Not an Emergency
Mon, 12 May 2008 03:01:44 PDT
Not an Emergency 6:00 am | from Post | @ washingtonpost.com - Editorials | World News FIVE YEARS into paying for two wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's outrageous that so much of the financing continues to be approved outside the normal budget process, through "emergency" spending bills that must be passed, must be passed in a hurry and therefore must risk ending up as vehicles for other initiatives. Some of these are worthy, but they hardly count as "emergencies" that should be exempt fro
Narrow-mindedness and discrimination
Mon, 12 May 2008 03:01:44 PDT
Narrow-mindedness and discrimination 1:20 am | from Haaretz.com - Opinion | | World News It seems that the last thing the legal system needs right now is another condemnation, in addition to all the blows the system is absorbing thanks to those responsible for its welfare, like the justice minister. Nonetheless, it unfortunately sometimes turns out that there simply is no choice, and despite the justified concern for the dignity of the court, it is necessary to protest the statements and ap
Mr. Suspect’s government
Mon, 12 May 2008 03:01:44 PDT
Mr. Suspect’s government 1:19 am | from Haaretz.com - Opinion | | World News Zach Chen, a captain (res.) in the Military Advocate General's Office, is very busy this week. The Israel Defense Forces asked for his legal-operational advice in an exercise for one of its divisions, a unit whose best-known commander was Ariel Sharon. Military lawyers give guidance to commanders so that they avoid doing anything that violates the rules of war. Only after he finishes his army duties will he be free
Bush should stay home
Mon, 12 May 2008 03:01:44 PDT
Bush should stay home 1:16 am | from Haaretz.com - Opinion | | World News If George Bush were a true friend of Israel, he would seize the investigation against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as an excuse to stay home tomorrow. Unless he has a rabbit in his hat, this will be the third time in the past half year that the U.S. president shows the Palestinians and the entire Arab world that they are wasting their time by trying to end the occupation by peaceful means. Not only have matters not impr
Bypassing the factions
Mon, 12 May 2008 03:01:44 PDT
Bypassing the factions 1:14 am | from Haaretz.com - Opinion | | World News Hezbollah's show of strength in Lebanon, its continuing clashes around Mount Lebanon and the fact that it has brought its country to the brink of civil war can no longer be considered just "an internal Lebanese matter," as Syria likes to claim. Even though Lebanon's government uses harsh rhetoric against Hezbollah, terming its actions a coup and even ordering the army to take steps to impose order, there is no choice
Cancel the primaries
Mon, 12 May 2008 03:01:44 PDT
Cancel the primaries 1:22 am | from Haaretz.com - Opinion | | World News Even if it is still unknown at this point whether Ehud Olmert committed any crime by allegedly receiving money from businessman Morris Talansky, one thing is clear: the need for candidates in Israeli party primaries to raise massive amounts of money requires them to seek connections to the very wealthy, and this casts a heavy shadow on their public integrity. To preserve Israel's democracy, the primary system must be a
Remembering Shelton Lea
Mon, 12 May 2008 03:01:46 PDT
My review of Diana Georgeff’s Delinquent Angel, a biography of Melbourne poet and raconteur Shelton Lea, has been published in the latest issue of Overland (#190). Interestingly, the editors have decided to put most (if not all) of the contents of the issue online, so you can now read the review in its entirety! Here’s a brief snippet: What emerges is the peculiar tension provided by Shelton Lea the renegade poet: a man of the street, but also someone raised in an upper class family in Toorak
