Those techniques were detailed in four Bush-era legal memos -- one from 2002 and three from 2005 -- released by the @placeholder administration last month. | (CNN) -- The current debate over controversial interrogation practices -- tactics that some say constitute torture -- is rooted in the early years of the fight against terrorism and the Iraq war. The photographs from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq sparked outrage across the globe. After the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, the Bush administration crafted the legal basis for aggressive interrogation techniques of prisoners and terrorism suspects. The techniques included keeping the prisoner in stress positions for extended periods of time, sleep deprivation, slapping, enclosing the prisoner in a box with insects, and waterboarding, which simulates drowning.

"The essence of @placeholder's immigration law has been upheld by today's ruling," Alabama Gov. | (CNN) -- An appeals court on Monday sided with the federal government in blocking several provisions in Alabama and Georgia's controversial anti-illegal immigration laws, while allowing other key parts of those laws to stand. Advocacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and the Southern Poverty Law Center applauded the decisions, with National Immigration Law Center executive director Marielena Hincapie saying in a statement they "should send a strong message that state attempts to criminalize immigrants and their loved ones will not be tolerated." Still, while three judges from the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals did strike down more challenged provisions than they allowed in a pair of rulings, officials from both Alabama and Georgia pointed out that the vast majority of their states' immigration laws remain valid.

Even if the @placeholder moved ahead with the legislation, there was little chance the House, which is led by Republicans, would take it up. | An election-year showdown over a Democratic priority -- raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour -- saw Senate Republicans block the measure on Wednesday, unleashing a torrent of criticism from President Barack Obama and his party. The measure failed to get the 60 votes needed to open debate in the 100-seat Senate, with only one Republican joining majority Democrats in an unsuccessful effort to overcome the GOP filibuster. While another vote on the proposal is possible, Obama and Democrats quickly sought to exploit the measure's initial stumble into political capital for November's congressional elections. "If your member of Congress doesn't support raising the minimum wage, you have to let them know they are out of step and if they keep putting politics ahead of working Americans, you will put them out of office," the President told a White House event that focused on the matter.

"... @placeholder will never withhold any means to gain the release of all of its hostages." | Mogadishu, Somalia (CNN) -- French forces swooped into Somalia for a rescue mission under the cover of darkness, leading to a fierce gunbattle with militants who officials fear killed the hostage, a French intelligence commando. The raid Friday night also left a French soldier and 17 Islamist fighters dead, according to the French defense ministry. Another soldier was missing. French President Francois Hollande acknowledged Saturday that the operation "did not succeed." He said it led to the "sacrifice" of two French soldiers -- the one killed and other missing -- and "maybe the assassination" of hostage Denis Allex, who was a member of the DGSE, France's equivalent of the CIA.

Kali's mother says her condition at @placeholder is improving and the family remains hopeful she will recover - despite the astronomically slim odds | By Michael Zennie and Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 23:19 EST, 5 August 2013 | UPDATED: 03:06 EST, 6 August 2013 Hopes have been raised for a 12-year-old girl fighting for her life after contracting a rare and extremely deadly brain-eating amoeba while swimming at an Arkansas water park. Kali Hardig contracted parasitic meningitis, a very rare form of meningitis that only a 128 people have been diagnosed with this in the U.S. in the past fifty years, more than two weeks ago. As she fights for her life in Arkansas Children's Hospital, the outlook so far has been grim since her disease is 99-percent fatal and most victims die within a week, according to the CDC. But Kali's mom, Traci Hardig, recently stated that she is confident her daughter will be one of the few survivors.

In each house was an average of eight to 10 men, the vast majority of @placeholder origin, police said. | Madrid, Spain (CNN) -- Spanish police said Tuesday they have arrested five more people in connection with a male prostitution ring involving trafficked men. The five were arrested for crimes related to prostitution and the rights of employees, the Spanish National Police said in a statement. The arrests took place at three male brothels in central Madrid, police said. Last week, police announced the arrest of 14 people as part of the investigation into an organization dedicated to the sexual exploitation of men, the first bust of its kind in Spain. The men had all been trafficked from Brazil. One of those trafficked was a 16-year-old Brazilian boy who was found to have performed sexual services for the organization for almost three weeks, Spanish police said Tuesday. His pictures were on a website for the brothel where he was working, they said.

Key issues to be resolved between the new president and Washington include: any continuing U.S. mandate to perform counter-terrorism mission in Afghanistan; extending immunity for @placeholder military personnel; and the fate of Taliban prisoners. | London (CNN) -- With Afghanistan heading to the polls on Saturday, concerns have been voiced about likely electoral irregularities. Abdullah Abdullah, a former foreign minister and leading presidential candidate, has warned the ballot will be marred by "industrial scale fraud" to rival the 1 million votes that were disqualified in the 2009 elections. Despite these concerns, and the prospect of Taliban attacks at polling stations, the ballot is nonetheless a watershed moment in the country's history. It heralds the first democratic transfer of power, and also the end of the post-9/11 Karzai era. Some 13 years after the fall of the Taliban regime, President Hamid Karzai is bequeathing a mixed legacy. To be sure, there are grounds for optimism. Since 2001, for instance, the economy has grown rapidly, and women have more opportunities in much of the country. And as the election underlines, a nascent, albeit dysfunctional, democracy may be taking root after years of Taliban oppression.

"I believe that the president is more aware than me of the scope and seriousness of this crisis," Brahimi said after his meeting with @placeholder. | (CNN) -- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Saturday he is committed to resolving the crisis in his country as long as peace efforts are conducted in "neutrality and independence," state media reported. He addressed the conflict during a meeting in Damascus with Lakhdar Brahimi, the new international envoy to Syria.

The president-elect, universally known as @placeholder, has spoken in favor of direct elections. | Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) -- Indonesia's parliament voted on Friday to do away with direct local elections in a move that critics say is a huge step backward for the country's fledgling democracy. Proponents of the law change, to scrap direct elections for mayors and governors, had argued local elections had proven too costly, and were prone to conflict and corruption. The bill was backed by the coalition behind losing presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto. But critics disagreed, and questioned the timing of the bill, first proposed in 2012, just two months after the election of Joko Widodo. Titi Anggraini, director of the Association for Elections and Democracy (Perludem), said that many were upset by the law change.

"I think strikes at this point, against the @placeholder ISIS, which has bled into Iraq, those steps should be taken," Royce said. | Washington (CNN) -- As President Barack Obama decides whether to strike ISIS inside Syria, he has political considerations as well. U.S. lawmakers are watching critically as Obama weighs options on how to deal with the threat from ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Many have argued the surge of ISIS is the direct result of lack of strategic action to date from Obama, while others are questioning how broadly Obama's executive authority extends when it comes to taking militarily action. Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, tells CNN that unless the United States or its citizens face an imminent threat from ISIS, Obama must seek approval from Congress before extended airstrikes against ISIS inside Syria.
