Visas for Afghan Interpreters Reveal Failing Security Posted: 09 May 2014 11:09 AM PDT A new bill in Congress raises the prospect that more Afghan interpreters who worked alongside American troops will be able to move to the U.S., fulfilling a promise made to thousands who risked their lives and that of their families. But the legislation also underscores the kind of security situation U.S. troops are leaving behind in Afghanistan after a dozen years there, one in which civilians are intimidated or even killed for working with coalition forces, aid organizations and journalists. The four-page bill, sponsored by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and introduced this week, would expand for one year a special immigrant visa program for interpreters and their immediate family members. It also would expand the initiative to those who worked with U.S. development organizations and American media outlets, as well as authorize an additional 3,000 visas, raising the cap to 10,500. |
Ex-Blackwater guard indicted on murder charge for Iraq shooting Posted: 09 May 2014 10:29 AM PDT By Aruna Viswanatha WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A grand jury has charged a former Blackwater Worldwide security guard with murder for his alleged role in a 2007 shooting of unarmed civilians in Baghdad, according to an indictment made public on Friday. A federal appeals court last month effectively ended a manslaughter case against the guard, Nicholas Slatten, but prosecutors had signaled they might seek a new indictment against him. The indictment comes just weeks before three other former Blackwater guards are scheduled to face trial on manslaughter charges over the deaths of 14 Iraqis killed as the guards accompanied a State Department convoy through Baghdad's Nisur Square. The indictment, which was returned on Thursday but not made public until Friday, charges Slatten with the murder of one person, the driver of a white Kia sedan, which was the first shooting in the square. |
Posted: 09 May 2014 10:10 AM PDT In Uganda, two men are awaiting a criminal trial that could result in a maximum sentence of life in prison. BuzzFeed reports Jackson Mukasa, 19, and Kim Mukisa, 24, were arrested in January, and their trial would mark the first time in Uganda's history that a trial was held under the country's colonial anti-homosexuality laws from 1890. While Uganda passed fresh anti-homosexuality laws this year, the ratification of that freshly homophobic statute came after the arrests of Mukasa and Mukisa. Adrian Jjuuko, who leads the group organizing the men's criminal defense, says the trial is significant because it's going to court; |

Walter Jones Repels a War Party Attack Posted: 09 May 2014 12:00 AM PDT The GOP Beltway establishment is celebrating the victory of Thom Tillis, Speaker of the North Carolina House, over his Tea Party and Evangelical rivals in Tuesday's primary for the U.S. Senate. There, the planned purge of Rep. Walter Jones was repulsed by his loyal Republican base. Reportedly, a million dollars of super PAC money poured into the 3rd, from Republicans, in support of a brazen Big Lie campaign to paint Walter Jones as a liberal. A national organization opposing illegal immigration gives Jones an A+ for battling to secure America's borders and block amnesty. |
Obama nominates ambassadors for key Egypt and Iraq posts Posted: 08 May 2014 11:24 PM PDT President Barack Obama said on Thursday he would nominate two career diplomats with extensive experience in the Middle East as ambassadors to Egypt and Iraq. Robert Stephen Beecroft, who has been U.S. ambassador in Baghdad since 2012, was nominated for the Cairo post, the White House said. U.S. ties with Egypt, a key Middle East ally, have been strained since the Egyptian army's ouster of an elected president last year. Stuart Jones, who has been ambassador to Jordan since 2011, was picked as the new envoy to Iraq. |
