The McCain campaign late Friday evening criticized Mr. Obama for failing to express regret for his remark.

Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for Mr. McCain, said, “Instead of apologizing to small-town Americans for dismissing their values, Barack Obama arrogantly tried to spin his way out of his outrageous San Francisco remarks.”

“You can’t be more out of touch than that,” he added.

MELBOURNE (Reuters) – An author for the Lonely Planet travel guidebook series has claimed that he plagiarized and made up large sections of his books, an Australian newspaper reported on Sunday.

Author Thomas Kohnstamm told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper he had worked on more than a dozen books for Lonely Planet, including their titles on Brazil, Colombia, the Caribbean, South America, Venezuela and Chile.

The Lonely Planet guidebooks sell more than six million copies a year.

The Sunday Telegraph said Kohnstamm also claims in his new book “Do Travel Writers Go To Hell?” that he accepted free travel, contravening company policy.

He said in one case he had not even visited the country he wrote about.

“They didn’t pay me enough to go to Colombia. I wrote the book in San Francisco. I got the information from a chick I was dating — an intern at the Colombian consulate,” the newspaper quoted Kohnstamm as saying.

Lonely Planet said it had reviewed Kohnstamm’s guidebooks but had not found any inaccuracies in them, the Sunday Telegraph said.

Coalition Forces capture suspected Iranian Special Groups criminal

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces detained a suspected Iranian-trained Special Groups weapons facilitator Saturday during operations northeast of Baghdad.

The targeted individual allegedly carried out attacks against Coalition forces and Iraqi citizens.

Coalition forces entered the targeted building where they secured the area and detained the suspect without incident. Coalition forces also confiscated a heavy weapon (machine gun) and a sniper rifle.

“Coalition forces will continue to pursue and bring to justice Special Groups members and other criminal elements that refuse to comply with the rule of law,” said Cmdr. Scott Rye, MNF-I spokesman.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - The death toll from a bomb blast at a mosque in southern Iran on Saturday had risen to at least 10 and more than 160 were wounded, Iranian Press TV state television reported on Sunday.

Baghdad, Apr 13, (VOI) – An Iraqi army force arrested al-Qaeda leader in the southern Iraq province of Basra on Sunday, the Iraqi defense ministry said.

“A force from the 50th Brigade’s 14th Division of the Iraqi army captured the man known as Abu Huzhayfa, the leader of the al-Qaeda Organization in the area of Abu al-Khasib, Basra province, (590 km south of Baghdad) upon intelligence tips that led to his hideout,” Maj. General Muhammad al-Aaskari, the ministry’s defense advisor, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI) by telephone.

“Abu Huzhyfa, who is under investigative custody, confessed to having led the al-Qaeda network’s operations of killings and forced relocations of Basra residents and Iraqi security forces,” said Aaskari.

“The army forces in Basra had information on his location and moves and they are about to capture his aides and followers,” he noted.

Aaskari said the defense ministry would announce further information about Abu Huzhayfa, not giving more details about his original name.

“A Clinton comeback was looking far-fetched” until “Midwesterners “cling to guns or religion” because they are “bitter” about their economic status.”

Political insiders differed on whether Obama’s comments, which came to light Friday, would become a full-blown political disaster that could prompt party leaders to try to steer the nomination to Clinton even though Obama has more pledged delegates. Clinton supporters were eagerly hoping so.
They handed out “I’m not bitter” stickers in North Carolina, and held a conference call of Pennsylvania mayors to denounce the Illinois senator. In Indiana, Clinton did the work herself, telling plant workers in Indianapolis that Obama’s comments were “elitist and out of touch.”

BAGHDAD (AP) – Radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr says he will not enter any political process that would allow U.S. forces to remain in Iraq.

“Why, ask many Democrats and media commentators, won’t Hillary Rodham Clinton see the long odds against her, put her own ambitions aside, and gracefully embrace Barack Obama as the inevitable Democratic nominee?

Here is why: She and Bill Clinton both devoutly believe that Obama’s likely victory is a disaster-in-waiting. Naive Democrats just don’t see it. And a timid, pro-Obama press corps, in their view, won’t tell the story.

But Hillary Clinton won’t tell it, either.”
