#1 As a side note, this could be used as another bullet point in the "undesirable" category with regards to Turkey's desire for EU membership. Ask Jacques for further details.

#2 The charges came after police arrested at least 25 suspected members of a terrorist cell last week in raids in Bursa and Istanbul. Seven of those detained in Bursa were released Monday after interrogation. Nine questioned in Istanbul also have been released.

16 of 25 released? What?

Koksal said those arrested had also planned to attack a synagogue in Bursa before going to Iraq to fight U.S. soldiers.

Attack a synagogue before going to Iraq to fight US? Geez they talk about it as though it is spring training before baseball season.

I hope these bastards are being watched closely.
(CIA where are you?)

Istanbul / Constantinople NATO meeting. I don't have a warm & fuzzy feeling about this.

Especially since it is right before the "handover" to the IGC of Iraqi Administration.

#3 16 of 25 released? What?

It's not like they're Kurds or anything.
