Dickey Al Qaeda S New Thinking

If the examples of other busted plots in Britain—and one horribly effective one on London’s buses and underground trains on July 7, 2005—are any indication, the question of just how serious, how real, how extensive, how precisely connected to other networks these alleged conspirators may have been will linger for years, until their trials are over, and possibly long afterward. Yet in a literal sense the “intellectual authors” of the earlier plots and very probably of this one, already are well known....

MTO News reported the alleged breakup on Monday, quoting a friend of Bidot’s, whose exact identity remains unknown, and who said that Bidot supposedly dumped Wayne because she didn’t want to date a Trump supporter. “She broke up with Wayne.

Did Matt Amodio Throw The Game Why Jeopardy Fans Think He Lost On Purpose

The Yale Ph.D. candidate’s phenomenal 38-game win streak came to an end during Monday’s episode, when he landed in last place in the “Final Jeopardy” round after failing to answer the clue correctly—unlike his two opponents. Going into the round $4,000 behind the leading opponent and $3,800 behind the second-placed player, Amodio bet less than half of his $10,600 earned during the game. Winner Jonathan Fisher doubled his earnings to end on $29,200, while Jessica Stephens finished with a score of $28,799....

Did Rahm Emanuel Know About Foley E Mails

Matt Miller, who was communications director for the House Democratic Caucus in 2005, testified before the ethics committee that he gave the e-mails to the DCCC. Miller was also the source who gave the e-mails to reporters from The Miami Herald and the St. Petersburg Times, and later, to a reporter for Harper’s magazine. As a part of a “gut check,” Miller testified, he shared the e-mails with the “communications director at the DCCC....

SECRETARY OF STATE Madeleine Albright loves to explain. With her big hats and firm but flirtatious style, she has made rapt pupils out of foreign ministers and average Americans. Yet last week she seemed to be struggling. Maybe it was the raucous hecklers who tried to shout her down at an ill-conceived ““town meeting’’ at Ohio State University. But even with friendlier audiences and sympathetic anchorpersons, she had difficulty answering some pretty basic questions....

Diet Feeling Fishy About Fish

But do the risks of eating fish outweigh the benefits? For most, fish can still safely be considered a health food. In November, the American Heart Association said that it’s better to eat fish than to avoid it, especially since there are still plenty of seafoods like cod, farmed tilapia and shellfish that remain pure. And while the fish richest in omega-3s often have the highest levels of contaminants, they are still safe, to a point....

Digital Divide

Yet, for the moment, the beauty of digital TV is only screen-deep. Behind the extraordinary pictures is a blizzard of confusing static and conflict, along with a surprise or two. Several computer-industry giants, all of whom see the TV set morphing into the computer in the digital age, are bluntly challenging consumer-electronics giants in the race to supply the home appliances to receive digital TV. Among them is software giant Microsoft, which also pounced last week to secure a spot in the merging worlds of TV, the Internet and computers by acquiring WebTV, the fledgling deliverer of the Net directly to TV sets....

Dinesh D Souza S Trump Card Explores Hunter Biden Socialism

“This might be the most important part of the film,” D’Souza tells Newsweek about his movie, dubbed Trump Card: Beating Socialism, Corruption and the Deep State. “Trump doesn’t do narratives. He’s good with the zingers but he’s not an explainer. A classic example is when he asked in the debate why Hunter Biden got $3.5 million from Moscow. He doesn’t explain, but we do.” The movie also delves into allegations that Hunter Biden took money from Ukraine and China, the latter of which is explored in a clip from the movie embedded in this story....

Diplomacy By Vendetta

Washington was not oblivious to the change in perceptions, yet old habits die hard. President George W. Bush’s trade representative, Robert Zoellick, left Cancun railing against his developing-world challengers and then went on a vendetta, one that has gone largely unremarked upon in the West. Washington let Costa Rica and Guatemala know that their membership in the G21 would be punished, perhaps by exclusion from the planned Central American Free Trade Area....

Diplomatic Diary Rerouting The Roadmap

Security (or the lack of it) is one of those rare things on which everyone agrees in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both sides want it for their own people. Both sides use it to intimidate the enemy. And the whole world knows that there can be no serious peace talks until the streets of Jerusalem and Jenin feel less like a war zone and more like civilization. The Bush administration has faced this simple truth for its entire time in office....

Dirk Nowitzki Scores Mavericks First 10 Points In Possible Final Home Game

The Mavericks legend scored his team’s first 10 points in Tuesday’s matchup against the Suns. The 40-year-old is likely a first ballot Hall of Famer. Nowitzki is sixth on the NBA’s All-Time scoring list and entered Tuesday with 31,510 points in a career that has spanned two decades. While the German superstar hasn’t announced any plan to retire, many expect him to hang it up after the season.
