French agents kidnapped in Somalia - The Majlis
- As a side note, the French agents were reportedly calling themselves journalists as a cover identity, and were staying in the Funduq Sahafi al-'Aalmee, or the International Journalist Hotel. It's reassuring to see that intelligence agencies are still letting their agents pose as journalists, thus affirming the paranoid accusations of Third World governments everywhere.

Daily News Egypt - IN FOCUS: Mubarak Regime and Brotherhood: Zero-Sum Game
- It would be no exaggeration to say that the arrest of the group’s leading reformers, led by Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, is tantamount to the execution of Sayyid Qutb in mid 1960s of the last century and its far-reaching repercussions on the Muslim Brotherhood’s young generation and the other young religious enthusiasts at the time.
- It is enough to look at the Muslim Brotherhood discussion boards and blogs to find out the extent of resentment and tension among the Brotherhood grassroots after the arrest of Aboul Fotouh, and their appeals to the group’s leaders to move and to take firm positions against the regime.
- Fourth, the arrest of the group’s reformists and moderates could throw the group into intolerance and conservatism. This could benefit the regime temporarily, but it could adversely affect the society on the long run.
- Fifth, the isolation of the Muslim Brotherhood could contribute to the emergence of radical religious movements seeking to fill the religious and political gap between the state and the society.
- Sixth, the targeting of the Muslim Brotherhood could lead to its breakup and fragmentation of the group into smaller groups and pockets that do not abide by the decisions of their leaders.
- Finally, the regime’s oppression of the Muslim Brotherhood could lead to the repetition of the Algerian model in the early 1990s when the military and secularists turned on democracy and deprived the Islamists of their legitimate gains, turning Algeria into a pool of blood still bleeding to the very moment, which we do not wish to happen in Egypt.

Gates announces temporary increase in U.S. Army | Reuters
- He told reporters at a news briefing that the increase, intended to cope with strains from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, would raise the total strength of the Army to 569,000 soldiers.
- The Pentagon plans to absorb an initial expansion cost of $1.1 billion through fiscal year 2010, which begins Oct. 1, without additional funding from Congress. But Gates suggested more funds could be necessary in fiscal years 2011 and 2012.
- Gates authorized a permanent increase in U.S. Army strength soon after he became defense secretary in 2006, believing the largest branch of the U.S. military did not have enough forces to support heightened operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- U.S. Army soldiers currently receive 12 months of dwell time after each 12-month deployment and Army officials want to extend that to two years.
