A high-level Chinese military organization has for the first time formally acknowledged that the country’s military and its intelligence community have specialized units for waging war on computer networks.
The Science of Military Strategy, which is put out by the top research institute of the People’s Liberation Army and is closely read by Western analysts and the U.S. intelligence community. The document is produced “once in a generation,” McReynolds said, and is widely seen as one of the best windows into Chinese strategy. The Pentagon cited the previous edition (PDF), published in 1999, for its authoritative description of China’s “comprehensive view of warfare,” which includes operations in cyberspace.
The new analysis of China’s cyber operations has taken a long time to produce, in part because the latest edition of the The Science of Military Strategy wasn’t released until December 2013, McReynolds said. “It takes a while for this sort of information to filter out into the Western PLA-watcher community, especially since there’s no English translation available yet. It was only last summer that the first of us in the community started to obtain copies of the new SMS and go through its contents; it’s hundreds of pages long.”
McReynolds, who said he reads Chinese, also ran his translations by analysts fluent in the language to ensure the accuracy of his work, he said.(ry
そもそも、例えば姦通罪（首切り死刑のみ）の認定は、シャリーア上も殆んど不可能。 ・・・In Saudi jurisprudence adultery and apostasy merit death, but executions for either are rare because the law makes it hard to secure convictions. Adultery, for example, can be proved by the testimony of witnesses, but they must be four Muslim men who see the sex act itself - proof nearly impossible to obtain.
そして、窃盗（手の切断のみ）で実際に切断刑は殆んど科されない。 And while the Quran says the hands of thieves should be cut off, amputations are rare because of conditions put on the crime and because judges find it distasteful, said Ahmed Juhaimi, a Riyadh lawyer and former prosecutor. Just one amputation for theft was reported in 2014, for example.・・・
首切り死刑が宣告されても、被害者の相続人の一人でも死刑に反対すれば執行はされない。 助ければ功徳を積むことになる。また、相続人が未成年の時は、成年になって執行させるか 助けるかを判断できるようになるまで、執行は延期される。 Mr. Yehiya was sentenced to death as retribution, meaning that only the victim’s heirs could pardon him. But he was spared immediate death because every one of the heirs must agree, and the victim’s youngest son was only 3, making him years short of the legal age for consent, which is 15. So Mr. Yehiya went to prison to wait for the boy to grow up before he could agree to have his father’s killer’s head cut off. Many Muslims believe that saving a life, even that of a murderer, earns one rewards in heaven, so the possibility of a pardon by the victims’ heirs has opened a realm of activism aimed at stopping executions.・・・ www.nytimes.com/2015/03/23/world/middleeast/a-murder-a-death-sentence-and-the-unpredictable-nature-of-saudi-justice.html

The Clintons are like the “Peanuts” character Pigpen ? wherever they go, it seems, their own private dust storm follows. Now Hillary Clinton is enveloped in the cloud of scandal again ? and based on her performance so far, it appears she has the same penchant for scandal as her husband, but without the political talent to overcome it. ヒラリークリントンは、“Peanuts”漫画のキャラであるPigpenに似ている。いつもその 行き先には、何かしら騒動がつきまとう。そしてまたもや、ヒラリーはスキャンダルに 見舞われている。彼女の記者会見から解ることは、ヒラリーは夫と同じようにスキャンダ ルを気にしないのだが、夫と異なって、政治的問題を回避する才能には欠けている。 (これに続いて電子メール疑惑とクリントン基金への外国政府や企業の献金の解説、省略)
Already, the scandals are putting a dent in Clinton’s armor. A new Reuters-Ipsos poll shows that Clinton’s support has dropped about 15 percentage points since mid-February among Democrats, and 74 percent say Clinton was dishonest in her news conference about the e-mails. 既にこのスキャンダルはヒラリーの好感度に悪影響を与えていて、最新のReuters-Ipsos 世論調査では、民主党支持者のヒラリーの支持率は2月中旬のスキャンダル発覚当時から 15％低下している。さらに74％が、記者会見での彼女の言辞は正直ではないという。
Democrats should be terrified by all this. If she announces, Clinton would be running essentially unopposed for the Democratic nomination. Her main competition would be Martin O’Malley, a man whose legacy is the loss of deep-blue Maryland’s governorship to a Republican for only the second time since Spiro Agnew. If the scandal grows, as appears increasingly likely, there is no credible candidate to pick up the Democratic mantle. 民主党はこれを恐れるべきで、このままスキャンダルが拡大すれば、そうなる可能性が 大きそうに見えるのだが、民主党大統領候補として選ぶべき信頼できる人材がなくなる But there could be. This is Elizabeth Warren’s opening, if she chooses to take it. でも、候補者はいるかも知れなくて、エリザベス・ウォーレンが出馬すればそうなる The corruption surrounding the Clinton Foundation should appall Warren, who has made her name arguing that the “game is rigged” in favor of powerful special interests. Foreign governments and foreign corporations with ties to those governments funneling millions to the Clinton Foundation while Clinton was leading the State Department is just the kind of cronyism Warren ran to fight against. クリントン基金への外国政府や外国大企業の献金が問題になれば、特権的な利権を批判 してきたエリザベス・ウォーレンにとって有利である。国務長官の任にありながら、そ うした資金を得ることは縁故主義というべきで、ウォーレンの戦ってきたものである。 If Warren entered the race, she has a real shot at the nomination. もしエリザベス・ウォーレンが大統領選に出馬すれば民主党候補になる現実的可能性を 有する ・・・But in the face of the twin scandals, Clinton is now looking like a far riskier proposition. Moreover, her fumbling of the e-mail and foundation revelations, together with her ham-handed book launch and other unforced errors (she and Bill were “dead broke” when they left the White House), is exposing her political tin ear. (ヒラリーは依然として民主党の本命候補であるけれど)2つのスキャンダルの発生で、以 前よりもリスキーな存在に見える。 The more Hillary Clinton stumbles, the more electable Elizabeth Warren looks. そういうわけでヒラリーがつまずくと、それだけエリザベス・ウォーレンの可能性が増す

This has happened, as an increasingly ambitious "Run Warren Run" movement has taken shape in Iowa, New Hampshire and other states.
The second element is trickier. To the grassroots mobilization must be added a measure of elite opinion that might tip a reluctant prospect (as Warren surely is) toward serious consideration of a candidacy. Prominent figures with something to lose, or perhaps to gain, must step up to support the draft effort. That began to happen when former secretary of labor Robert Reich, who served in the administration of President Bill Clinton and was seen as a likely supporter of presumed 2016 Democratic fron-trunner Hillary Clinton, said early in March that Hillary Clinton should face a primary challenge and "I wish that challenger would be Elizabeth Warren."
