Representatives of the Sadrist movement in Baghdad have complained that their members are being targeted in the operation for political reasons. But the government says its arrests are unbiased and are warranted by criminal activity. The extent to which either claim is accurate is difficult to determine. But regardless of the reason, one thing is clear among Amara's newly fortified police force: the Mahdi Army is being hunted...
...Some kathoeys say they don't need specially designated bathrooms, arguing they should be able to use either male or female toilets. Others would rather have educational funds go to combating the stereotype that the only jobs kathoeys can expect to excel in are in the beauty or entertainment - read sex - industries. Certainly, career prejudice is a lingering problem: one Thai teachers' college, for instance, refuses to enroll kathoeys.

...Either way, few believe the FARC could ever topple the government today. And for many, it's getting harder to believe that the government won't eventually defeat the FARC, a 44-year-old insurgency. But it still has thousands of armed fighters, a war chest of hundreds of millions of dollars and a triple-canopy rain forest to hide in. Despite the heavy blows it's taken in recent years, the rebels continue to dominate regions like the Cordillera Occidental, where teachers, farm laborers, health workers and even locals who have spent more than a year outside the area...
