- "How
Kenya came undone: Long-simmering ethnic tensions
threaten to tear apart East Africa's most stable, prosperous country."
... "While the most recent spark for the violence was the deeply flawed
elections in which Mr. [Mwai] Kibaki was declared president, the underlying
source of the country's tension is a perception that one ethnic group –
Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe – has unfairly benefited from the nation's wealth
solely because of its proximity to people in power. Resentment between
Kenya's ethnic communities is chronic, observers say, but mistrust of Kikuyus
has been building ever since Kenya's first president, Jomo Kenyatta, took
power after independence from Britain in 1963." ... "Under Mr. Kenyatta
– himself a Kikuyu – Kikuyus rose to high positions in government, took
over major firms, and bought much of the farm land sold off by departing
white settlers in the fertile Rift Valley. But it took a sense of betrayal
to produce the violence of today, experts say. In 2002, a remarkably broad
coalition of opposition leaders from different ethnic groups overthrew
the 24-year dictatorship of President Daniel arap Moi. The new government
signed a memorandum of understanding to share power." ... "But in 2003,
Kibaki revoked that agreement and went back to the old habit of filling
government positions – including, crucially, the Electoral Commission of
Kenya – with personal allies and members of his own ethnic group, the Kikuyus.
Furious at what they considered a betrayal, and cut off from access to
power, former allies such as populist opposition leader Raila Odinga –
a member of the Luo ethnic group who claims that he won the Dec. 27 vote
– broke from the government and started a campaign for "majimbo,"
Swahili for self-rule, and resistance to Kikuyu domination." ... "For most
Kenyans, this tribal fight is not just about the presidency, but land –
the ultimate source of wealth in a mainly agricultural society. And the
Rift Valley – Kenya's bread basket – is the main battlefield, as small
"indigenous" armies with bows, arrows, and machetes march to expel the
Kikuyu "newcomers."" ... "Some politicians used radio broadcasts to spread
hatred against Kikuyus, and proclaimed that the time had come to remove
the "weeds" from their lands." ... "Stoked with hate, the ethnic clashes
began in earnest, particularly in the areas where Kikuyus had settled in
the Rift Valley. Between the elections of 1992 and 1997, more than 2,000
Kenyans were killed and more than 300,000 Kenyans were displaced, most
of them Kikuyus." ... "Politicians have used the belief that Kikuyus control
the economy as a battle cry, pitting Kikuyus as the perpetual "haves" against
the Luos, Kalenjins, and other tribes as the perpetual "have-nots."" (1,

- "Clinton,

days ahead of South Carolina's Democratic presidential primary, [2008 Election
Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary] Clinton aired a radio ad here
ridiculing [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack] Obama's
recent comments about Republican ideas." ... ""Aren't those the ideas that
got us into the economic mess we're in today?" the ad's narrator asks."
... "Obama, an Illinois senator who would be the first black U.S. [United
States] president, responded later in the day with his own radio ad bluntly
confronting Clinton." ... ""Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected,"
the narrator of Obama's ad says. "She'll say anything and change nothing.""
... ""Now she's making false attacks on Barack Obama," the ad's narrator
says." ... ""She championed NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement),
even though it has cost South Carolina thousands of jobs. And worst of
all, it was Hillary Clinton who voted for [Republican President] George
Bush's war in Iraq."" (1, 2,

- "Advertisers
Drop Savage Over Hateful Remarks, USO Hints At Suit."
... "At least four major firms have pulled advertising from Michael Savage's
nationally syndicated radio show following a campaign highlighting his
inflammatory rhetoric. One other company, Geico insurance, is expected
to follow suit." ... "The campaign, launched
recently by Brave New Films, generated thousands of calls urging advertisers
on the Savage Nation show to sever financial ties to the widely popular
(and frequently offensive) talk host." ... "The USO [United Service Organizations],
a non-profit that does work for U.S. [United States] armed forces, wrote
Brave New Films complaining about being targeted and even hinting at a
lawsuit." ... ""Considering the USO's role in the world," said Leighton
Woodhouse, a spokesperson for Brave New Films, "we would have expected
them to be the first to distance themselves from someone who is deliberately
fanning the flames of hatred between Muslims and non-Muslims; we were sorely
disappointed."" -By Sam

hits Obama on independent ads." ... "[2008 Election
Democratic Presidential Candidate] John Edwards said Friday that [2008
Election Democratic Presidential Candidate] Barack Obama needs to “speak
up, if he really means what he says” about ending divisive politics and
denounce a Nevada ad funded by an independent group that supports the Illinois
senator’s presidential bid." ... ""Everyone pledged that this kind of divisive
politics that divides the Democratic Party, and could divide America, would
come to an end. [Senator] Sen. Obama made that pledge, I was sitting five
feet from him when he made it," Edwards told the crowd at a Nevada campaign
event." ... "“And now it turns out that in the last 24 hours there's a
radio ad, a malicious radio ad, attacking [Senator] Sen. Clinton. That
is exactly the kind of divisive politics. It's being run right here, in
Las Vegas [Nevada]. I denounce it. This kind of ad, I don't care who's
doing it — in this case it's [Senator] Sen. Obama's supporters — but this
sort of thing needs to stop.["]" ... "“And from what I've seen, [Senator]
Sen. Obama has not said a single word about this. Nothing. When two days
ago, three days ago, he said on a stage in front of America and said, 'This
kind of politics has no place in America,’” said Edwards." ... "“He should
speak up, if he really means what he says, and this is not just talk, he
should speak up and denounce this type of divisive politics.”" ... "John
Edwards was criticized by Obama in Iowa for not calling an independent
group that supported the former North Carolina senator to demand they pull
ads they were running in support of his candidacy." -By

Edwards campaigns blast radio ads backing Obama."
... "The campaigns of [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidates]
Hillary Clinton and John Edwards took aim at [2008 Election Democratic
Presidential Candidate] Barack Obama Thursday over radio ads in Nevada
funded by a third-party group that is backing his candidacy." ... "The
buy is allegedly being funded by the Unite Here Campaign Committee on behalf
of the Culinary Workers Union, which has endorsed Obama." ... "On a conference
call with reporters late this afternoon, Hispanic supporters of Clinton’s
presidential candidacy criticized the union for incorrectly implying that
“Si Se Puede” – a slogan associated with the late activist Cesar Chavez
– was also the Obama campaign’s official slogan." ... "John Edwards was
criticized by Obama in Iowa for not calling an independent group that supported
the former North Carolina senator to demand they pull ads they were running
in support of his candidacy. “When Sen. Obama says ‘turn the page,’ he
obviously means turn to whatever page is most convenient. He loudly and
repeatedly attacked independent ads by unions in Iowa as the product of
special interests,” said Edwards Deputy Campaign Manager Jonathan Prince."
... "“But when a different outside group starts running ads on his behalf
in Nevada, there's not a peep from him or his campaign. It must be because
he's burning up the phone lines calling the head of Unite Here personally
to demand he pulls the ads down right away.”" -By

Voices on Recording May Not Have Been From Iranian Speedboats:
Chilling Threat Could Have Come From the Shore or Another Ship, Navy Says."
... "Just two days after the U.S. [United States] Navy released the eerie
video of Iranian speedboats swarming around American warships, which featured
a chilling threat in English, the Navy is saying that the voice on the
tape could have come from the shore or from another ship." ... "The near-clash
occurred over the weekend in the Strait of Hormuz. On the U.S.-released
recording, a voice can be heard saying to the Americans, "I am coming to
you. You will explode after a few minutes."" ... "The Navy never said specifically
where the voices came from, but many were left with the impression they
had come from the speedboats because of the way the Navy footage was edited."
... "The Iranians have denied using the threatening language and are saying
U.S.-released video is fabricated." (1, 2)

- "Declassified
study puts Vietnam events in new light: US [United
States] signals intelligence [SIGINT] during the war came up short in major
turning points, according to an NSA [National Security Agency] history."
... "US signals intelligence – the much-vaunted ability of American military
and spy units to eavesdrop on the radio calls and other electronic communications
of an adversary – failed at crucial moments during the Vietnam War, according
to a just-declassified National Security Agency history of the effort."
... "The 10,000 cryptographers and other signals personnel in Southeast
Asia at the time did not predict the start of the Tet offensive on Jan.
31, 1968. Prior to that, signals intelligence may have actually misled
[Democratic] President Johnson and other top policymakers about the nature
of the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, in which a supposed North Vietnamese
attack on US forces triggered a major escalation in the war." ... "US eavesdroppers
had many successes during the war, according to the lengthy document, particularly
in picking up the tactical communications of North Vietnamese and Viet
Cong fighters in the field." ... "But when it comes to major events, signals
intelligence is not magic, as the history makes clear. That is a point
current policymakers would do well to remember as they struggle to interpret
intelligence dealing with the complex modern problems of nuclear proliferation
and Islamist extremism." ... "In both the Tet and Gulf of Tonkin cases,
"critical information was mishandled, misinterpreted, lost, or ignored,"
writes NSA historian Robert Hanyok in the agency history. " -By
