Robert Mugabe has surgery in Malaysia
President Robert Mugabe is in hospital in Malaysia after an operation on his prostate.
Mr Mugabe, who will be 87 in February had medical examinations while on holiday in Malaysia earlier this month. He returned home to Harare but his prostate suddenly flared and he has returned to Kuala Lumpur for the operation.
Diplomatic sources in both Harare and South Africa said this was a "serious" operation and Mr Mugabe was ill, but within his Zanu PF party there is confidence he will return home within a week and recover fully.
Mr Mugabe, now in a troubled inclusive government with the Movement for Democratic Change has had remarkable health so far.
Last month at the annual Zanu PF conference he said he would lead his party in fresh elections later this year.
Morgan Tsvangirai, now MDC prime minister in the coalition government says elections should only be held when substantial political and legislative reforms and a new constitution are in place.

Rosmah, isteri PM paling kontroversial?
Isteri PM memiliki pejabat First Lady of Malaysia di Putrajaya dengan peruntukan RM111 juta dalam Belanjawan 2011
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia dengan enam Perdana Menteri (PM) dan tujuh isteri Perdana Menteri semenjak PM pertama, isteri kepada PM terkini dianggap paling kerap diharungi kontroversi yang tidak putus-putus.
Jika era PM kelima, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi diselar oleh seorang lagi bekas PM iaitu PM keempat, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad kerana dikatakan menempatkan menantunya di tingkat empat Jabatan Perdana Menteri (JPM), Datuk Seri Najib Razak pula didakwa menempatkan pejabat isterinya di bangunan yang sama.
Isteri PM, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor ketika ini dilihat sedang menikmati kedudukan beliau sebagai isteri PM Malaysia apabila bukan sahaja berjaya mencuri tumpuan malahan menjadi satu-satunya isteri PM yang menerima peruntukan yang tinggi dan pejabat khas di Putrajaya untuk beliau.
Memetik lidah rasmi Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), edyesdotcom dan beberapa blog lain, Rosmah bukan sahaja memiliki pejabatnya sendiri malah turut mempunyai bahagian atau jabatan yang dinamakan Bahagian Wanita Pertama Malaysia atau First Lady of Malaysia (FLOM) Division.
Bahagian tersebut yang hanya ditubuhkan ketika era PM terkini itu, diketuai oleh Pegawai Khasnya Datuk Siti Azizah binti Sheikh Abod disamping lima lagi pegawai lain.
Selain dianggap keterlaluan, tindakan tersebut turut dianggap satu pembaziran apabila melibatkan perbelanjaan tambahan dana kerajaan seperti gaji pegawai dan kakitangan, ubah suai pejabat dan pelbagai kos lain yang berkaitan.
Wanita Pertama Negara
Rosmah juga didakwa menderhaka kepada Yang Dipertuan Agung dan Permaisurinya kerana menggunakan gelaran Wanita Pertama Negara yang sepatutnya gelaran bagi Permaisuri Agung seperti yang termaktub di dalam Perlembagaan Negara.

Gabor was facing the threat of amputation for weeks, the result of an infection she has been battling since before Christmas. Doctors determined that Gabor’s treatment for the infection has not worked, and the infection has made its way to the bone.

Wikileaks - Lies Iran Israel
EXOMATRlXTV | December 13, 2010 - WikiLeaks has given the mainstream media yet another opportunity to vilify Iran. A typical headline, from the New York Times was: "Around the world distress over Iran." And, ironically, it is true, but not in the way the headline writer meant. Around the world there is distress over Iran, distress at the way it is being cast in the role of the Evil Doer, when all but the most ignorant observers realize that it is nuclear-armed Apartheid Israel that is the real threat to world peace, not Iran.
