Monsanto's new Omega-3 soybean was engineered to offer what hemp seed offers naturally.

Men armed with knives killed a British soldier in London, then said it was revenge for killing Muslims.

The jihadis' theocratic agenda is horrible tyranny, but they have a valid grievance about US-UK violence. On this occasion they attacked a military target, so if you want to think of this as war, the attack was not a war crime. However, they threatened to attack civilians, which would be a war crime.

The US admitted that four US citizens were killed by US drone attacks.

The US and UK should stop killing civilians around the world. Whether they are Muslim (as is usually the case today) or Christian (as was typically the case in the 70s and 80s) is an insignificant detail.

The FBI shot and killed a suspect who was under interrogation in his home.

It sounds to me like "shot while trying to escape".

Reportedly he was suspected of murder. Reportedly he expected to be shot. Reportedly this was not the first interrogation, yet apparently he did not have a lawyer present. Did the FBI read him his Miranda warning?

The Taliban destroyed the Buddha statues of Bamiyan. Karzai is letting a Chinese mining company destroy the ruins of Mes Aynak, but at least they will be studied archeologically first.

Mount Everest's Glaciers have shrunk 13% in 50 years.
