Video calls for shutting down Iowa caucuses; Anonymous claims responsibility 06 Nov 2011 An anarchist-style movement that has caught the attention of the FBI and taken credit for hacking into military and corporate websites has now claimed responsibility for creating a video that urges its supporters to shut down the Iowa caucuses. Local authorities say they are aware of the video, are preparing for possible action by the group and are in contact with the presidential campaigns about the issue. A computer-generated voice in the online video, which had received more than 1,600 views by Sunday evening, says, "Both parties are desecrating the American democracy and committing crimes against humanity on behalf of the American people."

Afghan Taliban leader tells his men not to kill Afghan civilians --Mullah Omar warned of severe punishments for Taliban fighters responsible for civilian deaths. 05 Nov 2011 The Afghan Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, has released a statement on a Taliban website to urge self-control over the killing of civilians. The elusive leader, who has not been seen in public since 2001, urged his fighters to avoid civilian deaths, saying the Afghan war has to be resolved by "realization and understanding." Insisting his troops "take every step to protect the lives and wealth of ordinary people," he said: "Do not wrongly pester and daunt anyone by the barrel of the gun." [Too bad USociopaths don't issue the same directive.]
CIA Drones Kill Large Groups Without Knowing Who They Are 04 Nov 2011 The expansion of the CIA's undeclared drone war in the tribal areas of Pakistan required a big expansion of who can be marked for death. ...The number of people targeted at once has grown. This is the new standard, according to a piece in the Wall Street Journal: "men believed to be militants associated with terrorist groups, but whose identities aren't always known." The CIA is now killing people without knowing who they are, on suspicion of association with terrorist groups... Strikes targeting those people -- usually "groups" of such people -- are called "signature" strikes. "The bulk of CIA's drone strikes are signature strikes," the Journal reports.
Nouri al-Maliki accuses foreigners of causing trouble for Iraq 05 Nov 2011 The Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, has claimed some countries are making efforts to destabilize Iraq.

UK army chief secretly visits Tel Aviv 04 Nov 2011 British military chief General Sir David Richards has secretly visited Tel Aviv earlier this week, the Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post quoted Israel's military sources as saying.

He also visited the northern parts of the Israeli occupied territories at Israel's borders with Lebanon.
Children may be vaccinated with anthrax to test if they can survive bioterrorism attack 25 Oct 2011 The anthrax vaccine has been tested extensively in adults and more than 2.6million members of the armed forces have also been inoculated, the Washington Post said. But there is no data on how well the vaccine works on children, or whether it would be safe. In 1998, the Pentagon began an anthrax immunisation programme in the military, but it was halted over concerns on the vaccine's safety. Personnel currently assigned to bioterrorism activities, including defence, are required to have anthrax vaccinations - as well as those deployed for 15 days or more in the Middle East and South Korea.

Herman Cain settlement dated 9/99 --Attorney for one of the women who worked at NRA said client's settlement was dated September 1999 04 Nov 2011 Joel Bennett, the attorney for one of the women who complained about Herman Cain at the National Restaurant Association said Friday that his client's settlement was dated in September of 1999 and signed by the trade group's general counsel but not Cain. Cain had already left the organization by then, before his three-year term was completed. That the settlement was signed by the restaurant association's counsel, Peter Kilgore, illustrates just how central he is in the allegations against Cain.
Herman Cain's popularity sinks after sexual harassment allegations 06 Nov 2011 The allegations of sexual harassment that have dogged Herman Cain for a week have taken their toll on his presidential campaign, according to a poll by Reuters/Ipsos. In the first sign that the claims, which date back to a decade ago when he was head of the National Restaurant Association, have begun to damage his election chances, the poll shows a drop in his popularity among Republicans from 66% a week ago to 57%. Among all registered voters, Cain's favourability declined 5 percentage points, from 37 to 32.
GOP Rep. apologizes for slur against Jews 04 Nov 2011 Amid a bid for the state Senate, the chairman of the Texas House Republican Caucus is drawing attention this week for an ethnic slur he uttered during a legislative oversight committee hearing. "Don't nitpick, don't try to Jew them down," Rep. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood, said regarding insurance payments for windstorm victims on Thursday. He quickly followed the statement by saying, "That's probably a bad term." The hearing continued without other members acknowledging what he had said.
Large piece of Antarctica to disappear 04 Nov 2011 A very large portion of the Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica is expected to split over the next weeks. The massive Antarctic iceberg is expected to be in the dimension of 300-square-miles; the size of New York City. The cracks in the ice are now 240 feet across and about 190 feet deep, which is almost to sea level. Warmer seawater has been melting the underside of Pine Island Glacier's shelf, thinning it from the bottom.

The figures for 2010 mean that levels of greenhouse gases are higher than the worst case scenario outlined by climate experts just four years ago. The world pumped about 564m more tons (512m metric tons) of carbon into the air in 2010 than it did in 2009, an increase of 6%.
Many in chilly Northeast mark 8th day without power; Conn. outages may stretch to Wednesday 06 Nov 2011 Tens of thousands in the chilly Northeast remained without power Sunday, eight days after a rare October snowstorm knocked much of the region into the dark.

At a news conference Sunday night in hardest-hit Connecticut, the state's largest utility [Connecticut Light & Power] announced that it wouldn't meet its goal of restoring power to 99 percent of its 1.2 million customers.
