...still traumatized," he says. "They cannot just enter a house at night unless they see the suspect run in." He warns that if such raids continue "in breach of human rights, they will lose the support of the people." The clumsy offer of compensation did little to ease his anger. "I did not accept the money," he says...
...arms sales to Rangoon. China could be persuaded to go along. Beijing has already cut off non-humanitarian aid to other rogue nations like Zimbabwe.

...threat that voters will use the nationwide municipal poll to rebuke their President. Should that happen, candidates considered Sarkozy intimates - including Justice Minister Rachida Dati, and Secretary of State for Human Rights Rama Yade - are at risk. But perhaps no one loomed larger as a target for anti-Sarkozy anger than Martinon. For that reason, the President must think carefully about appointing the person most frequently cited to replace Martinon as candidate in Neuilly: Jean Sarkozy...
