Interesting development. It's nice to think they just want independence, do not want occupation, and have no interest in harming other countries.
Their refusal as a pre-condition to talks to break allegiance with al-Queda, of course known to sponsor global violence against western states, makes their proclamations a bit dubious.
Guess it's worth having the talks.
Afghanistan deserves one day to have peaceful, self-determination.
Not sure the Taliban helps as much as hurts those goals.

Solar plane lands at Washington on journey across U.S. - Yahoo! News
Nice!
"(Reuters) - An airplane entirely powered by the sun landed in Washington on Sunday after a flight from St. Louis, the next-to-last leg of a journey across the United States intended to boost support for clean energy technologies."
"The aircraft is propelled by energy collected from 12,000 solar cells in its wings that simultaneously recharge batteries for night use."

Report: Bank Traders Manipulated Foreign Exchange Rate Worth Trillions
Headlines for June 14, 2013 | Democracy Now!
"Traders said the rigging is accomplished by executing deals before and during the minute-long windows when benchmarks are set. The report says the activities happened daily for at least a decade."
Matt Taibbi wrote in his blog for Rolling Stone, "if this story is true, it would almost certainly trump LIBOR for scale/horribleness."
These lost funds should be coughed up by the bankers who profited, and returned to the 98%-class investors who got bilked. And there should be jail time for those manipulating bank traders.

Immigration bill passes Senate hurdle but Obama effort angers some | World news | guardian.co.uk
We need to adopt a forward thinking policy, and could use the tax revenue, that immigration reform can provide. Both for US citizens, those who'd like to be, and for those already here.
Please complete a legislation Congress, it's about time. Actually, it's WAY overdue.

This is very, very, very, very not good. The US is far over-reaching the comfort level, privacy, and rights of the citizens. Very, very, very not good, and needs to change ASAP.

California native fish could disappear with climate change - latimes.com
California native fish could disappear with climate change - latimes.com
82% of our native fish are threatened. Unbelievable. In the third largest state in the country.
Nothing to see here people, carry on. Nothing of note oil and coal people, and climate deniers, just the future of our species you are fucking with, and for which you should and will be held legally responsible.
