Lagarde: Less than three months to save the euro
By Mick Krever, CNN
Action to save the euro is needed in “more shortly than three months,” IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview.
Lagarde’s tight deadline was a response to billionaire investor George Soros’ prediction that Europe has three months to save the euro.
“The construction of the eurozone has taken time,” Lagarde said. “And it’s a work in construction at the moment.”
Lagarde declined to predict whether Greece would exit the eurozone.
“It’s going to be a question of political determination and drive,” she said.
Lagarde came under fire recently for highlighting Greek tax evasion. She apologized that her comments were taken “in a very inflammatory way and created offence.”
“But equally,” she said, “I think that tax compliance is a necessary tool to restore any country’s situation – Greece, like others.” FULL POST

Syria: 'Torture of the worst kind'
By Lucky Gold
(CNN) - Ivan Simnovic, Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations for Human Rights, says the Syrian government has reached the “threshold” of committing war crimes: “They are widespread and committed in a systematic manner,” said Simnovic.
Speaking Thursday to Christiane Amanpour, he stated that “there is unselective shelling; there is deliberate targeting with live munition of protesters.” Then he added, “There is systematic torture going on in prisons – and this is the torture of the worst possible form.”
Asked to be more specific, Simnovic said, “I will not go into details, but it includes physical torture as well as psychological threats – threats such as raping members of family, direct torture involving putting people in unnatural positions for a long time, torturing them by burning them and so on and so on…It’s appalling.” FULL POST

Olympic Games virus
by Lucky Gold.
(CNN) - While the world waits to see if Israel will attack Iran’s nuclear program, is it possible that the United States is already at war with Tehran?
David Sanger, Chief Washington Correspondent for the New York Times and author of “Confront and Conceal,” said Wednesday on Amanpour that it all began “in a quiet meeting between him (President Obama) and President Bush just days before the inauguration, in 2009, when President Bush said, ‘Look, there are two programs you’re going to want to hold onto. One of them is drones, the other is Olympic Games.’”
“Olympic Games,” said Sanger, “is an effort to get into the Iranian centrifuge system with a computer worm that was a very elaborate effort to get through the defenses the Iranians had built up…send in a worm that would speed up or slow down those centrifuges until they began to blow up.”

Explainer: What al-Libi's death means for al Qaeda
(CNN) - Abu Yahya al-Libi, al Qaeda's No. 2 man, was killed in Pakistan on Monday, according to U.S. officials.
Al-Libi's death was "another serious blow to core al Qaeda," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
Al-Libi, 49, was a well-regarded figure in jihadist circles and had emerged as one of the terrorist network's most important clerics and propagandists, appearing in countless videos in recent years.
He was killed by a CIA drone strike, according to U.S. officials. Drone strikes remain a highly contentious issue between the United States and Pakistan.
