Found this on online magazine First post
A real life spy writes about what happens behind the scenes
I like the idea of two spies colluding together, disregarding
government orders to get the job done - for real!
Its a bit short but Id be interested to read more from this columnist
http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/index.php?menuID=2&subID=1350
"The scene was straight out of the Great Game - a steely-eyed British
soldier and a resourceful, clear-thinking intelligence officer coming
to their own conclusions and making their own preparations, completely
ignoring the views and spin of their politicised bosses in London, all
beneath the rose and orange blossom of the Residency gardens."

Pentagon Releases Rules for Trials of Terrorism Suspects
By R. Jeffrey Smith
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, January 19, 2007
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/18/AR2007011800895....
or

The Defense Department yesterday released its detailed rules for military
trials of terrorism suspects, a move that reignited last year's
controversy over a joint decision by the Bush administration and the
Republican-led Congress to restrict key detainee rights during such
trials.
The 238-page manual, issued after a three-month drafting effort, closely
tracks the Military Commissions Act, approved mostly by Republicans in
September. It incorporates controversial rules blocking a detainee's right
to challenge his or her detention and allowing prosecutors to use hearsay
information or coerced evidence if a military judge rules that it is
reliable and relevant.

The only bit I'd argue with is his 'Where I think Dawkins goes wrong...'
paragraph. It's simply ridiculous to think that a 'saved' denizen of *the
world's most selfish and irresponsibly individualistic nation* would give a
hoot about whether their neighbour was 'saved' as well. Of course, Weinberg
does backtrack a bit afterwards; but even so he's *flat wrong* to say that
'religious toleration is rampant in America' and that 'Americans are fairly
tolerant of us unbelievers': we don't merely have statements like this from
Bush senior:
"Bush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor
should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."

Arabic-language sources in Saudi Arabia have heard that Sharif Ahmed (#2 in
the Islamic Courts Union) has been captured in Kenya. The Saudi embassy in
Nairobi is looking into it, no doubt because Riyadh would like to shelter
Sharif Ahmed in Saudi Arabia, just as they sheltered Idi Amin.
I have no link at this moment to any English-language story about it.
