From the Anchorage Daily News, Oct. 10, 2008: One of the nation’s best-known retired Army generals, Colin Powell, described Sen. Ted Stevens in court today as a “trusted individual” and a man with a “sterling” reputation. “He was someone whose word you could rely on,” said Powell, secretary of state in President Bush’s first term, who self-deprecatingly described himself as someone who retired as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and then “dabbled a bit in diplomacy.” In an editorial titled “Following [in] Afghanistan’s Footsteps,” published October 8, 2008 in the London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, editor-in-chief Tariq Al-Homayed warned that under Hamas’s rule, Gaza was becoming like Afghanistan—a hotbed of poverty, violence and strife among armed factions. He called on the Arabs to take a firm stand against Hamas, saying that it was undermining the Palestinian cause and was also a real threat to Egypt. Following are excerpts from the article, as it appeared in the English-language edition of the paper. Telos Editorial Associate Adrian Pabst comments on the standing of relations between the EU and Russia in the Moscow Times. |
