    • Digby: Premature Anti-Blogofascism

      Posted by Billbar from Digby's Blog

      It is with great regret that I must resign from the vast left wing blogospheric conspiracy today. The time has come to choose one's allegiances, and mine must lie with my liege lords, the journalistic and political leadership who have brought us where we are today. I can no longer be associated with the barbaric, illiterate jacknapes who presume to call their betters' judgment into question.

      Suspected al-Qaida Aide Leads Somali Group

      Posted by Billbar from ABC News

      Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, a fundamentalist Muslim who is listed by the U.S. State Department as a suspected al-Qaida collaborator, was named Saturday as the new leader of an Islamic militia that has seized control of Somalia's capital. Aweys replaces Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, who is moderate in comparison.

Elderly Jamous was the respected humanitarian coordinator for the main rebel Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) before it split in November last year. He was the main contact for the more than 14,000 aid workers in the region.

      Posted by Billbar from Reuters

      Iraq's prime minister presented a plan for national reconciliation to parliament on Sunday, but Nuri al-Maliki was short on detail of how he aimed to end what he called the "ugly picture" of life in Iraq. "There will be an amnesty for those who did not take part in criminal and terrorist acts and war crimes," said Maliki, echoing calls for the U.S. military to address Sunni grievances about the 13,000 mostly Sunni men held without charge.
