...Qahtani's case, however, his lawyers say he was questioned exclusively at Guantanamo and that the U.S. military is in possession of all his interrogation records, which could be produced as evidence of torture.

Guitierrez, who saw her client in Cuba a little more than a week ago and plans to return next week, suggests that the only solution may be to transfer Qahtani to his native Saudi Arabia, which has accepted the repatriation of other nationals...
...join - and there will be trade sanctions if it doesn't. That's where Obama stands, and it's where McCain was going this week until he ducked.

Then it's time to pray for rain and hope God delivers consistently through the germination period. It's hard to imagine Nicaragua's rustic peasants being called on to save the day as the global food crisis has doubled average food prices in Latin America over...
...everyone agrees. Says Voice of the Faithful spokesman John Moynihan, "That's funny; I just came from a meeting of COR [Catholic Organizations for Reform], and there were a lot of people very buoyed up. We can now say to people, 'We have made a difference, and if you stick with us we are going to make a further difference'." Adds Peter Steinfels, a former editor of Commonweal, now a director of Fordham's Religion and Culture Center, "I think there is continuity in terms of the issues and the questions about whether Church structures can be altered."
