The Taliban claimed responsibility, saying in a note left at the scene that Mr. Bhatti had been killed for opposing Pakistan’s blasphemy law.In other news, Col. Moamar Ghadafi said in a speech that he would fight to the last Libyan man and woman to prevent the fall of his regime.

Sweden in 'historic' deal on immigration policy
http://www.thelocal.se/32374/20110303/
Sweden's centre-right Alliance government and the Green Party have reached an agreement on changes to the country's immigration policies specifically designed to diminish the influence of the anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats.
The four government parties, the Moderates, Christian Democrats, Centre Party, and Liberal Party (Folkpartiet) have forged a comprehensive framework agreement with the Greens which Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt called "historic".
"This lays the long-term groundwork for a humane, just, and orderly migration policy," he said during a Thursday morning press conference.
He added that the agreement means that Sweden has made a clear choice about where the country's migration policies are heading.
Now its a "migration policy," not an immigration policy. This nomenclature points to whose perspective/pov it is taylored to...to the immigrants, not the citizens of Sweden...to foreign other's interests. Not just a migration policy, but an orderly migration policy.
Yes we can clearly see where the country's orderly migration policy is heading. Colonization by foreigners.
