Nuclear agency reports unusual radiation in Europe --Iodine-131 has been measured in the atmosphere --Release appeared to be continuing 11 Nov 2011 Very low levels of radiation, which are higher than normal but don't seem to pose a health hazard, are being registered in the Czech Republic and elsewhere in Europe, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Friday. The agency said the cause was not known but was not the result of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which spread radiation across the globe in March.

Worker taken to hospital after nuclear lab incident --Sodium fire was second at lab in past week 12 Nov 2011 A worker at a U.S. nuclear laboratory was taken to an Idaho hospital on Friday following a chemical reaction that was not radiological and posed no risk to the public, the lab said. The incident, initially described by officials at the U.S. Department of Energy's sprawling Idaho National Laboratory as a sodium fire, was the second there in the past week. On Tuesday, at least six workers were contaminated by low-level plutonium radiation and 10 others were exposed following a 'mishap,' the lab has said.

US soldier found guilty in Afghan trophy killing case 11 Nov 2011 An American soldier has been convicted of three counts of premeditated murder for leading a rogue "kill team" in Afghanistan by a US military court. Sergeant Calvin Gibbs admitted during his trial to cutting off the fingers of his victims to keep as war trophies, but insisted he only killed militants engaged in armed conflict with US forces. The 26-year-old soldier was given a life sentence for 15 convictions related to the killing of three men, with option for parole within nine years.

US soldier found guilty in Afghan thrill-killings 10 Nov 2011 A U.S. Army soldier accused of exhorting his bored underlings to slaughter three civilians for sport was convicted of murder, conspiracy and other charges Thursday in one of the most gruesome war crimes cases to emerge from the Afghan war. 

'Revised' version of above summary: US soldier gets life sentence in Afghan thrill-killings 11 Nov 2011 A military jury sentenced an Afghan war veteran to life in prison after the Army staff sergeant was convicted of murder, conspiracy and other charges in the deaths of civilians, in one of the most gruesome cases to emerge from the conflict. Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs, of Billings, Mont., was accused of exhorting his bored underlings to slaughter three Afghan civilians for sport. The jury for the court martial at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle sentenced Gibbs Thursday to life in prison, but he will [insanely] be eligible for parole in less than nine years. [The 'updated' version by AP troll Gene Johnson loses this line: 'one of the most gruesome war crimes cases to emerge from the Afghan war.' Here is the 'revised' wording: 'one of the most gruesome cases to emerge from the conflict.' *Apparently,* it's no longer a war crime, but a case and no longer a war, but a conflict. --LRP]

That's more than 30 times the cost of keeping a captive on U.S. soil.
