But those drug dealers are the ones we really need to go and get - but this would never have happened if we just didn't care about them.

>What would it take for South Korea to develop nuclear weapons? It’s a fringe idea that rears its head every now and then here.

>But North Korea’s advances in nuclear weapons technology and the frustration over how to deal with Kim Jong Un’s obstinate regime have led a small but growing number of prominent politicians and academics to wonder: Why not us, too?

>“I don’t think that South Korea actually wants nuclear weapons,” said Park Syung-je, chairman of the Asia Strategy Institute in Seoul. “It’s a way of saying to the Chinese that ‘if you don’t cooperate on North Korea, then we’re going to get nuclear weapons of our own.’ ”

>“North Korea’s nuclear weapons capability power is bound to grow, so it is important for South Korea to keep military and power balance between the two Koreas,” said Cheong Seong-chang, a North Korea expert at the Sejong Institute, a think tank, and one of the most prominent advocates of South Korean nuclear weapons.

Would a South Korean nuclear weapons program be feasible? Wouldn't that completely disregard the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?

A cat that is obsessed with men's underwear has stolen more than 60 pieces of socks and pants in just two months.
Brigit, a six-year-old cat, has become a social media sensation in its native New Zealand.
Sarah Nathan, from Hamilton East, who owns the cat, says that it has stolen 11 pairs of men's pants and 50 socks.
And the cat has even made a collection in Sarah's home.
She's posted leaflets in her local community apologising for her pet's behaviour.
The owner is also asking anyone who thinks they have had their underwear stolen to come forward and reclaim them.
Speaking to the New Zealand Herald, Sarah said: "It's really, really weird. She's got really specific taste.
"In our last house she'd bring home a bit of everything - she'd bring home men's undies, women's undies, togs, she even brought home a hockey shin pad and a jumper.
"She was much less discerning - now she's decided menswear is the thing - and it's a very specific kind of underpants that she likes.
"It's an absolute obsession. A night does not go by without her bringing things home.
"I got up this morning and there were another four socks in the house."

Does /news/ think Smith's resignation as head of the department of work and pensions will have major repercussions for the Conservative party? Cameron is already having to come out to defend himself after Smith's attacks while on Marr, Osborne looks to be in a terrible position with opposition mounting in his own party.

Will Labour be able to capitalise on this? Yougov had their first poll with Labour with a one point lead a few days previous to the budget, though it should be added that Yougov's online polling sometimes overestimates opposition parties, or those with active grassroots supporters. Or will everyone just forget this ever happened, Cameron and Osborne weather the storm and the Tories win big in 2020 again.

>NEW DELHI — The Indian Navy has retired the Sea Harrier fleet that operated from its aircraft carrier INS Viraat, and plans to replace them with MiG- 29Ks that India has bought from Russia.

>The Indian Navy bought 30 British-made Sea Harriers in 1983 but only 11 now remain. The Navy once considered upgrading the Sea Harriers but abandoned the plan.

>The Sea Harrier pilots are now being trained to fly the Russian MiG 29K fighter aircraft. India had planned to replace the Sea Harriers with the homemade Light Combat Aircraft (Naval) version but the program is more than 15 years behind schedule, said an Indian Navy official.

OP comment: These were the last serving Sea Harrier variant -- the only current serving variant of the Harriers still in service are the McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) AV-8B Harrier II with the United States Marine Core, Spanish Navy and Italian Navy.

This is a few days old but I haven't seen anything posted here about it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2016/03/10/surprise-nsa-data-will-soon-routinely-be-used-for-domestic-policing-that-has-nothing-to-do-with-terrorism/

>Surprise! NSA data will soon routinely be used for domestic policing that has nothing to do with terrorism

>A while back, we noted a report showing that the “sneak-and-peek” provision of the Patriot Act that was alleged to be used only in national security and terrorism investigations has overwhelmingly been used in narcotics cases.

>Now the New York Times reports that National Security Agency data will be shared with other intelligence agencies like the FBI without first applying any screens for privacy.

>Because that information was obtained without a warrant, the agencies were instructed to engage in “parallel construction” when explaining to courts and defense attorneys how the information had been obtained. If you think parallel construction just sounds like a bureaucratically sterilized way of saying big stinking lie, well, you wouldn’t be alone. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140203/11143926078/parallel-construction-revealed-how-dea-is-trained-to-launder-classified-surveillance-info.shtml

>This isn’t just a few rogue agents. The lying has been a matter of policy. We’re now learning that the feds had these agreements with police agencies all over the country, affecting thousands of cases.

>On the one hand, I guess it’s better that this new data-sharing policy is acknowledged in the open instead of carried out surreptitiously.

>On the other hand, there’s something even more ominous about the fact that they no longer feel as though they need to hide it.
>...of course, the nifty thing for government agencies about a “war on terrorism” is that it’s a war that will never formally end.

>One comet to swerve closer to Earth than any other comet in centuries

>An emerald-green comet will brush the Earth Monday, followed one day later by a kissing cousin that will swerve closer to the planet than any other comet in nearly 250 years.

>The first and bigger of the two comets will be visible Monday to the naked eye in the southern hemisphere, as long as city lights are far away. Stargazers in the United States will probably need only binoculars to see the bigger comet in late March. Scientists, however, are bringing out the big guns. The Hubble Space Telescope, the powerful ground-based Gemini telescopes and others will be trained on the celestial visitors, which will provide an extraordinary close-up of objects usually glimpsed only at a distance.

>“This is one for the record books,” says Michael Kelley of the University of Maryland, who’s never heard of two comets approaching close to Earth a day apart. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for professionals to learn more about comets, and if you have a chance to try to find them … it’s a fantastic chance to see part of history as it happens.”
