Our NSN Daily Update can now be found on our website.  Today's subject is: A Good Week for International Law. 

Here are some Quick Hits:

Prime Minister Maliki’s office again reiterated yesterday his position that American combat troops should leave Iraq by 2010. Furthermore, Dan Balz notes in the Washington Post that, including a quasi-endorsement of Obama’s Iraq policy by the Iraqi government, “the events of the past few days have played unfailingly in the Democrat's favor.”

John McCain yesterday claimed that Iraq and Pakistan share a border. In fact, the countries are approximately 1500 miles apart and are separated by Iran and Afghanistan, two countries with significant claims on the attention of an American President. 

Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s beleaguered president, and the leader of the opposition Morgan Tsvangirai met to “chart a new way”. Their appearance resulted in an agreement which it is hoped will end political strife in the country.

The judge in charge of the military trial of Osama Bin Laden’s driver excluded some evidence obtained through coercive measures.

In an Op-Ed, Anthony Cordesman urged the United States to take on a larger role in helping develop Palestinian security forces as a necessary element of Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts.

Barack Obama has landed in Jordan, where he will meet with King Abdullah.
He plans to continue on to Israel.
