On Thursday evening, Denmark’s Queen Margrethe hosted a gala dinner for world leaders at the parliament building. On the sidelines of the event, the Chinese leader heard a rumor that the US government had scheduled an important round of negotiations without inviting him personally. Wen Jiabao was offended and withdrew to his hotel room, where, to the irritation of the other leaders, he remained for much of the remainder of the conference.
Instead, he sent his negotiator He Yafei to the nightly meeting of world leaders. Together, they asked the Danish host to reduce the maze of documents to a few, key pages. They still contained bold statements, such as the goal of a 50-percent reduction in global CO2 emissions by 2050 (compared with a 1990 benchmark). That kind of a commitment would have required that the United States, China and India also agree to cut their greenhouse gas emissions in half. At that point, Achim Steiner of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was still rejoicing over the potential agreement, saying: “This isn’t a train wreck. It really has teeth!”
With a success of this magnitude, the European leaders, especially Angela Merkel, would have been able to return home for the Christmas holidays with their heads held high. …Read More?
Two Israeli soldiers were charged in a military court yesterday with forcing a 10-year-old Palestinian boy in the Gaza Strip to handle objects they suspected of being rigged to explode.
The soldiers were indicted for “ordering the boy to open cases that they thought were explosives”, Major Dorit Toval, the prosecutor, said. The alleged crime took place during Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli military onslaught waged more than a year ago with the aim of halting Hamas rocket fire at southern Israel. A gag order was placed barring publication of the names of the soldiers.
An army spokesman said the incident took place while troops conducted sweeps of a building in Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood. No date was given for the incident. The soldiers were charged with exceeding their authority and behaviour unbecoming a soldier.
“There is no need to mention that this is a transgression that has no place within the ranks of the military,” Ms Toval added, in remarks broadcast on the state-run Voice of Israel radio. “There are clear rules also in regard to the waging of combat. In operational situations, soldiers must safeguard [these rules] during every campaign.”
Colonel Ilan Katz, the lawyer defending the two soldiers, termed the charges “hallucinatory and contrived”. “It would have been better if this [indictment] had not been submitted,” he added. Col Katz warned that a conviction of the soldiers could deter young people from serving in combat units in the future.
But Yehuda Shaul, an activist in the dissident soldiers’ group Breaking the Silence, which gathers testimonies from soldiers, said, “The use of human shields in Operation Cast Lead was not so exceptional. By prosecuting two low-ranking soldiers, the military is trying to shift the discussion away from the big policies that came from high up in Cast Lead and which were wrong: permissive rules of engagement or mass destruction of property that had nothing to do with protecting our troops,” Mr Shaul added. …Read More?
One of My Personal Favorites! Fucking Bad Ass!
PRINCETON, NJ — Gallup’s underemployment measure hit 20.0% on March 15 — up from 19.7% two weeks earlier and 19.5% at the start of the year. Gallup Daily tracking makes it possible to monitor the underemployment rate throughout the month, rather than just once per month, making it the best and most timely way to measure the U.S. jobs situation.
The findings underscore why Americans say the most important problem facing the nation today is jobs and unemployment. Gallup’s underemployment measure is based on more than 20,000 phone interviews collected over a 30-day period and reported daily. Gallup’s results are not seasonally adjusted and tend to be a precursor of government reports by approximately two weeks. (Read More)?
