Playing for time
The Turkish government has repeatedly said that it has no intention of recognizing the Republic of Cyprus. Ankara's stance is obviously in line with Turkey's overall strategy in view of the December 17 summit, when the Dutch administration, currently in charge of the European Union's rotating presidency, will issue a statement on Turkey's EU membership prospects. |

Scenes from a war
Two scenes from Iraq stood out the past week. In one, footage of a US Marine shooting what appeared to be an injured insurgent in a mosque, apparently killing him, was broadcast around the world. The second scene we did not see. It appeared to show the murder of Margaret Hassan, the director of CARE International's Iraqi branch. Al Jazeera said it had received a video of a blindfolded woman, who appeared to be Hassan, being shot in the head by a hooded gunman. Although it played the Marine incident repeatedly, the channel said it would not show the Hassan tape, arguing that it only shows war-related deaths. |
