...Given that he stood accused of "abusing democratic freedoms," the 10-month prison sentence handed down to Tran Dung Tien in Hanoi last Wednesday was light. Tien, 78, had openly criticized corruption in Vietnam's Communist Party, but he's no garden-variety dissident. Tien joined the revolt against the French in the 1940s, was a longtime Party member?and for a few years served as the personal bodyguard of Ho Chi Minh...
Karzai's chief aide, Omar Daudzay, told a Kabul radio station that "the talks were initiated at the Taliban's request."

At the website myvwlemon.com, owners gripe about faulty brake lights, knobs that fall off, clutches that blow after just 96,000 km. VW says many of these problems are minor and that its cars remain solid over the long haul. It's also true that the Internet is home to complaints...
...effectiveness of the drugs that they can be made to take against their will. The very thought of promoting the use of the fruits of medical research for the facilitation and legitimization the destruction of life—besides being an utterly illogical proposition—should revolt even the least sensitive among us. It should also nauseate the entire medical profession. Applying medicine to ultimately enable the death of a patient flies in the face of the Hippocratic oath, and that prisons may have to resort to non-medical staff to administer the drugs should come as a loud...
