SelbstgesprÀche im Parlament: Der Bundestag in Zeiten der #GroKo
11 der folgenden 13 Redner kamen von der GroĂen Koalition, die Opposition durfte in den nĂ€chsten anderthalb Stunden zweimal ans Mikrofon – und zwar fĂŒr insgesamt 10 Minuten. Der Korrespondent von sueddeutsche.de, Thorsten Denkler, suchte gelangweilt das Weite – er sah in den SelbstgesprĂ€chen der GroKo keinen erkennbaren Mehrwert:
„Ab jetzt nur noch #groko-Redner in der ohnehin schon mĂŒden Debatte. Ich melde mich ab. #bundestag
â Thorsten Denkler (@thodenk) 18. Dezember 2013“

By Staff writer | Al Arabiya News
Sunday, 22 December 2013 (..)
Car bombs and assassinations of army and police officers are common in Benghazi, where troops have clashed regularly with militants from the hardline Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia.
But a suicide bombing would mark a shift in tactics to fit a pattern common in other Islamist struggles in the Middle East, but not in Libya either during or since the uprising that brought down Muammar Qaddafi.

White House Tries to Prevent Judge From Ruling on Surveillance Efforts
âDisclosure of this still-classified information regarding the scope and operational details of N.S.A. intelligence activities implicated by plaintiffsâ allegations could be expected to cause extremely grave damage to the national security of the United States,â wrote the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr.
So, he said, he was continuing to assert the state secrets privilege, which allows the government to seek to block information from being used in court even if that means the case must be dismissed. The Justice Department wants the judge to dismiss the matter without ruling on whether the programs violated the First or Fourth Amendment.

Egyptâs constitutional midnight
Egypt heads to its constitutional midnight moment without its draft constitution being the supreme law of the land. After the 2012 constitution under the deposed President Mohamed Morsi was suspended, a 50-member panel entrusted with drafting the new document approved it on 1 December. A simple majority referendum has been put forward for 14 and 15 January. After a hasty two months of drafting, neither the military, legislature, judiciary, nor the president are bound by the constitution. And yet Amr Moussa, chairman of the outgoing 50-member drafting committee and a long time foreign minister and secretary-general of the Arab League, has predicted the referendum would pass with a 70 percent âyesâ vote.
