Former Bush Official, Doug Wead, Jumps Ship, Joins Ron Paul 2012 Campaign
Indicating that the Ron Paul campaign is bringing in the heavy political artillery to win the 2012 Republican nomination for U.S. President, former Special Assistant to George H. W. Bush, Doug Wead-- who played no small part in George W.

Exposed: The secret guns sting that backfired on the US
America's firearms watchdog allowed weapons to flow in, failed to catch ringleaders, then tried a cover-up

The lethal fallout from a botched operation by the US Department of Justice which allowed almost 2,000 illegally purchased firearms to be transported from the streets of Arizona to drug gangs in Mexico has been laid bare in a scathing Congressional report, which concludes that it resulted in countless deaths.
A mixture of arrogance, over-confidence, and staggering ineptitude by the Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [ATF] was outlined in a 51-page investigation by two Republican members of a House panel charged with getting to the bottom of what went wrong during a two-year operation called "Fast and Furious".
Egypt declines World Bank loan as incompatible with national interest
The government has declined a loan from the World Bank because it found the terms of the loan incompatible with the national interest, Egyptian Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Fayza Abul Naga said on Monday.

Rustin J. Umstattd, assistant professor of theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary added:

It should be our goal to let the Bible be the source and shaper of our doctrine.”
In other words, Christians cannot allow their instincts to inform their theology, only Scripture.
But this rationale represents a major inconsistency in Baptist teaching.
