U.S. names German bases to close

July 30, 2005

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has announced that eleven bases in Bavaria are to close by 2007, with two further bases being handed over later. The closures are the first step that will see 50,000 troops withdrawn from Europe and South Korea. The U.S. has 181,061 troops stationed in Western Europe and the Far East. NATO has been present in Germany since the end of World War II and its presence played an important role in the Cold War, when Germany was split into West Germany and East Germany.

The U.S. and U.K. are the only remaining powers that maintain large forces in the country. The U.S. presently has 75,603 personnel in southern Germany while the British have some 55,000 personnel based in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony as part of British Forces Germany.

It is planned that the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division will move back to the U.S. in 2006. Some units of V Corps and the U.S. Army Europe will also be returned. It is estimated that the move will affect 6,100 soldiers, 11,000 family members, 1,000 Department of the Army civilians and 1,000 locally employed civilians.

The DoD said in its statement that: "These changes are part of the Department of Defense’s overall plan (the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy) to transform the military to increase strategic responsiveness and flexibility in the face of current and anticipated future threats, and are the result of extensive consultation with our German allies."

July 30, 2005

It has been confirmed by a British consulate spokeswoman in Iraq that an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack on a British consulate convoy took place at 09:30 am local time.

The attack happened on the outskirts of Basra and is reported to have killed two British security contractors and wounded two Iraqi civilians.

The two British contractors were killed in the first blast that took place in close proximity to the vehicle they were in. According to the BBC World Affairs correspondent John Simpson, two Iraqi children were injured after a second explosion occurred while Iraqi civilians were attempting to help the convoy.

The nationality the two contractors was confirmed by their employers, Control Risks Group. At least one car was destroyed and British Army soldiers later arrived to secure the scene.

Talk:U.S. names German bases to close

2065 date for closing U.S. bases in Iraq?
We kept our bases in Germany for 60 years; so why the hell not Iraq? Besides, our companies and "private contractors" may need our protection. Paulrevere2005 13:57, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Third union separates from AFL-CIO

July 30, 2005

The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union broke away from the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), making it the third union to split from the AFL-CIO this week over disagreements about how to revive labor's diminishing influence.

The departure of the UFCW, along with two other unions, theTeamsters, and Service Employees International unions from the AFL-CIO means it is losing more than 4 million of its 13 million members.

Union membership in the U.S. has been declining for many years, and the breakaway unions want to commit more money to recruiting members. They complain that the AFL-CIO has spent too much money on backing political candidates, particularly Democrats, instead of organizing labor.

UFCW President Joe Hansen wrote to AFL-CIO President John J. Sweeney saying: "Tradition and past success are not sufficient to meet the new challenges."

AFL-CIO spokeswoman Lane Windham responded, saying "The UFCW leadership decision to leave the AFL-CIO, especially when working people are up against the most powerful, anti-worker corporate and governmental forces in 80 years, is a tragedy for working families. Only unions' enemies win when unions split our strength."

"The unions that split from the AFL-CIO now face the challenge of having to work together to maximize the power of labor," predicted Harley Shaiken, a professor of labor issues at UC Berkley.

Their clearest difference is in how they want a national labor organization to operate, Shaiken said. The breakaway unions favor a more authoritative federation that can compel member unions to act on its directives.

The departure is part of the biggest rift in organized labor since 1938, when the CIO split from the AFL.

When the groups merged to form the AFL-CIO in the 1950s, one of every three private-sector workers belonged to a labor union. Today, fewer than 8 percent of private-sector workers are unionized.

Libya allows US oil company to return

July 30, 2005

Libya gave US-based Occidental Petroleum Corporation permission to resume business there for the first time in 19 years.

The company abandoned operations in the mid 1980's due to sanctions imposed on Libya by the United States.

The sanctions, enforced by Ronald Reagan's administration in 1986, were in response to Libya's backing of terrorist activities. The sanctions were lifted in 2004, giving the US companies opportunity to return.

Occidental is the first US oil company to resume operations in Libya. Daily output from their wells is expected to be 12,000 - 15,000 barrels per day.

Cyclist crosses Canada in 30 days for orphans

July 29, 2005

Beginning May 28, 2005, ultra-marathon cyclist Arvid Loewen cycled 7,000 km in 30 days across Canada raising money and awareness for an orphanage, MCF, in Kenya. Cycling 240 km a day, Arvid began in White Rock, British Columbia, and finished on June 26 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

MCF, or Mully Children's Family, was founded by Charles Mulli, a man who was abandoned on the streets in Kenya at the age of six. He fought through life on the streets and subsequently became wealthy. He sold all his wealth and businesses and began an orphanage in his own home. That orphanage is now home to over 800 children.

Loewen, 48, cycled 12-14 hours a day, pushing through just about every weather possible. His biggest challenge to date has raised close to $100,000 (CA) and will hopefully continue. Riding on the back of his specially modified tandem bicycle was a rotating group of three Kenyan orphans, just 3 of the many whose lives have been changed. They took turns being pulled across the country by Loewen.

For more information and to donate to the cause, see the ride's official site, www.spoke2005.com

Tasks
Hi,

thanks for your ideas. Please do edit Development tasks freely. It would also be nice if you could make it to the research meeting today at 16:00 UTC on irc.freenode.net.

Some comments:

Basic scripting in templates (if/else logic is all that is needed)

See 1689 and 364 for some existing code and discussions, as well as Extended template syntax. This includes if/else logic. Brion believes that templates should be kept as simple as possible, and has not been very enthusiastic about enhancements. Any new proposal will really have to be newbie-friendly and minimal.

Infobox auto-creator (working on this in PHP so even idiots can quickly create customized infoboxes)

Sounds interesting. See w:Wikipedia:Proposal for Table: namespace and intuitive table editor for some ideas on this.

'Source' button on edit page to insert generic source

Yes, I think having custom extensions to the edit toolbar for purposes like this makes sense. This shouldn't be too hard, someone just needs to come up with a nice button. I've added customizability to the simple tasklist.

Search results need to have a "sort by date" option because date is more relevant in news than MediaWiki's "relevancy" calculations - which are rather irrelevant to our news.

Sorting by last-edited might be possible, but probably tricky (we're using Lucene instead of MediaWiki's internal search engine). Probably best to talk to Brion about it.

Good day Ross. You asked about my sig. In the Preferences - User data section, one can set up a "nickname" to sign pages with instead of your user name. The software does this by automatically enclosing whatever you type in the nickname field with "" before the nickname and "" after the nickname.

I'm not sure what the correct location of this template is in an article, at the top of the page or at the bottom, but it seems to be used in both locations. When used at the top of the page, the template as it is currently puts a big gap between the title and the date, see American teenage girl charged with murder of her mother for an example.

The Metropolitan Police Service has questioned the suspects of the foiled July 21 bombing attacks. They are also seeking extradition of a fifth suspect from Rome.

Osman Hussain, 27, the suspect in Rome allegedly told investigators that the explosives he was carrying was not enough to even "harm people nearby." He also is reported to have said that "We were supposed to blow ourselves up."

The suspected bombers in the attacks were all from the war-torn East African countries of Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia

I'm making a bunch of mistakes here. Please be kind. I'm not used to writing in a journalism type environment, and in many ways prefer the much more laid back environment of a place like Wikibooks, where you will usually find me at.

If I see a news article that really gets my interest or is on a topic I am familiar with, I will try to add a little bit, usually a source or two. I am amazed though at just how thourough everybody seems to be here at policing what does get put on.

Former ECB chief Wim Duisenberg dies

July 31, 2005

Wim Duisenberg, the former head of the European Central Bank, has been found dead in his swimming pool at his house in south-east France, the French police say. No details were given about the cause of 70-year-old Mr Duisenberg's death.

However this was disputed by his wife, Gretta Duisenberg. She says she found her husband just outside the study in their villa and not in their swimming pool.

The former Dutch finance minister was the ECB's first president, and oversaw the introduction of the single European currency, the euro.

Talk:Anti-Mubarak protesters in Cairo beaten by the police

This story is part of World War III; the link below shows, perhaps, how WWIII was engineered ?
[]

Isn't this guy who has been in power 24 years, Mubarak, on our side? one of the "good guys"? If so, then why is this the"first in 24 years presidential elections with more than one candidate"? I hope the people overthrow this one more slimy dictator who's on our side (Suharto,Batista,Marcos,Pinochet,Shah of Iran,Saud club)

George Bush Sr. has 12 prime military aged grand children(7 men and 5 women). None of them are fighting for freedom; they are all lounging in Maine and Palm Beach. The link above shows how Bush Team #1 engineered WW III by giving Saddam the "green light" for attacking Kuwait; If you do not feel like reading the entire transcript, you can scroll to the section in red where the U.S. Ambassador,upon instructions from President Bush Sr., assures Saddam that the U.S. will not intervene in the Iraq/Kuwait conflict.

"We have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait. we express no opinion on this issue and the issue is not associated with America."

Then, like a good papa hyena, Bush Sr. left some of his catch for his cub to finish eating. As Paul Harvey always said.."now, that's the rest of the story." Paulrevere2005 19:51, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Also, the community has already addressed this topic on the water cooler[](1.6 Talk page comments) and as Dan says, one of the problems is where to draw the line e.g.; should these comments about "assault rifles" not be allowed?[];who will be the censor? you?..and remember, this is not Wikipedia.

Sudan’s Vice President killed in helicopter crash

August 1, 2005

, recently sworn in as Vice President of the Sudan, was confirmed dead after his helicopter disappeared yesterday. Sudanese state television initially reported him to be alive but it now appears Mr. Garang died after his helicopter crashed.

Garang became Vice President in a historic deal, which ended the southern rebellion after 20 years of fighting. The deal created a government of national unity, giving hope to many that problems endemic to the region, including the militia in Darfur, could finally be solved and that the Muslim north could come to liveable terms with the Christian.

Garang was making an official trip to Uganda when bad weather struck; his helicopter had not arrived at its destination and was out of contact leading many to fear the worst.

The BBC reports that "large-scale" rioting has broken out in the Sudanese capital, with supporters of Mr. Garang battling armed police. Disturbances are also reported in the south of the country. Some southerners believe that the Sudanese authorities were behind the crash, according to USA Today, which draws parallels with the shooting down of a plane carrying Rwanda's President Habyarimana in 1994. Habyarimana's assassination helped trigger Rwanda's infamous, recently portrayed in the movie "Hotel Rwanda".

Garang's party, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement, has appealed for calm, insisting that his death was an accident.

In a press release published on the website Allafrica.com, Uganda's President Museveni appeared to be keeping an open mind about the circumstances of the crash, which he says took place on the Ugandan-Sudanese border. "The helicopter was a recently overhauled executive helicopter that has served us well for the last 8 Years", he is quoted as saying, detailing a number of technical improvements recently made to the craft. In the same statement, Museveni announces the creation of a panel of experts to investigate the crash. "We have also approached a certain foreign government to rule out any form of sabotage or terrorism", he says.

Milošević may be jailed in Russia

July 31, 2005

According to the Sunday Times, Slobodan Milošević, a former Serbian President currently standing trial before the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia accused of war crimes, may serve his sentence in Russia if convicted.

"He first asked for it two years ago and the idea was rejected, but over the past 15 months there have been more talks and the British and Americans have both quietly said they are okay with it. They want this thing over with," a Tribunal official said, according to the Sunday Times.

Milošević's wife, Mirjana Marković, is currently living in Moscow, and it is believed that their son Marko Milošević is also there. Both are wanted by Serbian authorities.

The news was met with disapproval among victims of Milošević's regime, as Russia is a traditional Serbian ally, and Putin's regime has generally been supportive of Milošević, so he may get preferential treatment.

Hollywood-like car hijacking in Belgrade

July 31, 2005

And unidentified person hijacked a car with a child in it after Eyub Igrim left it to do shopping at a gas station in. Igrim, a Turkish citizen, was in transit through Serbia.

After Igrim left the car, a person got into it and attempted to escape. Igrim jumped on the hood of the car, but the thief did not stop driving. "I jumped on the hood, and he drove me for 3.5km, after which he made a sharp right turn and I fell off. That's all I can remember," said Igrim.

The thief threw the child out of a moving car, but the child was unhurt. Meanwhile, a citizen was chasing the thief in his own car from the gas station. In the Bežanijska Street, the thief lost control and crashed, after which the two men started fighting. A third car arrived soon, and the hijacker got into it and ran away.

The police think that the hijacker left his documents in an initially stolen car.

Serbian goal keeper debuts in Croatian football club Rijeka

July 31, 2005 A goal keeper from Serbia and Montenegro, Dragan Žilić, made his league debut for Croatian football club Rijeka against Cibalija. Žilić's appearance caused disturbance among some of Rijeka's fans, Armada, who did not approve of having a Serbian player in their outfit.

However, the game played yesterday proved that only a minority of fans have such strong nationalistic sentiments.

A group of about 200 Rijeka's fans present at the game started chanting songs such as: "Žilić go away" (Žiliću odlazi), "Hang Serbs on trees" (Srbe na vrbe), and "Fuck fudbal (Serbian), I like nogomet (Croatian)" (Jebeš fudbal, ja volim nogomet).

However, most of the other observers did not sing along, while the opposition's fans chanted in support of Žilić. In the 60th minute, a group of 200 fans left the stadium in protest, while the rest of the stadium kept singing supportive songs.

At the end of the game, the entire stadium applauded the Rijeka team. "I congratulate my team for greatly played game. Armada? That story had been told. I hope that support of fans was clear. I don't want to spread hate on that topic, I am only interested in club's results," Žilić said.

Black teenager murdered in racial attack in Liverpool, England

August 1, 2005 A black A-level student from Huyton, Merseyside, England has been murdered with an axe in what police have called a racist crime. He was 18 years old. Over 800 racist and religious hate incidents have been reported in London since July 7, a sharp increase from before the bombings.

A hooded white man in his 20s directed a torrent of racist abuse at Anthony Walker who was at a bus stop outside the Huyton Park pub where Walker waited with his white girlfriend and cousin.

The three walked away from the racial abuse without retaliating, but a gang of up to four white men caught up with them as they crossed McGoldrick Park. Mr. Walker's girlfriend and cousin ran to get help. When they returned, they found Mr. Walker on the ground with an axe embedded in his skull. He died at 0525 BST on Saturday 28 July 2005.

As of Monday, 1 August 2005, 05:00 GMT, Merseyside Police have arrested a 17-year-old white. They released an 18-year-old held on Sunday morning. They also want to question Paul Taylor and Michael Barton, brother of Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton, who they believe may have left the United Kingdom.

The story has sent shockwaves across the country, being the front-page story of The Independent and Daily Mirror on August 1st, and echoing the murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993, also an 18-year-old black student.

King Fahd of Saudi Arabia announced dead

August 1, 2005

It has been confirmed that King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia has died. There will be no coffin or state funeral for Fahd and he will be buried without a headstone as is customary in, the kingdom's strict version of Islam. Prince Charles and Jacques Chirac will be in attendance.

Fahd suffered a stroke in 1995, and his half-brother, Crown Prince Abdullah, had acted as the de-facto regent of the country.

On May 27, the Saudi government announced that the king had been hospitalized. He remained until his death Monday.

Fahd succeeded after being Crown Prince and First Deputy Prime Minister, a position he held since 1975. It is unknown how many women are made widows by the death of King Fahd, but the previous king was reported to have had 145 wives.

Adbullah will be crowned as king in a later ceremony, while Minister of Defence and Aviation has been named the new Crown Prince.

Fahd was the eleventh son of the founder of the Saudi kingdom, King Ibn Saud, and the fifth king of the modern kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Poland accuses Belarus of human rights violations

August 1, 2005 Poland has called for the EU to assist curtailing what it has called human rights abuses in Belarus. Belarusian papers describe this as a 'dirty political game', and part of a 'cold war' waged on president Alexander Lukashenko.

The Belarusian Riot police with guns and dogs seized the headquarters of the Union of Poles in Belarus, an association representing the 400 thousand ethnic minority Polish people living in western areas of Belarus that were part of Poland until World War II.

Earlier this year, Amnesty International reported a "pattern of deliberate obstruction, harassment and intimidation of human rights defenders" in Belarus. Reporters Without Borders recently accused the Belarusian authorities of hounding and arresting journalists from the country's Polish minority. Lukashenko has recently closed the country's main Polish newspaper, printing a bogus paper instead with the same name that praised his regime. Lukashenko accused Poland of an attempt to overthrow his regime by stirring up a peaceful revolution in Belarus like the "orange revolution" in [[Ukraine last year.

The dispute between Poland and Belarus escalated further as Poland responded by recalling its ambassador from Belarus for indefinite consultations and called on the European Union to impose sanctions on the Belarusian leadership.

Polish Foreign Minister Adam Rotfeld said a clampdown is under way, aimed at destroying "all elements of political pluralism and independence" in Belarus. France expressed her solidarity with Poland on the issue of human rights in Belarus a day after the EU said it was worried about the situation in the country.

The European Union will finance radio and TV programs to be broadcasted to Belarus.

Guantanamo prosecutors call trials a "fraud"

August 1, 2005

According to leaked emails, two former prosecutors allege that the US military commissions at Guantanamo Bay are fraudulent and rigged.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that one prosecutor, Major Robert Preston, wrote that the process was perpetrating a fraud on the American public."I consider the insistence on pressing ahead with cases that would be marginal even if properly prepared to be a severe threat to the reputation of the military justice system and even a fraud on the American people," Maj Preston wrote. "Surely they don't expect that this fairly half-assed effort is all that we have been able to put together after all this time."

Captain John Carr, the second prosecutor, wrote to his supervisor: "You have repeatedly said to the office that the military panel will be handpicked and will not acquit these detainees and that we only needed to worry about building a record for the review panel."

"There is absolutely no evidence that it is rigged." Brig Gen Hemingway stated in defence to these claims, "In each of the four cases which have been referred, the appointing authority John Alterburgh made an independent determination that the evidence was sufficient to warrant trial."

Australian warship sunk as artificial reef

August 1, 2005

The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) warship HMAS Brisbane was sunk yesterday as an artificial reef off the coast of Mudjimba, Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Brisbane was one of three Charles F. Adams-class guided-missile destroyers built for the RAN. She was launched at Bay City, Michigan in the United States on 5 May 1966.

She saw service in the Vietnam and Gulf wars before decommissioning on 19 October 2001.

The bridge and other parts of the ship were removed and preserved at the Australian War Museum in Canberra.

Brisbane was filled with approximately 200 tonnes of concrete and 38 small charges were placed around the hull. The charges were detonated by Queensland Premier Peter Beattie, sinking Brisbane within five-minutes.

Thousands of people watched the spectacle, including Brisbane's former commanding officer, Rear-Admiral Geoffrey Loosli.

The tourist industry hopes that Brisbane will become a popular diving site, attracting up to 10,000 divers annually, bringing around $20 million Australian dollars. A number of warships have recently been sunk as artificial reefs. The British Royal Navy's HMS Scylla was sunk as one in Western Europe on 27 May 2004. The Canadian frigate HMCS Nipigon was sunk in 2003 on the St. Lawrence River, near Rimouski, Quebec.

Burundian Hutu extremists have killed 300 civilians in the last two months

August 1, 2005 The Burundian Hutu-extremist group Palipehutu-FNL (commonly known as FNL), has killed 300 civilians in the last two months, according to local sources.

Burundi's Radio Publique Africain has reported the discovery of three mass graves in the provinces of Bubanza, and Bujumbura-Rurale - an FNL stronghold.

"Some of them are killed because the FNL accuses them of collaborating with national defence forces, and others are assassinated simply because they have deserted the movement", army spokesman Adolphe Manirakiza is quoted by Reuters as saying.

The FNL, a hardlined splinter group of the "Partie pour la libération du peuple Hutu", has been fighting the Burundian government since the mid-1990s. Civilians have borne the brunt of the violence, according to human rights groups. The organisation has consistently been linked with remnants of the Rwandan Hutu militia who carried out the 1994 genocide, and is believed to share a similar ideology.

In August last year, the FNL admitted responsibility for the massacre of 152 Congolese Tutsis at the Gatumba refugee camp in western Burundi. Rwandan and Congolese groups are also believed to have taken part in the attack. The FNL later claimed that the refugee camp was a military base. UN investigators found no evidence for the allegation, and human rights groups pointed out that most of the dead were women and children.

Although the FNL is known for its hostility to the Tutsi ethnic group, many of its victims have been Hutus accused of disloyalty.

Burundi's ruling FRODEBU party was recently accused by their electoral rivals of employing FNL fighters to disrupt the country's first polls since 1993. FRODEBU denied the charges, but admitted "political collaboration" with the group.

Speaking to Reuters, FNL spokesman Pasteur Habimana admitted that his group had killed civilians in recent months, but said that those killed had been "people who are sent by the army with a mission of eliminating our fighters by giving them poison". Habimana also accused the Burundian army of attacking civilians.

Talk:Poland accuses Belarus of human rights violations

Dispute
The Belarussian government almost certainly has provided a rationale for its actions. Even if you do not agree with them, they have to be presented in the article. Please add them - this article cannot be published until then. Dan100 (Talk) 10:26, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Good, go ahead and include them in the article then. I know of none other than "worldwide conspiracy against Belarus". Ktoto 10:52, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've added a quote from Belarusian paper, although I'm not sure if this can be treated seriously as all the press in Belarus is government controlled. I hope this is what you wanted. Ktoto 11:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Sorry Ktoto, I've changed a lot, and you won't like it. But unless you want Dan100 to rip it down again, you can't call anyone a dictator, and you can't say that human rights violations occured until they are proven. It is better that this article gets written and is too soft on Belarusia, then the article gets thrown out for being biased. Wisty 11:54, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Not at all, actually I like it better now :-). Thanks Ktoto 12:20, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Wisty 12:24, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:King Fahd of Saudi Arabia announced dead

The "11th son" info is from this page, and the "5th king" info is from Wikipedia. The kings are Ibn Saud, Saud of Saudia Arabia, King Faisal, King Khalid, and King Fahd. And now the new one, of course. --DavidConrad 10:37, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

His Highness King Fahd? _______________________________________

 * Is there any place to appropriately fit this Canadian Broadcasting Company investigative report;
 * This is a tad off-topic, but hooked to my edits of this page. Are we slated to use American-style spellings and language or British-style spellings and language. For example, would we use "defense" or "defence," or "1 August 2005" or "August 1, 2005." This is a contention we must deal with as this is a global writing community.
 * Please see this poll --Cspurrier 00:27, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

--CUWickliffe 19:25, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, but this doesn't completely clear it up, as it looks like a straw poll of about 30 people. And if I go by the poll, the story "originates" in Saudi Arabia, so should we assume British English for all stories datelined outside the U.S. regardless of their true dateline? Also this can be quite confusing for editors who are not 100 percent set on a particular style (i.e., I don't know all the nuances of British English)
 * For the most part we use first writer theory when the story is not set in an English speaking country. --Cspurrier 19:34, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Black teenager murdered in racial attack in Liverpool, England

All part of World War 3
Perhaps the story should be tied in more with the Jul 7 bombings("Race attacks rise after bombs"The Guardian, August 1, 2005)...and thus, the War in Iraq..what courts refer to as "the fruit of the tree". It would be interesting to get some man on the street interviews in London right now,perhaps. Maybe there is an underswell of the "Crusade" mentality Bush promotes [] and maybe that is the underlying cause of this attack(story)-To the rascist, black may = muslim. Paulrevere2005 11:51, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Some issues
There are some issues with this article. a sharp increase from before the bombings.
 * Even if this is related, it needs to be explained in greater detail. If not, it could be seen as a push for POV in the story.

"The three walked away from the racial abuse without retaliating, but a gang of up to four white men caught up with them as they crossed McGoldrick Park. Mr. Walker's girlfriend and cousin ran to get help. When they returned, they found Mr. Walker on the ground with an axe embedded in his skull. He died at 0525 BST on Saturday 28 July 2005."
 * Appears on the WP article of the fellow. As such, the text would be GFDL.  Copyvio.  --Mrmiscellanious 18:37, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Is UK government stirring up racial hatred?
Isn't the government's racial slurs and behaviour part of this story? Because they are constantly talking about "evil" Islamic fundamentalists? They are only saying it for effect because King Fahd was an extreme islamic fundamentalist[] and they sure seemed to like him. Also, now they say they are not going to bother searching "little old white ladies" on the underground. Why not? Haven't they ever heard of "mules"? They are just targeting people of colour and everybody knows it. That should be part of this story; how Blair and Straw are stirring up racial hatred. Paulrevere2005 11:40, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Arsed?
Although the Australian media might have reported it as such, I doubt that an American army major used the expression "half-arsed". No doubt he actually said "half-assed", and it was translated to Australian English? --Fubar Obfusco 16:54, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Bush appoints John Bolton United States' ambassador to the United Nations

August 1, 2005 In a televised press statement at 14:00 UTC (10:00 a.m. EDT) today, President of the United States George W. Bush announced that he was appointing John R. Bolton to the position of the United States' ambassador to the United Nations.

Stating that Mr. Bolton had received support from "a majority of Senators", but had been "unfairly denied the up-or-down vote that he deserved" by the "delaying tactics of a few", Mr. Bush announced that the post had stood vacant for long enough during what he termed "a war", and that he was "exercising his constitutional authority" to make the appointment.

"This post is too important to leave vacant any longer, especially during a war and a vital debate about U.N. reform," Bush said during an announcement in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. Bolton appeared with him and spoke briefly. "I am profoundly grateful and deeply humbled," Bolton said. "It will be a distinct privilege to be an advocate for America's values and interests at the U.N."

The President can make an appointment without the approval of the Senate while the Congress is in recess, but the term of such a "recess appointment" expires at the end of the Congressional session. The next session begins January 3, 2007.

Objections
The move comes despite a letter to the President last week saying that Mr. Bolton was "not truthful" while answering questions before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in March, and should not be given a recess appointment. The New York Times reports the letter was signed by 36 senators -- 35 Democrats and one Independent.

Some senators, including Republicans, have raised questions regarding Mr. Bolton's history of criticizing the United Nations, his treatment of subordinates, and over charges that he has tried to influence intelligence assessments to conform to his views, the Times reports.

During confirmation hearings, Republican Senator George Voinovich described Bolton as "the poster child of what someone in the diplomatic corps should not be." Because of Voinovich's opposition, Bolton's nomination was sent to the floor of the Senate without a recommendation.

Reactions
"At a time when we need to reassert our diplomatic power in the world, President Bush has decided to send a seriously flawed and weakened candidate to the United Nations," said Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. "The reason Bolton is being recess appointed is because the president chose to stonewall the Senate. Mr. Bolton could have had his up or down vote had President Bush given senators the information they needed. Instead, Bolton arrives at the United Nations with a cloud hanging over his head."

"The president has done a real disservice to our nation by appointing an individual who lacks the credibility to further U.S. interests at the United Nations. I will be monitoring his performance closely to ensure that he does not abuse his authority as he has in the past," said Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.

"We will work with him as the ambassador and representative of the president and the government," U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said. "We look forward to working with him, as I do with the other 190 ambassadors".

Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas praised the president for using his authority "to end the obstruction against John Bolton." Cornyn said, "This is an important position and it's critical that it not remain vacant any longer. Bolton is exceptionally well qualified to fill this role at this time."
