Olmert no doubt wishes he had more seats too. Kadima's victory shows that a plurality of Israelis are apparently ready to sacrifice the ancient dream of a Greater Israel--stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River--for peace with a Palestinian state. But with his party far from a Knesset majority, Olmert will need other parties to back his plan for "disengagement" with the Palestinians--pulling out some Jewish settlements on the West Bank and creating permanent borders...

Execution videos, swords and instruments of torture were found by soldiers in what were deemed to be killing rooms...
...Area, Aagaard's simulation takes the form of a spreading blob of mixed colors that indicate shaking intensities, from low-intensity blue to medium-intensity yellow and high-intensity red. Then Aagaard calls up 1906. The difference is immediately apparent. This time red flows across the landscape like a river of lava, and among the places that glow the brightest is the area around Santa Rosa, just as the ShakeMap says it should...
