Libby a Long-Time Mossad Agent
By Wayne Madsen
Policeman bugged rich and famous
His clients included celebrities, business tycoons, multi-millionaires and even a judge, and the AIS boss did not hesitate to tap private landlines, raid confidential medical records or hack into computers to get the information they demanded.
Alleged Madam Can Share Phone Numbers
The alleged 'D.C. Madam' can now share those much-speculated phone numbers with anyone she wants.
The judge in Deborah Jeane Palfrey's racketeering case has ruled the phone records are Palfrey's personal property, and prosecutors have failed to prove that the numbers are being used to intimidate potential witnesses.
China pressured World Bank to cut deadly pollution figures: report
Research showing that 750,000 people die prematurely in China each year from pollution was cut from a World Bank report following pressure from Beijing, the Financial Times said Tuesday.

Not all would put a heroic sheen on Thompson's Watergate role
Thompson tipped off the White House that the committee knew about the taping system and would be making the information public. In his all-but-forgotten Watergate memoir, "At That Point in Time," Thompson said he acted with "no authority" in divulging the committee's knowledge of the tapes, which provided the evidence that led to Nixon's resignation. It was one of many Thompson leaks to the Nixon team, according to a former investigator for Democrats on the committee, Scott Armstrong , who remains upset at Thompson's actions.

Brazilian ethanol 'slaves' freed in raid on plantation
More than 1,000 "enslaved" workers have been released from a sugar cane plantation in the Amazon following a raid that has highlighted the dark side of the current ethanol boom.
Brazilian authorities said that the workers in the northern state of Para were being forced to work 14-hour days in horrendous conditions cutting cane for ethanol production.
Is The United States Killing 10,000 Iraqis Every Month? Or Is It More?
A state-of-the-art research study published in October 12, 2006 issue of The Lancet (the most prestigious British medical journal) concluded that as of a year ago 600,000 Iraqis had died violently due to the war in Iraq. That is, the Iraqi death rate for the first 39 months of the war was just about 15,000 per month.
That wasn’t the worst of it, because the death rate was increasing precipitously, and during the first half of 2006 the monthly rate was approximately 30,000 per month, a rate that no doubt has increased further during the ferocious fighting associated with the current American surge.
