BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Lisa Murkowski
Don Young, Ted Stevens, and Lisa Murkowski, and especially Young, have been hugely supportive of sportsmen
said Steve Colligan
Gov. Palin, when you resigned from your fellow Republican Gov. Murkowski's cabinet---Murkowski being the father of Alaska's other Senator, Lisa Murkowski---it was because of a web of corruption. Oil scandals have a long history in the Republican party, going back to Teapot Dome. Is it wise to put such temptations in front of a party that already has a reputation as a big business front?

were clear instances in that trial where the prosecutors clearly overreached, and as a consequence of that overreaching, you have a verdict that comes down, and now a good man — a man who has served his state and his country — is now looking to that forced retirement.
