By Spengler
The American commentariat is shocked, shocked , to discover that Turkey has abandoned the Western alliance for an adventurous bid to become the dominant Muslim power in the Middle East. Tom Friedman of the New York Times suggested on June 15 that 'President [Barack] Obama should invite him for a weekend at Camp David to clear the air before US-Turkey relations get where they’re going - over a cliff.' Friedman blames the European Community for rejecting Turkey's membership bid which, he says, was a 'key factor prompting Turkey to move closer to Iran and the Arab world'."

Episcopal Church consecrates first openly lesbian bishop - CNN.com
"Glasspool is the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church since Gene Robinson took office in New Hampshire in 2004. Episcopalians instituted a temporary ban on gay bishops after Robinson's ordination but revoked that ban last summer.
The daughter of a priest, Glasspool was one of two openly gay candidates on the slate in the Los Angeles diocese. She has said that her sexual orientation is 'not an issue.'
Bishop Jon Bruno of Los Angeles called Glasspool, an ordained priest for 28 years, a 'highly qualified and experienced' cleric.
'She's not afraid of conflict and is a reconciler,' Bruno said, according to the Episcopal Church website."
It is an issue with God!

No breakthroughs in US, China human rights talks - Yahoo! News
"Posner said in addition to talks on freedom of religion and expression, labor rights and rule of law, officials also discussed Chinese complaints about problems with U.S. human rights, which have included crime, poverty, homelessness and racial discrimination.
He said U.S. officials did not whitewash the American record and in fact raised on its own a new immigration law in Arizona that requires police to ask about a person's immigration status if there is suspicion the person is in the country illegally.
China, a nation that has the world's worst human-record ever--estimated 150 million killed by the communist government-- is now complaining to the US about so-called US human-rights violations? This is a sad public relation attempt. Not as sad as our own Presidential administration's officials "in fact raised on its own a new immigration law in Arizona" to a bloody and oppressive government of China!

9/11 families blast Kagan - NYPOST.com
"Doyle and thousands of other 9/11 relatives had joined in a suit that traced funding for the 19 hijackers to certain Saudi royals, along with banks, corporations and Islamic charities.
The royals were let off the hook last year at the urging of Kagan, the US solicitor general.
'Kagan protected them,' Doyle said. 'I think it's a huge issue, and I hope it comes up in her confirmation hearings.'
She filed a brief to the Supreme Court last May, arguing that the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act shielded Saudi princes from the suit's claims that they gave money to Osama bin Laden and other terrorist leaders or to charities that funneled funds to al Qaeda.
Kagan cited 'the potentially significant foreign-relations consequences of subjecting another sovereign state to suit.'
The Supreme Court declined to hear the case."
