For Native American Women, Scourge of Rape, Rare Justice
The issue of sexual assaults on American Indian women has become one of the major sources of discord in the current debate between the White House and the House of Representatives over the latest reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act of 1994.
.......
“We should never have a woman come into the office saying, ‘I need to learn more about Plan B for when my daughter gets raped,’ ” said Charon Asetoyer, a women’s health advocate on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, referring to the morning-after pill. “That’s what’s so frightening — that it’s more expected than unexpected. It has become a norm for young women.”
The difficulties facing American Indian women who have been raped are myriad, and include a shortage of sexual assault kits at Indian Health Service hospitals, where there is also a lack of access to birth control and sexually transmitted disease testing. There are also too few nurses trained to perform rape examinations, which are generally necessary to bring cases to trial.

By Ismail Kahn, New York Times, May 23/24, 2012
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A Pakistani doctor who helped the Central Intelligence Agency pin down Osama bin Laden's location under cover of a vaccination drive was convicted on Wednesday of treason and sentenced to 33 years in prison, a senior official in Pakistan said.
A tribal court here in northwestern Pakistan found the doctor, Shakil Afridi, guilty of acting against the state, said Mutahir Zeb Khan, the administrator for the Khyber tribal region [....]

Russia lawmakers advance bill on penalties for protesters
By Sergei L. Loiko, Los Angeles Times, May 23, 2012
MOSCOW — Stiff new penalties aimed at opposition protesters were given preliminary approval Tuesday by Russian lawmakers loyal to President Vladimir Putin, the target of mass rallies and demonstrations before his March election victory.
The bill, which opposition parliament members termed draconian and protested by threatening to file out of a legislative session, calls for fines of up to $50,000 and up to 200 hours of community service for organizers of rallies and demonstrations that grow violent or exceed the approved number of participants.
The sanctions were approved on first reading by parliament's lower house, which is controlled by Putin's United Russia party. They mark a return by the Kremlin to a tough stance against critics after concessions during the recent election campaign [...]

In Cuba, Mystery Shrouds the Fate of an Undersea Internet...
Associated Press, May 21, 2012
HAVANA — It was all sunshine, smiles and celebratory speeches as officials marked the arrival of an undersea fiber-optic cable they promised would end Cuba's Internet isolation and boost web capacity 3,000-fold. Even a retired Fidel Castro had hailed the dawn of a new cyber-age on the island.
More than a year after the February 2011 ceremony on Siboney Beach in eastern Cuba, and 10 months after the system was supposed to have gone online, the government never mentions the cable anymore, and Internet here remains the slowest in the hemisphere. People talk quietly about embezzlement torpedoing the project and the arrest of more than a half-dozen senior telecom officials.
Perhaps most maddening, nobody has explained what happened to the much-ballyhooed $70 million project....

Domestic violence is biggest threat to west Africa's...
By Tamasin Ford in Monrovia, Guardian.co.uk, May 22, 2012
Husbands, not strangers or men with guns, are now the biggest threat to women in post-conflict west Africa, according to a report by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) released on Tuesday.
The IRC report, Let Me Not Die Before My Time: Domestic Violence in West Africa, based on data collected over 10 years by the IRC in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ivory Coast, said domestic violence is the "most urgent, pervasive and significant protection issue for women in west Africa" [.....]

The Golden Legacy Package is indeed impressive and it's understood that anyone who has to ask the price obviously can't afford it. But I'm wondering if there is an ala carte service or a MacPackage for state and county employees looking to retire in privacy. Could this be a franchise opportunity?
We considered the market but concluded that it wasn't profitable, state and municipal coffers being what they are these says.
Impressively stealthy with a travel agency number and a non-existent domain!
As part of the service, do I get to hobnob with fellow getawayers? I'd really like to ask Mr. Mubarak about his cat.
Sorry, GeofhrisKhzn, unless you've subjugated a nation of at least 20 million citizens for 10 years or more, you are not eligible for our service.
Have you considered dropping the 10 years to a minimum of 5 for those qualifying for a "genocide special", available to those who have eliminated 30% or more of their populations while in office?
While moral considerations may not be figuring prominently in your launch effort so far, even unusually evil despots are people, too, after all.
I thought you might throw in some "Well. Don't let the people bastards get you down"-type language to perhaps intensify the emotional appeal for those despots feeling especially unappreciated, unloved, and perhaps a bit frazzled and desperate at the time they come upon this ad.
Brilliant. I wasn't clever enough.
May I suggest a theme song, for your professional cleaners division ?

Is this serious? It reads like it's serious. Nobody could be such an asshole to write such a blatant pitch for business at a time like this. I'm offended.
This adman/blogger is a terrible person.
And hates Jesus.
The Worlds full of them.
Like FISH and mosquitoes the farther North you go the bigger they are.
A rescue package for despots?
Mubarek?
Huh.
He came to mind third....after Bush and Cheney.
Pah. When Bush-Cheney eliminate opposition parties and rule the nation with an iron fist for 30 years, then we'll talk.
However as junior applicants, having just destroyed the U.S. middle class without firing a shot, they should receive free celebrity seating at all major sports events--which would be especially classy (even for a Bush) if provided at the same time that the serfs were denied the very bleacher seats they paid for with their hard earned money.
You forgot to include for a nominal fee, the crack security team is also capable of mounting land and aerial reconnaissance to plan a winning scenario enabling you to take back your government with the use of our battle-proven force of para-military mercenaries highly capable of using land, air and naval forces with the lastest weapons technology not curentlyavailble on the market to capture key governmental facilities, neutralize any and all opposing military forces and securing vital industrial areas from sabotage during you comeback to power.
Jeez, for a minute there I thought you were going to offer them chocolate, too. No chocolate leaves the building while I'm around. Remember that.
There's chocolate?
Did I say chocolate?
Can you offer up some testimonials? Did Ferdinand Marcos enjoy using your service?
Genghis is not just the DACS® President, he's also a member!
Trudeau today seems pertinent to this thread...http://www.doonesbury.com/strip although the dictator in that strip appears still to be in the denial phase, not yet persuaded of the need to take a hard look at his exit options...
your wish is my command, genghis! dagblog is added to skippy's roll!
Thanks, skippy. Come by any time.
T'aint funny McGee.
Am I paranoid, or is this targeted at me?
And you are. . . .?
So, Genghis, has the agency been contacted by a former dictator in need of assistance within the last hour or so?
The phone is ringing off the hook, but all of our resources are now dedicated to my own resignation. It appears that sacking Wolfrum was not sufficient to appease the people.
Wow--getting pretty ugly out there when the people who are trying to help the depressed and needy dictators are themselves having to seek refuge. Is there an outfit that offers services to people who formerly worked for agencies such as yours? Kind of a secondary market niche of sorts, perhaps?
Time for (ahem) the women to take over.
