9/11 Most Iconic TV Moment Ever

| —Author: AuthorTim Stevens

Well, the title says it all. I've not seen this story anywhere else but in the Indian press and the source is an Asian News International (ANI) wire story.

Apparently, 41% of Scottish television viewers voted 9/11 as the 'most iconic TV moment' ever, in a poll conducted by UK TV Licensing.

Commander Of The Fearful

| —Author: AuthorMike Innes

Imtiaz Ali's profile of Baitullah Mehsud in Foreign Policy, "Commander of the Faithful," raises an interesting question. In summarizing Mehsud's deeds and accomplishments of the last few years, Ali writes

With this singular résumé, it was no surprise that Mehsud was named head of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan when the group formed in December 2007. Since then, the man known asamir(leader) by his followers has expanded his campaign by launching a remarkably

| —Author: AuthorJohn Matthew Barlow

Kashgar is the westernmost city in China, the administrative centre of the Kashgar Prefecture, and the cultural capital of Xinjiang Province. Kashgar's market has long been a major stop on the Silk Road, the trade route that extends from China and Mongolia to Western Europe. Today, the city has a population of about 350,000. The map below shows Kashgar's position relative to Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang and the site of rioting in recent days between Uighurs and Hans. The blue line is the road between the two cities.
