...Missile Defense: B The aggressive push on missile defense has changed the terms of the international discussion from whether to how the U.S. builds such a system. And that's a signal achievement. Of course the Devil may still reside in the details, as Russia and the Europeans (and Senate Democrats) insist on a treaty-based approach rather than on simply scrapping the 1972 ABM pact that precludes NMD. And out there in the wider world, nobody really shares the Bush administration's enthusiasm or sense of urgency about its deployment...
...reason to do with the past and one concerning the future: Karadzic's capture would help settle who precisely ordered the murder of as many as 8,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995, the worst atrocity in Europe since 1945. It would also send a signal to other war criminals that they can no longer expect to play an open part in Bosnian society. U.S. Ambassador Thomas Miller says an arrest would "help change the way business is done in Bosnia" by undermining the communist-era system of patronage and corruption that Karadzic and his party have...

It looked like a self-conscious show of unity to signal conservative Republicans back home that making nice with China was administration policy, not just the Secretary of State...
...speed and direction, and store the data in digital archives. After six months, the tiny computer in the tag sends an electric current through a magnesium burn wire, which dissolves in the seawater and allows the tag to pop up to the surface. The tag transmits a GPS locator signal, and when satellites get a fix on it, they upload all the archived data of the shark's movements. The distances are likely to be huge. A shark tagged in Australia in a similar experiment this year traveled more than 1,800 miles along the country's coast in three...
...death for every hour Musharraf was on Indian soil, twice the normal rate. No one in Kashmir thinks that's a coincidence. New Delhi was expected to step up its maneuvers to back its demand in Agra that Pakistan stop supporting the Kashmiri insurgents. The rebels themselves wanted to signal that their struggle against India continued. Both messages were bound to be written in blood. The following is what is known of the last moments of some of the men, women and children who died as, 600 km to the south, hope of peace evaporated in Agra's withering heat...
