The US is to deport 10 people who spied for Moscow in exchange for four people convicted of espionage in Russia.Prosecutors said the accused had posed as ordinary citizens, some living together as couples for years, and were ordered by Russia's External Intelligence Service (SVR) to infiltrate policy-making circles and collect information. At first, Moscow denies that they were spies, now it exchanges them. It's not like that should surprise anybody though.

Israel will allow items into Gaza unless they feature on a new list which specifies banned goods.Israel has blockaded Gaza since 2005, but has faced heavy criticism since the recent killing of nine people on an aid flotilla heading to Gaza. There was no immediate reaction from Palestinians to Israel's decision, but the plan was dismissed by Palestinian groups last week as a "pointless gesture". Really, it's getting so boring. All they do is killing each other for decades now. An eye for an eye until all are blind; perhaps then there will be something similar to peace.

Hundreds of Italian politicians, civil servants and celebrities have been implicated in a corruption scandal following the leaking of a list with their names on.Italy's industry minister has already resigned after his name was linked to the investigation. At least Italy has the best politicians which money can buy.

The US has evidence the Pakistani Taliban was behind the attempted car bombing in New York's Times Square, Attorney General Eric Holder says.Faisal Shazhad, 30, from Bridgeport, Connecticut, has co-operated with investigators, and admits receiving bomb-making training in the Pakistani region of Waziristan, prosecutors have said. What a good coincidence, helping to keep the war going. Of course there cannot be any doubt since Shazad is not Nijirah al-Sabah (aka Nayirah) who lied before US Congress about baby-killing Iraq soldiers to start the first Gulf War. Shazad is also not Dick Cheney, who still hasn't delivered the evidence for weapons of mass destructions he talked about to justify another war against Iraq.

The US is threatening to stop working with Europe in the fight against terrorism after an EU parliamentary group rejected a proposed data-sharing agreement.Members of a European Parliament subcommittee dealt a blow to US-EU relations by voting to reject a proposed bank data sharing deal between the US and Europe in a preliminary vote on Thursday. Members of the parliament's civil liberties committee voted by 29 votes to 23 to reject the SWIFT deal, arguing that the deal fails to protect the privacy of EU citizens. Sorry that european privacy laws are more strict than in the US. Unfortunately, I like it that way and if the US now throws a tantrum then I really don't care. Lyndon B. Johnson already said it: "Every man should know that his conversations, his correspondence, and his personal life are private". Besides, the threat not to work with the EU against terrorism is meaningless; because it would fire back and I don't think that US politicans assume that the EU will work with them against terrorism while getting nothing in return. That aside, US terrorism investigations don't seem to be that valueable: Bin Laden still isn't caught and Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction.
