...Tehran; it had been confined to a single base outside Baghdad and was monitored by the U.S. Nobody had accused the Mujahedin-e-Khalq of any atrocities on Iraqi soil, and al-Maliki's decision to evict the group smacked of tokenism. Sunni politicians seized on the eviction as proof that al-Maliki was doing Tehran's bidding...

...Sunnis, the failure to smash the Mahdi Army is not so much an indictment of al-Maliki as proof of a U.S. double standard. Salam al-Zaubai, a Sunni and one of al-Maliki's two Deputy Prime Ministers, complains that U.S. forces treat the militias with kid gloves.

...spine-tingling fun. But was any of it real? A handful of scientists and scholars brave enough to risk their reputation entered the field to find out.

But as the fighting escalates beyond what Olmert's government once imagined, the odds against him have grown. If the battle ends with less than a demonstrable victory for Israel--an outcome he has insisted is unsatisfactory--then Hizballah and its backers...

...already launched six lines for both men and women, priced from around $80: "Nike +" versions of existing shoe lines, with a hollow pocket for the pebble. The company plans to have more lines by the holidays, along with a selection of running clothes with built-in weather- and sweat-proof nano holsters. The nano itself costs between $149 to $249. If you don't own a nano, you could easily set yourself back around $300 for the whole system. Perhaps it takes this sort of financial investment, instead of a series of hollow promises, to get yourself onto the road...
