Did the CIA & RAW create the Uighur riots in China? - (USA)
The riots in Tehran had hardly died down, when the the spark for riots in Uighurs gave people the reason to come out in the streets of Urumqi and protest. Alama Iqbal mentioned Kashgar in his poetry. The bearded man in the picture is in Kashgar. This is again very similar to the instant spark at the Tienemin Square, and the Tibet rioting right before the Olympics. Surely, if there is any CIA involvement in this mess, Chinese US relations will take a nose dive. The CIA ops are very clever. They p

Some Pretties - (USA)
Last Saturday (the day before Easter), my friend Jan and I went to my favorite sort-of farm market, Horrock's for a pre-Easter shopping extravaganza. Horrock's isn't a pure farm market in the everything-is-local sense (although I do see the trucks come in from regional growers). But you'll also find the fruits and veggies from out of town (sometimes out of country), products they make there (fabulous salsa), basil with the roots still on, typical grocery products (including many interesting

Sri Lanka - Time for International public protests - (USA)
Brian SenewiratneMA(Camb), MD(Lond), FRCP(Lond), FRACPBrisbane, AustraliaIt is time for the expatriate Tamil community and those, such as myself, non-Tamils, who support the cause of the Tamil people, to get on to the streets all over the world, and protest. Not in some obscure park, but out in the streets, in busy shopping malls, and the like. Objective? To be seen, so that people will ask, “What is it all about?” Tell them, or give them a dvd (see below).On September 10th 2008, the Sri Lankan

Floatin' Powa News Service: A Confederacy of Inconvenient Americans ~ - (USA)
Daniel Pearl's Beheader in Pakistani Custody : In a major catch, Pakistani authorities today nabbed a top militant suspected of beheading the Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002. Rao Shakir, a suspected member of banned Sunni militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, was arrested from Bhara Kahu on the outskirts of the federal capital late last night, police said.

It's not about a bumbling policeman - (USA)
SO 12 Pakistani Muslims, living in Britain, have been arrested. It seems that they were planning another terrorist atrocity on the scale of the London tube bombing, so their detention could well have saved the lives of many British people. Yet there is little celebration of this in the media this morning. Radio 4's Today progamme was only interested in criticising our counter-terrorist police for apparently arresting the men too soon. Presenter James Naughtie was so wrapped up in his critic

Murray slams $850M NGPC drug contracts - (USA)
Three contracts totalling US$4.2M ($850M) awarded to the New Guyana Pharmaceutical Company Inc (New GPC) for the supply of drugs for the health ministry have been flagged as the latest awards to the supplier which evade the tendering process. Winston Murray Cabinet gave its “no objection” for the award of the contracts between last December and May this year, but according to PNCR-1G MP Winston Murray it is arrogating to itself authority it does not have by waiving the tender process, w

Urumqi Riots: Behind the anger against the Chinese in the Xinjiang - (USA)
By B RAMANwww.southasiaanalysis.org and the Chennai Centre For China Studies atwww.c3sindia.orgThe anger against the Chinese in the Xinjiang province has two dimensions ---ethnic and religious.2.The ethnic dimension is due to the Han colonisation of the province, which was independent before 1949 under the name Eastern Turkestan. Since it was occupied by the Chinese and incorporated into the People's Republic of China in October 1949, the Han colonisation has reduced the percentage of Uighurs

Downtown Central-Cities as Hubs of Civic Connection - (USA)
There's been a torrent of spirited banter lately about the reemergence of downtown central-cities. Much of this raucous debate is between advocates of urban revitalization, who offer an assortment of anti-sprawl messages as justification for this movement, and those who see suburban growth options as essential to quality of life in America. Adding to the fray are environmentalists who see housing density and alternative forms of transportation as the panacea for confronting our carbon-choked wor
