Officials say a crowd of up to 1,000 people attacked the United Nations compound in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-e-Sharif, killing eight guards believed to be from the Philippines. The attack was sparked by a mosque sermon describing the burning of the Koran by an American pastor. Afghan protesters burn a U.S. flag during a demonstration against the burning of a Koran last month by Florida pastors Wayne Sapp and Terry Jones. Eight United Nations workers and four Afghans were killed when some of the protesters stormed a U.N. complex. (EPA / April 1, 2011) Share Related By Laura King, Los Angeles Times…

Newsweek's Evan Thomas on Friday took a swipe at the White House's handling of its operation in Libya. As the subject was raised on PBS's “Inside Washington,” Thomas said, “In this case, it’s always hard to know what the Administration is doing because it’s sort of a headless horse” (video follows with transcript and commentary): GORDON PETERSON, HOST: I keep thinking about “Charlie Wilson’s War.” We arm the mujahideen to get rid of the Russians, or to deal with the Russians, and then all of a sudden, the law of unintended consequences kicks in. EVAN THOMAS, NEWSWEEK: I mean, Secretary Gates said he didn’t want to get in the arming business yesterday, at least speaking for himself. It’s hard to know what the, in this case, it’s always hard to know what the Administration is doing because it’s sort of a headless… CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: What administration? THOMAS: What administration – it’s a headless horse. For those not familiar with the 2007 film, “Charlie Wilson's War” was about former Congressman Charlie Wilson (D-Tx.) funneling funds to help the CIA with its covert operation of assisting the mujahideen in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet invaders.

Gadgets come in all shapes and sizes, but it’s safe to say this is a big’un. Sure, it isn’t exactly portable in the traditional sense, and no 24 month contract is going to make it fit into our budget, but that doesn’t mean it can’t have a place in your life. It’s the Roadster Sport, the latest addition to the Tesla family and released to the world last summer. Version 2.5 is the fastest yet on the road, leaping from zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds yet still getting a rated 245 miles of range. Of course, we all know that rated range doesn’t necessarily equate to real-world range, and real-world car performance doesn’t always live up to what you read in the magazines, either. Indeed in our testing we weren’t able to make it the full 245 miles that Tesla says you can in a roadster, nor did we come close to approaching this thing’s 125mph top speed. But, after spending plenty of hours wedged inside the cockpit of this $128,500 sporty EV we did walk away mighty impressed, not only with how it drove but in how it sounded. Read on, and you might just be too.
