Europe Terror Threat Caught Between Caution and Alarm - TIMEUGGS SchoenenUGGS Outlet

Tourists peer through the railings of Buckingham Palace in central London, October 5, 2010. The United States and Britain warned their citizens on Sunday of an increased risk of terrorist attacks in Europe

Tweet Digg

Given the thickening flurry of terror-related developments around the world — intelligence discoveries, counter-terrorism efforts,UGGS Schoenen, rising threat levels — the global public,UGGS Outlet, and people in Europe in particular, could be forgiven for reading them as worrying signs of a looming strike on Western soil. Yet despite the feeling that all this activity is reaching a critical mass, European security officials stress that they have no reason to believe an attack is imminent. And they note that while the general terror threat is indeed relatively high, it is not acute.

"When reliable information about terror planning or intent comes to you — especially from different regions at once — the significance and multiplicity of that forces you to consider the overall atmosphere and threat of attack higher than before," says a European counter-terrorism official who requested neither his name nor nationality be revealed. "But when that information isn't specific enough to indicate the nature, timing, venues, or people likely to be involved in the contemplated attacks, then you can't view a strike as imminent — despite the generally higher level of alert. That's where we are in Europe today." (See TIME's photo essay "The Mumbai Attacks: One Year Later.")

The reasons for this collective caution are as disparate as the counter-terrorism actions being taken in the hopes of easing it. Getting the most attention is the threat emanating from the Afghan-Pakistani border area, which U.S. drones continued to pound this week with the aim of disrupting or atomizing radicals thought to be orchestrating a series of attacks for export to Europe. U.S. intelligence agencies learned of the plot after the July arrest of German national Ahmed Sidiqi in Afghanistan. During interrogation, Sidiqi revealed that he'd been told by extremist leaders allied with al-Qaeda that commando groups were planning to mount attacks against soft targets in several European countries, notably France, Germany, and England. Though indications suggested the preparations hadn't gotten beyond the formative stages,UGG Outlet Store, U.S. officials decided to proceed with an unprecedented number of drone attacks in Pakistani tribal zones, where organizers of the plot and their operatives were thought to be hunkered down.

The result: One British national suspected of having been tasked with leading a newly mounted group to carry out terror attacks in the U.K. was killed during a September drone strike. This week, media reports said four German nationals were killed by drones in North Waziristan, where they were believed to have been plotting terror attacks with al-Qaeda leaders. Though all of this seemed to confirm Sidiqi's revelation that al-Qaeda leaders had very clear intentions of unrolling attacks in Europe,Giubbotti Moncler, any actual plans to do so don't seem to have advanced very far — a point that unnamed intelligence sources from various countries have stressed to the media. (See pictures of the battle against the Taliban.)

Still,UGGS Kopen, on Oct. 3, the U.S. issued a mild travel warning for its citizens headed to Europe, while the U.K. raised its estimated terror threat for France and Germany — but left its own domestic alert level at "severe." Late on Oct. 5, Paris reciprocated by issuing a U.K. security warning to French voyagers.

On Wednesday, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere suggested that everyone around Europe should remain realistic about the terror risk — but without going overboard. "No one should doubt that Germany is a target for terrorists, but on the other hand there are no concrete, immediate attack plans that we are aware of,UGGS Laarzen," he told Deutschlandfunk German radio. "Public discussion is something terrorists use because they want to spread fear."

But sometimes police action appears to contradict the message to keep calm. In France,UGG Online, 12 people were arrested in a series of raids Oct. 5 — including three people suspected of providing false identity papers and safe housing for Europeans traveling to and from the Afghan-Pakistani region to receive training from and fight with the Taliban. Though the network involved had been under surveillance for some time, the operation was ordered after the Oct. 2 arrest of a 28-year-old French man of Algerian origin in the Naples train station, where he was found to be carrying a bomb-making "kit". Tuesday's sweeps were prompted by the discovery of the names and numbers of the three main suspects on his cell phone. (See pictures of Pakistan's class divisions and ethnic rivalries.)

Jean-Louis Bruguière, formerly France's top anti-terrorism official, says all European nations are paying close attention to movement and planning in the Pakistan border area, because "since 2008, as Islamist networks in Europe have re-focused full attention on the Afghan jihad, we've all seen an increasing flow of Europeans traveling to the region for combat and terror training." Despite that, Bruguière repeats the view of French security officials that the most immediate threat for France is North Africa's al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb. "It has proven its stated strike out at France by kidnapping French citizens in Africa," he says,uggs outlet nederland, "which means we're taking its promises to unleash violence on French soil more seriously than ever."

See why a terrorist strike on Europe risks geopolitical meltdown.

Has the European terrorism threat been overhyped?

'The Wish and Will of the People Are Not Stoppable' - TIMEUGG Bailey Button TripletUGG Online Shop

China's Premier Wen Jiabao expresses his condolences to survivors after a deadly flood-triggered landslide hit the area of Zhouqu, in northwest China's Gansu province.

Tweet Digg

On Oct. 3,UGG Bailey Button Triplet, Fareed Zakaria spoke to Premier Wen Jiabao on his CNN program Fareed Zakaria GPS. Excerpts:

Do you feel that the global economy is stable and strong? Or do you worry that the U.S. could go back into a recession?
I think the world economy is recovering,UGG Online Shop, although the process of recovery is a slow and torturous one. I hope that there will be a quick recovery of the U.S. economy, because, after all, the U.S. economy is the largest in the world. I have taken note of the recent policies and measures taken by President Obama. I think these are on the right track.

What lesson have you drawn from the financial crisis? Have you lost faith in American macroeconomic management?
The biggest lesson that I have drawn from the financial crisis is that, in managing the affairs of a country, it's important to pay close attention to addressing the structural problems in the economy. China has achieved enormous progress in its development. Yet I was one of the first to argue that our economic development still lacks balance, coordination and sustainability. This financial crisis has reinforced my view. As far as the U.S. economy is concerned, I have always believed that it is solidly based. The U.S. has the strength of scientific and technological talent and managerial expertise. In spite of the twists and turns, the U.S., I believe, will tide over the crisis. (See TIME's special report "World Economic Forum: Davos 2010.")

Can China be a strong and creative nation with so many restrictions on freedom of expression and the Internet being censored?
I believe freedom of speech is indispensable for any country. Freedom of speech has been incorporated into the Chinese constitution. In China there are about 400 million Internet users and 800 million mobile-phone subscribers. They can access the Internet to express their views,Moncler Jassen, including critical views. I often say that we should not only let people have the freedom of speech; we,UGGS Kensington, more important, must create conditions to let them criticize the work of the government. All this must be conducted within the range allowed by the constitution and the laws so that the country will have normal order. And that is all the more necessary for such a large country as China, with 1.3 billion people.

I was particularly struck by a speech you gave in Shenzhen in which you said, "Along with economic reform, we must keep doing political reform." But a lot of Chinese people say there has not been much political reform over the past six or seven years.
I have summed up my political ideals in the following four sentences: To let everyone lead a happy life with dignity. To let everyone feel safe and secure. To let the society be one with equality and justice. And to let everyone have confidence in the future. In spite of the various discussions and views in the society, and in spite of some resistance,Piumini Moncler, I will act in accordance with these ideals unswervingly and advance, within the realm of my capabilities, political restructuring. (See a brief history of Chinese democracy.)

Wouldn't it be good for China to allow a more substantial appreciation of the renminbi?
There are three points. First,Moncler Jassen Online, China does not pursue a trade surplus. Our objective in having foreign trade is to have balanced and sustainable trade with other countries, and we want to have a basic equilibrium in our balance of payments. Second, the increase of a trade surplus of a country is not necessarily linked with the exchange policy of that country. The third point is that the trade imbalance between our two countries is mainly structural in nature. Many Chinese exports to the U.S. are no longer produced in the U.S., and I don't believe that the U.S. will restart the production of those products — products that are at the low end of the value-added chain. Even if you don't buy them from China, you still have to buy them from India,UGGS Schoenen, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh. And that will not help resolve the trade imbalance between our two countries.

Is there a book you've read in the past few months that has impressed you?
The books that are always on my shelves are books about history, because I believe history is like a mirror, and I like to read both Chinese history and history of foreign countries. There are two books that I often travel with. One is The Theory of Moral Sentiments, by Adam Smith. The other is The Meditations [of Marcus Aurelius]. There are too many memoirs selling nowadays. I don't like reading those books.

You have spoken of your determination to continue political reform. Do you believe that the next generation of Chinese leaders will keep trying to press your vision?
First, as the Chinese saying goes, as the Yangtze River forges ahead waves upon waves, the new generation will invariably surpass the old. I have confidence that the future Chinese leadership will excel the previous one. Second, it is the people and the strength of the people that determine the future of the country and history. The wish and will of the people are not stoppable. Those who go along with the trend will thrive,UGGS Kopen, and those who go against the trend will fail.

Prop 19 Analysis Will Marijuana Legalization Increase Use – TIME HealUGG KensingtonMoncler Jassen

As California moves toward the legalization of marijuana ― next month, voters will decide on Proposition 19, the Regulate,UGG Kensington, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010 ― a key question remains: could the new law produce a whole generation of stoners? Opponents of legalization say, yes, fearing it will lead to a massive increase in pot smoking among youth. But some supporters suggest the opposite: legalizing cannabis could de-glamorize it and ultimately prompt reductions in toking. Who's right?


That question is surprisingly hard to answer, but two recent research reports offer some potentially useful insight. The first,Moncler Jassen, a Rand Corporation report that led to related testimony before the California legislature on Sept. 21, discusses the effects of price changes and taxation on consumption of drugs. (More on Time.com: What's in Your Marijuana? Some Pot Doesn't Rot Your Memory)


A newer report, released Thursday, comes from the new scientist-led International Centre for Science in Drug Policy (ICSDP). It takes a historical look at how U.S. drug policy has affected use,UGGS Kopen, and suggests how to regulate drugs effectively.


One thing the ICSDP report makes clear is that current U.S. drug policy has no effect on marijuana prices or use. While spending on federal drug law enforcement has increased 1,200% and marijuana arrests have risen 150% since 1981, the rate of marijuana use nationwide has bounced around, with no relationship to these efforts.



"No scientific evidence demonstrates an association between the amount of money governments spend on drug law enforcement and rates of drug use," says Dr. Evan Wood, a professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia, founder of ICSDP and lead author of the report. "And some nations like the U.S., which spend the most have among the highest rates of drug use." (More on Time.com: 30 Years Since 'Jimmy's World': The Media and Drugs)


Meanwhile, according to national surveys, high school students continue to report that marijuana is universally available, purity has increased and prices have fallen.



The Rand report forecasts how legalization and taxation of marijuana could affect its market price and overall use in California. Although the public tends to view drug users, and addicts in particular, as too irrational and irresponsible to base their behavior on drug prices, research debunks these notions. Studies on legal drugs, such as alcohol and tobacco, for example, show that taxing them and raising prices can often be quite effective in lowering consumption ― even among the heaviest users. "After legalization, we expect a large price drop. That's the biggest take away message from this report,UGGS Online Bestellen," says Beau Kilmer, co-director of the Rand Drug Policy Research Center and lead author of the report. "We expect the price [of marijuana] to drop at least 80%. There are a couple of other figures out there, ours falls in the middle and you can quibble about the details but there's a general agreement that the price will drop."


The trick is to determining how high to set the tax ― the price has to be high enough to minimize consumption, but low enough to avoid creating a black market. Kilmer says that the current price for an ounce of good sinsemilla (a type of highly potent marijuana) ranges from $250 to $400. "If that drops down to $50 to $60 an ounce, it would require a really large tax to get [the price back up to that level]. But if the tax is set too high, [we] worry about tax evasion,UGG Knightsbridge," he says. (More on Time.com: Is Drug Use Really on the Rise?)


Experts disagree on how much tax evasion occurs under California's tobacco tax regime, with smokers ordering cigarettes by mail to avoid state taxes, for instance. Some put the figure at 1% to 4%, but the agency that administers the state's tobacco taxes has said that the rate is more like 15%. Either way, the majority of cigarette taxes do seem to be paid rather than evaded.


Kilmer notes, however, that if Prop 19 passes, each local jurisdiction can set its own tax rate, which could prompt a "race to the bottom,Moncler Sito Ufficiale," as localities compete for a piece of the pie. "Regardless of how you feel about Prop 19, how to stop a race to the bottom is going to be important for everyone. No one wins if we end up with a really low tax rate on a really low price," Kilmer says.?To prevent that, he suggests that the state government could withhold certain types of funding to localities that set marijuana taxes under a certain limit.


But let's say the price of marijuana does end up dropping precipitously. What effect might that have on consumption? Neither report can answer that. "Ultimately, we don't come up with a conclusion at all on a consumption increase," Kilmer says, explaining that many factors other than price can affect use.


The highest rates of marijuana use reported in the U.S. were in the late 1970s and early '80s, despite harsh drug laws. At the time 60% of high school seniors reported trying marijuana at least once; by comparison, the rate in 2009 was 42%. And what became of Generation X? The kids seem to have turned out all right.


Other countries that have decriminalized or quasi-legalized marijuana ― such as Portugal and Holland ― also have not seen social disasters because of their drug laws. In fact, they have benefited from reduced enforcement costs and increased access to addiction treatment.


One study did find that rates of marijuana use among Dutch youth increased when "coffee shops" ― cafes where selling and smoking of marijuana are permitted ― were proliferating and being widely marketed. But, overall, even those elevated rates of use were no higher than U.S. rates under marijuana prohibition. "It wasn't the decriminalization,UGG store, it was commercialization that could have caused this," says Kilmer.


Advertising and commercialization may end up being cause for concern in the U.S. as well, given that medical marijuana ads already seem to be sustaining some newspapers. But, then again, even if Prop 19 passes, marijuana wouldn't be completely legal ― it would still be prohibited under federal drug laws,Moncler Outlet, which could put pressure on the Obama Administration to enforce them (though this Wall Street Journal article suggests that supporting legalization measures could be a boon for Democrats ― putting similar measures on other states' ballots could draw out some key voters on Election Day).


Many questions remain about what will happen if Proposition 19 passes, but the only result I can unequivocally predict is that drug policy debates will finally become less theoretical ― and much more interesting.
