NSN Daily Update 2/5/09
Posted by The National Security Network
See today's complete daily update, "New Leadership Needed on Intelligence," here.
What We’re Reading
A British High Court ruled that documents pertaining to Binyam Mohamed, a British resident being held at Guantanamo alleging torture, were to be kept secret. In their ruling, the judges cited American threats to withhold intelligence cooperation with Britain if the papers were released. David Milliband, the UK Foreign Secretary, denies any such threats occurred.
Iran denied visas for the U.S. women’s badminton team it had invited to compete in a tournament. The British Council, a cultural office, suspended all work in Iran after intimidation.
President Obama may be taking significant steps to reduce the US nuclear stockpile.
Sweden scrapped their 30-year ban on building new nuclear reactors, joining a growing list of countries who are rethinking nuclear power.
Commentary of the Day
Timothy Garton Ash argues that Moscow’s role in the world is changing, and Europe better get ready.
Roger Cohen writes that military options are “unthinkable” in Iran. David Ignatius writes about Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft’s views on diplomacy with Iran.
Rosa Brooks looks at what “finishing the job” means in Afghanistan.
President Obama advocates for the stimulus bill in the Washington Post.
I believe that the German ledership would be wise to ignore Ash's reccomendations about having a harder line against the Russians. I think that the French-German approach about gradually intergrating the Russians within the European community through joint ventures such using as combining Russian and European technologies on European Space Agency projects is more effective than the current American policy of expanding NATO into Georgia and the Ukraine. If Obama wants Russian cooperation on reducing nuclear weapons and Afghanistan maybe he needs to talk witn Merkel and Sarkozy about effective ways of dealing with the Russians, and ignore his own advisors such as Michael McFaul.

Dogs do get a lot of health problems during their lifetime and one of the
most common occurring health problems in dogs is urinary tract infection.
Yes, dogs too get this kind of infection and there are a lot of factors that
make them at risk of contracting the infection.
