*** Geeks, teens and Dorkafork mourn: the highly anticipated spring launch of the Playstation 3 has been officially put off 'till November.

*** What does a gutsy moderate Muslim look like? This:

Islamic televangelist Amr Khaled is young, smiling, teaches love and mercy, and is so popular he�s credited with inspiring thousands of women to take the veil.
Now he�s putting his popularity on the line by trying a new role, as a bridge between Islam and the West at a time when many are talking about a clash of civilizations.In the process, Khaled is telling the faithful something they�re not used to hearing from clerics � that Muslims aren�t blameless in the tensions, that the West is not always bad and that dialogue is better than confrontation.

More from the Commissar.

*** Hostages rescued in Iraq:

Three Christian peace activists kidnapped last year in Iraq were freed Thursday in an early morning military operation, the British Embassy in Iraq announced.
The announcement came two weeks after their colleague and fellow hostage, Tom Fox of Virginia, was shot to death and left on a Baghdad street.

The three men rescued Thursday -- two Canadians and a Briton -- were freed in a planned rescue operation by multi-national forces, a British Embassy spokesman said.

*** OTB on TB on the GWOT:

Yesterday, the British PM gave a major foreign policy speech, the first of three. That speech delineated quite clearly why he thinks we�re in a clash not of civilizations, but a clash about civilization. One could wish that GW could speak with Blair�s eloquence, but the message is the same.

One does wish ...

*** In case you missed it: newly unearthed Iraqi documents reveal that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was financing the Al Qaeda-affiliated Abu Sayyaf terrorist group in the Phillipines. And more ...

UPDATE: ABC News has more about Iraq's direct contact with Osama bin Laden:

March 22, 2006 � Following are the ABC News Investigative Unit's summaries of five documents from Saddam Hussein's government, which have been released by the U.S. government.
The documents discuss Osama bin Laden, weapons of mass destruction, al Qaeda and more.

"Osama Bin Laden Contact With Iraq"

A newly released pre-war Iraqi document indicates that an official representative of Saddam Hussein's government met with Osama bin Laden in Sudan on February 19, 1995 after approval by Saddam Hussein. Bin Laden asked that Iraq broadcast the lectures of Suleiman al Ouda, a radical Saudi preacher, and suggested "carrying out joint operations against foreign forces" in Saudi Arabia. According to the document, Saddam's presidency was informed of the details of the meeting on March 4, 1995 and Saddam agreed to dedicate a program for them on the radio. The document states that further "development of the relationship and cooperation between the two parties to be left according to what's open (in the future) based on dialogue and agreement on other ways of cooperation." The Sudanese were informed about the agreement to dedicate the program on the radio.

The report then states that "Saudi opposition figure" bin Laden had to leave Sudan in July 1996 after it was accused of harboring terrorists. It says information indicated he was in Afghanistan. "The relationship with him is still through the Sudanese. We're currently working on activating this relationship through a new channel in light of his current location," it states.

(Editor's Note: This document is handwritten and has no official seal. Although contacts between bin Laden and the Iraqis have been reported in the 9/11 Commission report and elsewhere, (e.g. the 9/11 report states "Bin Ladn himself met with a senior Iraqi intelligence officer in Khartoum in late 1994 or early 1995) this document indicates the contacts were approved personally by Saddam Hussein.

It also indicates the discussions were substantive, in particular that bin Laden was proposing an operational relationship, and that the Iraqis were, at a minimum, interested in exploring a potential relationship and prepared to show good faith by broadcasting the speeches of al Ouda, the radical cleric who was also a bin Laden mentor.

The document does not establish that the two parties did in fact enter into an operational relationship. Given that the document claims bin Laden was proposing to the Iraqis that they conduct "joint operations against foreign forces" in Saudi Arabia, it is interesting to note that eight months after the meeting � on November 13, 1995 � terrorists attacked Saudi National Guard Headquarters in Riyadh, killing 5 U.S. military advisors. The militants later confessed on Saudi TV to having been trained by Osama bin Laden.)

Ace sums the implications up well.
