Some Dems Wary of Obama's Final Health Push

WASHINGTON -- Rank-and-file Democrats in Congress remain wary of health care legislation in spite of President Barack Obama's closing argument for overhauling the system, well aware that success is far from assured and political perils abound. "I think he has succeeded in prying open a window of opportunity, but it's a very narrow window," said first-term Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. "And he and the leadership here had better clamber through that narrow window while they can." In a speech Wednesday at the White House, Obama called on lawmakers to end a year of legislative struggle and angry public debate and enact legislation ushering in near-universal health coverage for the first time in the country's history. He called for an "up-or-down vote" within weeks under rules denying Republicans the ability to block the bill with a filibuster. "At stake right now is not just our ability to solve this problem, but our ability to solve any problem," the president said. "And so I ask Congress to finish its work,..

Obama czar's shocking communist connections

John Holdren, President Obama's "science czar," served on the board of editors of a magazine whose personnel were accused of providing vital nuclear information that helped the Soviet Union build an atom bomb. The magazine, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, has a long history of employing socialist and communist sympathizers, including during the time of Holdren's employment in 1984, reports the New Zeal blog. Holdren is assistant to...

Rep. Broun: House Dems Fear Pelosi Punishment

Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., tells Newsmax that some House Democrats agree with Republicans on certain healthcare reform issues but can’t publicly support them for fear of retribution from Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Broun, a physician who is on the House Science and Technology Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee, pulls no punches when it comes to his dislike of Obamacare. “Democrats want a total government takeover of the system, and we’ve just got to stop it,” Broun warns in a Newsmax.TV interview. “Government...

Dem rep quits amid sex claim

WASHINGTON -- A freshman congressman, from Western New York announced yesterday that he will retire -- as allegations surfaced that he had sexually harassed a male staffer. Eric Massa (D-Corning) denied reports from House aides on both sides of the aisle that the House Ethics Committee had been informed of harassment allegations. "Those kinds of articles, unsubstantiated without fact or backing, are a symptom of what's wrong with this city [Washington] . . . I do not have the life energy to fight all the battles all the time,"..

Military to Review Sodomy Ban

(CBS/ AP) The Pentagon's chief legal counsel said a nine-month study on gays in the military will likely review rules for troops on sodomy and oral sex. The Uniform Code of Military Justice prohibits sodomy and oral sex, even among consenting adults and married couples. Pentagon General Counsel Jeh Johnson, who is helping to lead a study on the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, said he planned to review all related aspects of the military legal code. When asked by Arkansas Democratic Rep. Vic Snyder whether that review will extend to the rules on...

In D.C., gay couples line up to make it legal

Sinjoyla Townsend was at a courthouse and in tears Wednesday morning. And she wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Ms. Townsend and her partner, Angelisa Young, were the first same-sex couple in line to apply for a marriage license at the H. Carl Moultrie Courthouse. The tears rolled down Ms. Townsend's face as the resident of the District of Columbia basked in silent joy, overcome by the emotion of the day. "No matter where I go in the world now, when I say I'm married, somebody else will truly understand exactly what I'm talking about,"..

Vicars could be sued if they refuse to carry out gay marriages

Traditionalists fear vicars could be taken to court and accused of discrimination if they rejected requests to hold civil partnership ceremonies on religious premises. The warning follows a landmark vote by peers that would allow the ceremonies to be held in places of worship. It is also feared that the changes would blur the line further between marriage, which churches say must be between a man and a woman, and civil partnerships. Until now, civil partnership ceremonies, which give same-sex couples the same legal rights as married spouses,...

US Job Market Could Worsen As Stimulus Money Dries Up

Snow in February is not the last of the stormy weather for the US labor market. The weak rebound in the services sector will be a drag on job creation in the near term. And stubbornly high budget deficits at many states will bring more job cuts as federal stimulus spending declines significantly next year. Congress’ latest bill to extend unemployment benefits and contingency health insurance coverage for several hundred thousand people also underscores the need to stabilize the situation. “The safety net looks very shaky,” says economist...

Global banks warn on rates and house prices

Mortgage rates will rise, home prices will fall and the supply of credit will diminish when the US Federal Reserve and other central banks wind down emergency programmes, a group of global banks warned on Wednesday. In a stark prediction for the fallout of the end to the Fed’s programme of purchasing mortgage-backed securities, the Institute of International Finance’s Market Monitoring Group cautioned that there would be “considerable repercussions for mortgage rates and home prices”. The IIF represents the world’s biggest financial...

China's investments in U.S. up sharply

Reporting from Washington - Made in China now has a fast-growing sibling: Bought by China. Beijing is using its accumulation of billions of American dollars to step up its investments around the globe. In the last year, Chinese acquisitions in the U.S. have ranged from a relatively obscure theater in Branson, Mo., to stakes in such famous brands as Coca-Cola and Johnson & Johnson. China's huge stockpile of dollars stems in part from Americans' enormous purchases of relatively inexpensive Chinese manufactured goods and the significantly...

EU forces drastic measures to cut Greece's bloated deficit

Athens yesterday unveiled its plan to trim its big, fat Greek budget deficit, with the brunt of the pain borne by civil servants -- but it remained unclear whether the European Union would be impressed enough to provide Greece with much-needed financial aid. "We have fulfilled to the utmost all that we must from our side; now it's Europe's turn," a somewhat defiant Prime Minister George Papandreou said in unveiling his plan to wring more than $6.5 billion out of Greece's bloated deficit. However, German Chancellor Angela Merkel seemed...

Google China hackers stole source code - researcher

BOSTON (Reuters) - The hackers behind the attacks on Google Inc (GOOG.O) and dozens of other companies operating in China stole valuable computer source code by breaking into the personal computers of employees with privileged access, a security firm said on Wednesday. The hackers targeted a small number of employees who controlled source code management systems, which handle the myriad changes that developers make as they write software, said George Kurtz, chief technology officer at anti-virus software maker McAfee Inc (MFE.N)...

Fear and loathing as the hedge funds take on the euro

Fears of a hedge fund "conspiracy" to destroy the euro gathered pace yesterday when the American authorities ordered some funds not to destroy records of their trading in the single currency. The move comes after the US Federal Reserve promised to probe claims that the use of credit derivatives by Goldman Sachs had, ironically, helped Greece enter the eurozone a decade ago. Although the latest Greek austerity plan helped to calm markets and nudged the euro higher against the dollar, traders warned that the euro's traumas were far from over...

Sarkozy: I will organize a new international financial system

MARIGNANE, France (Dow Jones)--French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Thursday he will propose an overhaul of the global monetary system by the end of the year, to stave off the loss of industrial competitiveness coming from foreign-exchange imbalances. "If the U.S. dollar loses 50% of its value to the euro, how can it be possible to make up the loss of competitiveness?" Sarkozy said to workers in a Eurocopter plant ...

NATO plans military exercises near Russian border

NATO has announced it will hold military exercises involving fighter planes over the Baltic Sea this month, the first in a series of military drills to be held this year near the Russian border. The Baltic Region Training Event training mission will take place over the former Soviet republics of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, and will involve French Mirage 2000C, Polish F-16, and Lithuanian L-39 Albatross fighters, along with U.S. aerial tankers. The exercises will demonstrate "NATO solidarity and commitment to its member countries in the Baltic...

Ethiopia famine aid 'spent on weapons'

Millions of dollars in Western aid for victims of the Ethiopian famine of 1984-85 was siphoned off by rebels to buy weapons, a BBC investigation finds. Former rebel leaders told the BBC that they posed as merchants in meetings with charity workers to get aid money. They used the cash to fund attempts to overthrow the government of the time. One rebel leader estimated $95m (£63m) - from Western governments and charities including Band Aid - was channelled into the rebel fight. The CIA, in a 1985 assessment entitled Ethiopia: Political and...

Respected Danish journalist admits 'I was a Mossad agent'

There have always been journalists who "crossed the lines" and switched to being spokespersons, advisers or investigators of bodies that were previously the object of their coverage and commentary. There have presumably always been journalists whose work serves as a cover for clandestine work, but only a few are willing to admit it. One such person is Herbert Pundik (Nahum Pundak), a veteran Israeli-Danish journalist with an international reputation who a week ago in an interview with the Danish daily Dagbladet Information...

The FBI's botched post-9/11 anthrax investigation and how the media misreported it

Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) and Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) deserve enormous credit and thanks for leading the congressional effort to hold the FBI accountable over its bungling of the investigation into the post-9/11 anthrax attacks that killed five Americans. The FBI has officially “closed” the case and conveniently blames a dead man, who committed suicide under FBI pressure, for the anthrax murders. The FBI blames “the late Dr. Bruce Ivins” and claims that he “acted alone in planning and executing these attacks.” But the “evidence” is...

HIV/Aids is leading killer of women of reproductive age worldwide

One of the most significant factors contributing to the spread of the deadly illness is that up to 70 per cent of women worldwide are forced to have unprotected sexual intercourse, UNAids said. The UN Aids agency and Annie Lennox, the Scottish singer, unveiled a five-year action plan amid a two-week conference in New York. The UN Millennium Development goals, adopted in 2000, included halting and...

Texas health department sent infants’ blood samples to US Armed Forces lab

When state health officials were sued last year for storing infant blood samples without parental consent, they said it was for medical research into birth defects, childhood cancer and environmental toxins. They never said they were turning over hundreds of dried blood samples to the federal government to help build a vast DNA database — a forensics tool designed to identify missing persons and crack cold cases...

Genetically modified pork one step closer to dinner table

OTTAWA — Genetically engineered pigs are one step closer to becoming meat on Canadian kitchen tables with the federal government poised to declare that they do not harm the environment. Canwest News Service has learned Environment Canada has determined that Yorkshire pigs developed at the University of Guelph are not toxic to the environment under the Canadian Environmental Protection...

Chile earthquake: president Michelle Bachelet 'failed to grasp scale of devastation'

As the first supplies began trickling into worst-affected areas on Wednesday, , 58, was subjected to a storm of anger that her government’s failed response to the disaster.

Top US officer says military too dominant in foreign policy

The US military still plays too dominant a role in American foreign policy and Washington needs to place a higher priority on diplomacy and "soft power," the top American officer said on Wednesday. The military is a vital tool of national power but "should never be the only tool," Admiral Mike Mullen said in a speech at Kansas State University. "US foreign policy is still too dominated by the military -- too dependent upon the generals and admirals...

'Arabs may have targeted Mabhouh'

Following the assassination of Hamas terrorist Mahmoud al-Mabhouh on Jan. 19 in UAE's capital Dubai, sources from the group charged on Tuesday that certain Arab countries may have been complicit in the hit. Sources reportedly said that before the killing, Jordanian and Egyptian intelligence agencies had tracked Mabhouh. The original report from...

Italian police smash 'Iran weapons smuggling gang'

Seven people were arrested yesterday on suspicion of supplying explosives and hi-tech military equipment to Tehran, including alleged Iranian secret service agents. Investigators said the two Iranians and five Italians were involved in a plot to export tracer bullets, precision sights and explosives to Iran via third countries, including Britain, Romania and Dubai. The move came amid heightened tension between Iran and the West with growing...

New woe for Vatican as usher linked to prostitution

Ghinedu Ehiem, a Nigerian, was dismissed by the Vatican on Wednesday from the Giulia Choir after his name appeared in transcripts of police wiretaps, published by an Italian newspaper, in an unrelated Italian investigation. The wiretaps were carried out in connection with a probe into corruption in contracts to build public works, including the planned venue in Sardinia...

VANCOUVER -- Transport Canada investigators on Wednesday were still trying to determine the source of two pieces of falling ice, one of which crashed into a home in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond late last month damaging a patio roof.
