A young Afghan who was detained without charge for more than six years at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay,, Cuba plans to sue the U.S. government. A lawyer for Mohammed Jawad,, Maj. Eric Montalvo,, announced the action in Kabul Thursday. Jawad returned to Afghanistan this week after a U.S. federal judge ruled he had been detained illegally. The judge called his case "an outrage." His lawyer,, appointed by the U.S. military,, praised the ruling -- but said a better legal system must be established to fairly process other detainees. Jawad was arrested in Afghanistan in 2002 for allegedly throwing a grenade that wounded two U.S. soldiers. His attorneys say he was 12 years old at the time of his arrest,, while the U.S. military said medical tests showed he was about 17. Some information for this report was provided by AFP,, AP and Reuters.

Gordon Brown (File photo) It is a mixed picture on the world markets,, with Asian trading centers gaining ground on news of the U.S. House of Representatives passing the Obama administration's stimulus plan,, but the share trend in Europe is downward. As the massive U.S. stimulus package passed its first congressional hurdle,, Asian markets responded by closing higher. Japan's Nikkei index picked up nearly two percent on the day while Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 4.6 percent. But the positive psychological impact in Asia did not carry over when the European markets opened for business. A variety of negative reports kept downward pressure on trade. Germany's unemployment shooting up nearly a full percentage point to 8.3 percent in January did not help. Banks remained extremely volatile. After leaping up on Wednesday,, it was back down to earth for institutions such as Lloyds,, Barclays and HSBC. Next week,, traders will be watching closely to see how the U.S. stimulus package progresses through the U.S. Senate. The program has some similar elements to those being tried in Britain. A Japanese electrician walks by a Tokyo brokerage's electronic board,, Jan. 27,, 09. Prime Minister Gordon Brown again defended his plan of spending his way out of this tough recession. "With the action we are taking both here and abroad we will get through this and we will move forward to better times beyond,," he said. "We will do this together marshaling all the resources at our disposal and uniting as a nation,, central government,, local government,, businesses and trades unions all willing partners working together." About the only thing people in Britain can agree on is that things will get tougher before they improve. The European Central Bank said it could slash interest rates to record lows as the bad economic news keeps coming. All indications are unemployment in Europe will continue to rise in 2009 and company profit warnings are expected to become more and more common.

, Tony Blair's already tarnished reputation has taken another blow with former prime minister John Major now questioning his successor's motive for joining in the invasion of Iraq. Looking back to the events of nearly seven years,, Major says he -- at the time -– believed Blair when he would outline his reasons for going to war. "I supported the Iraq war because I believed what the prime minister said. I had myself been prime minister in the first Gulf war and I knew that when I said something I was utterly certain that it was correct and I said less than I know,," he said. "I assumed the same thing had happened and on that basis I supported reluctantly the second Iraq war." Interviewed on the BBC,, Major refused to be drawn on whether he thought that Blair deliberately misled the country when he took Britain to war. Major said it is for others to judge. A high-powered inquiry into Britain's entry and involvement in the Iraq war is currently under way in London and Blair will give evidence in the coming weeks. Just last month,, Blair was asked in a BBC interview what he would have done if he had known that Saddam did not hold any weapons of mass destruction in 2003. His response came up just short of saying he would have made the case for regime change,, but he did say he would have had to couch his arguments for British involvement differently. And that argument,, as Major says,, is fraught with problems. "The argument that Saddam Hussein was a bad man and therefore must be removed simply will not do,," he added. "There are many bad men around the world who run countries and we do not topple them. And indeed,, in earlier years we had actually supported Saddam when he was fighting against Iran. So,, the argument that someone is a bad man is an inadequate argument for war and certainly an inadequate and unacceptable argument for regime change." Major says it is imperative for the inquiry to determine whether Blair's cabinet knew that there were serious doubts about whether there actually were any weapons of mass destruction in the weeks and months ahead of the invasion. He adds,, concerns about the war here need to be addressed if public trust in British politics was to be restored.

after the last of eight Asian nations
South Korean visitors look at a map showing a proposed Asian railway routes during a Transport & Logistics Fair 2006 in Busan,, Korea on Nov. 10, 2006.

Asian nations have agreed to form a network of railroads that aims to connect 28 countries in the region to each other and Europe. The Trans-Asian Railway holds out the promise of improved trade,, transport,, and integration. But,, forming the massive network is no small challenge. The agreement to form a Trans-Asian Railway Network has been in the works since the 1960s,, but was held up by wars and ideological conflict. The UN-sponsored agreement finally came into force Thursday, after the last of eight Asian nations, the minimum number required,, signed on. The agreement commits the countries to coordinate the development and operation of international rail routes that would eventually link 28 nations in the region. Noeleen Heyzer is the executive secretary of the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Speaking at a ceremony in Bangkok marking the event,, she said the rail network would help form the "backbone" of regional trade. "This would be a tremendous opportunity not just to improve the physical infrastructure,, but also the governance infrastructure,, as well as the human capacity infrastructure of our region as we become a more coordinated Asia,," said Heyzer. The connecting rail arteries would span from Turkey to China to Singapore, and would open up land-locked nations and remote areas to development. Heyzer said the timing of the agreement was particularly significant as Asia is looking to promote trade and investment to stimulate economic recovery. The planned network would be made up of 114,000 kilometers of railway lines, linking stations designed as "dry" trading ports to coastal ports. But 8,,300 kilometers of the rails have not been built and will cost an estimated $25 billion. Billions more will have to be spent on upgrading existing railroads. Heyzer says the countries would also have to work out cross-border problems,, including technical and legal standards and customs procedures. But she held out hope they would only need a matter of years to sort out the problems, rather than the decades it took to agree to form the Trans-Asian Railway. 相关的主题文章： <ul> </li> </li> <a href="kusns/home/space.php?uid=29931&do=blog&id=356440" target="_blank">kusns/home/space.php?uid=29931&do=blog&id=356440</a></li> On Thursday, each candidate city will open publicity booths to make their pitches to individual IOC members who visit.

The National Virtual Translation Center
, A U.S. government agency is using the term "East Sea" for the body of water between Korea and Japan on its map of the Korean Peninsula. The National Virtual Translation Center,, which provides translated information from foreign countries to the U.S. intelligence community,, is now using this map for its Korea introduction page. The map the center posted is a revised version of the one the CIA uses labeling the waters as the "Sea of Japan." With the change,, other American government agencies are expected to follow suit. However,, the site still lists "Sea of Japan" on its Japanese page.
