...against all journalists," said Bill Saidi, editor of the Daily News on Sunday, at a meeting last week of his paper's supporters in London. "The independence we thought we were entitled to is not the independence we have." Publishers and journalists can't look to the courts for redress either. In the rare cases when a court does rule against the government, the decision is often ignored. After an administrative judge ordered that the Daily News should be allowed to reopen - citing bias on the part of the agency in charge of media registration - the police closed the paper...
...successful, the government will claim a major victory in the fight against Turkey's old way of doing business. That could also help accession talks with the European Union, which has been calling for reforms. And with George W. Bush weighing in on Motorola's behalf last year, redress in the U.S. case would please Washington, with which Ankara is eager to patch up relations after the Iraq war. Failure, however, could see the Uzans emerge politically stronger than ever. The Uzan business empire is built on humble foundations. The patriarch of the Uzan clan, Kemal...
...international league tables, and last week a doctors' panel noted big gains in the speed of getting anti-clotting drugs to heart-attack patients, something the government had targeted.

In a major speech last week, Blair touted the 25,000 new teachers hired under Labour - for 24,000 schools.

...systems for providing essential services like water and power have been wrecked. As in Germany, basic conditions of order and security are lacking in much of Iraq; there are too many weapons in the hands of too many people prepared to use them to settle old scores or redress new grievances. For American troops, Iraq is still a dangerous place. In the three weeks of war before U.S. soldiers penetrated Baghdad and hauled down the statue of Saddam Hussein in Firdos Square, 123 Americans died at the hands of the enemy or in accidents. In the weeks since April...
...legislation concerns the First and Seventh Amendments, which both give victims of gun violence the right to bring litigation against negligent gun dealers and manufacturers. The First Amendment states that Congress cannot remove a citizen’s right “to petition the government for a redress of grievances,” and the Seventh Amendment states, “In suits at common law… the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.” Immunity for the gun industry is clearly unconstitutional. Congressional representatives supporting the legislation, in blatant disregard for the Bill...
