...grim logic of virology, Indonesia's decision was unconscionable and self-defeating. We need surveillance in every nation to track bird flu as it changes. But Jakarta got the attention of WHO officials, who came to the Indonesian capital earlier this week for an emergency meeting at which Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari called the current distribution system "more dangerous than the threat of an H5N1 pandemic itself." On March 27 the two sides reached a temporary compromise: Indonesia would resume sharing virus samples with the WHO, but for now that access wouldn't be extended to the drug industry...
...sharing government on May 8. At the center of the PSNI's makeover is a 2000 law: 50% of all new recruits must, like Fitzpatrick, have Roman Catholic roots. Today 20% of officers are Catholic, more than twice the share 10 years ago. By 2010, the force is on track to be 30% Catholic...

Qubah was largely secured not long after daybreak, with U.S. soldiers marking numbers on the necks of men and hands of women to keep track of residents during lockdown. Some 16 insurgents lay dead, but the bloodshed would continue through Sunday. The Apaches would kill 12 more suspected insurgents after some of them were seen triggering roadside bombs against a U.S. convoy. As dusk settled, another bomb exploded next to a parked humvee, killing four...
