AZcentral.com

Key portions of the documentary focus on Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser of Phoenix and his American Islamic Forum for Democracy, a non-profit organization of Muslim Americans who advocate patriotism, constitutional democracy and a separation of church and state.

Diabetics Cured by Stem-cell Treatment

Times On Line

Diabetics using stem-cell therapy have been able to stop taking insulin injections for the first time, after their bodies started to produce the hormone naturally again. In a breakthrough trial, 15 young patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes were given drugs to suppress their immune systems followed by transfusions of stem cells drawn from their own blood.

Cuomo: School Loan Corruption Widespread

ABC News

ALBANY, N.Y. Apr 10, 2007 (AP)— Cozy arrangements between colleges and the companies that lend their students billions of dollars are far more widespread than anticipated, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo told The Associated Press Tuesday, just as two more college financial aid officers were suspended amid a probe into the $85 billion industry. Cuomo would not divulge where the burgeoning investigation is headed next, including whether more subpoenas are on the way. But he said the investigation could lead to criminal charges against high-ranking officials at both lending companies and universities.

Red Cross: Iraq situation 'ever-worsening'

CNN.com

GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) -- The situation for civilians in Iraq is "ever-worsening," even though security in some places has improved as a result of stepped-up efforts by U.S.-led multinational forces, the international Red Cross said Wednesday. It is difficult to determine the numbers of people killed in shootings, bombings and military operations, but the overall picture of what is happening the country has been steadily deteriorating, with numbers of refugees swelling, medical staff fleeing and other problems growing, a key official said. "It is clear that the security situation has improved in certain instances," especially in southern Iraq, said Pierre Kraehenbuehl, director of operations of the International Committee of the Red Cross, or ICRC.

Pressure Groups Shaping Press Coverage Exposed

WorldNetDaily.com

ABC News reporter Bill Blakemore said he doesn't "like the word 'balance' much at all" when it comes to global warming. "After extensive searches, ABC News has found no (scientific) debate" on whether the planet is warming as a result of man's activity, he said in his network report Aug. 30. But just how extensive was that search? A few months later, in an appearance before the Society for Environmental Journalists, Blakemore said there is no need for reporters to seek balance in stories about the topic of global warming. "It was very lazy of us for 10 years when we were asked for balance from the spinners," he said. "We just gave up and said, 'OK, OK – I will put the other side on; OK, are you happy now?' And it saves us from the trouble of having to check out the fact that these other sides were the proverbial flat earth society." Blakemore, says a new book by Joseph Farah, founder of WND and a former editor in chief of major-market daily newspapers, is an example the organized social and political activists who have invaded America's newsrooms, subverting long-established guidelines and ethics codes calling for accuracy, fairness, balance and the avoidance of conflict of interest in journalism. "If you really want to understand how America's great and unique institution of a free press has been deliberately undermined by radical activists masquerading as journalists, backed by big business and encouraged by big government, you have to examine this phenomenon," says Farah, author of "Stop the Presses: The Inside Story of the New Media Revolution," hitting the nation's bookstores for official release today. The Society for Environmental Journalists is one of the "activist pressure groups" Farah cites as working within the press to promote a political agenda under the guise of reporting the news. The agenda for the next national conference, to be held in Stanford, Calif., in September, doesn't leave much doubt about where the organization stands on global warming. The topics include: Changing with Climate Change: Can Industries, Investors and Insurers Adapt? Nature Out of Sync: Why Are Trees Flowering in January? Feverish Temperatures: Human Health on a Warmer Planet Climate Change Policy: Spinning, Sinking or Swimming?

Iran Has Shares in French Nuclear Facility

Sunday Herald

WESTERN GOVERNMENTS have been accused of "stunning hypocrisy" after it was revealed that Iran has a 10% stake in the world's largest uranium enrichment plant in France. All the time that Britain, France and the US have been pressing the Iranian government to cease enriching uranium, the Islamic republic has been reaping multimillion pound dividends from its shareholding in Eurodif, an international enrichment plant at Pierrelatte in southern France. Because of its involvement, Iran has also been learning more about the latest enrichment technology. It claims that it only wants to enrich uranium to improve its performance as a fuel in nuclear power stations, but Western nations are worried that it will be used to make nuclear bombs.

98% of Illegals Arrested Were Not Prosecuted

News Max

EL PASO, Texas -- For all the tough talk in Washington on immigration, illegal aliens caught along the Mexican border have almost no reason to fear they will be prosecuted. Ninety-eight percent of those arrested between Oct. 1, 2000, and Sept. 30, 2005, were never prosecuted for illegally entering the country, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data. Those 5.2 million aliens were simply escorted back across the Rio Grande and turned loose. Many presumably tried to slip into the United States again.

Iran Set to Announce Nuclear Plans on Monday

Reuters

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's president has promised to disclose news about Iran's nuclear program when he visits its uranium enrichment facility on Monday where the West says Iran is mastering the skills needed to make atomic bombs. Iran has rejected U.N. demands to halt enrichment, a process than can make power plant fuel or material for warheads, and has instead vowed to expand what it insists is peaceful atomic work. Diplomats speculate President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could announce that Iran has installed more centrifuges, the machines used in the enrichment process, at the Natanz facility in central Iran. But Iranian officials have been tightlipped. "If you wait 24 hours, you will all find out," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini told a Sunday news conference when asked what the president would announce. Journalists will accompany the president with senior officials from Iran's Atomic Energy Organization to the site about 200 km (125 miles) south of Tehran. Ahmadinejad, who said in February he would announce "great" nuclear achievements in the days to April 9, is expected to hold a news conference. Sunday's Jam-e Jam newspaper wrote: "The installation and start up of 3,000 centrifuges and the injection of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas will be announced by the president." UF6 gas is fed into centrifuges as feedstock.

Taliban Behead Afghan Translator

CNN

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) -- The kidnapped translator for an Italian journalist was beheaded in southern Afghanistan, Afghan authorities and a purported spokesman for the Taliban said. Ajmal Naqshbandi, a freelance journalist and translator, was kidnapped along with a driver and Daniele Mastrogiacomo of the Italian daily La Repubblica, in southern Helmand province on March 5. The driver, Sayed Agha, was beheaded, and Mastrogiacomo was released March 19 in a much criticized swap for five Taliban militants.

GOP Stem-cell Bill Threatens Liberal Rival

The Washington Times

The White House's endorsement last week of a Republican-crafted stem-cell research bill that its authors say doesn't promote the destruction of embryos could doom a more liberal version for the second consecutive year. The Democratic bill, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, proposed to expand funding for researching all new lines of human embryonic stem cells, regardless of their age. Proponents say the Nevada Democrat's bill could jump-start research that potentially could save millions of lives, while critics say it's an unethical and immoral use of government money.

President Renewing Efforts on Immigration

The Washington Post

President Bush will relaunch his push for an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws today in Arizona, with a fresh speech on the border and a new congressional leadership that is friendlier to his views, but with the same dynamics that scuttled his last attempt: a cooperative Senate but bipartisan opposition in the House.

Officials: Iraqi Prime Minister Barred From Iranian Airspace

FoxNews.com

BAGHDAD — Iran refused to allow the Iraqi prime minister to fly across its airspace as he was traveling to Tokyo, members of the delegation traveling with Nouri al-Maliki told The Associated Press early Sunday. The delegation members said al-Maliki's plane was diverted on Saturday night to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where al-Maliki stayed in the airport for more than three hours while his government aircraft was refueled and a new flight plan was filed. Two members of the delegation told AP about the incident by telephone from Dubai. A government official in Baghdad confirmed their account. All spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information.

Pope celebrates Easter Mass on steps of St. Peter's Basilica

USA Today

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Easter Sunday Mass on the flower-adorned steps of St. Peter's Basilica as thousands of pilgrims and tourists jammed St. Peter's Square to join in the service and later receive his blessing. "Peace be with you," the pope said, using the Latin "Pax vobis" at the start of the celebration. Choir boys rubbed their eyes as they squinted into a hazy sun. Their voices rang across the square as the head of the Roman Catholic Church led the faithful in the celebration of the Christianity's most important feast day.

CNN.com

• House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met with leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood • Muslim Brotherhood is outlawed but tolerated by Egyptian government • Organization renounced violence in 1970s • Meeting on the heels of Rep. Nancy Pelosi's visit to Syria over Bush's objection CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- A top U.S. Democratic congressman met a leader of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's most powerful rival, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, U.S. officials and the Islamist group said Saturday. Visiting House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met with the head of the Muslim Brotherhood's parliamentary bloc, Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, twice on Thursday -- once at the parliament building and then at the home of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, said Brotherhood spokesman Hamdi Hassan. U.S. Embassy spokesman John Berry would confirm only that Hoyer, who represents Maryland, met with el-Katatni at U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardone's home at a reception with other politicians and parliament members. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has refused in the past to meet with the Muslim Brotherhood, the country's largest opposition group.

Iran: Sailors' Press Conference 'A Show'

Breitbat.com

Iran's state television said the British military "dictated" to its sailors what to say in a press conference on Friday. The former captives told reporters they were pressured while in custody to admit to being in Iranian waters. In its news report on the sailors, Iranian state TV said they held a "pre-organised" press conference in which "the British sailors only read from pages dictated to them." "They made statements completely different from what they had said in Iran and claimed that they were in Iraqi waters when detained," the TV newsreader said.

Illegal Border-Crossers Rarely Prosecuted

EL PASO, Texas, April 7, 2007 (AP) For all the tough talk out of Washington on immigration, illegal immigrants caught along the Mexican border have almost no reason to fear they will be prosecuted.
