@placeholder has pushed a counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan intended to empower the civilian population so much that the insurgency will slowly be demoralized, fractured and defeated.
(CNN) -- Shortly after President Obama tapped Stanley McChrystal in June 2009 to be the top commander in Afghanistan, CNN reported that McChrystal would never let a reporter in the room during classified morning meetings he led among senior military officers. McChrystal was known in Washington for his discretion. He kept a low profile, briefly interrupted by two major news events. The general was criticized for the way he handled the circumstances of U.S. soldier Pat Tillman's friendly fire death in Afghanistan in 2004. In 2006, McChrystal was lauded for the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq. @highlight Stanley McChrystal known for keeping a low profile throughout most of his career @highlight A West Point graduate and former Green Beret, he leads Afghanistan mission @highlight Rolling Stone profile of McChrystal quotes him and his staff mocking administration

The Russian state refuses to reckon with the past. After a brief and partial opening in the early 1990s, it has closed its archives to historians.

Just last week the @placeholder staged the latest in a series of national walkouts in a long-running bitter row over pay, pensions and conditions.
By Tom Mctague, Mail Online Deputy Political Editor Teachers were celebrating today after Michael Gove was ousted as Education Secretary. The controversial minister was dumped from the Cabinet by David Cameron to become the Government's chief whip in the biggest shock of the reshuffle. Teachers' unions welcomed the surprise announcement after years of bitter antagonism against his reforms, which culminated in last week's classroom walk out-in a dispute over pay and pensions. Downing Street insisted Mr Gove would play a key role in the run up to the election and had not been demoted - but the decision to move him comes amid increasing evidence that he is 'toxic' with voters. In May a poll for YouGov found he was the most hated politician in the Government. @highlight Michael Gove made chief whip and will no longer be a full member of Cabinet @highlight He will instead become 'Minister for TV' in campaign ahead of next election @highlight Teachers' unions welcomed the surprise announcement this morning @highlight The NUT said Gove had 'clearly lost the support of the profession' @highlight Association of Teachers & Lecturers slam his 'antagonism' to teachers @highlight In May a poll found that Gove was the most hated politician in Britain

Columbus, who was known in @placeholder as Cristóbal Colón and didn't speak Italian, signed his last will and testament on May 19, 1506, and made five curious -- and revealing -- provisions.
Today marks the 508th anniversary of the death of Christopher Columbus. Everybody knows the story of Columbus, right? He was an Italian explorer from Genoa who set sail in 1492 to enrich the Spanish monarchs with gold and spices from the orient. Not quite. For too long, scholars have ignored Columbus' grand passion: the quest to liberate Jerusalem from the Muslims. During Columbus' lifetime, Jews became the target of fanatical religious persecution. On March 31, 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella proclaimed that all Jews were to be expelled from Spain. The edict especially targeted the 800,000 Jews who had never converted, and gave them four months to pack up and get out. @highlight Sunday marks the 508th anniversary of the death of Christopher Columbus @highlight Charles Garcia: Columbus was a Marrano, or a Jew who feigned to be a Catholic @highlight He says that during Columbus' lifetime, Jews became the target of religious persecution @highlight Garcia: Columbus' voyage was motivated by a desire to find a safe haven for Jews

Long before the ink had dried on the Senate deal to end the government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling, the writing was already on the wall for the Republican Party: The last three weeks have hurt them.

@placeholder police said the forceful approach was in response to complaints by right-wing politicians and petitions from residents over the past three months.
The French interior minister has been accused of ordering police to remove tramps and gypsies from his neighbourhood 'so his wife can shop in peace'. Manuel Valls, 50, reportedly told officers to show 'zero tolerance' in evicting homeless people from the stylish district around the Place de la Bastille near his home in Paris. According to a satirical weekly, Le Canard Enchaîné, Mr Valls ordered the clean-up at the request of his glamorous wife, Anne Gravoin, after she allegedly complained of being accosted by a drunken down-and-out on a trip to supermarket.

An @placeholder court appointed Waghmare two weeks ago to represent Kasab, and it was unclear who would replace her.
MUMBAI, India (CNN) -- The lawyer for the main suspect in last year's deadly terrorist attack in Mumbai was removed Wednesday, delaying the high-profile trial that was set to begin. Soldiers patrol in Mumbai on the eve of the trial of a key suspect in last year's attacks in the Indian city. The trial start for Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, 21, is expected to be moved to Thursday as officials scramble to settle the lawyer issue. Kasab is thought to be the only one of 10 gunmen to survive the three-day siege, which killed more than 160 people in November. As the trial was to begin, the judge removed attorney Anjali Waghmare because she also was representing a witness in the case. Waghmare argued that she had no idea that the person was a witness in the terror case, and she was representing this person in a different case. But the judge declared that it was a conflict of interest. @highlight Main suspect's lawyer removed as she represents a witness in the case @highlight Trial was to start Wednesday, unclear when court proceedings will resume @highlight Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, 21, is accused of being the only gunmen to survive siege @highlight The November siege targeted victims at Mumbai hotels, hospitals, railway stations

And there were more protests Saturday, in which @placeholder once again derided the film and, in many cases, the United States.
Cairo (CNN) -- A leading figure in the Sunni Islam world called for fellow believers to respond to recent controversial portrayals of Mohammed -- which he said "spread hatred" -- just like the prophet himself would, "through patience and wisdom." The Grand Mufti of Egypt Ali Gomaa spoke to CNN as Muslims staged yet more passionate protests Saturday in yet more locales, from Germany to Lebanon to Bangladesh, as they have since September 11. Demonstrators railed against an obscure, 14-minute trailer for a film that mocks Mohammed as a womanizer, child molester and killer -- as well as the country in which it was privately produced, the United States -- and more recently a French satirical magazine's cartoons of a figure representing Mohammed. @highlight NEW: Angry about government ban on protests, activists in Bangladesh call a general strike @highlight The grand mufti of Egypt says anti-Islam video spreads "hatred," which should be illegal @highlight He adds that Muslims want peace and respect, not conflict @highlight Muslims protest Saturday in Nigeria, Bangladesh, Germany and Pakistan

Filner said he was on @placeholder hours after Provost's body was found, although no one told him of the killing.
(CNN) -- A sailor found dead earlier this week at California's Camp Pendleton was shot while standing sentry, and a fire was set in an attempt to cover up evidence, the U.S. Navy said. Seaman August Provost, shown on his MySpace page, was killed while on sentry duty at Camp Pendleton. The death of Seaman August Provost of Houston, Texas, is being investigated as a homicide, Capt. Matt Brown told reporters on Thursday. A sailor is in custody in the case, Brown said. Although at least one of Provost's relatives said she believes he was killed because of his sexual orientation and his race, Brown said there was no indication the killing was a hate crime.

In theory, the congress delegates and the @placeholder members have some influence over -- and formally vote on --leadership decisions.
Beijing (CNN) -- Hu Jintao is stepping down this week as the Communist Party's general secretary -- the primus inter pares in the party politburo, China's elite decision-making body. In March next year, he is also expected to hand over his post as China's state president to his presumptive successor, Xi Jinping. But is the 69-year-old Hu retiring completely? Will he give up all his posts, including chairmanship of the Central Military Commission (CMC), an influential post that oversees major national security and military affairs? "We don't know if he will step down yet," said Joseph Cheng, professor at City University of Hong Kong. "The party congress is still in the bargaining process. For Xi Jinping, he needs time to consolidate his power no matter if Hu will retire or not." @highlight Hu Jintao preparing to hand over power to presumptive successor, Xi Jinping @highlight But experts question whether he will really retire, or maintain some vestiges of office @highlight Chinese politicians caught up in complex factional horse-trading @highlight Final decision on makeup of new Central Committee expected this week
