...cranny of Pakistan's long frontier. Several crashes have been reported. Thermal cameras are notoriously imperfect. Even under ideal conditions, images can be blurry. In one of several stills from drone video seen by TIME, it's hard to tell if a group of men is kneeling in prayer or the men are militants in battle formation. "The basic problem with all aerial reconnaissance is that it's subject to error," says George Friedman, who heads the security firm Stratfor. "But in a place like Pakistan, errors have enormous political consequences...
...public cause, turning his Wichita, Kans., clinic into ground zero in the fight over late-term abortions. Tiller, 67, lived with death threats and was shot in both arms in 1993 by an antiabortion activist.

Forty-five minutes later the Singapore immigration authorities are satisfied and the anxious chief engineer and his cohorts are ushered on board. Lee returns to the launch with two cold Cokes and a grin...
...Pope raised eyebrows again, this time in widening the usage of the Tridentine Mass, commonly known as the Latin Mass. Jewish concern focused on the Tridentine prayer "for the conversion of the Jews," which is spoken on Good Friday, the anniversary of Christ's Crucifixion and historically an occasion for anti-Jewish riots. Benedict made some conciliatory changes in the prayer's content but refused to drop the stated objective of "conversion," infuriating some Jewish leaders, who saw it as an unnecessary provocation...
