www.democracynow.org - The Senate is set to vote this week on a Pentagon spending bill that could usher in a radical expansion of indefinite detention under the US government. A provision in the National Defense Authorization Act would authorize the military to jail anyone it considers a terrorism suspect -- anywhere in the world -- without charge or trial. The measure would effectively extend the definition of what is considered the military's "battlefield" to anywhere in the world, even within the United States. Its authors, Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan and Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, have been campaigning for its passage in a bipartisan effort. But the White House has issued a veto threat, with backing from top officials including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and FBI Director Robert Mueller. "This would be the first time since the McCarthy era that the United States Congress has tried to do this," says our guest, Daphne Eviatar of Human Rights First, which has gathered signatures from 26 retired military leaders urging the Senate to vote against the measure, as well as against a separate provision that would repeal the executive order banning torture. "In this case, we've seen the administration very eagerly hold people without trial for 10-plus years in military detention, so there's no reason to believe they would not continue to do that here. So we're talking about indefinite military <b>...</b>

1.16pm: Details are still very confused. Le Soir, Belgium's biggest daily francophone paper, is reporting that the attack was carried out by at least two people- one of whom died in the explosions, one of whom fled. He is understood to have hidden shortly after 1.30pm [local time] in a wing of Liège's new palais de justice. Witnesses have reported that shots were still being heard about an hour after the attack took place. 1.06pm: Most news organisations appear to be reporting a death toll of two, according to a dispatch from AP. Belgian media reported that one of the two dead was believed to be the assailant, a man believed to be about 40 years old. New reports said that at about 12:30 local time (6:30 am EDT) the man lobbed several grenades at a bus shelter in Place Saint-Lambert, a busy downtown square. They said witnesses reported four explosions and gun fire. Phone calls to Liege authorities were not immediately answered. Belgium's VRT television network spoke with an unidentified man who was wounded in the attack and who said "someone threw grenades and fired shots." Police were on the scene quickly and sealed off the square. TV images showed blood splattered across the cobblestones. Valerie Schaaps, a spokeswoman for the prosecutors office, confirmed there had been explosions and gunfire, and that there were injuries. The daily La Meuse reported that the attacker had killed himself. Place Saint-Lambert is a busy crossroads: every day 1800 buses serve the square <b>...</b>

Pakistan, September 5: Madrasas or Islamic seminaries impart Islamic education. But, in recent years, the perception of madrasas, especially in Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan has changed as they have become factories that churn out `jihadis'. Children are brainwashed here to become `Jihadis' and carry out suicide attacks. Two-decades of war has severely affected education in Afghanistan and going to school has become increasingly dangerous for students and teachers. The insurgents tacitly encourage parents to send their sons to religious schools in neighbouring Pakistan for Islamic studies. The Islamic seminaries brainwash students and teach them religious extremism, armed jihad and hatred against the government in Afghanistan and the West. Almost all Taliban leaders, including Mullah Mohammad Omar, were trained in Pakistani madrasas.
