...Iowa More Trouble In Postville The Department of Agriculture has cited Postville-based Agriprocessors Inc.--a kosher slaughterhouse targeted in a huge immigration raid in May--for improper slaughter, on the basis of video evidence (above) supplied by PETA. The Iowa attorney general has also charged the company with more than 9,000 child-labor-law violations, alleging it had hired children as young as 14. Agriprocessors denied the allegations...
...Coming on the heels of two other American incursions - a commando raid on a suspected militant hideout on Sept. 3 left 20 people dead, and a Sept. 4 missile strike killed four more - the Haqqani strike roiled Pakistani public opinion. At his inaugural press conference, Zardari was pitched indignant queries about whether he would end U.S. raids on Pakistani soil.

That was made clear in a Sept. 3 cross-border raid into Pakistan, apparently by Afghan-based U.S. forces, that left as many as 15 dead, including women and children, local officials said.

...around his hands, said he did not trust TIME. But on Monday night, with the streets littered with shattered glass and abandoned Dick Cheney masks, Adam, a 19-year-old from Winona, Minn. (like many of his peers, he refused to give his full name), talked about the police raid. He said that after the intense search on Friday he and others conversed with police candidly, trying to be as friendly as possible. "We talked to them like human beings for, like, three hours," he says, rubbing his maced hands. "So that's kind of become my mission...
