 Report: Native American Trackers to Hunt Terrorists at Afghan Border |
An world-reknowned elite group of Native American trackers used by the U.S. Customs to hunt down Mexican drug and people smugglers reportedly is joining the hunt for terrorists crossing Afghanistan’s borders, where Usama bin Laden has been known to hide. The Shadow Wolves unit, recruited from tribes including the Navajo, Sioux, Lakota and Apache, which patrols a 76-mile stretch of Arizona-Mexico border, is being sent to areas along the Afghan border to teach local units the traditional method called "cutting sign" of finding and following clues on the barren landscape, London's Sunday Times reported. If these guys were so good how come these Trackers didn’t stop the Drugs or the Invasion on Americans boarder?...

| Secret Hearings For 9/11 Suspects Start. Not even a Show Trial in the former land of the free |
Secret hearings for two suspected masterminds of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and a third terror suspect were held over the weekend at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as the military launched proceedings to determine whether 14 high-profile detainees should be prosecuted. According to U.S. Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman, hearings for Abu Faraj al-Libi and Ramzi Binalshibh were Friday, and a hearing for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was Saturday. He said another hearing at the U.S. Navy base in southeast Cuba was scheduled for Monday. The hearings are to determine whether the detainees should be declared "enemy combatants" who can be held indefinitely and prosecuted in a military tribunal. Mohammed, who was born in Pakistan and raised in Kuwait, is believed to have been the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks with the alleged help of Binalshibh, a Yemeni who also is suspected of being involved in a foiled plot to crash aircraft into London's Heathrow Airport. ...

| LATIN AMERICAN RESENTMENT Ruins to Be Cleansed Following Bush Visit |
A site close to the hearts of the indigenous Maya people of Guatemala is to be spiritually de-contaminated after a visit by US president George Bush. Mayan Indian priests in Guatemala have vowed to hold a cleansing ceremony following a Monday visit by US president George W. Bush to sacred ancient ruins. As part of his stopover in the tiny, Central American nation during a five-nation-tour of Latin America, Bush's itinerary has him visiting the Mayan ruins of Iximiche, some 50 kilometers west of Guatemala City. Native dances and a welcoming ceremony will greet the president when he arrives at the ruins of the former capital of the Kaqchikel Maya people. But after he leaves, Mayan leaders say that a special cleansing ceremony to restore peace and harmony will be necessary to remove negative energy left by Bush's visit....

The European and US space agencies are moving ahead on their next major missions to explore the Solar System. Nasa has begun choosing a destination for a "flagship" robotic venture along the lines of Cassini-Huygens, which has been exploring Saturn and its moons.

Europa, Titan and Enceladus are also among the destinations expected to be proposed under the European Space Agency's (Esa) "Cosmic Visions" programme of exploration. Other proposals likely to be submitted include a mission to return soil from a near-Earth asteroid. ...
