The Christian Science Monitor - The 'WHITE MAN'S' Neocon News Rag
Task ahead: how to be a spy czar
Negroponte's confirmation hearing hints at strategies.
By Peter Grier and Faye Bowers Staff writers of The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON – Experts to John Negroponte: If confirmed by the Senate, you'll be the first true czar of US intelligence. Make sure you act the part. Redirect a spy satellite. Change some figures in a budget. Fire somebody. Or promote them.
Don't pick a fight for a fight's sake, but throw your weight around at the first good opportunity - and make sure the White House goes along.
Bringing the case against judges
Are 'activist judges' ruining America? That's the fear of a newly formed coalition of religious conservatives who are urging Congress to push back.
By Jane Lampman Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON – 'Activist judges" are out of control and waging a war on faith, religious conservatives are charging. That's why - even as the United States Senate prepares for a battle over the president's judicial nominations - a conservative coalition is working to broaden the fight to the federal judiciary as a whole. Its ultimate goal is to force Congress to rein in the judges.
Drilling where antelope play
Even as natural-gas wellheads proliferate, new strategies aim to lessen environmental impact
By Todd Wilkinson Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor PINEDALE, WYO. – On a windswept butte in the upper Green River valley, biologist Steve Belinda watches a herd of pronghorn antelope as a line of red Halliburton trucks rumble down a dusty road below.
In front of him is an intersection of sprouting gas derricks, nomadic wildlife, and, on the horizon, the serrated caps of the Wind River mountain range. The convergence of the three is creating a clash here in western Wyoming as part of one of the largest energy booms in United States history.

Analysis: Instead of friendship - disagreements
By Aluf Benn, Haaretz Correspondent
CRAWFORD, Texas - The news conference George Bush and Ariel Sharon held at the U.S. president's ranch felt like there was something a little off. Instead of conveying friendship and partnership, the two leaders exposed their disagreements. The tremendous effort invested in flying the prime minister here, in staging a fabulous photo op, and in tedious preparatory talks by aides, was overshadowed by arguments over construction in the settlements and the way to get the peace process moving after the withdrawal from Gaza and northern Samaria.

Arafat's feminist legacy
By Amira Hass
It could be that if the late Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat were still alive, the demonstration that is planned for one of the next few days would not have to be held. It could be that Arafat would have made some members of the Palestinian Legislative Council change their minds and vote in favor of the provision in the Elections Law that is clearly aimed at creating more cracks in the patriarchal social tradition. But in the absence of the father figure, whose wish was his command, the snail's pace of the hard work that a coalition of feminist and pro-feminist organizations has been investing to advance women's participation in political life is even more evident.

PM: If pullout coordinated with PA, homes to remain
By Aluf Benn, Haaretz Correspondent, Haaretz Service and Agencies
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was quoted Wednesaday as having told administration officials that Israel would refrain from destroying the homes of settlers in the Gaza Strip if the disengagement plan is coordinated with Palestinian officials.
"The homes of settlers in Gush Katif will not be destroyed after the evacuation if the disengagement plan will be carried out in coordination with the Palestinians," Army Radio quoted Sharon as saying at the close of his talks with senior U.S. officials.

In surprise win, Fatah beats Hamas at Bir Zeit University elections
By Arnon Regular, Haaretz Correspondent
Fatah defeated Hamas in a surprise victory in elections for the student council of Bir Zeit University in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
The voting at the university is thought to be representative of the power struggle between the two organizations, as the campaigns for Palestinian Authority local elections set for May 5 swing into their final phase.
The Bir Zeit student council, which had always been led by Hamas activists, was handed over to Fatah, which won 23 seats on the council, versus 22 for Hamas.

Thousands attending funeral of lyricist Ehud Manor
By Haaretz Staff and Reuters
Thousands of people turned out Wednesday afternoon for the funeral of Israel Prize laureate Ehud Manor, who died Tuesday.
Manor, one of Israel's most prolific and best-loved songwriters, passed away early Tuesday morning in his Tel Aviv apartment at the age of 64. His widow said he collapsed early Tuesday of an apparent heart attack.
Some of Israel's most famous singers were to perform at the funeral, which began at 2 P.M. in Manor's birthplace of Binyamina. Those set to sing included Matti Caspi, Hanan Yuval and Gali Atari.

Jaljulya man latest in series of rape arrests
By Roni Singer, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service
A resident of Jaljulya aged 39 was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of raping a 20-year-old woman he had held for two days against her will in an abandoned house in Tel Aviv.
The suspect was arrested in Tel Aviv after detectives from the Yarkon region spotted him entering the building on Yehuda Halevi Street. The police officers followed him inside, where they discovered the woman.
She told them that the suspect, with whom she had previously had an acquaintance, had taken her there early in the week, locked her up and raped her. The suspect will be brought for an extension of his remand Wednesday.

The borders were marked in Texas
In Texas on Monday, George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon marked out the furthest borders that any Israeli prime minister can dream of: at most - and even that is not without conditions and not necessarily so - they will be the eastern line around the major Israeli population centers (settlement blocs) in the territories, including - by implication - the post-1967 Jerusalem neighborhoods.
It's doubtful Israel will ever find a friendlier president than Bush, and one more combative toward its enemies. If he drew that line, for his guest Sharon and the world watching them, it means that any campaign to save dozens of settlements and tens of thousands of settlers who are outside that line is doomed from the start. Many Israelis, who have long hoped for a compromise based on the 1967 lines, won't regard that as a defeat, but just the opposite. But others, including those who have been in power for years or on the rightist flanks that made things difficult for governments, play with the delusion of holding onto all the settlements of the West Bank.

Bush is from Mars, Sharon is from Venus
By Aluf Benn
WASHINGTON - It is difficult to describe a pair more different from one another than George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon. The physical differences are obvious. One is from a tiny village in mandate-era Palestine, the other the son of patrician Americans. One is an eternal opposition figure who barely made it to the top, and the other is a president son of a president. One is a warrior and general and the other a rear guard pilot whose national service is a matter of controversy. At least their farms are about the same size.

OIL AND WATER. Literally. The Christian Science Monitor advocates the drilling for and use of oil with complete disregard to the well being of populous all over Earth and the destruction of biota leading to extinctional Climate Change.
I wonder why ANY OTHER Ethnoreligious paper doesn't appear on this segment? Could it be they all have agendas of peace rather than war? Yeah. I think so.
What Sharon forgot to tell the Jews
By Nathan Guttman
WASHINGTON - When aides to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon began planning his trip to the United States, they included a visit to Los Angeles, where Sharon was supposed to spend time with the city's large Jewish community. But by the time the plan got to the execution stage, it was decided to forgo Los Angeles, for lack of sufficient time. The American Jewish community will have to make do with a meeting between Sharon and several leaders of major organizations at his hotel in Washington.
