Spinning a web for India - Underneath fuzzy talk of shared values, President Bush's real concern is to hobble a potential rival
By Randeep Ramesh
The Guardian 3 Mar 06 A world away from its self-declared international war on terror, Washington has spied greater and more potent threats on the horizon. India's nuclear programme - built in isolation, from scratch, after American-imposed sanctions in the 70s - is such a threat.
Not only has a poverty-stricken country, without outside help, built a nuclear industry, but its scientific establishment has also mastered the technically difficult reprocessing cycle and achieved a series of unique breakthroughs in nuclear technology. India might one day be "free" to assemble as large an atomic arsenal as possible and, even more problematic for Washington, end up with a monopoly on an energy source of the future. |

Associated Press 3 Mar 06 ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Small groups of anti-U.S. demonstrators took to the streets in some Pakistani cities Friday, chanting "Death to America!" and burning U.S. flags to protest a visit by President Bush to meet with one of his key allies in the war on terror.
Comment: SOTT notices that the story says "small groups of demonstrators" but the story is accompanied by a photo that shows probably THOUSANDS of demonstrators... what's up with that?
