Father of Corrie: ‘Investigation not thorough or credible’

August 28th, 2012
05:06 PM ET

From Frederik Pleitgen, CNN

Haifa, Israel (CNN) - Nine years after an American activist was crushed by an Israeli army bulldozer, an Israeli civil court ruled Tuesday that Rachel Corrie's death was an accident.

Corrie, 23, was killed in 2003 while trying to block the bulldozer from razing Palestinian homes.

Her parents filed suit against Israel's Ministry of Defense in a quest for accountability and sought just $1 in damages. But Judge Oded Gershon ruled

Tuesday that the family has no right to damages, backing an earlier Israeli investigation that cleared any soldier of wrongdoing.

"I believe this was a bad day not only for our family, but a bad day for human rights, for humanity, for the rule of law and also for the country of Israel," her mother, Cindy Corrie, said after the verdict.  FULL POST

What does Mitt Romney really believe?

August 28th, 2012
10:14 AM ET

Mitt Romney’s coronation as Republican candidate for U.S. President is going ahead as planned, with a nationally televised acceptance speech Thursday night.

But observers outside the United States have fundamental questions about the Republican candidate – best summed up the cover of this week's Economist magazine with the headline, "So Mitt, what do you really believe?"

Gergen: Election a stark choice on America's future

The Financial Times’ Washington bureau chief, Ed Luce, has been wrestling with that question for his readers around the world. You can watch an interview with him from the Florida convention site, in the video above.

Infants among dead in Syrian massacre

August 27th, 2012
06:55 PM ET

There have already been several massacres in Syria this year, but the latest mass killing appears to be on a whole new scale. This time it's in the Damascus suburb of Daraya – a mostly poor and largely Sunni area, with a population of about 150,000.

Opposition activists say government forces murdered at least 320 people, many shot in the head, execution style.  Most of the victims appeared to be men; but women and children were also targeted.

CNN has obtained an extraordinary account of life in the Damascus suburb of Daraya over the last two weeks, just before the neighborhood was overrun by Syrian government troops. The Syrian government has said it targeted Daraya to cleanse terrorist cells from the town but this report shows the townspeople had only just begun to rebuild their lives after the last Syrian Army offensive nearly two months ago. Some of the images in this report are graphic and not appropriate for all viewers.  For safety reasons, we are not naming the journalist.  You can watch her report in the video above.

Syrian artists fight Assad regime with satire

Syrian artists fight Assad regime with satire

By Tim Hume, for CNN

(CNN) - With horrors emerging from Syria's civil war with numbing regularity, it can be easy to lose sight of the fact that the uprising has not been waged only with guns.

A creative and resolutely non-violent form of opposition to Bashar al-Assad's regime has taken hold in Syria, as the country's artists respond to the crisis with newfound boldness and purpose, despite the clear dangers in doing so.

"Since the uprising, the artists have broken through the wall of fear in Syria and are thinking in another way," said Syrian journalist Aram Tahhan, one of the curators of an exhibition on Syria's creative dissent - Culture in Defiance - currently on display in Amsterdam. <<READ FULL POST>>

We are all Arabs

August 10th, 2012
10:18 AM ET

Does this kaffiyeh make me look Arab?

Bahraini artist Mohamed Kanoo sure hopes so. He's re-imagined our political and entertainment elite as Arabs - a plea for tolerance in an age when the word "Arab" is often a pejorative.

From Oprah al-Winfrey to John bin Travolta - even Barack abu Obama. Kanoo is having a bit of fun, but his message is serious.

"Tolerance is an important aspect of our faith as Arabs and Muslims," Kanoo says. "Contemporary human difficulties are common problems for all humanity. That is what brings us together."
