Editor's Note: Warsaw-based journalist David Dastych, a former CIA operative once imprisoned by the KGB, warns that "while some innocent people captured and eventually tortured by the CIA or the US Army could demand compensation for being illegally detained, when we start to treat genuine terrorists as "combatants" and grant them POW rights--they will be sure they can attack us everywhere and at anytime--because that's how stupid we (Americans, and Westerners) really are!"- Friday, August 28, 2009

When Sir Winston Churchill resigned from the office of the Prime Minister of Great Britain, in 1955, he was quoted as saying “I will not preside over the dismembering” of what was previously The British Empire. But as the Empire shrank quickly to the size of the United Kingdom, the “Spy-Empire” of MI5 and Mi6, founded in 1909, never receded but expanded world-wide and turned high-tech.

Warsaw, Poland: Irena Sendler is not anymore with us. One could say the world suffered a great loss when an old lady in a wheelchair quietly pulled to the end of her long and painful but also charitable and glorious life. She passed away on the 12th of May in a Warsaw hospital, at the age of 98.
On the very day she died, a school in Warsaw was to be named “Irena Sendler’s Middle School No 23” and a ceremony occurred in a timely fashion. But her portrait was adorned by a black ribbon and the school’s banner, as students and teachers stood silent with tears in their eyes. Her funeral, on May 15, brought together hundreds of people, friends and admirers of Mrs. Sendler from Poland and from abroad. On that day, AP reporter Monika Scislowska reported: “Pallbearers carried Sendler’s coffin through the historic Powazki cemetary. More than 40 children from the newly named Irena Sendler Middle School in the capital’s Praga neighborhood looked on, each holding a yellow tulip…Frederic Chopin’s ‘Funeral March’ was played as Sendler was laid to rest and mourners gathered to hear a Catholic prayer.”

The career of Vladimir V. Putin, 56, is not one from rags to riches but rather from obscure secrecy of the former KGB officer in a dull East Germany to the trumpets and glory of the Kremlin. At the end of his second term as President of the Russian Federation, and perhaps before his new ascent to the highest officer four years later, Putin has become a national idol and a true Tsar of Russia. He is also reported to be fabulously rich, within a range of $40 billion.
