Oil May Allow Sudan to Escape Sanctions’ Pain

New York Times

The Bush administration’s new sanctions against Sudan aim to squeeze the country’s economy by freezing Sudanese companies out of American financial institutions and curtailing their dollar transactions. Administration officials described the sanctions as a significant move to raise the pressure on Omar Hassan al-Bashir, Sudan’s president, to bring a quick end to the violence in Darfur. But the sanctions will do little to stem Sudan’s oil exports, which are the main source of the country’s wealth, analysts said. They also noted that existing sanctions against Sudan, which date back to 1997, have been unevenly enforced.

Iran Rejects Suspending Nuke Enrichment Ahead of Talks With EU

FoxNews.com

TEHRAN, Iran — On the eve of talks with the European Union foreign policy chief, Iran's nuclear negotiator rejected Wednesday the possibility of Iran suspending its controversial nuclear enrichment program. "Suspension is not the right solution for solving Iran's nuclear issue," the state news agency quoted Ali Larijani as saying before leaving Tehran for Spain. "Past experiences have shown that suspension is not acceptable, at all." Larijani, who arrives in Madrid on Wednesday afternoon, is expected to hold talks with EU's Javier Solana on Thursday.

Immigration: Debate still surrounds 'imperfect bill'

USA Today

WASHINGTON — Immigration overhaul is a top priority of the U.S. business community, which faces a growing array of conflicting state and local laws that require businesses to police workers' immigration status and that impose fines on firms that hire illegal workers. But that doesn't mean businesses — from construction companies to landscapers, high-tech firms to farmers — are pleased with the compromise immigration bill now under debate in Congress. The bill is the result of a deal struck between the Senate and the White House.

U.S. probes Google deal on DoubleClick

United Press

WASHINGTON, May 28 (UPI) -- The Federal Trade Commission has launched an investigation into Google's plan to purchase DoubleClick Inc. for $3.1 billion, The New York Times said. Citing an industry executive who had been briefed on the FTC's preliminary antitrust investigation, the newspaper said the inquiry was opened last week after it was determined that the commission, rather than the Justice Department, should conduct the review. An FTC spokesman Monday told the newspaper the commission does not comment on pending inquiries.

Majority Favor Changing Immigration Laws, Poll Says

New York Times

As opponents from the right and left challenge an immigration bill before Congress, there is broad support among Americans — Democrats, Republicans and independents alike — for the major provisions in the legislation, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. Taking a pragmatic view on a divisive issue, a large majority of Americans want to change the immigration laws to allow illegal immigrants to gain legal status and to create a new guest worker program to meet future labor demand, the poll found. At the same time, Americans have mixed feelings about whether the recent wave of immigration has been beneficial to the country, the survey found, and they are sharply divided over how open the United States should be to future immigrants.

Mosques awarded Homeland Security grants

WorldNetDaily

While the European Union investigates mosques for ties to Islamic terrorism, the U.S. government is giving mosques security grants that are designed to protect churches, synagogues and other nonprofit groups from Islamic terror. Most recently, the Islamic Society of Baltimore landed a $15,000 grant from the Department of Homeland Security to upgrade security at its Maryland mosque. The Council on American-Islamic Relations since April has been urging leaders of mosques and Islamic schools across the nation to apply for the DHS grants, even though the agency's program was set up to help protect nonprofit facilities that are at high risk for attacks by Islamic terrorists.

Minimum Wage Hike Approved

CBS News

(AP) America's lowest paid workers won a $2.10 raise Thursday, with Congress approving the first increase in the federal minimum wage in almost a decade. President Bush was expected to sign the bill quickly, and workers who now make $5.15 an hour will see their paychecks go up by 70 cents per hour before the end of the summer. Another 70 cents will be added next year, and by summer 2009, all minimum wage jobs will pay no less than $7.25 an hour.

Stations Boycott Their Own Gas Over Prices

CBS News

(CBS/AP) It's not just drivers who are sick of high gas prices. Sky-high numbers at the pumps have prompted some Wisconsin service stations to boycott their own high prices and stop selling fuel. With Memorial Day— the traditional start of the summer driving season — upon us, AAA says prices at the pump have continued to rise, though increased supplies might help prices start leveling off in time for the long weekend. It says the national average for regular unleaded gas has topped $3.22 a gallon; that is up 37 cents from a month ago. Illinois had the highest state average price for regular unleaded, $3.52.

Oil Industry Says Biofuel Push May Hurt at Pump

New York Times

Gas prices are spiking again — to an average of $3.22 a gallon, and close to $4 a gallon in many areas. And some oil executives are now warning that the current shortages of fuel could become a long-term problem, leading to stubbornly higher prices at the pump. They point to a surprising culprit: uncertainty created by the government’s push to increase the supply of biofuels like ethanol in coming years.

UN warns on Iran nuclear schedule

BBC NEWS

Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the UN's atomic agency, has said Iran could develop a nuclear weapon in three to eight years if it so chooses. Mr ElBaradei said he wanted to prevent Iran from enriching uranium on an industrial scale and to use talks to ease tensions over its nuclear work. The US says it will press for new sanctions on Iran over its continued failure to suspend uranium enrichment. Iran denies US claims that its nuclear programme has a military aspect. The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency has said Tehran is stepping up enrichment and obstructing inspections.

North American union plan headed to Congress in fall

WorldNetDaily

WASHINGTON – A powerful think tank chaired by former Sen. Sam Nunn and guided by trustees including Richard Armitage, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Harold Brown, William Cohen and Henry Kissinger, is in the final stages of preparing a report to the White House and U.S. Congress on the benefits of integrating the U.S., Mexico and Canada into one political, economic and security bloc. The final report, published in English, Spanish and French, is scheduled for submission to all three governments by Sept. 30, according to the Center for Strategic & International Studies. CSIS boasts of playing a large role in the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 – a treaty that set in motion a political movement many believe resembles the early stages of the European Community on its way to becoming the European Union.

Team working up new strategy for Iraq war

CNN.com

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. military is joining forces with the State Department to prepare a new Iraq strategy that includes negotiating cease-fire and power-sharing agreements with some enemy combatants, U.S. officials said Wednesday. A "joint campaign plan redesign team" is preparing the diplomatic and military strategy for Iraq, which is expected to be approved by the end of the month. The team laying out the new course for how to proceed in the four-year-old war is led by Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker, the officials told CNN. One element of the plan is to try to identify groups of people -- possibly including Sunni extremists and militia groups -- with whom U.S. officials feel they can do business, such as negotiating power-sharing and cease-fire agreements and granting economic aid, the sources said.

Senate Votes to Keep Temporary Worker Program

New York Times

WASHINGTON, May 22 — A comprehensive immigration bill survived a significant test on Tuesday as the Senate voted to keep a provision that would let hundreds of thousands of temporary foreign workers enter the country each year. If the guest worker program, part of the “grand bargain” negotiated with the Bush administration by a bipartisan group of 12 senators, had been stripped from the bill, the fragile deal could have collapsed. Despite the vote on Tuesday, supporters of the bill were clearly on the defensive.

Bush may turn to UN in search for Iraq solution

Drudge Report

The Bush administration is developing plans to "internationalise" the Iraq crisis, including an expanded role for the United Nations, as a way of reducing overall US responsibility for Iraq's future and limiting domestic political fallout from the war as the 2008 election season approaches. The move comes amid rising concern in Washington that President George Bush's controversial Baghdad security surge, led by the US commander, General David Petraeus, is not working and that Iran is winning the clandestine battle for control of Iraq.

Human rights 'eroded worldwide'

BBC NEWS

Powerful governments and armed groups have been deliberately fomenting fear to erode human rights worldwide, a report by Amnesty International says. The group's annual report on human rights says policies like those linked to the "war on terror" are creating a more polarised and dangerous world. It says the world has been impotent in the face of major crises like Darfur. It urges governments to strengthen human rights bodies and defend the rule of law across the globe.

House OKs Suit Against OPEC Over Prices

CBS News

(CBS) Decrying near-record high gasoline prices, the House voted Tuesday to allow the government to sue OPEC over oil production quotas. The White House objected, saying that might disrupt supplies and lead to even higher costs at the pump. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is the cartel that accounts for 40 percent of the world's oil production.

Senate Puts Off Action on Immigration

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate leaders agreed Monday that they would wait until June to take final action on a bipartisan plan to give millions of unlawful immigrants legal status. The measure, which also tightens border security and workplace enforcement measures, unites a group of influential liberals, centrists and conservatives and has White House backing, but it has drawn criticism from across the political spectrum. In a nod to that opposition, Senate leaders won't seek to complete it before a hoped-for Memorial Day deadline. "It would be to the best interests of the Senate ... that we not try to finish this bill this week," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., as the chamber began debate on the volatile issue. "I think we could, but I'm afraid the conclusion wouldn't be anything that anyone wanted."

U.S. and China Set to Discuss Economics

Time

(WASHINGTON)—Both the United States and China are bringing huge delegations for their second round of high-level discussions aimed at lessening economic tensions. But it's unclear whether there will be enough success at meetings beginning Tuesday to blunt growing protectionist pressures in Congress. The Bush administration is expressing the hope that deals will be reached that will expand opportunities for U.S. airlines to fly to China and for U.S. banks and stock brokerage firms to do business there. The meetings were scheduled to open with remarks from Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi.
