Vast oil slicks all but disappear in Gulf of Mexico LARA MARLOWE in Washington THE FIERY explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that killed 11 men on April 20th was followed by images of stricken wildlife, acrimonious hearings on Capitol Hill and revelations that BP failed to take the most elementary safety precautions. For example, it shut off the rig's fire alarm so workers' sleep would not be interrupted. Just a day after Tony Hayward - BP's gaffe-prone, scapegoat chief executive - stepped down, the company could take comfort in a... Click here for more details. |

It prevents four of the most... Click here for more details. |

The 'Real' Rogue Soldiers Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. At first glance and in regards to the title, it might seem this article pertains to the Afghan army sergeant who recently turned his weapon and fired on trainers, or Bradley Manning who is suspected of leaking 90,000 secret military reports to Wikileaks, including the now infamous video showing U.S. forces killing innocent Iraqi civilians.

'I Have Seen The Future And It Runs Through Here' Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. At first, I thought about titling this article "Walls, Political Graffiti, and Prophetic Idealism." But the phrase: "I Have Seen The Future And It Runs Through Here," essentially means the same thing. The words were actually scrawled on the Berlin Wall, and when the wall was being dismantled by tens of thousands of East German protesters and citizens, along with uniting with those living in West Germany, the words on the wall were often visible and became extremely significant. To this day, "I Have Seen The Future And It Runs Through Here" is still momentous. The reason I mention the Berlin Wall and "I Have Seen The Future And It Runs... Click here for more details. |

Pentagon probe into Afghan leaks The US defence department has launched a criminal investigation into the leaking of more than 90,000 documents on the war in Afghanistan, amid US government efforts to limit damage from what military officials have described as "dangerous" disclosures. Speaking at the White House on Tuesday, Barack Obama, the president, said he was concerned about the massive leak, but the papers published by the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks on Monday, did not reveal any concerns that were not already part of the debate. In his first public comments on the matter, Obama said the disclosure "could potentially jeopardise individuals or operations". But he added: "While I'm concerned... Click here for more details. |

Allies relied on 'poor' intelligence on Iraq, says Blix Hans Blix, the former chief UN weapons inspector, accused US and British intelligence yesterday of paying too much attention to Iraqi defectors who told them that Saddam Hussein's regime had weapons of mass destruction, because that was what they wanted to hear. The former head of the UN's Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) has maintained for years that his team of inspectors should have been allowed more time to complete their work in Iraq, which was cut short by the invasion in March 2003. He claimed yesterday that the US administration at the time was... Click here for more details. |

Senate hearing on Lockerbie bomber postponed FREDERIC J. FROMMER Associated Press Writer= WASHINGTON (AP) ? A senator said Tuesday that he was postponing this week's hearing on the release of the man convicted of bombing Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland because of "stonewalling" by British and Scottish officials who declined to testify.

The committee is looking into whether British-based oil company BP had sought Abdel Baset al-Megrahi's release to help get a $900 million exploration agreement with Libya off the ground. BP acknowledged that it had urged the... Click here for more details. |

Obama challenged after Afghan leak US legislators opposed to the Afghan war have pushed to pull US forces out of Pakistan in a blunt challenge to President Barack Obama. As the US Army opened a criminal investigation into a huge leak of military files to the whistleblowing website Wikileaks, Obama said the documents showed he was right to craft a new Afghan war-fighting approach and vowed to stick with it. "We have to see that strategy through," said the president on Tuesday, who declared the roughly 92,000 newly revealed documents "don't reveal any issues that haven't already informed our public debate on Afghanistan." His comments came as the House of Representatives geared up for votes on an emergency spending bill to pay... Click here for more details. |
