This week's summary of under-reported news

Compiled by Bob Nixon

Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf ignited a political firestorm 
by suspending Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, 
who had blocked Musharraf's effort to be re-elected, in a ruling that 
prohibited him from being president and military chief at the same.

An unfolding scandal puts $700 million of U.S. aid to Colombia at risk: 
An internal CIA report claims Colombia's army chief, Gen. Mario Montoya 
made a secret deal with a right-wing paramilitary group in 2002 to 
attack leftist rebels near Medellin, a nexus of the Latin American drug 
trade.

Democrats are seeking options to raise taxes fairly to pay off a 
ballooning deficit that could increase to $7.8 trillion if Bush tax cuts to 
wealthiest Americans are extended.
