exploit the weakness and others tried to mediate as well, and i am worried the next two weeks of increased nato and opposition military activity don t cause qaddafi to crumble, that he will then use the succeeding months of ramadan in the muslim calendar to secure his position, and gain a favorable political disposition. eric: it s not just qaddafi who s digging in, but assad, had a crack down, in syria, arresting 500 people and he is still hanging in. there is no mistake the assad regime is extremely unpopular in syria, but there is one problem, they don t have free and fair elections there. and two problems, iran which has for the past several years effectively treated syria as a satellite country, has huge interest in keeping the assad regime in power. and while there has been speculation about a way to oust the assad regime i think iran is

cases pending against her, but the one i find the most interesting is the lawyers that have the victory, she escaped the death penalty, which would have been the worse. they are appealing the conviction on lying top cops. we know she didn t report her daughter missing. we know that the city and the state had to pay money to search for a baby they say they knew was dead from an accident. what is up from that? finally notice of appeal in case like this is automatic, so they filed the notice, but it doesn t necessarily mean that they will file an appeal. they just got to protect casey s right. it s rather extraordinary when you think about it, what she got away with. apparently. and the fact that they want to not let sleeping dog s lie and kick this thing back up. bring it back in the system of criminal justice on an appeal level. why they are doing it when she basically skated with credit for time served and four minor relatively minor
