(Globalpulse: July 10, 2008) The world watched as Colombian soldiers "fooled" the rebel group FARC into releasing 15 hostages including 3 Americans and Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt. The Colombian government claimed the entire operation was implemented without guns, without ransom, and solely by the Colombians. But what about $20 million dollars?

(June 26, 2008) While the Iraq and Afghanistan wars rage on, consistent coverage of these conflicts is disappearing from network news.

(June 12, 2008) To ban or not to ban, that is the issue in Turkey. The pro-Islamic government tried to overturn a ban on women wearing headscarves in the universities. But the Supreme Court says no, lifting the ban would violate Turkey's strict constitution that separates church and state. For violating the constitution the ruling party could be banned from politics - a controversial move as the party has been elected twice by the people.
