When Ben Eliezer shook the hand of Fahmi in Cairo, he had no notion that Egypt and Britain had secretly struck a separate deal behind Israel’s back. It provided for British Gas and its Palestinian partners - through the Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Company – CCC - to resume drilling at the Gaza offshore field and sell the gas to Egypt over the same 15-year period as the contract with Israel.

But MSNBC TV translator Jacob Keryakes, who said that a copy of the message was later posted on a secular Web site, noted that the claim of responsibility contained an error in one of the Quranic verses it cited. That suggests that the claim may be phony, he said.
"This is not something al-Qaida would do," he said. Galloway was confident that massively opposed public opinion would stop an attack from taking place, unless a staged terror attack carried out by the military industrial complex and blamed on Iran was carried out.
Special bulletin on the bombings in London : MIKE MARQUSEE: "BLAIR PUT THIS CITY IN THE FIRING LINE" This morning, the suffering, grief and terror that have visited so many
innocents in recent years came to London. We have not paid the kind of price
that people have paid in Falluja, Najaf or Jenin, but it is a steep price
nonetheless. And its root causes are the same.
Just whose interest does this attack serve? - It puts the Number 1 issue right back on the front burner right at the point where all these world leaders are meeting. It takes global warming off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again.

Strong Russia annoys USA - 07/07/2005 10:06 The USA still can not understand that it did not win the Cold War - US Senate Committee for Appropriations has expressed concern about the strengthening of Russia's role in the countries of the former Soviet Union. The Committee called on the State Department to convoke an international conference on issues relating to the promotion of democracy in the region. Russian-US relations are getting increasingly paradoxical. Partnership and cooperation in some areas are accompanied by the attempts aiming to put unilateral pressure on the political process in other areas Update 4: U.S. Raises Transit Threat Level After U.K. Bombings - The U.S. raised the terror threat level for public transit systems nationwide in what Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff called a ``common sense'' response to terrorist bombings in London that killed at least 37 people on trains and a bus.

The Media Farce Over Iran's Newly Elected President -
By Walter C. Uhler:
During the past week, Americans have been treated to the spectacle of America's mainstream news media stumbling over itself while attempting to define the newly elected President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for American readers and viewers.
