...provincial elections, sending the measure back to the parliament for reconsideration. So U.S. and Iraqi forces in Mosul are left to slog on against the insurgency rooted there without the prospect of a change in the political dynamic that might alter the situation in the way the tribal revolt in Anbar Province against al Qaeda in Iraq did last year...
...overlook where a gigantic bronze statue stands in front of the Korean Revolution Museum. After we boarded the buses, a group of about 40 North Koreans walked up and made their way to the statue. We were just about to leave, but again there was a journalists' revolt. A few of us sprinted off the bus to get a better look at the scene unfolding before us, and once we went, the whole pack followed, as our minder-translators stewed helplessly.

...raged, he looked dramatically different from the enigmatic figure who inspired many East Timorese in 2006. In the days following his revolt, from a dilapidated mountain pousada at Maubisse, he successfully directed the battle to control the outskirts of Dili via mobile phone, all the while calmly strolling the building's spectacular battlements in his pajamas. Later that night, over dinner of curried chicken and beer in the dining room, he spoke lyrically of his desire to see East Timor succeed as a nation. With his death, as rumor and propaganda blur the details of the latest slaughter in Dili...
