Hackers Get Bum Rap For The Digital Delinquency Of Corporate America
Seattle WA (SPX) Mar 15, 2007If Phil Howard's calculations prove true, by year's end the 2 billionth personal record -- some American's social-security or credit-card number, academic grades or medical history -- will become compromised, and it's corporate America, not rogue hackers, who are primarily to blame. By his reckoning, electronic records in the United States are bleeding at the rate of 6 million a month in 2007, u ... more Key Phase Of New B-2 Bomber Communication System To Begin

London (AFP) Mar 14, 2007Prime Minister Tony Blair won backing for plans to renew Britain's nuclear deterrent Wednesday, but only after an embarrassing revolt from within his own Labour ranks. After a sometimes rowdy debate and the resignation of two more junior government ministers, lawmakers voted by 409 in favour of renewing the US-built Trident missile system, and 161 against.

London (AFP) Mar 14, 2007The British government faces a controversial vote in parliament on Wednesday over Prime Minister Tony Blair's plans to renew the country's independent nuclear deterrent. A large rebellion from rank-and-file ruling Labour party MPs is expected, and though the government is not expected to lose the vote, it will likely have to rely on the support of the main opposition Conservatives to push ... more Taiwan Leader Urges EU To Keep Arms Embargo On China 
Taipei (AFP) March 13, 2007Taiwan President President Chen Shui-ban on Tuesday urged the European Union to maintain its arms embargo on China, saying Beijing's military buildup posed the biggest threat to regional peace.

Future Is Bright For Air Force Space Assets
San Antonio TX (AFNS) Mar 13, 2007The Airmen of Air Force Space Command are tracking a lot more than the man-made space junk that orbits the Earth. Space operators are troubleshooting the way they do business. They're focusing on getting their capabilities -- the ones most Americans know little about -- to the forefront of the battlefield. Leading the effort is a group of leaders with experience in real-world combat operat ... more Iran Shrugs Off Threat Of More UN Sanctions 
Tehran (AFP) Mar 13, 2007Iran on Tuesday shrugged off the threat of further UN Security Council sanctions over its nuclear programme, saying more punitive action would not affect the controversial atomic drive or its economy. "The adoption of another resolution is not welcome but is not worrying," government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham told reporters. "It will not affect our work and will not concern our people." ... more Does The Surge Needs Sadr 
Washington DC (SPX) Mar 13, 2007Tactically, the new U.S. surge policy in Iraq centered in Baghdad is off to a bad start, yet there remains a chance it can still work. The bad news is that would require retaining good relations with a key Shiite militia force that U.S. policymakers appear determined to alienate. Sunni insurgent terror attacks in Iraq, especially in Baghdad, continue unabated, despite the dispatch of more ... more MORE HEADLINES

Why India Will Sit Out Any Iran Expeditions
Manipal (UPI) India, March 9, 2007Iran's ongoing effort to master uranium enrichment technology may lead to U.S. air and missile strikes designed to cripple its reprocessing capacity. The risks and rewards of such an action have been extensively detailed, but there is also a small part of the overall mosaic often undiscussed-- the response of India to such a strike. Although Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is solicitous of p ... more Dialogue Of The Deaf Over ABM Plans 
Washington (UPI) March 8, 2007The United States has launched its diplomatic offensive to try and improve relations with Russia, especially on the thorny issue of building ballistic missile defense facilities in Central Europe. But it is proving to be a dialogue of the deaf. The past week has seen heavy diplomatic activity on the ballistic missile defense front: The United States and NATO have been trying at high levels ... more US Missile Shield A Threat To Europe Unity Claims Chirac 
Brussels (AFP) March 9, 2007The US anti-missile shield project, which is strongly opposed by Russia, risks creating "new lines of division in Europe," French President Jacques Chirac warned Friday. "The project raises numerous questions which require consideration before they are answered," the French leader told a press conference following a summit of EU heads of state and government in Brussels.
