Toyota defends car recall delay- BBC News

Toyota has defended the timing of a recall of 180,865 vehicles in the UK following an accelerator problem.

Although concerns were raised about vehicles in late 2008, they were a quality rather than a safety issue, Toyota’s Scott Brownlee told the BBC.

Reports about the latest issue with “sticky accelerators” began in October but a recall has now been put in place.

Marines gear up for push into Afghan Taliban enclave- Reuters

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan (Reuters) – Thousands of U.S. Marines are preparing to take on a southern Afghanistan Taliban enclave in a massive show of force intended as a decisive start to President Barack Obama’s “surge” of 30,000 extra troops.

The assault, expected to begin within days, will trigger the start of what is expected to be a bloody 2010 fighting season. U.S. and NATO forces hope to make military gains that will turn the tide this year so they can begin withdrawing next year.

Mir Hossein Mousavi ’s Interview with Kaleme- kordaad88

Kaleme reports that in this interview which took place close to February 11th [22 of Bahman], the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution, Mousavi stated that the main reason for the collapse of the dictatorial and unpopular regime of the Shah was its illegitimacy [in the eyes of citizens]. He emphasized that the resistance of Iranians is a cherished legacy of the Islamic revolution. As is their intolerance for dishonesty, fraud and corruption. The complete interview is provided below.

We are approaching the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution. How can the recollection and commemoration of those days benefit us today?

First and foremost, I want to congratulate all of our people on the 31st anniversary of our [victory in the] revolution, particularly the families of our martyrs, our [war] veterans and prisoners of war [with Iraq]. Analyzing the Islamic revolution has not come to an end yet. There have been thousands of books and articles written about it and many still to come. It is interesting that the recent elections and the events following it have brought forth new critiques of the revolution.
