...feel when people say you haven't done enough to root out al-Qaeda and the Taliban? This is a very, very unfair comment. We have done the maximum in the fight against terrorism. Almost 500 people have been apprehended by Pakistan. It is in Pakistan's interest to act against all al-Qaeda. We want to do it. Our forces want to do it. Is it possible for us to launch a military operation [to] sweep the whole [tribal] area? I'm afraid that is not within the capability of Pakistan or even of the U.S. forces...
Jamie Partida is facing the music. Like many of her fellow music fans across the country, the University of Michigan senior visits the file-sharing website Kazaa and occasionally downloads a few songs free. The sports-management major, 21, knows it's wrong. "It's unfair to the artist because you're not paying for it," she admits. But the price of CDs is such that she never considered quitting.

...RIAA subpoenas that will force schools to disclose student information belie a more fundamental flaw in the association’s method for eliminating file sharing. It is profoundly unfair to target and punish a small subset of the offending population, hoping to make examples of them and scare others away from file sharing. And even if this were justifiable, it is not an effective deterrent. When the initial announcement of the lawsuits against file sharers was made in June, user traffic on Kazaa, one of the most popular platforms for sharing music files, was lower for 10 hours...
