Tropical Storm Alpha forms, breaks Atlantic storm record

October 22, 2005 Tropical Storm Alpha formed Saturday in the Caribbean to break the record for most tropical storms in an ever, making it the 22nd storm of the year. It is also the first storm to be named with a letter of the Greek alphabet. Wilma exhausted the English alphabetic list as the 21st named storm; the letters Q, U, X, Y and Z are skipped when naming storms.

Currently, the storm has sustained winds of 40mph, which is only 1mph over the threshold for a tropical storm. It is centered about 70 miles south of, Dominican Republic. A tropical storm warning has been issued for Haiti and portions of the Dominican Republic.

According to scientists, since 1995 an increase in hurricane activity has been due to a rise in ocean temperatures and decrease of wind shear that rip apart hurricanes.

The prior record has stood since the. However the season does not end till November 30, leaving room for more storms to form and shatter the record. Scientists have noted that the number of very strong hurricanes is likely to increase further in future years as the effects of global warming increase. Researcher Dr Peter Webster stated that "What I think we can say is that the increase in (hurricane) intensity is probably accounted for by the increase in sea-surface temperature, and I think probably the sea-surface temperature increase is a manifestation of global warming."

Grand Jury investigation of Plame leak nears end

October 24, 2005

The two year investigation involving the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's secret identity seems to be coming to an end.

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's grand jury, which has been investigating the "outing" of Plame's secret status to columnist Robert Novak and other reporters, concludes its work on October 29. The U.S. Department of Justice has established a web site for the purpose of making any communication public. However, Fitzgerald's office will not comment on the timing of any indictments which may be filed.

Many individuals inside and outside the White House have apparently been interogated. Two high level White House Chiefs of Staff, Karl Rove to President George W. Bush, and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby to Vice-President Dick Cheney, are part of the focus of the investigation. Both Rove and Libby testified before the grand jury; Rove 4 times, and Libby at least twice. Rove and Libby have been informed that they may be in serious legal trouble.

According to legal sources, Fitzgerald will give final notice to officials facing charges as early as Monday and could convene the grand jury Tuesday, one day earlier than usual, to summarize the case and request approval for possible indictments. The grand jury is scheduled to expire Friday.

Bush administration critics suggest the outing of the CIA operative Plame was an effort by the administration to prop up the credibility of pre-war claims that Iraq possessed WMD. The Bush administration has responded that the charge lacks any credibility.

Valerie Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, was a former diplomat to Niger who went public in July 2003 with an Op-Ed column that called evidence linking Niger uranium to Iraq bogus. The Wilson column was written after the President Bush 2003 state of the union address alleging that Iraq sought to purchase uranium from Niger.

There is a report somewhere that a CIA person mentioned that an operative died as of the result of the plame leak. Not sure how NPOV that is to add though. http://www.seeingtheforest.com/archives/2005/07/was_cia_agent_e.htm

 * lots of non-pov info re; above CIA front company that was exposed "Brewster Jennings & Associates" Neutralizer 19:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

What is controversial?
Worked on this article all day. Specifically what is not neutral? --Psusen 22:14, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

NPOV
Article will be a good base, however there is currently very little content but considerable speculation. Wikinews does not speculate; it reports. Please read through NPOV, especially the section "writing for the enemy", and What Wikinews is not.

Examples of speculation or opinion:

 * The new U.S. Department of Justice web site is seen as a precursor to an announcement on the findings by Fitzgerald.
 * Ascribe who sees the website as a precursor to an announcement.
 * However, his office will not comment on the timing of any indictments which may be filed.
 * Do not attempt to report on events which have not happened. There are no indictments, therefore nothing to report, unless there is a specific quote from someone to repeat, and ascribe, here.
 * Two White House Chiefs of Staff, Karl Rove to President Bush, and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby to Vice-President Cheney are part of the focus of the investigation.
 * Other persons have been far more scrutinized by this Grand Jury. The choice of these two subjects strongly indicates bias on the part of the reporters.
 * Bush administration critics suggest the outing of the CIA operative Plame was an effort by the administration to prop up the credibility of pre-war intelligence that Iraq possessed WMD and was a threat to security both in the United States and abroad.
 * No counter-balance of the opposing view.
 * The Wilson column was written as a reaction to the President Bush 2003 state of the union address alleging that Iraq sought to purchase uranium from Niger, a part of the rationale for going to war. The "leak" sought to cast Wilson as a tainted source of intelligence, because his wife was in a position at the CIA to influence the decision that sent him to Niger.
 * Ascribing motive to actions by Mr. Wilson and the alleged leakers. While possibly entirely true, these are opinions - not facts. If you can find someone who states these as their personal opinions, or the opinion of their organization, you may ascribe these opinions to someone at which point they may be reported.
 * The issue of government nepotism...
 * This is slanderous, until proven in a court of law, and would also qualify as defamation of character.
 * It is possible that Fitzgerald will not bring any indictments against Rove, Libby or any other White House officials.
 * This statement is biased as it does not address the many other people who are more likely to be charged with crimes by this grand jury. It is also speculation because no charges have been brought. Confine reporting to actual facts, not speculation.
 * The emphasis in the story would then shift to whether the Bush administration intentionally created false pretenses for the war, as well as the possible role Judith Miller may have played, intentionally or otherwise, in this strategy.
 * ''It is also possible Fitzgerald will file one or more indictments against Rove, Libby and/or other White House officials. Criminal indictments might include violations of laws protecting classified information, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury. In this case, the focus would also shift to President Bush and Vice-President Cheney, and their knowledge of the crime, what they did, and when. The Bush administration is considering contingency plans as to what to do with Rove and Libby and possible replacements.
 * Purely speculative, unless there is a direct quote. This is not reporting, it is op/ed, and that is not accepted on Wikinews. See What Wikinews is not.

I appreciate the effort which has been put into this article, and it is an excellent news topic. But in it's current state it is not within the guidelines of Wikinews, and is in violation of the Neutral Point of View policy. - Amgine / talk 22:18, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Dang nabbit!! LOL, rufflng for story on that ice cream vendor. -Edbrown05 22:26, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

response to npov
I responded to every one of the npov concerns. Under Wikinews policy, who is qualified to remove the npov and change develop to publish? Thanks. --Psusen 23:16, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You are! Of course, if someone disagrees with the removal of the tag, they can replace it. No one has especial editorial powers on Wikinews. We're all equals when it comes to article content (though, of course, some people know more about certain topics than others and I usually defer to them if I am aware of their expertise). --Chiacomo (talk) 23:37, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Excellent job, though some good prose has fallen to the axe. There is one you missed, or which I was not very clear about:

 * Bush administration critics suggest the outing of the CIA operative Plame was an effort by the administration to prop up the credibility of pre-war intelligence that Iraq possessed WMD and was a threat to security both in the United States and abroad. The Bush administration has responded that the charge lacks any credibility

 * This statement doesn't say who is saying this. But at least as tellingly, you do not rebutt the anonymous and unsupported accusations of critics with equally anonymous and insuperable supports. - Amgine / talk 23:40, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

removed npov
The article is as neutral as possible in my judgment. I added the infobox and changed develop to publish. I plan to watch the story this week carefully and will start another story as events unfold. --Psusen 23:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Leaked poll finds 45% of Iraqis support suicide bombers who attack allied forces

October 23, 2005

A poll conducted by an Iraqi university research team on behalf of the British government and reported by British newspapers showed that 45% of Iraqis support suicide bombers who attack coalition troops in Iraq. In some areas this rises to 65%.

Other results of the poll include:

 * 82% of Iraqis are "strongly opposed" to the presence of coalition troops
 * Less than 1% of the population feel that coalition troops have brought any improvement in the country
 * 67% feel less secure because of the occupation

Many Iraqis resent the damage that has been done to their country by the invading forces. Many believe their country has seen a decrease in standard of living, in freedom of movement and in safety and security. Many Iraqis hope that if the coalition forces can be encouraged to leave, the country can return to normal.

The survey contrasts with statements made by UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that there was widespread support for the invasion of Iraq, and that the occupying powers were improving human rights in the country.

UK politician Sir Menzies Campbell said "Such findings are yet another argument in favour of a comprehensive exit strategy". It is not clear what would happen to the many US companies operating in Iraq if the coalition troops were forced out. It seems unlikely that they would retain hold of oil production assets or keep a major role in construction projects, and it is not clear that the US would have benefitted in any way from its incursion into the country.

The poll was "undertaken for the Ministry of Defence and seen by The Sunday Telegraph" in the United Kingdom.

Talk:Leaked poll finds 45% of Iraqis support suicide bombers who attack allied forces

Great story
good work. Neutralizer 16:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Great Article
I'm glad to see this has received some space. It's just a shame the BBC thinks Joan Rivers is a more worthy front page subject.

Comments
Some possible changes. I think these can be done "in vivo" since they aren't serious.

1. Soften the tone a bit. A lot of readers may find the article a bit harsh. It's not a serious NPOV thing, just a style issue.

2. Should the title be "poll finds"? Not a big issue - it wasn't ambiguous.

3. Any good quotes?

4. A couple of articles that back up the uncited claim that Iraq has worse standard of living:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancet_study http://www.iraqbodycount.net/

5. A bit off topic, but interesting. May have a place in the article.

It argues that most suicide bombers are driven by public opion. It is not a flakey article either. It actually has a bit of content. http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/299/5612/1534

Wisty 05:51, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

5. I chopped this: "Iraqis are angered by the damage done to their country by the invading forces, and the decrease in standard of living, in freedom of movement and in safety and security which it has brought. Many Iraqis hope that if the coalition forces can be encouraged to leave, the country can return to normal."

It's not all NPOV. I'm putting bits back.

OK: "Many Iraqis resent the damage that has been done to their country by the invading forces. Many Iraqis believe Iraq has seen a decrease in standard of living, in freedom of movement and in safety and security. Many Iraqis hope that if the coalition forces can be encouraged to leave, the country can return to normal."

It's weasly, but that's the best I can do.

6. "The survey with statements made by UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that there was widespread support for the invasion of Iraq, and that the occupying powers were improving human rights in the country."

"contradicts" changed to "contrasts" - Straw and Rice weren't saying what the Iraqis think.

Wisty 06:22, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Methodology?
If you fail to discuss the methodology of the poll then you are just providing a piece of propaganda.

 * Like the US election? Nah, good idea Wisty 06:04, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The poll was leaked. So the methodology is probably still hidden. Wisty 06:07, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what the obtuse comment about the US election is about, but if the methodology and apparently the source of the poll is not transparent then how can you have a headline proclaiming a figure from it? Don't mistake me: I don't doubt the numbers in context. Really? How many Iraqi women were polled and how many do you think gave honest answers? I have an immediate family member in Iraq as we speak. This weekend he spent in the Kurdish north and based on the tales of their hospitality I think he would disagree with the poll. Now move to Al-Sadr's neighbourhood and you'll get a different number. But, if you just want to run another 'Iraq is a failure' piece think carefully about who you really are hurting -- when the islamo-fascists get control the first people they'll round up are the leftists, the socialists, the marxists, the feminists, the liberals, and on and on... written by 69.23.220.138

Read it: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/299/5612/1534 It's a worry. The puch line is that if a lot of Iraqis support suicide bombers, then the suicide bombing will continue. Which is bad.

So on one hand it may not be responsible to publish this.

On the other hand, I'd say that most potential suicide bombers in Iraq already know that they have support. Maybe it means that the occupation forces need to spend more effort in "winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people". Or maybe the elected government will make things better.

Anyway, I didn't write the article, I'm trying to make it sound less like a slap in the face. And thanks for the comment. Feel free to add any more. Wisty 06:52, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The information is from a study commissioned by the U.K. military, commissioned from a Univerisity in Iraq. It is part of an ongoing, continuous polling process, according to a military spokesperson. It was reported as being a national study, which in the context would undoubtedly include samples from all major regions and population centres.

 * Beyond that the specifics of the methodology of data gathering and the survey instrument are not known. On the other hand, the statistics presented are the simplest and most robust prevalences. The numbers cited are so clear an indicator of public opinion there is simply no point in arguing with them.

 * Can conclusions be drawn from what we know? yes, but not about Iraq. Three things leap to mind: the US forces and their allies are able to pay for Universities to do population studies (indicating a level of social infrastructure); UK government feels population research on public opinions in Iraq should be classified; persons within the government or military feel the information should not be classified, and have risked their careers and more to leak it. - Amgine / talk 06:46, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

BBC Coverage
The BBC have absolutely buried the story deep within their political page. Perhaps we would be better served if it was put on the front page in place of "Lord Lichfield gives a masterclass in portrait photography ".

It's true that we don't know the methodology so we should be cautious. Polls should be treated most scrutinously when they deliver results that benifit the people who comissioned them. In this case the results have gone in the opposite direction.

Poll "claims" or "finds"
Are we going to be saying " a new Gallop poll "claims"? in the future? If it's a poll, should not the word be "finds"?. Neutralizer 12:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I will correct the title; if anyone wants to stay with "claims", please change it back. Neutralizer 13:05, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Changed my mind; but I still think it should be "finds". Neutralizer 13:15, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. "Claims" sounds like we're whitewashing the poll's results. - Apollyon 13:51, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I think this should be "finds" too. One other detail is can % be used in a title instead of "percent"?  I know a $ in a title is a no-no, but are there other special characters that cause problems? Brianmc 14:31, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I said "claims". It's not really correct, but neither is "finds". It's a poll. Polls are always a bit inaccurate. But if you say it's a poll, then "finds" is probably closer. Wisty 03:00, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Where are the big polling companies?
Why aren't they doing,reporting more polls from Iraq? Neutralizer 13:15, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

82% "strongly opposed" to occupation
Excellent story. Especially surprising (even more surprising than the large minority in favour of suicide attacks) and interesting finding, to my mind, is that 82% of Iraqis "strongly oppose" the occupation. I'm wondering if it might be appropriate to mention this fact in the title? Rcameronw 21:09, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Bias
A "biased" poll... the first sentence is riddled with POV comments. Why is the poll biased? The "liberal" newspapers the poll was reported in seems to me more like a footnote than something in the introductory sentence. Perhaps the liberal newspapers seized the results of the poll because they supported their case, not that the poll was skewed on purpose to be run in liberal papers. 128.227.103.161 14:14, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

My conservative opinion
I believe we (america) should demand a referendum. Should we stay, or should we leave immediately? If >50% say leave immediately, that's exactly what we should do. I predict things would mostly fall apart, but I doubt a full blown civil war would occur. I think many contractors would pull out, and America would withdrawl our funds earmarked for construction projects. I believe the Iraqi's would eventually reflect upon this decision, and history would learn an important lesson. If the Iraqi's don't want us there, let's leave. Let the Mehdi army, and other millitias sieze control, allow democracy to fail, and allow the Iraqis to say "we never thought things could get so much worse. Please come back in America". Now, before each of you laugh at that last statement, consider that towards the end of the first gulf war, representatives from some of the southern Iraqi cities came out to the coalition forces in the desert, and asked them to come into the city and get rid of Saddam and his army. Such as thing has happened before.

Allow the Iraqi's pride to be their downfall, and for democracy and freedom to fail. Let us respect the will of the people. After all, we can't take down Iran while we are busy in Iraq.

Florida Governor Jeb Bush gives speech on Hurricane Wilma

October 23, 2005

At 1 p.m. EDT, Florida governor Jeb Bush, as well as others, held a press conference relating to the preparedness of the upcoming Hurricane Wilma. "There is no cause for a New Orleans-like concern," says Governor Bush. He also says that this category 2 hurricane will affect southern Florida, including Lake Okeechobee. Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, and New York are helping Florida prepare. Mandatory and voluntary evacuations, he says, are currently underway.

For those who are unable to evacuate, shelters are to open up. There are 23 shelters opened at the moment, and more shelters, including shelters for the elderly, will open. The pets of Floridians also will be able to stay at a pet shelter. Over 80,000 MREs, as well as 200 truckloads of ice, are available for those who must take up shelter. This does not include the aid that will come from FEMA, which is expected to double the amount made available by Florida.

As of 10 a.m., over 200 million gallons of fuel, particularly gasoline and diesel, were at Florida ports. These ports are either to be closed, or currently closed at the moment. In addition, tolls for Florida turnpikes were suspended, and traffic is current flowing smoothly. However, as it was said by Director of Florida Emergency Management Craig Fullgate, "You need to pay attention to your local officials."

Russian fighter crash in Lithuania: investigation concludes

October 23, 2005

==== Russian fighter Su-27 crashed near the city of Kaunas, Lithuania, thus violating Lithuanian-NATO airspace. After an enquiry, the pilot was eventually released. Lithuania may have obtained the secret "friend-or-foe" enemy recognition system. The last time in happened, it cost Russia billions of dollars to reprogram its airforce recognition systems. ====

The fighter was one of five that were given permission to fly from Russia to its heavily militarized province of Kaliningrad/Karaliaucius/Koenigsberg, separated from the mainland by the territories of Lithuania and Poland. The last plane, piloted by Valery Troyanov, separated and promptly crashed near the city of Kaunas. The pilot ejected and wasn't hurt. German NATO planes that were securing the Baltic airspace were too late to take off because of the Lithuanian radar failures.

Immediately, Russia started a propaganda campaign. It denied the presence of weapons on the plane, however, four rockets and a chaingun have been found, as well as some radioactive materials. Also, Russia pushed for the formation of a joint investigation commission with Lithuania.

Lithuania, meanwhile, stayed true to its traditions of freedom and sovereignty, offering Mr. Tryanov a health test, inviting Russian observers, holding the pilot under house arest at a hotel, inviting the wife to join her husband, cooperating with NATO and Ukrainian specialists, and firing the chief of its airforce for (unwittingly?) giving away classified information to the Russians.

Russian media, which is entirely state-controlled, focused on the rhetoric of Russian military and the foreign ministry, ignoring a declaration of Mr. Troyanov and his wife where they expressed being satisfied with the handling of the case by the Lithuanian government, and proclaiming that Lithuania haven't tested Mr. Troyanov's health. Russia also gave wrong technical data on the airplane involved.

The commission concluded that the accident was not a provocation, and the pilot was released. However, judging from the elaborately planned propaganda campaign, the commission might have preferred to make a decission favourable to good interstate relations. The pilot (who was flying an important international mission) has been proven to be incompetent. Currently, in the cash-strapped Russian army, pilots, such as major Mr. Troyanov, fly only several hours a year - about 15 times less than NATO pilots.

Russia plans to award Mr. Troyanov a medal and send him on a tour of schools to teach the subject of patriotism. Lithuania has demanded a compensation of 3000 euros for the farmer in whose field the plane crashed.

NATO, the European Union and international mainstream media stayed almost completely silent about this accident. IndyMedia.org, meanwhile, refused to publish this article on unknown grounds. Russia violates the airspaces of its Baltic neighbours at an average rate of 6 times a year. Russia has never admitted any violations. Lithuania (occupied by Russia 1795-1918 and 1940-1990), along with other Baltic countries, have no modern fighter planes of their own, hence their airspace ir protected by their NATO alies. Since 2004, they are NATO and EU members, along with Poland.

Kaczynski elected as the new president of Poland, according to polls

October 23, 2005

Lech Kaczyński has been elected as the new president of the Republic of Poland, according to first polls. He gained about 53,7% of votes, while his rival, gained 46,3% in the run-off Polish presidential election.

In the first turn Kaczyński from Law and Justice party gained about 34% of votes, while his main rival attracted about 37% of polish society.

Kaczyński, nicknamed "the duck", will replace, who was ineligible to be elected again, as he was the president of Poland for ten years.

Kaczyński, 56-year-old lawyer and mayor of, would like to build up the next Republic of Poland, called "Czwarta Rzeczpospolita" (4th Republic of Poland). Many people in Poland believe that Kaczyński, alongside his twin brother Jarosław, will try to throw out corruption and dishonesty from Polish politics.

Pre-election polls had predicted that pro-business Donald Tusk, the leader of conservative-liberal party Citizens Platform, would win the election.

Talk:Russian fighter crash in Lithuania: investigation concludes

I dont know where to start: the text in bold letters is too long, the story is POV, it was published without time for review...

The data in the article is newsworthy and could make for a nice article.... but not in its current form *back to "developing"* --82.141.53.251 20:42, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

The POV on this article is ridiculous. It reads like pro-Lithuanian propaganda. Furthermore, there are no sources whatsoever. Has anyone seen a story on this anywhere else? Joshua Nicholson 21:21, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Please see some sources and opinions which I believe are more honest and better researched than the Russian propaganda you see on the BBC (to cover all of Eastern Europe from their Moscow bureau - doesn't seem strange?). http://www.jamestown.org/authors_details.php?author_id=105 or straight to one of the stories on this issue. Also, try Google News (and see how much there is of Russian propaganda, and how different it is from the opinion of all of Eastern Europe - silent, because expressed in native languages:)) Please don't see it as a romantic struggle between American capitalism and Cuba, or Venezuela. Russia is an entirely different animal. It's about time hearing the voice of the small (even though being pro-American is unfashionable - in the West). Šarūnas

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called B1oody8romance7. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name B1oody8romance7~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Haruki, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Haruki. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Haruki~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!--Cspurrier 21:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
