...news reignited a story that has been dogging Pelosi for weeks, through a surprise trip to Iraq and back, Mother's Day and the passage of the war supplemental bill. The Obama Administration this week reversed its decision to release hundreds of photos of detainees being intimidated and tortured, in an effort to get away from a subject that is increasingly eating into media coverage. Pelosi's move throws down the gauntlet before an agency known for selectively leaking politically lethal information when attacked and threatens to further distract...

Most ethnic groups get their own month to celebrate their culture. What do Arab-Americans get? "Orange alert," jokes comedian Dean Obeidallah. An American born in New Jersey to a Palestinian father and Italian-American mother, Obeidallah turned to comedy to fight the suspicion and ignorance he encountered in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. In 2003 he co-founded the New York Arab-American Comedy Festival, which runs this week in Manhattan. Obeidallah spoke with TIME about bridging cultures, the fading "siege" against Arab-Americans and taking stand-up to the Middle East. (See pictures of the history...
