"War on Terror", Bush made a pact with Tony Blair in 2001 that we would not mess
around with the British empire's control of opium and heroin that they've
managed since the first British ship first landed in China under Queen
Elizabeth's grandfather."
Well, well! It seems to me that not everyone in DEA is a Neanderthal after all.
Apparently, there is one bright boy in DEA who has either happened onto or
figured out a reality that only a few people on our planet knows.

AUSTRALIA NEEDS YEARS OF HEAVY RAINFALL TO CRACK DROUGHT: EXPERTS
Agence France-Presse
http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jQuC-Yg3HJj9RWDARXHX83Rr3GLQ
Australia will need several years of heavy rainfall to reverse the
devastating effects of a drought
that has battered farm production, the Bureau of Meteorology said in a
report received Monday.
The report came despite months of drenching rains spawned by the La
Nina weather
phonomenon in hte agricultural east of the country that sparked
optimism that the worst
drought in 100 years might at last be over.
But the Bureau's latest findings show that the "big dry", nearly a
decade of below average
rainfall and high temperatures, is stubbornly lingering across much
of the continent and
the rain needed to end it is not in sight

The statements made by Al-Hayat, a Lebanese newspaper, London-based
unheard of in Lebanon, show the Honorable President Saddam Husein
was
being harassed by his captors as may be seen in ""I explained to them
that they are young and they could have young people's diseases,"
Saddam wrote. "My main concern was to not catch a venereal disease,
an
HIV disease, in this place." He said some soldiers ignored his
request." (Al-Hayat (Life)) ( http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080506/

The Honorable President Saddam Husein may had been exposed to the
same
acts of immorality that permeated Abu Graib Prison, acts of gang
rapes
and torture. As an older man and president of a country, he...

US envoy calls for protecting intellectual property rights
Unb, Dhaka
US Ambassador James F. Moriarty has said that Bangladesh should care
for protecting intellectual property rights (IPR) that are the legal
mechanisms to ensure that the products people buy are genuine.
“Why should Bangladesh care about protecting intellectual property
rights? Intellectual property rights (IPR) are the legal mechanisms -
copyrights, patents and trademarks - that ensure that the products we
buy are genuine,” Moriarty said in an article made available to press
yesterday.
He warned that dangerous and defective counterfeit products, from
counterfeit medication, to toothpaste, to auto parts, put the lives of
consumers at risk, adding that strong IPR system would ensure that
inventors and innovators are rewarded for their ideas.

UK hopes for polls without emergency
Outgoing HC tells AL, BNP leaders
Outgoing British High Commissioner Anwar Choudhury yesterday said the
UK government hopes the general election in Bangladesh would be held
without a state of emergency in force.
He said if a complete withdrawal is not possible, emergency should be
lifted to the maximum extent as soon as possible.
He made the observations while talking to reporters after separate
meetings with Awami League's (AL) acting president Zillur Rahman and
BNP chairperson-appointed secretary general Khandaker Delwar Hossain.
During discussions with the UK envoy, Zillur said his party would not
participate in any election without its president while Delwar said
former prime ministers Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina would have to be
freed without delay.
Anwar Choudhury said he hopes there would be a free, fair and credible
election by the year-end and Bangladesh will make a step towards
democracy by forming a meaningful parliament.

Bangladesh companies in food move
By Mark Dummett
Factory owners in Bangladesh have started distributing subsidised food
to thousands of their lowest paid workers.
Recent price rises have forced many Bangladeshis to reduce the amount
they eat each day.
There have been a series of protests at garment factories in recent
weeks over the rising cost of living.
Bangladesh is suffering from its worst food crisis in years, after the
cost of its staple food, rice, doubled in the past 12 months.
Cheaper
Bangladesh's garment factories are the mainstay of the economy .
They account for three quarters of the country's export earnings and
brought in more than $9bn last year.
They make cheap clothes for many of the world's most famous brands and
largest retail chains, such as Walmart, Tesco and Carrefour.

San Remo conference
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The San Remo[1] Conference was an international meeting of the post-
World War I Allied Supreme Council, held in Sanremo, Italy, from 19 to
26 April 1920. It was attended by the four Principal Allied Powers of
World War I who were represented by the Prime Ministers of Britain
(David Lloyd George), France (Alexandre Millerand) and Italy
(Francesco Nitti) and by the Ambassador of Japan (K. Matsui).
It determined the allocation of Class "A" League of Nations mandates
for administration of the former Ottoman-ruled lands of the Middle
East.
The decisions of the conference mainly confirmed those of the First
Conference of London (February 1920), and broadly reaffirmed the terms
of the Anglo-French Sykes-Picot Agreement of 16 May 1916 for the
region's partition and the Balfour Declaration of 2 November 1917.
Britain received the mandate for Palestine and Iraq, while France
gained control of Syria including present-day Lebanon.
