2007-11-05 13:30 New Detainee Rights Weighed in Plans to Close Guantánamo
Administration officials are considering granting Guantánamo detainees substantially greater rights as part of an effort to close the detention center and possibly move much of its population to the United States, according to officials involved in the discussions. One proposal that is being widely discussed in the administration would overhaul the procedure for determining whether detainees are properly held by granting them legal representation at detention hearings and by giving federal judge …

2007-10-31 02:36 Primordialisme Melayu Raya
RENÉ L PATTIRADJAWANE Empat belas tahun lalu, Samuel Huntington mengajukan sebuah paradigma baru dalam hubungan internasional melalui artikelnya yang terkenal, "The Clash of Civilization", yang dimuat pada jurnal bergengsi Foreign Affairs pada tahun 1993. Huntington ketika itu menyebutkan, negara bangsa adalah, dan akan tetap, menjadi aktor yang paling penting dalam urusan dunia. Tapi, kepentingan, asosiasi, dan konfliknya secara cepat dipertajam oleh faktor-faktor kebudayaan dan peradaban. Hubu …

2007-10-23 18:44 Make Walls, Not War
By Peter W. Galbraith, a former United States ambassador to Croatia and the author of œThe End of Iraq . He is a principal in a company that does consulting in Iraq and elsewhere (THE NEW YORK TIMES, 23/10/07): In a surge of realism, the Senate has voted 75-23 to acknowledge that Iraq has broken up and cannot be put back together. The measure, co-sponsored by Joe Biden, a Democratic presidential candidate, and Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas, supports a plan for Iraq to become a loose confe …

2007-10-23 18:26 Turkey is a thorn in the side of a cosy western consensus
By Slavoj Zizek, international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities (THE GUARDIAN, 23/10/07): Recent days have seen Dick Cheney and Tony Blair point belligerent fingers at Tehran, but both spoke in the slipstream of Bernard Kouchner, who a month ago warned the world that it should prepare for war over Iran's nuclear programme. "We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war," said the French minister of foreign affairs. The swell of rhetoric - which culminated in Preside …

2007-10-22 22:45 COHA Report. The Organization of American States: On its Deathbed
To Our Readers Unfortunately, an older and unedited version of the COHA piece entitled œThe OAS: On its Deathbed was inadvertently sent out to a very small cohort of COHA readers on October 17 before an error was discovered and the press run was immediately aborted. Due to a computer editing error, the author, Sean Bartlett did not catch that two different facts were spliced into one sentence. Jose Miguel Insulza, as a young man in his late twenties, was a political director in the Chilean For …

2007-10-22 13:25 Iran s power struggle intensifies
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 22/10/07): Saeed Jalili, who replaced Ali Larijani as Iran's top nuclear negotiator at the weekend, is a man of strong moral views who believes spiritual values must inform political actions. His absolute conviction of the rightness of Iran's cause, and his loyalty to his old friend Iran's hardline president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, may make him an awkward interlocutor when talks with the EU on the nuclear dossier resume in Rome tomorrow. In a lengthy interview condu …

2007-10-22 08:27 Erdogan om 301 og genocid
The Times har dybdeintervjuet Recep Tayyip Erdogan. En mulig invasjon av Nord-Irak står i sentrum, men vel så interessant er det han sier om armenerne og paragraf 301. Erdogan vurderer åpenbart amerikanernes innsats i Irak svært lavt: The Times: You have by your own admission mounted 24 previous incursions into northern Iraq. Why would this one be any more successful than any of the previous ones Erdogan: It would be wrong to speak before we have done anything. Of course every operation aims to …

Jalaluddin Haqqani with his son Nasrudin. Click to view. As the Taliban's insurgency in Pakistan escalates, the US and Afghan National Army have identified Pakistani-based Siraj Haqqani as the primary threat to security in eastern Afghanistan. Siraj Haqqani, the son of the influential Taliban leader and former defense minister Jalaluddin Haqqani, was described as "one of the most influential insurgent commanders in eastern Afghanistan" who has "vied for the lead role as the Islamic Republic of A …

2007-10-19 10:03 Bad News From the Netherlands
The media is the most powerful tool for "branding" a country. The enormous number of foreign journalists based in Israel has certainly played its part in keeping the Arab-Israeli conflict in the public eye, far beyond other conflict zones around the world, such as Darfur. Despite being a global leader in hi-tech, science, agriculture and many other fields, Israel suffers from negative branding by the media primarily within the context of a conflict situation. In stark contrast, what is the Neth …

Matt Yglesias writes : People often note that there appears to be a more vigorous debate over Israel's approach to the Israeli-Arab conflict in the mainstream Israeli press than there is in the mainstream American press. This is, however, the kind of judgment that it's hard for a casual American observer to make with much confidence. Writing in International Security, however, Jerome Slater takes a more systematic comparison of coverage of the conflict in The New York Times and in H …

2007-10-17 15:24 Stirring up the past, jeopardising the future
By Bronwen Maddox (THE TIMES, 17/10/07): The most extraordinary spectacle of the past week has been the apparent desire of the US Congress to pronounce as genocide the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Turks, even though there is nothing more provocative to Turkey, and no worse time at which to do it. Why take up an historic cause with such passion And why now, when the most precarious planks of US foreign policy rest on already fraying relations with Turkey It is not just the Bush Administration th …

2007-10-16 03:35 A Hidden Island of Democracy
By John Valentine President of the Utah Senate Kyrgyzstan (the Kyrgyz Republic) is an island of emerging democracy in the heart of central Asia. It is a landlocked country about the size of South Dakota, with a population about the size of Utah. It is a mountainous land with 40 percent of its landmass above 3000 meters (9,900 feet). Needless to say, I felt right at home in the mountains and at the lakes of this jewel of central Asia. It took me nearly two full days to reach Kyrgyzstan. Why did w …

2007-10-15 17:43 Nick Clegg - Stand Up Please
I'm saddened to see the resignation of Ming Campbell but not completely surprised. He did do a great deal to strengthen the internal party organisation but unfortunately there was an image issue. I hope that whoever succeeds him in the forthcoming leadership election will have the wisdom to give Ming the Foreign Affairs brief in which he clearly has always excelled. I'm going to declare my support for Nick Clegg who I think had what it took 18 months ago and I believe even more strongly has what …

2007-10-15 16:02 Armenians Who Need Help Today
By Fred Hiatt (THE WASHINGTON POST, 15/10/07): Imagine what the Armenian diaspora might have accomplished had it worked as hard for democracy in Armenia as it did for congressional recognition of the genocide Armenians suffered nearly a century ago. It's even possible that modern Armenia would be as democratic as modern Turkey. The Armenian American community notched a political victory last week when the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted 27 to 21 for a resolution demanding that the U.S. gov …

"China's overall strength has grown considerably and people enjoyed more tangible benefits" under his leadership, he said. "China's international standing and influence has risen notably". Perhaps he should be called Super-Hu. Yet the "trust us, all will be well" message emanating from the Communist party's 17th congress in Beijing is …
