Why One Newspaper Agreed To Publish Leaked Cables: The Incompetence Of Governments
Publishing these documents highlights the very basic lie of the bargain: "you allow us to act in secrecy, and we'll protect you." In reality, neither part appears to be true. The powerful machinery of state is designed to suppress the flow of truth and to keep secrets secret. We have seen in recent weeks how that machine has been put into action to try to limit the damage caused by the WikiLeaks revelations.
( Excellent example of spinning disinformation : Egyptians become Muslims and Mossad becomes 'Jews'. A story of Black Ops by known experts becomes 'religious persecution'. No wonder 'Zionist Media Control' is cited as being the norm worldwide. There is no righteousness in hiding behind claims of persecution while practising it. )
The West's relationship with the Middle East hasn't changed much in the past millennium.
The First Crusade began because Muslim Turks invaded Byzantine Christian territory centered in Constantinople. Rather than simply defend those lands, though, the Crusaders opted to add on something entirely unrelated: Jerusalem. The U.S. invasion of Iraq following the 9/11 attacks follows a similar illogic. Military victory then and now proved quick and simple compared with the aftermath.
The Crusades aren't just a true-life allegory of current world conflicts. In various ways, they're a major part of the reason those conflicts exist.
( Kinda sorta. Why not say the same forces driving Conquest then are 'justifying' foreign murder in tried and tested ways ? )

Facebook Generation Fights Hungarian Media Law
The new law runs to 228 paragraphs covering the powers of the watchdog -- the National Media and Communications Authority -- which will now be tasked with monitoring supposedly objectionable activities by journalists in both the public and the privately funded media. The chairman of the new watchdog, who has been appointed for no fewer than nine years, can impose hefty fines for "politically unbalanced reporting;" up to 25 million forints ($119,000) for print and online media, and up to 200 million forints ($950,000) for transgressions by radio and television stations. What's more, Hungary's journalists will be forced to reveal their sources whenever "national security" is deemed to be at risk.
Historian Michael Stürmer spoke of Orbán's "Führer state" in an interview with Germany's Die Welt newspaper, while Hungarian writer György Konrád drew parallels between the Nazi Party in 1933 and Orbán's center-right Fidesz Party, which has a two-thirds majority in parliament and can thus change the constitution.
Forty-nine-year-old Annamaria Szalai is the woman anointed as Hungary's media czar. The former elementary school music teacher and faithful Fidesz foot-soldier now has a heavy burden on her shoulders. Perhaps that is why she has disappeared.

At a temperature of 30.1 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 73.8 bar, CO2 goes into a supercritical state that gives the gas solvent-like properties. In this state, it can be introduced into polymers, or act as a "carrier" in which dyes, additives, medical compounds and other substances can be dissolved.
Protein Wields Phosphate Group to Inhibit Cancer Metastasis; Tagging an Enzyme With Chemical Also Is Crucial to Bone Cell Formation In addition to highlighting a novel anti-cancer pathway, the team found that the same deactivation of the enzyme called EZH2 is necessary for the formation of bone-forming cells from the stem cells that make them and other tissues.
"EZH2 is overexpressed in aggressive solid tumors and tied to cancer progression and metastasis," said the paper's senior author, Mien-Chie Hung, Ph.D., professor and chair of MD Anderson's Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology. "We have found that another protein, CDK1, deactivates EZH2."
China boasts breakthrough in nuclear technology
Chinese scientists have made a breakthrough in spent fuel reprocessing technology that could potentially solve China's uranium supply problem.
"With the new technology, China's existing detected uranium resources can be used for 3,000 years," Chinese Central Television reported.
