"Ron Paul campaign distances itself from supporters' vote fraud concerns" Raw Story

Some supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul have been sounding the alarm about potential voting irregularities in this weekend's Republican straw poll. However, the Texas Congressman says he doesn't support a lawsuit being prepared against the state Republican party and his campaign stresses it has worked behind the scenes to address any concerns over vote-counting.

...

Paul began running television and radio ads in Iowa this week in advance of the poll. His supporters hope a stronger-than-expected showing Saturday will catapult Paul out of the bottom tier of candidates -- he is currently polling around 2 percent in Iowa -- and strengthen his candidacy.

"South Korea turns against 'arrogant' Christian hostages" The Independent

The kidnap of South Korean church volunteers by the Taliban has caused deep divisions back home, forcing into the open a dark truth: many Koreans resent Christians and the speed with which they have become a dominant force in the upper echelons of society.

The captive missionaries - 18 women and five men - who were seized in Afghanistan two weeks ago hailed from the Saemmul Presbyterian Church, which is based in an affluent dormitory town south of Seoul.

After they were taken hostage, the church's online bulletin board was deluged with negative statements. Many called the missionaries "arrogant" for trying to proselytise in a Muslim country gripped by conflict.

The words "Scientology" and "Tsunami" comes to mind
