Assassinated ex-premier of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was a victim of her own legacy, according to noted author William Dalrymple. During Benazir’s regime, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan had installed the Taliban in Afghanistan and a large number of young Islamic militants were recruited to carry out ISI’s "dirty work in Kashmir", Dalrymple writes in the New York Times. These Islamist militant groups that flourished under the Benazir Administrations in the 1980s and 1990s contributed to her assassination, according to Dalrymple. Writing in the New York Times, he said that though "the recruitment of jihadists had started before she took office," but it would be "naïve to believe" that Benazir had no influence over Pakistan’s foreign policy toward its two most important neighbours, India and Afghanistan. Benazir’s death was, of course a calamity, particularly as she had "embodied the hopes" of so many l
Saudi King 'Abdallah bin 'Abd Al-'Aziz has issued a royal pardon for the "girl from Al-Qatif" who was gang-raped.Last month, a Saudi court sentenced the girl to six months in prison and 200 lashes for "illegally being alone" with a man at the time she was kidnapped by the seven rapists.The king was exercising his right to intervene in judicial affairs in cases when such intervention would produce extensive public benefit.In response to the decree the Saudi justice minister said that the pardon did not raise doubts about the integrity, fairness, and freedom of operation of Saudi judges or of the Saudi judicial system.
Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah pardoned a female rape victim who had been sentenced to six months in prison and 200 lashes for being alone with a man who was not related to her. Saudi Justice Minister Abduallah bin Muhammed al-Sheik told reporters the pardon does not meant the king doubted the country’s judges, but [...]

In response to news that a woman in Saudi Arabia who had been raped by seven men was subjected by judges to 200 lashes with a whip and jail time, Republican State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack could only shrug and mumble the following:
Question: Are you going to exert any pressure on the Saudi Government to [...]

what is a fashion victim?
Below are three definitions of the term "fashion victim." The first definition comes from Karin Eldor, a fellow fashion correspondent at AskMen.com. She describes a fashion victim as "someone who takes all the trends of a given time and ends up looking like a store mannequin; in a word, absurd." The second one is courtesy of a friend of mine, who I consider a sleek dresser. To her, a fashion victim is someone who: a- only purchases brand-name apparel; b- is a compulsive shopper; c- will only consider wearing an item that is "the latest trend," regardless of whether he can pull it off or not. I found a third definition on a fashion website while researching the expression. The definition states that a fashion victim is "someone who buys an outfit that is perfectly in style, but when he wears it, he looks perfectly ridiculous."

It looks like CIA director Michael V. Hayden want to “arrange a neck tie party” for that agency’s inspector general John Helgerson, as noted on the front page of the New York Times today…The review is particularly focused on complaints that Mr. Helgerson’s office has not acted as a fair and impartial judge of agency operations but instead has begun a crusade against those who have participated in controversial detention programs.Any move by the agency’s director to examine the work of the inspector general would be unusual, if not unprecedented, and would threaten to undermine the independence of the office, some current and former officials say.Frederick P. Hitz, who served as C.I.A. inspector general from 1990 to 1998, said he had no first-hand information about current conflicts inside the agency. But Mr. Hitz said any move by the agency’s director to examine the work of the inspector general would “not be proper.”“I think it’s a terrible idea,” said Mr. Hitz
Video games often are blamed for causing violent crimes. But in the case of a Tennessee kidnap victim, Sony’s PlayStation Portable (PSP) may have saved his life. As reported by the Knoxville News-Sentinel, Jose Ignacio Ortega Garcia was kidnapped, beaten and tortured by a pair of men who held him captive in a filthy motel room for nine days. Garcia, a business owner, was forced to write checks to the men totalling more than $17,000. His kidnappers also made him call his wife and tell her that he had left her for another woman in order to keep her from calling the police. Charged in the case are Jose Sanchez, 18, and Juan Gonzales, 28. As reported by the Times-Sentinel, it was a video game which finally ended Garcia’s ordeal. On June 21, Gonzales gave Sanchez a hand-held video game that would prove to be Garcia’s savior… “Sanchez played the video game virtually all day that day and much of the night,” [according to an FBI report] Garcia used the distraction as an opportunity

This is a bit uncomfortable to say, but I think it needs to be said anyway.This story notes that Kenneth Feinberg, a lawyer who administered the compensation program for the 9/11 victims, will do the same thing for the $7.1 million fund for the victims of the Virginia Tech shootings earlier this year.With this in mind, here is a link to a Findlaw column by Anthony J, Sebok that makes the following point about a condition of the distribution of the 9/11 funds…The federal government did not prohibit suits against the airlines (although it did cap their liability at a sum equal to their insurance coverage). Instead, it has offered the families of the victims a deal: if they elect not to sue the airlines (for negligence – my note), the government—meaning the U.S. taxpayer—will pay for the tort damages that the families would have otherwise attempted to win through litigation.Now I realize that there are some important differences between the circumstances surrounding 9/11 and the V
13 of the Seventh Month 5764It has begun, yet again, for the umteenth time.Jews and non-Jews, Israelis and other nationals have begun to cry an all too familiar cry:"No, we cannot bomb a terrorist camp in Syria! It will only make things worse! They will hit us again!"In other words, although it is not [supposed to be] acceptable for Arabs to shoot and to blow up Jews, it is also not acceptable for "we Jews to stoop to their level" by striking back.This cry is no less ridiculous and offensive than accusing a rape victim of having been raped.I do not make this statement lightly. Rape is a serious and violent crime, causing physical, psychological, and spiritual damage to the victim, as well as to those close to the victim. It is not at all the intention of this letter to minimalize the terror a rape victim is forced to undergo (G-d forbid).Rather, it is to wake the Jewish People up from their denial and their repressed memories of history.When someone has been raped, what is the general
