...
...interview, Gilani dismissed claims of links between militants and elements in the ISI, although in Pakistan, some observers have consistently maintained that the ISI has not severed links with clients in the jihadist world. Others counter that last year's suicide bomb attacks on buses carrying ISI personnel should dispel such claims. "This is a lot of bullshit, really," Gul said of the claims.
