What We're Reading

Iran's hardliners warned President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that he could be deposed if he continues to defy Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Meanwhile, the government freed 140 opposition activists detained during election protests after Khamenei ordered a prison closed because of allegations of substandard conditions and abuses.

On his second day of a previously unannounced Iraq visit, Defense Secretary Robert Gates urged Iraq's ethnic Kurds and majority Arabs to resolve their entrenched disputes over oil and land. Gates also said that security conditions are improving in the war-torn country, and the U.S. may speed up the withdrawal of U.S. forces, which will soon be the only foreign troops left in Iraq. Meanwhile, Iraqi forces clashed with an Iranian opposition group in exile, which some analysts take as a sign that American influence is waning while Iranian clout rises.

U.S. and Chinese officials ended two days of talks in Washington, but failed to make substantial progress on climate change. China said that industrialized nations must agree to make substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions if a deal is to be struck at the U.N.-led talks in December.

The U.S. urged the E.U. to send more aid to Pakistani refugees.

Saudi Arabia rebuffed U.S. calls for diplomatic overtures to Israel, faulting the Jewish state's continued settlement expansion.

Ireland has agreed to accept two Guantanamo detainees. Meanwhile, President Obama is facing a court battle over the fate of an Afghani man held in Guantanamo since 2002.

Congress should create an independent blue-ribbon panel or similar body to investigate a host of previously unreviewable activities of the Bush administration, including its detention, interrogation and surveillance programs. Only by chronicling and confronting the past in a comprehensive, bipartisan fashion can we reclaim our moral authority and establish a credible path forward to meet the complex challenges of a post-Sept. 11 world. replica rolex

The Moray comes in a unique military style roll up case which houses the Replica Lancaster Watches and all the accessories. It includes a wide set of accessories like an extra butterfly clasp, two additional leather straps, and tools to change the strap and size the bracelet. All of the accessories, warranty card, and spare links can fit in the roll up case and are secured by a leather strap. The Replica Gucci Watches comes with a lot of accessories and this is a nice and accessible way to store them.A word of advice: the Replica Emporio Armani Watches I received had never had the bracelet removed, and I must admit that I snapped a lug screw clean out of the fitting when trying to remove it. After speaking directly with Steve at Benarus, I learned that a defect at the factory left some of the Replica Boucheron Watches with loc-tite on the lug screws. This is an unfortunate way to get a Replica Burberry Watches -- second-hand deal not-withstanding. Steve was kind enough to send a set of lug screws via mail, and in the process, portrayed one of the best reasons to consider a good boutique brand for your next Replica Calvin Klein Watches: top notch customer service. A couple of emails and what could have been a nightmare for a buyer new to the brand turned into an opportunity for a repeat purchase. Once the new lug bars were installed, I quickly removed the bracelet and tried out the included leather straps. My set came with a thick high tan leather (almost a suede finish), and a classy black alligator strap. Both are very nice, but this Replica DKNY Watches is best on the bracelet. It is fantastically well built: a 5 link screwed in design that is quiet and has yet to pull any hairs.I also tried the Replica Citizen Watches on a run down Hirsch Liberty (Replica Givenchy Watches), and a Maratac Elite composite strap. The Benarus Moray seems to look good on anything. After many changes (the new screws are holding up brilliantly), I have settled on the bracelet; it is one of the few examples that would be comparable to the bracelet on the Seiko Monster (SKX779) and thanks to screwed links (not collar pins), the Benarus bracelet is far easier to size. The case is likely my favorite part of this Replica Guess Watches; nothing I have ever had compares to the shape and finish of the Moray case.
