Six dead in Kabul hotel attack targeting foreigners
UN chief Ban Ki-moon suggested the attack might have been targeting Norway's visiting foreign minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, who was inside the luxury Serena hotel at the time and took shelter with other guests in the basement. A US citizen and a Norwegian journalist were among the dead. The Serena hotel, opened in November 2005, is the main venue in the capital for high-level functions of the Western-backed government, as well as foreign embassies and businesses. As such it is heavily barricaded and guarded against security threats amid an increasingly violent Taliban-led insurgency. Australia, which has around 900 troops operating in Afghanistan, announced today that it was relocating its embassy out of the hotel. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed said four men armed with Kalashnikovs "entered the Serena hotel and fired on foreigners." One of them was wearing a suicide vest and blew him up.
Indian chancery gets a new home
The project for construction of the embassy complex was conceived and work began in June 2006 and ended in December 2007.
Besides all the necessary security equipment like CCTV, X-ray machine and metal detectors, the embassy complex also has a state-of-the-art auditorium with a seating capacity of 300 persons.
Among the notable dignitaries who attended the official opening ceremony of the Indian embassy complex were Dr Omar bin Abdul Munim Al Zawawi, special adviser to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said for External Liaison; Sayyid Abdullah bin Hamed bin Saif Al Busaidi, chairman of State Audit Institution; Maqbool bin Ali Sultan, minister of commerce and industry; Mohammed bin Ali bin Nasser Al Alawi, minister of legal affairs; Dr Rawiyah bint Saud bin Ahmed Al Busaidiyah, minister of higher education; Darwish bin Ismail bin Ali Al Balushi, secretary-general, minister of finance; and Salem bin Nasser bin Said Al Maskari, secretary-general, Council of Higher Education.
Harper announces more rigorous product safety law
The federal government on Monday announced a plan that will allow for greater product recall powers, stiffer fines for manufacturers and more product safety inspectors and investigations. In June, Health Canada warned consumers against using certain brands of toothpaste imported from China that were found to contain diethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze.(Health Canada) Harper said legislation to be introduced early next year will empower the government to order mandatory recalls of products if companies fail to act on legitimate safety concerns. Importers and manufacturers will also be required to ensure the safety of products, reporting on all defects. Under the current Food and Drug Act, first-time offenders who violate safety standards face fines of up to $5,000.
Team Party Crash: 'Radar' Third Issue Party
Nick Denton saunters up with L.A. blogger Mickey Kaus, who, in his long trench coat, looks like he desperately wants to be somebody's Deep Throat. The men start talking about Michael Kinsley and our eyes glaze over. Once they start serious discussion of whether Stuff magazine was "darker" under Greg Gutfeld's reign, we politely excuse ourselves. Also, we feel a bit weird reporting with Denton standing right there. It's a little like how we imagine it would feel to have our parents watching us have sex -- if Denton had any idea who we were. His hair is real. His love is not. With his love of karaoke and his knack for triple-fisting, we can see why NYT metro hottie Nick Confessore is a hit at these kinds of parties. Krucoff: "Si? Chuck? Let's hug it out." We don't know at what point the party turns into a blogger clusterfuck, but we're pretty sure it's around the time Andrew Krucoff shows up, minus his trusty box of "Save Krucoff" buttons.

What Is This ‘Iranian Provocation’ BS?
If and when there is a US attack on Iran, you can bet the pretext for it will be some act by Iran that the US media will present as a "dastardly" attack on innocent US forces. What we're seeing with this coverage of the latest confrontation between US and Iranian vessels is that we will not be getting the real story. As long as the Bush/Cheney administration continues to have that huge armada of war-primed vessels hugging Iran's coast, it is the US that is the aggressor, and it is the Bush/Cheney administration that must get the blame for the consequences. The American corporate media will also be responsible though, for our domestic news organizations are playing the willing propagandists here as willingly as did Pravda or TASS in the old Soviet Union.

the has-been
In the first major spin scrum of the 2008 cycle, Warner's decision prompted a mad scramble to declare which other unannounced candidates gained the most from a race without him. Like most preseason handicapping, that's a silly question with no known answer. The truth is that in the main, every potential candidate stands to lose from Warner's exit. A presidential race is not a cakewalk, where each departure automatically boosts the chances of all the remaining contestants. Nor is it a dinner party with assigned seating, liberals at one table and moderates at another, where one candidate can watch another leave and think, "More wine for me!" No, the nominating contest is more like a friendly argument—a group effort to answer the same two extraordinarily hard questions: how to get elected president, and what to do for the country.
