The strategy to get a European bailout fund and a fiscal treaty exposed her center-right coalition to new criticism as Social Democrats steadily close the gap in voter support on her Christian Democrats.
Chancellor Angela Merkel relied heavily on support from Germany's leading opposition parties to ensure ratification of Europe's permanent bailout fund and a treaty ensuring German-style budget discipline in other euro zone member countries, exposing her center- right coalition to renewed criticism.

Today, MoveOn has 2 million online supporters, more than the Christian Coalition's membership in its heyday. (There's no official tally.) MoveOn's co-sponsorship of this conference is what brought a good half of the folks here, I'm guessing. Its $50 million ad campaign against [Bush] is the biggest story of the '04 campaign so far, emblematic of the online army of small contributors who helped Howard Dean raise $40 million in '03 and [John Kerry] $31 million in April '04 alone (to Bush's $15 million).
Ditto Maria Echeveste, former White House deputy chief of staff, whose Nueva Vista Group is running Immigant Vote 2004. Getting Hispanics and Latinos to vote is just as hard as knowing what to call them, she quips. ("As you know, we really can't decide what to call ourselves.") Remember, m...

Americans would be astonished at the criticisms in the Israeli press of the Israeli government's policies toward the Palestinians and Arabs generally. In Israel facts are still part of the discussion. If the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, could replace Fox "News," CNN, New York Times and Washington Post, Americans would know the truth about U.S. and Israeli policies in the Middle East and their likely consequences.
In the U.S. it is acceptable, even obligatory in many circles, to hate Muslims and to support violence against them. Pipes has been described as a "leading anti-Muslim hate propagandist." He is onrecord advocating the use of violence alone as the solution to the "Muslim problem." This won him the endorsement of the Christian Coalition, AIPAC, and the Zionist Organization of Amer...

The Transparency International Corruption Perception Index for 2008, a report ranking countries by the degree corruption is perceived to exist among politicians and public officials, ranked Nigeria 1 22d, Venezuela 158th, Sudan 173d, and Iraq 178th out of a total of 180 countries.2 Indeed, corruption in Iraq is staggering and because of the encouragement received during Saddam Hussein's reign, can be considered part of the country's culture. With 140 million people largely split between a predominantly Muslim north and a Christian-majority south, Nigeria is an ideal place for civil war and terror.12 In 2007, a Nigerian newspaper owner was charged with receiving funds from Al-Qaeda to sponsor terror in Africa's most populous country.13 In testimony before the House Committee on Internat...

A year after Miller lambasted TXUs outdated technology and told the company that "carbon dioxide is a huge, huge issue for us," Summit hired the ex-mayor to promote a proposed coal-gasification plant that will sequester at most 60 percent of its CO2 emissions. Asked about coal-gasification technologies that target 90 percent of CO2 emissions, [Laura Miller] told the Observer, "You can't capture more than 60 percent and have it be [economically] viable.
The best way to fight dirty coal plants is to build clean ones," Miller said. She signed on as Summit's Texas projects director because the company was willing to privately finance a coal-gasification plant with carbon sequestration. Once that is demonstrated, Miller said, the next challenge will be achieving higher rates of CO2 sequest...
