		<description><![CDATA[Roger Cohen writes: Here’s what the United Nations report on Israel’s raid last year on the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara had to say about the killing of a 19-year-old U.S. citizen on board: “At least one of those killed, Furkan Dogan, was shot at extremely close range.

		<description><![CDATA[While Israel&#8217;s ability to develop internally as a democracy is shackled by the undemocratic nature of Zionism, it&#8217;s hardly surprising that the growth of democracy outside Israel &#8212; notably in Turkey and Egypt &#8212; presents a conundrum for the Jewish state: how can harmonious relations be maintained with historically friendly governments without also attempting to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Wall Street Journal reports: The Central Intelligence Agency and Libyan intelligence services developed such a tight relationship during the George W. Bush administration that the U.S. shipped terror suspects to Libya for interrogation and suggested the questions they should be asked, according to documents found in Libya&#8217;s External Security agency headquarters. The relationship was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The long-delayed and long-awaited UN report [PDF] on the Mavi Marmara massacre has finally been released by the New York Times. I guess the newspaper feels a responsibility that it should spin this as much in Israel&#8217;s favor as possible before the report get&#8217;s officially released. &#8220;Report Finds Naval Blockade by Israel Legal but Faults [...]]]></description>
