US 'to quiz Sri Lanka army chief'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8336759.stm
“Sri Lanka says its army chief faces questioning by the US government, over alleged war crimes committed during the war with the Tamil Tigers. The Sri Lankan government has told the BBC that it objects to American plans to interview General Sarath Fonseka, who is currently on a visit to the US. The American State Department published a recent report outlining allegations of human rights abuses during the war.”

The "Intolerance" Party? GOP Strategists Worry Ideologues Are Bad For The Party's Future

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/02/the-intolerance-party-gop_n_274355.html
A major rift has emerged within the Republican Party. On one side: Ideologues who are inciting the base with wild rhetoric and banking on a "great American awakening" that will sweep conservatives back into power. On the other: Strategists, who see the party's growing intolerance as a prescription for minority status.

So far, the ideologues are winning.
