Topics International: The recent protests in Myanmar have put China front and center on the world stage, with everyone waiting to see whether or not the Chinese government will address the human rights issues in that country.

Turkey reacted by recalling its ambassador and threatening to cut logistical support to the U.S. in Iraq. A few days later Democratic Congressman Pete Stark accused the White House of sending soldiers “to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement.” Have Democrats moved too far to the Left to keep control of Congress in the next election?Statewide: (Mike Riley) Governor Kulongoski recently walked out of a press interview when a KGW reporter tried to ask him about his alleged role in covering up Neil Goldschmidt’s sexual relationship with his fourteen year old babysitter in the mid 1970s. The governor, a lawyer, is facing a potential bar examination over whether or not he knew about the crime and failed to report it.
