Mon Aug 7, 2006 WASHINGTON - The United States will lower troop levels in South Korea beyond a previously agreed reduction to 25,000, but the cut will not be "substantial," a senior defense official said on Monday.
"As the adjustments (in capabilities) take place, there will be a reduction in the number of U.S. forces located in the Republic of Korea beyond the level of 25,000 that we've currently agreed to," the official said. "Will it be a substantial reduction? I do not believe so." |

By Itamar Eichner 08/08/06 Three Israeli backpackers were evicted from Fiji after a Muslim immigration officer ruled that they had humiliated Palestinians during their military service in the territories.
The three - Amit Ronen, Eldar Avracohen, and Nimrod Lahav - left Israel in February for a tour in Australia. In July they decided to spend a week in Fiji. On July 13 they arrived at Fiji airport where a surprise awaited them. Comment: Seems like Israelis don't like it when they are treated like they treat others.

By Sean Markey 08/03/06 About 20,000 years ago, five human hunters sprinted across the soft clay on the edge of a wetland in what is now New South Wales, Australia.
Others also wandered across the muddy landscape, including a family of five, a small child, and a one-legged man who hopped without a crutch. These early Aboriginal ancestors have long since vanished. But a record of their passage can be seen today in Mungo National Park, about 195 miles (315 kilometers) from Broken Hill (Australia map). |
