...enemy, says the President - conservative columnist Robert Novak claims administration sources have told him the Bush administration plans to withdraw from Iraq next year. (This being the same Robert Novak through whom senior administration officials allegedly named Valerie Plame, the wife of Ambassador Joseph Wilson of Niger uranium probe fame, as a CIA agent.) Novak says his administration sources tell him that Iraq's election, scheduled for January, will be used as a pretext for withdrawing, even though the insurgency will still be raging and civil war will result. While some of what Novak's sources have told him sounds...
...authorities are holding 20 suspects in connection with the blasts, which they believe were masterminded by suspected al-Qaeda operative Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed. He was arrested in Italy in June and awaits extradition. The PP has also made a formal request for Zapatero to testify. It wants to probe whether he was involved in organizing apparently impromptu protests in front of PP headquarters, which they say violated the law against political demos on the day before elections. Aznar won't testify until October. Zapatero said last week he would be willing to testify if called, though he told TIME...
...CRASHED. GENESIS, NASA space probe, after its parachutes failed to open on its return to Earth's atmosphere; in Utah. The probe, part of a $260 million mission to study the evolution of the solar system, captured solar particles 1.5 million kilometers from Earth on its 37-month journey. With its cargo considered too delicate for a hard landing, helicopters manned by stunt pilots were deployed to snare the craft as it drifted down?but the parachute mishap meant the saucer-shaped ship plummeted to Earth at almost 320 km/h. NASA researchers hope to recover much of the payload, about...
...week, seems to be an indication that two complicated spy cases have become linked. Several weeks ago, according to federal law-enforcement officials, Franklin, who had been under investigation by the FBI for giving classified information to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), agreed to cooperate in a probe into whether the pro-Israel group was passing sensitive U.S. secrets to Israel. Franklin's call to the ex-I.N.C. man, who has provided TIME with credible information in the past, suggests that Franklin was also assisting the FBI in a separate inquiry into how highly classified details...
National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and her deputy Stephen Hadley were informed of the FBI's probe into AIPAC at least two years ago, according to a U.S. official. But that did not hinder numerous contacts between AIPAC and top Administration officials as well as congressional leaders of both parties. The lobbying group derives its power from its backing among influential Jewish Americans. Just last May, President George W. Bush attended AIPAC's annual conference in Washington and thanked the organization for "serving the cause of America" and bringing to public attention the threat of Iran's development of nuclear...
