Drought declared in California

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared drought in California. There has been two years of below average rainfall, low snow-melt runoff and a court-ordered restriction on water transfers. The Governor has warned the residents and water managers that they need to cut their use of water supply. If we don't we might have restrictions if we have another dry winter. Schwarzenegger has signed an order to speed up water transfers in the state to areas that are in need of water like farmer fields. I believe everyone should be responsible to cutting their use with water. If we don't crops will suffer and we will have less water for our personal use. Especially since California is big with wild fires, we might not have enough water to put them out and people will loose their homes and maybe even lives. We need water in order to survive.

9/11 suspect: 'I wish to be martyred'

Mohammed wishes to dismiss his lawyers, plead guilty and become a martyr, he said at his long-awaited arraignment at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The judge, Marine Col. Ralph Kohlmann, asked Mohammed numerous times if he understood that he faces the death penalty. Mohammed responded, "That is what I wish. I wish to be martyred."

He told Kohlmann he could not accept any attorney because he only believes in Sharia, or Islamic law.

Mohammed and his four co-defendants, all suspected al Qaeda figures, are being arraigned on numerous charges for their alleged roles in the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on New York and Washington, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

Hamas

Hamas is a Palestinian organization that formed in 1987, that believes that Israel shouldn't even exist. It is seen by its supporters as a legitimate fighting force defending Palestinians from the Israeli military forces. They're has been to drive Israeli forces from the occupied territories. To achieve their goal they have launched attacks on Israeli troops and settlers in the Palestinian territories and against civilians in Israel.

FOOD SHORTAGE ARTICLES

In poor countries the price of the food is raising up too fast.Why? because the production of food is no longer the same as it was decades ago.The production of food is decreasing and the price is raising wildly .Thats what the World Bank believes, it says that 33 countries are in danger of being destabilised by food price inflation. This is important because now we all are going through this. For example the price of rise went up so fast because there is not that much rise to feed all the persons who live here in San Diego.

I think this is important because somehow we are going to suffer this food inflation and its and we need to be prepare.

Pentagon: Suspected Mastermind of USS Cole Bombing Confesses

In the article that I read that people are coming out and confessing about the suicide bombing. A guy named Waleed Mohammad confessed to the bombing of the U.S embassies in Kenya. Waleed said that he did plan the attack and that he purchase the bombs for the attack. What I think about this is that it is so wrong and just immoral to want to kill innocent people just because you do not like there country or the person who runs the country. It seems to me that the top dog the person in charge of making the decisions for the whole country does not get her in any aspect, but the innocent civilians seem to get the most pain and suffering.

Patriot Act

This article is about the law that was passed that is called Patriot Act. This Act gives the federal government the right to tap phone lines check e-mails and search homes on suspicion of acts of terrorism. Which means if the federal government has suspicion of terrorism. This also falls under the jurisdiction of home land security. This Act was passed was passed in haste following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Some people think that the government has the right to keep the country safe so they have to to give up a few things to make shore that their country is is safe. But some have a problem with that. Some say that it brake the Bill of Rights. And you never know if someone might say that the government will take advantage and start to just tab peoples phone called and and search peoples home.
