NEW YORK — Guantanamo waterboarding as a Coney Island sideshow — that's what one political-minded artist has created on the Brooklyn seashore.

The United Arab Emirates has promised to contribute $10 million to an international nuclear fuel bank to be administered by the International Atomic Energy Agency, UAE officials announced today (see GSN, Aug. 5).

(WMR) -- At the first military commission trial last week in Guantanamo, Cuba, Navy Lieutenant Commander Timothy Stone, one of the prosecutors, told the jury that accused Al Qaeda terrorist Salim Hamdan, a Yemeni citizen, was guilty of knowing about the 9/11 attacks because he overheard a conversation between Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda number two man Ayman al Zawahiri concerning details of the attacks.

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba, Aug. 6 -- Osama bin Laden's former driver was convicted on one charge and acquitted on another Wednesday, handing the Bush administration a partial victory in the first U.S. war crimes trial in a half-century but failing to settle the debate over whether the proceeding was just. ....

The sentencing hearing will start at 2 p.m. Eastern time and is expected to last for the rest of the day Wednesday. Prosecutors are expected to present 'aggravating factors' they say call for a harsh punishment, while defense attorneys introduce evidence of mitigation. The same two-thirds vote applies to sentencing, unless the term is more than 10 years. That would require the vote of three-fourths of the jurors.

....

Any computer connected to the Internet is potentially subject to this same sort of assault, but the danger is particularly high in China itself or in places like Afghanistan, where half the Internet traffic is routed through China. Foreign government, military and contractor computers are prime targets.
