NEW DELHI: Congresspresident Sonia Gandhi on

Saturday asked the states

ruled by the party to imple-

ment in 'letter and spirit' the

food security scheme

which it sees as a 'game

changer' in the 2014 Lok

Sabha elections. She held

deliberations

with Congress chief

ministers on how to imple-

ment the food scheme

seeking to provide cheap

foodgrains to 82 crorepeople, for which an ordi-

nance was promulgated

last week.

Party sources said the

CMs were told at the meet-

ing to rollout the scheme

in 'letter and spirit'.

The meeting was heldat a time when the party is

preparing for the 2014 Lok

Sabha polls and is keen to

reach out to the people

with its populist measure.

Delhi, where assembly

polls are due by year-end,

will be the first state to roll

out the scheme on August

20, the birth anniversary

of former Prime Minister

Rajiv Gandhi. Besides

Congress CMs, Prime

Minister ManmohanSingh, party vice president

Rahul Gandhi, food minis-

ter K V Thomas, AICC

general secretaries and

Core Group members were

present during the deliber-

ations. The aim of the

meeting was to ensure thatthe scheme is implement-

ed in the best possible

manner with Congress-

ruled states becoming role

models in implementation

of the food security meas-

ure.Direct Benefit Transfer

(DBT) scheme and the

Food Security Act are

being considered as major

moves by Congress ahead

of the 2014 general

elections as was thefarmers' loan waiver

scheme and MNREGA

announced in UPA-I. The

loan waiver and MNRE-

GA shemes were credited

among other things for

return of UPA to power in

2009. Several states,

including Congress-ruled

Karnataka and

Uttarakhand, BJP-gov-

erned Chhattigarh, SP-

ruled Uttar Pradesh and

JD(U)-run Bihar, couldsee early roll out of the

programme. Partymen

wanted early roll out the

scheme so that the

scheme is well in place

by the time Lok Sabha

elections take place.

Wait for a few more Tests before trashing DRS: JamulaCnP

Kolkata: More than threeand half decades since it

was started, the Integrated

Child DevelopmentScheme (ICDS) remains

work-in-progress. Around80 percent of the centres

lack a proper kitchen in

Manipur, found a survey.The survey conducted by

Manipur Alliance for Child

Rights (MACR) - a statealliance of NGOs support-

ed by Child Rights and You(CRY) - covered 2,353 chil-

dren from 80 villages

across seven districts inManipur.

Of the existing 193 ICDS

centres in the sample area,a rapid assessment was

conducted on 80 centres to

map the functioning statusand performance of

Anganwadi centres.The survey showed that

around 80 percent of the

ICDS centres surveyedwere not equipped with a

proper and designated

kitchen for cooking food,while only one-fourth of the

ICDS centres were runningin government constructed

buildings. It is also report-ed that 56.25 percent cen-

tres provide supplemen-

tary nutritional food on aregular basis, 27.5 percent

three times a week, and8.75 percent only once in

three months.

According to the respon-dents, 68.75 percent cen-

tres provide quality food,

while 28.75 percent do notserve good quality food as

per norms, and 2.5 percentdole out "very poor quality"

food.

Findings from the surveyalso show that 10 percent

of the centres do not pro-

vide a hot, cooked meal,and 21.25 percent distrib-

ute food grains at the doorsteps.

Only 28.75 percent of

ICDS centres provide addi-tional food to the adoles-

cent child (between 11-18

years) as per norms, whileonly 8.75 percent centres

provide additional nutrition-

al support on a regularbasis.

Another interesting set ofdata shows that only 10

percent of the ICDS cen-tres have children in atten-

dance for four hours a day,

even though these aresupposed to serve as day

care centres.Of the sample, 52.75 per-

cent ICDS centres are

reported to keep childrenfor one to two hours, while

8.75 percent keep children

for only half an hour a day.According to data collect-

ed, at least 10 percent ofthe ICDS Centres do not

have any playing material

for children.While the report shows

perceptible gaps in ICDS

implementation, it alsothrows light on the insuffi-

cient budget allocation andlack of coordination in fund

utilisation.

On-ground data shows thata whopping 94 percent of

the surveyed ICDS centres

take direct responsibility ofbearing transportation

costs of food materials,and at more than 90 per-

cent of the surveyed cen-

tres, workers do not gettheir honorarium in time.

Agartala: An Indian

Institute of InformationTechnology (IIIT) will beset up for Rs 128 crorein the northeastern stateof Tripura next year toboost the growth of thedomestic IT market, anofficial said here onFriday. The IIIT will beset up in Bodhjungnagar,one of the northeasternregion's biggest industri-al hubs, 25 km north ofstate capital Agartala. Itwill be the first such insti-tute in the northeast andwill start functioning fromthe 2014-15 academic

year. "Two state-ownedcompanies, ONGC (Oiland Natural GasCorporation) and NEEP-CO (NortheasternElectric PowerCorporation), and a pri-vate industrial housefrom West Bengal haveexpressed willingness topartner for the TripuraIIIT," Higher EducationDepartment SecretaryKishore Ambuly toldreporters here."Of the Rs 128 crore, theunion Ministry of Human

Resource Development(MHRD) would give Rs

119 crore and theremaining amount wouldbe shared by ONGC,NEEPCO and the pri-vate organisation," headded.He said that the stategovernment had allotted50 acres of land for theinstitute.Besides Tripura, the

MHRD had last yeargiven its approval to the

setting up of IIITs in

Assam and Rajasthan."The human resource

development ministry

has planned to establish

20 IIITs on a not-for-prof-

it public-private partner-

ship (N-PPP) basis in

the country," the official

said. So far, 11 state

governments have iden-

tified land and are in the

process of identifying

industry partners and ful-

filling other criteria.

Currently, there are fourIIITs in India at

A l l a ha ba d , G w a l i o r,

ness the multi-dimen-sional facets of IT in var-

ious domains.These institutions areconceived to be self-sus-taining, research-ledinstitutions contributingsignificantly to the globalcompetitiveness of keysectors of the Indianeconomy and industrywith the application of ITin selected domain

Ahmedabad: Womenfarmers from Junagadhon Sunday sent a letterwritten in blood toGujarat Chief Minister

Narendra Modi urginghim to talk to them onthe issue of Jetpur-Somnath national high-way, an activist associat-ed with the protest said.

"If you can talk to yourbrothers in Bihar, whycan't you talk to your sis-ters in Junagadh," thewomen farmers wrote intheir letter to Modi.With aproject to expand thesaid highway on theanvil, the NationalHighways Authority ofIndia had asked the

state government toacquire land for thesame.To that end, dis-trict officials had under-taken a mapping andmeasurement exercisewhich had begun June25. Protesting farmershad been detained dur-ing the surveyprocess.Atul Patel ofKhedut HitrakshakSamiti says they havebeen seeking anappointment with the CMfor over three years todiscuss the project, but

their request has neverbeen entertained.Now,

101 women farmershave written to Modi asthe previous communi-cation sent to him via let-ters, postcards, SMS

and e-mails has drawn

no response, Patel said.Farmers from 10 villagesin Vanthali andJunagadh talukas in thedistrict have beenprotesting against landacquisition on thegrounds that the land

marked for the project isfertile.Patel noted thatconversion of the two-lane Jetpur-Somnathnational highway to a

four-lane one was a

technically and economi-cally viable plan forwhich the state govern-ment had even complet-ed the tendering processafter getting anm envi-ronmental clearancefrom the Centre.

The CM present-ed this new middle budgetas to fund the new plansand projects framed by hisCongress government aftergetting power. Finally theawaited briefcase was

Consequently, the CMbeing an able finance min-ister, who has already pre-sented 8 successful budgetsin his political career hadalready started providing akg of rice for 1 rupee aspromissed earlier and madehis path. In this context, the

budget has made itsemphasis on the educationand agricultural sectors.

The education departmenthas emerged as the highestbenefitted department inthis year with the contribu-tion of about 812700 rs.Anna Bhagya yojana'simplementation has beenplanned with a separatefund of 20 lakhs for provid-ing food to the school chil-dren for bringing them intoeducation. The childrenwill be provided with 2 rsevery day for attending theschool and english lan-guage learning will be

introduced at the primarylevel itself that is from 1ststandard.The CM's next concentra-tion is none other than onthe country's backbone thepeasant, s he is also frombackward and rural area.The agricultural loan whichwas with 1 percent interestfrom 1 to 3 lakh rupees hasbeen now enhanced up to10 lakhs. A committee hasbeen proposed for makinga research on the installa-tion of 5 hp solar pumps toprovide consistent electric-ity to the farmers. Rs 5crores has been aloted tothe agricultural universityand proposed of establish-

ing a committee for theimplementation of the agri-cultural market report. The

cost on sugar will bedecreased but the VAT taxhas been kept constant. Rs150 crores has been keptfor the construction of stor-age for chemical fertilizersand seeds.The upliftment ofoppressed poor has playedprominent role in the budg-et. The construction ofhouses for the poor andproviding compulsory edu-cation to thea poor childrenwas proposed. The devel-

opment of home depart-ment was also mentioned.5 lakh rs has been plannedto fund the ANF squad at

Karkala to strengthen theforce. 8500 constables areplanned to e inducted into

the police department atBangalore itself. Indianreserve bettalein will beestablished at Davangereand Tumkor districts.

The budget has alsowaved the progress path inthe transport departmentwith the inclusion of 5 newRTO offices at RT Nagar,Marathalli, Dandeli andMadugiri and rs 30 croreshas been allocated for pro-viding training to the heavyvehicle drivers. Truck ter-

minal and logistic park willbe inculcated in Anchikeri,hubli.New plans arebrought out for upliftingthe women and weaker sec-tions. Pension of rs 500will be provided to the wid-ows or the unmarriedwomen crossed the age of40 years. Maithri yojanawill be implemented for theassistance of sexualminorities. 10 new courtswill be established for pun-

ishing the criminalsindulging in women haras-ment.The Shivamogga,Tumcore and Bijapurmuncipalities are proposedto be upgraded into corpo-rations and new parkingrules will be implementedin all corporation areas.BDA complex will be con-structed in RT Nagar andIndiranagar with the con-struction of 6500 flats. Thepeople of Arkavathi arepromised of getting theirproperty papers and sitesare planned to be distrib-uted at Kempegowda

extension, Bangalore,which was in controversysince many years. There

will be 2 BDAs, 2 commis-sioners and 2 mayors atBBMP for speeder devel-opmental activities. Newcorridor roads will be laidbetween Bannerghatta andEG Pura and betweenJayadeva circle and silkboard. Separate fund hasbeen allocated for the con-struction of new roads at allmain junctions in the capi-tal city and new metro lineswill be laid out betweenBangalore, Tumcore andRamnagar.the special funds

are aloted to the minoritycommission and backwardclass commission. Localtrains will be installed inthe capital city and skywalkers will be also induct-ed for the betterment ofpedestrians.

However. The budget hasbrought disappointmentamong the rich traders andbusiness personals, whowere expecting the state taxand duties's variation in thescenario of resession. Thex-CM Jagdish Shetter hasdefined this budget as acontinuation of his pro-posed budget of March2013 during BJP rule. Hehas also opposed the budg-et, as it has completely neg-lected the earlier declara-tion of Taluks and has notfunded the BhagyaLakshmi plan. Another x-CM B. S. Yadiyurappa feltthat the new corporationsare announced, but no defi-nition is made regardingthe existing members. The

budget completely provesthe come back of CMSiddu being a leader frombackward class and ruralarea and also depicts theway of attracting the com-mons with a future thinkingof the up coming centralelections as well. However.The government must atleast fulfill the given pro-posals with a right alloca-tion and implementation ofproposed fund to reach thepath of success andprogress. Because, theassurances get prominenceonly when it is fulfilled.

CASH BOX OPENED FOR KARNATAKA

Chennai: If you thought

that the scene near the US

Consulate in Chennai

resembled that of a Vishnu

temple in the month of

Purattasi, you could

scarcely be faulted for the

misconception. With the

interviews for visas to the

USA restarting after a

week of protests, appli-

cants decided to leave little

to chance as the crowd

starting to build, from as

early as 5.30 am. The

strong contingent of police

personnel posted for secu-

rity were, in fact, taken by

surprise at such an early

start, as the scheduled

rounds of interviews were

set to begin only at 8.30

am.

While Chennaites using

the Anna Flyover are

accustomed to watching

crisply-attired men and

women waiting in long

queues outside the

Consulate in the morning,

police officers said the

route for applicants into

the Consulate was slightly

tweaked for security rea-

sons. Additional levels of

checking were put up at

the Avvai Shanmugam

Salai end, where police

officers scrupulously

checked ID cards before

letting people pass.

In fact, in one case, the

security regulations were

so tight that a man, who

took his car keys inside,

was stopped from entering

the consulate and was

asked to repeat the check

from the begining. There

were no separate counters

for the elderly, who were

seen questioning the police

on the rationale behind

such a set up. However, the

minute planning paid off

as the officers were able to

make sure that the queue

didnt stagnate at any

point and the crowd kept

moving every minute.

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata

Party Yashwant Sinha, who

had reportedly warned his

party over Gujara t ChiefMinister Narendra Modi's

remarks, has now clarified his

comments. Speaking to

IBN18 Editor-in-Chief

Rajdeep Sardesai, Yashwant

said that the Congress's attack

on Modi will benefit the BJP,

but will divert attention from

the issue of corruption and

misgovernance."

He added that the Congress is

trying to divert attention and

the BJP should not fall into its

trap. "The Congress is deter-

mined to bring the secular-

communal debate to the cen-trestage, BJP should not fall

into that trap," Yashwant said.

He said that while all this will

benefit the BJP, the economic

issues are being sidelined in

the battle. "BJP will gain

from any polarisation that

happens because of Modi.

The more the Congress

attacks Modi, the more popu-

lar Modi becomes. Issues of

misgovernance and corrup-

tion should be brought to the

fore in the coming elections.

Yashwant had earlier said that

the more Modi speaks theattention gets diverted from

Congress's misgovernance.

"The Modi baiters have a

clear game plan. The more he

speaks. The more controversy

he will create. The attention

will shift from misgover-

nance and corruption to whathappened more than 11 years

ago in Gujarat. It will be a

grave mistake to allow

Congress change the agenda

and force debate on its own

terms," Yashwant had

said.The Congress on

Monday launched an all out

counter-attack on Gujarat

Chief Minister Narendra

Modi for being critical of the

UPA government during his

speech in Pune on Sunday.

Responding to Modi's 'burqa'

remark, Congress leader Ajay

Maken said, "The burqa ofsecularism is better than the

nakedness of communalism.

Secularism unites the nation,

communalism breaks the

country."

Congress General Secretary

Digvijaya Singh has hit out at

Modi saying, "I want to know

what is the definition of secu-

larism according to Modiji.

One religion, one culture, one

nation is the definition of sec-

ularism according to the RSS

and Advaniji. Modiji should

clarify what is his definition

of secularism."Minister ofState for Human Resources

Shashi Tharoor also tweeted,

"Modi says we 'hide behind

the burqa of secularism".

Preferable, surely, to the

khaki shorts of intolerance &

hatred that he now tries to

hide?"Modi had on Sundaysaid the government hides

behind the veil of secularism

whenever India faces any

problem. "Congress always

wears the burqa of secularism

whenever they face problem.

In the name of secularism,

Congress government can't

play with poor, teenagers and

daughters of the country,"

Modi had said.

The Congress also once again

attacked Modi for his 'puppy'

remark. "IF KUTTE KA

BACCHA - PUPPY comes

under your car u hv 2 optionscuddle & treat it or again

crush it What would u call a

man who does the latter

(sic)," Information and

Broadcasting Minister

Manish Tewari tweeted.Modi

had sparked a controversy

after, in an interview to

Reuters, he claimed that he

was innocent in the Gujarat

riots and said "I would feel

guilty only if I did something

wrong". "While driving if a

puppy comes under the

wheel, will it be painful ornot? Of course it is...I'm a

human being. If something

bad happens anywhere, it is

natural to be sad.

NEW DELHI: Declaration

of Rahul Gandhi as Prime

Ministerial candidate can-not be ruled out, Congress

hinted today in the back-

drop of conflicting state-

ments from party leaders

including Digvijay

Singh."It has not yet been

decided. When it will be

decided, you will know,"

par ty General Secretary

Ajay Maken told

reporters.He was asked

about the official position

of the party on declaring

Rahul the PM candidate

ahead of the next LokSabha election.

Speaking seperately on

the issue, Information and

Broadcasting Minister

Manish Tewari put it dif-

ferently stressing that the

'trinity' of Prime Minister

Manmohan Singh,

Congress Sonia Ganshi

and Rahul will lead the

Congress in

2014."Manmohan Singh

is the Prime Minister,

Sonia Gandhi is the chair-

person of the UPA, we

have a young leader in

Rahul Gandhi, who the

youth identifies and

empathises with and this

is the trinity which would

lead the Congress in

2014," Tewari said."So I

would like to beseech

you, do not raise ghosts

and slay them and consid-

er yourself as a super-

man," he said when asked

about the issue of declara-tion of Rahul Gandhi as

PM candidate.

At the outset, Tewari said

"There are certain people

who are interested in

pushing an agenda and do

not understand the basic

fundamentals of the func-

tioning of the Congress

Party." Maken and Tewari

were responding to

queries on the issue of

pro jection of Rahul

Gandhi as that twoCongress General

Secretaries Digvijay

Singh and Janardan

Dwivedi have made con-

flicting statements on the

issue.

Singh had hinted that dec-

laration of Gandhi as PM

candidate ahead of polls

is unlikely. But Dwivedi

on Saturday dismissed as"personal opinion" com-

ments by Digvijay Singh

in this regard. "We do not

have a presidential form

of government. Congress

party does not declare PM

or CM candidates before

elections.... Even in the

Karnataka Assembly elec-

tions we had not declared

any CM candidate,"

Singh, who is also a party

General Secretary, had

said in an interview.

No decision yet on RahulGandhi as PM candidate:

New Delhi: It's the seasonfor staggeringly high cut-

offs on campus, but one

that don't necessarily make

the cut in the corporate

world. A new survey of

graduate students across

the country, conducted by

Aspiring Minds says that

more than half of them are

not fit to be hired.India

produces 50 lakh graduates

every year. Experts say

with poor English language

skills, computer training

and analytical ability, mak-

ing the cut from the class-

room to the boardroom is

not easy.

Himanshu Aggarwal, Co-

Founder and CEO,

Aspiring Minds says, "Our

education system continues

to be put down by the rote

learning concepts. These

rote learning concepts are

not training people for

functional skills who are

going to be deployed into

the industry in a more read-ily fashion without any

extensive training."The

survey also says women

seem to be better candi-

dates to be hired in most

categories surveyed. And

metros are still way ahead

of non-metro cities in

terms of skill sets.

Dr. Pradyuman Kumar,Principal of Hindu College,

Delhi says, "Degrees are

given for the sake of being

given. The curriculum

should be designed in such

a way that it ensures more

employability. We need

more interaction between

the students and the indus-

try.""I'm not in anyway

ridiculing or undermining

the importance of cognitive

and technical ability. All

I'm suggesting is a bal-

anced approach where edu-

cation is more holistic,

more interdisciplinary and

really new student centric

or learner centric rather

than teacher centric. We

still produce are amongst

the best in the world," says

Nishchae Suri, Partner and

Head of People and

Change at KPMG.

The results of the survey

though indicative, they

could be a starting point

for how we view not justour education setup but

our corporate outlook.

Brazil When millions ofBrazilians took to the streetslast month in nationwide

protest against everythingfrom corruption to overpriced

bus fares to a despised politi-

cal class, the demonstratorschanted, The giant hasawoken.The reference camefrom a TV commercial forJohnnie Walker whisky thatshowed a stone giant arisefrom its slumber in Rio deJaneiro. That seemed appro-

priate given that the demon-strations were the biggest

popular protests here in morethan 20 years.There was afeeling that citizens in theworlds fifth most populousnation had been taken advan-tage of for too long and thatthey were finally rising upand saying, Enough isenough.A month on from that suddenoutpouring of anger and the

situation has calmed. Unlikein the Middle East or NorthAfrica, where hundreds ofthousands of people took tothe streets for months on end,or even in neighboringArgentina, where protestersshut down cities on an almostdaily basis, Brazils angerwas short-lived.As he waitedin vain for more people toturn up for an anti-corruptionmarch last week, protesterPaulo Resende fumed at theinertia of his countrymen andwomen.The giant has gone

back to sleep, he said.Thereare many reasons the angerhas died down.Politically, the response wasswift and befitting of a presi-

dent who spent three years injail for opposing the militarydictatorship in the 1960s.Within hours of the biggest

protests kicking off PresidentDilma Rousseff toldBrazilians she was proud oftheir actions and that sheunderstood that people wantmore. She then unveiled a

package of measuresdesigned to address some of

the most widely held griev-ances.Rousseff vowed todevote more money to health,education and public trans-

port and try to negotiate apolit ical reform bill with

Congress that would make thecountrys notoriously unreli-able politicians more account-able.In the days and weeks after,other leading figures also

responded. Mayors and gov-ernors in dozens of big citiesand states, including SaoPaulo and Rio de Janeiro,scrapped the proposed fareincreases and announced theywould freeze highway tolls,review or cancel existingtransportation contracts andeven sell their private heli-copters to cut back oncosts.Congress, too, sparkedinto action, meeting into thewee hours to pass bills theyhad previously rejected or

ignored, sometimes foryears.That rapid response isone reason the anger hascooled. Although theapproval ratings of almost allthe countrys top politicians

plummeted Rousseffsdecline was the swiftest for asitting president in more than20 years Brazilians couldsee their government hadheard their appeals and was

taking action.The president listened to thevoice of the streets and shecalled on people to get behindher and the pact she pro-

posed, said Justice Minister

Jose Eduardo Cardozo. Sheshowed that she can lead. Lifefor Brazilians hasnt changed.The economy is still doingwell, unemployment is still ata historic low. When this peri-

od is over then people willonce again see this govern-ment as positively as it did

before.But activists say theyare disappointed that theanger built up over decadesdissipated so quickly.Somesaid that Brazilians are justnot used to demonstratingcollectively. Others believethe end of the ConfederationsCup soccer tournamentrobbed protesters of the inter-national backdrop and atten-tion. The fact that so many of

the most recent protests endedin violence either by riot-ers or by heavy-handed police

undoubtedly scared offmany people.And there is also a feelingthat many of the demonstra-tors took to the streets not justto protest, but also to havefun. The marches were a

political version of carnival,evenings spent meeting

friends, painting faces andwriting snappy placards thatculminated with singing,dancing and drinking.It was

just a big party for a lot ofpeople, Resende said. It

was the excitement of themoment. But at the end of theday, people have other priori-ties.The protests have notstopped entirely, but the onesthat do take place are muchsmaller and more focused. Atthe start, hundreds of thou-sands of people took to thestreets of the two biggestcities Sao Paulo and Rio andtens of thousands more insmaller towns and cities.Now,a few thousand people gatherat most, and their gripes focuson local or niche issues.The fact that bus fares werereduced is one of the reasonsthe momentum has died,said Jairo Nicolau, a politicalscientist in Rio who watched

and participated in the biggestdemonstrations. That was aunifying theme. But nowthere is a tiredness and youcant get lots of people on thestreets for generic issues, youneed something for everyoneto rally around.Some unionsand groups have called for anational strike on Thursday,

but Nicolau believes the eraof the nationwide unrest isover and said they will beremembered in history booksas the June protests.Butother analysts say that coulddepend on whether authoritiesmake good on their promisesand whether people see orat least feel a change.Next

year is an election year andthe World Cup will be held inBrazil just three months

before Octobers presidentialballot.What happens betweennow and then will determinethe national mood. The giantmight have gone back tosleep. But only time will tellif he is to be roused onceagain.

Japan Kenneth Bae thinksWashington should try harder

to get him released from aNorth Korean laborcamp.That was the Korean-American missionarys mainmessage in a video interviewdistributed last week by aTokyo newspaper that pushesthe North Korean line.Baewas found guilty April 30 ofcampaigning to overthrow the

North Korean regime fromwithin, with prayer. He wassentenced to 15 years of hardlabor.The Obama administra-tion certainly knows the drillfor seeking his freedom:Unofficially encourage aformer president to give face

to the North Korean ruler inexchange for permission to

take the prisoner home.(Former governors dont seemto rank high enough, as NewMexicos Bill Richardson dis-covered when he failed tomeet Bae during a Januaryvisit.A State Departmentspokesman said of the Baecase in May, There is nogreater priority for us than thewelfare and safety of our citi-zens abroad.Then why not gowhole hog?When I raised theissue on social media, a friendwrote: What purpose isserved by letting this guy rotin an abusive North Korean

prison camp? Call me

Scrooge, but I see five reasonswhy Washington while

assiduously checking on theprisoner s condition andrequesting his release shouldnt make the ultimateexpenditure of diplomaticcapital on Baes behalf:US

presidents, both sitting andformer, should recognize thattheres no urgent nationalinterest in Baes case. This is

pretty much the same deal aswith Americans who bringmarijuana or cocaine to coun-tries with really severe penal-ties, up to and including exe-cution, for fairly minor drugviolations and then expect theUS government to pull out all

the stops in order to rescuethem, says Robert Delfs, an

Asian affairs specialist cur-rently working in one suchcountry, Indonesia.The Web-

based news organization NKNews obtained and translateda video of Baes 2009 sermonto a St. Louis Korean-American church. It showshow he got himself into hiscurrent fix by plotting to infil-trate hundreds of Christians,traveling as tourists, into the

North Korean city of Rason,and by gathering local con-verts for a prayer campaign just as God made peopleenter Jericho and collapse itwithout force.

Should Obama rescue the US mis-sionary imprisoned in North Korea?
